Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
We did get some pintos off late yesterday afternoon. I kept taking hand shelled samples until they got to just barely the maximum moisture allowed. The buyer told me to take them. Hopefully they are dry enough on the truck.
We couldn’t start until 5:30pm and it was done by 8:00. Hopefully we can get some more today but it is supposed to be cloudy today.

I got one truck unloaded. Moisture was just slightly above maximum but the buyer took them. They looked and graded pretty decent. The beans are still good quality if we can get them before the pods all fall off the straw.

Well the weather man was wrong again, but this time that was a good thing. We got more sun yesterday than predicted and we got enough thrashing time to get our pintos off. Praise the Lord I’m so relieved. It’s raining now and I don’t think they would’ve been worth harvesting if we had to wait another week for them to dry.
The beans still look to be good quality but they haven’t been graded yet. They still are at or slightly above maximum moisture levels but the buyer wants them. That is such a relief and we really need some income so it will be very nice to get paid for them. These interest rates are really hurting.
I’m very much going to enjoy my Sunday.
