I farm 1000 acres but will only have around 300 in wheat to cut. Two years ago I was in the field the second of June (a first for me) but have spent my birthday (June 19) and the Fourth of July in the field. I have two semis and a straight truck and a JD 9500. There are still three elevators within 10 miles of here. I remember when they stayed open until 11pm. No longer. If you are lucky they might stay open until 6 for you. It takes the rest of the night to fill up all of the trucks anyway. I only run a 22 foot header because of the bridges and narrow field access in spots.
I love harvest. There is nothing I love more. Specifically, wheat harvest. It sometimes takes up to two weeks depending on the acres I have planted but I wouldn't trade it. Even when things break down.
Growing up harvest was a lot more work. We had a Massey Super 92 combine and a 65 Ford F600 truck. We worked like slaves to get that crop out. I have no idea how I didn't come to hate it, but my love for the time started way back then. Maybe it is the race against the odds and the prayer you say every time you go to the elevator. Lord, please let this load be dry, the weight be high, and the probe hit the cleanest spot in this load.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
