After we got done with the spraying this morning we finished up wheat for the year. We harvested about 60 acres with a IH 403 and JD 45. We spread it out over 4 days.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame.
