Jada: Steady does it

Jada_thumbnail

While there isn’t much to say here as Hoffman Harvesting continues to cut in Kiowa, there is much to see. The harvest conditions remain the same. Green sucker heads in our mostly dry wheat fields continue having us paying close attention to our moisture monitors. The yields are remaining in the 40’s to 50’s. Everyone has their noses to the grind which makes catching anyone out and about nearly impossible unless it’s supper time. The only thing that’s changed is the crazy wind which is working in our favor to get some acres cut once the sun goes down. Steady does it.

Its really really windy not our version of the fast and furious

Can you see the stop sign ahead sign? Because of this sign, you can tell this photo isn’t our version of the “Fast and the Furious.” It’s just really that windy. Today we had high winds and it was very dusty in the fields. The wind worked in our favor to keep the fields dry longer tonight.

Moving down the road to our next field

More beautiful sunset skys

When the lights come on you know it’s about time for the sun to go down. This time of the day is the most challenging to cut.
