Racing the rain...again

We are racing the rain again.  There is a pretty good chance of storms later in the day tomorrow.  The men are scrambling to get done what they can.  They have about 150 acres of corn left in the field and will not be able to finish before the storms.  They will do what they can.

Quentin spent the morning getting the drill ready so Paul could plant cover crops on the one field of harvested beans.  It will be good to get that in before the rain.  The rye they put out in the field west of our house is already coming up.

Quentin and Ken are headed to the corn field on Osterloh this afternoon to cut.  It is still pretty soft in spots, but they hope to get it out today without tracking it up too much.  Even in the "drier" fields, I can see the tire tracks in the ground.



Making a few tracks in the fields

If they finish Osterloh, that will leave a field at Paul and Helen's and the "home place" on Chambers' left to harvest.  Hopefully, the rain will hold off at least until late tomorrow so they can get one more day of corn harvest in this week.
