Impatient beans

The men are getting out the soybean header this morning.  The fields of soybeans are turning fast, especially the field of early-planted beans over on Leisure's.  Soybeans are not quite as "patient" as corn when it comes to harvest time.  Once the beans are ready, they need to come out of the field or they will start to shatter (the pods pop open and the seeds fall out.)  Quentin decided it was wise to use his time out of the corn field to get the other header ready.  We might have to switch to beans and then back to corn if things get tight this fall.
