Combine ran fine all day. All that work on the clutches on the corn head paid off. Not one row gave me trouble all day. So I finally know what the result of the big drought is. I planted my corn around memorial day. We had almost no rain until the second week of July. Most was only inches high going into July. A lot of seed never came up or died. Because the plants were small for so long the deer grazed large section nearly to the ground. Turkeys were also a problem. Also, we really never got the rows to canopy and weeds were an issue. Plants that normally top at 7-8' were 4-5' high at most and a lot was shorter. I noticed a lot of plants with good normal cobs but all the seed eaten from the cob. Anyhow, today we ran less than 30 bushel to the acre. We were well over 100 last year. Good and clean, test weight 59, moisture 16.3. Believe it or not, I will come very close to breaking even. I have an issue with the holiday but I might just be all done end of next week. Not complaining...my wife rode the buddy seat and we had a nice day.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
