28 Jun Jenna: A few recent photos
(All taken near Manter, Kan. during the past week.)
Two combines sit for a few short minutes while their operators eat lunch.
Lee K. stands amongst the action in the field.
My mom (Tracy) running combine.
Anna K. (18), who normally runs combine, had to settle for watching others work while her combine was being repaired.

Posted at 05:58h, 28 JuneVery nice photos. What camera are you using? Those pictures have life … Everyone, just take a look at the sky in the back ground and the stubble in the foreground. From what some of us are used to where we live, it’s fresh air. This is good photography (getting a little tire, I like that! quite authentic and creative!!). Although I realize you wouldn’t post some photo’s for a reason. :] still I think they’re great! But, hey we were expecting more than 4. 🙂 I know it’s not easy to get good shots when your constantly running.
Harvesting days are long. One is already a zombie after a few long day and being a zombie is dangerous around machinery, so be careful you all.
It’s very interesting to know what yields are doing in some parts. We all know "yield" to be the main topic of harvesting any grain. So as a moving harvest blogger it’s nice when you elaborate on yields often.
Thanks for your time in keeping us posted.
