Well, we are getting there, slowly. As of tonight we have 180 acres of corn still to harvest. The bin dryers are full and running. We have decided to start shipping wet corn to town in a effort to finish harvest. This is not something we normally do but we obviously have some concerns about the calendar.
As kruser mentioned in his earlier post it is still wet. These pictures kind of show that there are places that are very wet.

Been a long year and we are all ready to put this thing to bed. bill

The tires were blocked, the rear end raised on jacks, the lugs loosened and the tire loosened from the hub. Then, as the big lugged circle of rubber slipped off the last wheel stud it became apparent that there was more there than just an empty tire.
