It's Go Time...

The skies have cleared up for a couple days In a row and we started harvest at well, slow speed. After working out a few kinks corn is coming out with good test weights and moisture. With corn fields coming out that means corn stalk bales can be made. After getting a rake and bailing for hay last year we made the switch to making our own corn stalk bales. Last year worked out perfect as I was still on maternity leave and riding in the tractor put Lyndin asleep. This year lyndin and I are on bale duty again as will is busy in the field. Lyndin and I managed to get stalks chopped after work a couple nights. Thankfully they are talking a couple more clear days before chances of rain she I am going to take advantage of it. I am hoping to rake stalks tomorrow and Saturday morning and start bailing Saturday afternoon and Sunday. I will be much happier when the bales are made and wrap and home, but right now I will take being made and sitting in the field. In the winter months we rely on corn stalk bales for bedding and food supplement and with the bad winter they are predicting they will be heavily relied on this year.

So here is to harvest 2016. Ready or not here we come.
