Slow start to harvest!

Late yesterday afternoon the men were able to get the combine out and cut some wheat.  They started on Chambers' wheat since there had been less rain in that area on Sunday.  The wheat was dry, and the field wasn't too soft.  I haven't heard any hard numbers on yields yet, but it seemed to be doing "well".  The wheat was too tough to cut by around 9 so they had to stop for the night and weren't able to finish that field.  Then, last night we had another pop up thunderstorm drop a little over a half inch of rain on us again.  We can't complain about the rain, even if we are anxious to get the field work done.  The corn needed the moisture.  It has that "pointed" look and will be tassling any time now.
