Wow! Time has been flying by since harvest has begun on our farm. Between driving the tractor with catch cart, running farm errands, trying to keep my house presentable, and going to weddings or wedding festivities, I haven't had very much time to blog. Sad to say, but when I have been home, I've either wanted to just sit and relax or sleep!
Harvest has been going pretty good so far. We started with corn harvest a few weeks ago and decided to take out our down (aka wind damaged) corn first. That wasn't very fun to go through but things got better and actually went surprisingly well before we switched to soybeans now almost two weeks ago. Hopefully we finish soybeans tomorrow and then move back to corn harvest. I'm vowing to utilize my time at home better so hopefully it won't be so long before I blog again!
Until next time, here's a few looks at harvest so far this year:

| We've been using a corn reel so far this year to help pick-up and bring-in "down corn" into the corn head (My Farmer is looking at me like, why is she standing in the middle of the corn field?) |

Comment by Ian & Val Plagge on September 27, 2012 at 10:54pm Thanks! Have to admit, we have both red and green on the farm but mostly red. We just like to celebrate Christmas all year long!
