Here Roger tops off a wagon at the end of the day. He is an expert doesn't drop 1 bean, that 's pretty impressive with a machine that unloads 4.5 bushels per second, that's about eight 5 gallon pails per second. We have not had very many super late nights, usually done around 7 pm. Not only are we harvesting, Harrison and I planted 25 acres of rye today which we will use to fill the silo next year. It is dry here lots of dust which can be dangerous and is a common culprit in combine fires. At one point when we turned around the dust was so bad we had to engage auto steering during the turn and have faith it would take us to the right spot, worked great. We hope to have beans all harvested by the end of the week. We'll have to move to some of our farms that are farther away, which takes some time but yields have been reasonably good so it will be interesting to see how those fields have done with different soil types and variable rainfall events.
