28 May Jada: Another field bites the dust
And another one bites the dust…. a wheat field that is. And dusty it has been! The wind has been blowing like crazy making the weather wonderful for harvesting wheat. Our truckers have been hauling to and from the Sharon, Kan. elevator what seems non-stop. The blue trucks have been busy because the crop is yielding well- averaging at 65 bu./ ac. If the weather allows us to continue with this harvest groove we’ll be wrapping up our Kiowa, Kan. harvest soon. For now, we are moving a machine and a truck up to Pratt, Kan. as the wheat is ready there. Callum and Bux will take care of commencing our harvest in Pratt.
Making the move to another field.
Another field bites the dust thanks to Callum’s help.

The wheat that didn’t receive hail is yielding well in the Kiowa, Kan. area.

Posted at 21:13h, 28 MayThe combines you have are new to us. What are the doors on top open for? Is that for the grain? Glad all is going ok for you. Harvest is going full blast here. We live between winfield and arkansas city, ks. and looks good. Have not heard any bushels,but has to be good. I fallowed 2 trucks to small town of hackney today and was in a hurry or would have stopped and ask how they were doing. Sharon
