The clouds and rain have finally given us a chance to start our bean harvest. We still have a day or two left of wheat in Hazelton but the moisture was still too high so Mychal decided to jump onto beans for a few days to let the wheat dry.

However, our forecast is now sunny and clear. A little rain break was okay because the soybeans were just borderline ready anyways. They have now ripened up more.
