Jada: Servicing is part of a daily routine

Colby, Kan.- Before getting in the field to cut, we come out in the morning and do servicing on our equipment. Our duties range from filling gas, greasing machinery and cleaning windows/ interiors  to minor repairs and odd and ends job.

The wheat is looking good here. Yesterday we were cutting wheat ranging from 45 – 65 bu/ac. The test weights were anywhere from 60 to 63 lbs. Below are some photos of the crew servicing and us harvesting by Gem, Kan.
