Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
We had quite a stretch of dry weather. The timing was perfect for us. The beans got a little drier than we would like but we did a really nice job thrashing them. The newer combines handle the drier beans so much gentler than the old rasp bar ones.
We are almost done with our dry beans. Just about 14 acres of replants. My son has one more field of replants about 30 acres and a neighbor has another 120 acres.
I worked at planting wheat. It was plenty dry for that too. I even planted some at night just to conserve moisture. Besides my wife and dog were gone and an almost full moon was on the horizon.
My wife and dog were still home when I started planting along side our dead end road. I like seeing them go out for a walk.
It’s been drizzling around here for the past three days now. Catching up on some shop work. Fixing all the stuff that we broke in the last few weeks.
I think we might be able to plant wheat again tomorrow, but it’s going to take some sunshine to get back at the edible dry beans. Soybeans are almost ripe now too. Getting closer to permanent pile for sugar beets. Usually around Oct 20 but depends on temperature forecast.
Nice chance to catch our breath now and get ready for the big push. Glad we got as much done as we did.

Not much better place to catch my breath than at our beach. Even if it’s drizzling around and you can’t hardly see where the sky meets the lake on the horizon.
I have been collecting some skipping stones and adding them to my steps.

WhistlingBadger:
The place is beautiful as always, BJ. It's hard to have too many skiping stones.
