Just finished harvesting my oats. Actually, just finished cutting them with a grain binder. Now I gotta go out and stack them in shocks, dry them down for a week or two, load them on the wagons, and transport them for thrashing. We supply the oats for the thrashing demonstration at the Blanchard MI. steam show coming up the 27th thru the 29th. Wife rode the binder as a second operator, pair of eyes to see that everything is running smoothly. Hope she forgets how rough and no fun it is before next year. Son usually rides for me, but was working yesterday and today. Those old grain binders are quite a contraption. Somehow they appear to be pretty fragile, but they're also mighty heavy to move around. Old Farmall 200 was grunting pulling it up hills, and in sandy soil. Yield looked pretty good a couple weeks ago. But when we got out there, weather, weeds, and wildlife all took their toll. Large flocks of blackbirds are descending on the fields already. Deer grazed and trampled a bunch. Chased 3 coons out of the field, so you know they were up to no good. Also one bunny rabbit.
Like my dad used to say," Cut that one one on shares!"
