We are finishing up our last crop for summer harvest. I was able to drive a few days and then yesterday Hoot and I went and visited Matt for Hoot’s first combine ride! Today we’re thinking of letting him take the wheel (haha)!!
Enjoy the photos!
Happy Friday!!
I get the question a lot, “So when are you going back to work?” In many capacities I never really left. I did take 2 weeks at home, no farm time except via cell phone of course. But after 2 weeks my little man and I have been farming away. I laugh as I realize that after only 11 weeks of being alive Hoot has spent more time on a farm and in a field than majority of people will in their entire lives!
He seems to like the fresh air on his face, the gravel roads that keep him sleeping while we bump along, and all the time he gets to just hang with mom and dad! Life is good out here on the farm!
How does a farmer decide when to start combining for the day?
Â
What a farmer will tell you: We go walk the field, we feel under the windrow to see how dry it is, we look at the forecast for the day, we check the barometer…
What really happens: We look out across the prairie and if our neighbor is going, we go!
Time to let the dust fly!
