27 Sep Kimberly: Fall is around the corner

The beans here in North Dakota are about ready to be combined. It’s amazing how fast they turned this year. We still have combines in Westhope combining canola and some around Langdon working on canola as well.

Mychal moved out of South Heart and took those machines to Westhope to start cutting for another farmer. They had a few days of cutting before we had to shut down because the dew in the mornings was getting bad, and then we had a few days of rain.  We were hoping to start back up this week (Sept. 22) but the weather decided to put an end to that.  Mychal’s farmer ended up having a bad storm roll through over the weekend, and the white combine finished his field for him. Now, Mychal and his crew will load up and head to  Turtle Lake, North Dakota, to start our first field of beans for the year. 

Roger, Cole and Logan are hoping to finish where they are and get ready to dive into beans by the end of this week or early next week. 

While it has been slow for us in the field, life has been pretty hectic. Bentley has had two to three games per week, plus practices, so he has been keeping me going every day. They have been having a pretty good season, and we are two weeks away from the end of the season. He has one more regular season game left, and then we head into playoffs. Where did September go?

Last year in the first part of October we had a big snowstorm that shut school down for two days. Let’s hope that’s not the case this year. The weather here has been fairly warm, minus the few rain delays. It’s been in the upper 70s most of the month, but I have seen that it’s going to start cooling down in the next week.
