Now that the equipment is ready for harvest, we come to the hard part...waiting. We have heard whispers of neighbors trying the corn or hand-harvesting to check the moisture, but no moistures below 18% or so have been reported. We had another 0.4" of rain on Tuesday. The men are keeping busy with general equipment repairs and other miscellaneous tasks around the farm. The red grain truck got a little extra cleaning when accidentally Quentin set off a fire extinguisher in the cab that evidently was missing its pin. (As luck would have it, I won a fire extinguisher to replace it at the Farm Bureau meeting the other night!) The sprayer was also overdue for a new tank, which will probably result in other repairs before it is all said and done!
