I took some vacation back during the second week in August from my everyday job to come home to help combine wheat. It was a slightly below average year with yields around 30-40 bushels. The protein was very good and was pretty consistent at being over 14%. The main delays we had during harvest was wet field conditions. In the pictures is our Gleaner L2 pushing a 20 ft head with my brother behind the wheel.
After the last picture, he left some tracks in the next pass.
In the next field we dropped our straw for baling.
Moving back home to get ready for the next farm.
Next farm, we had to drop the straw here also.
The field path that we use to get to this field was a bit too wet to get the truck in and out of there, so used a poor man's grain cart setup. It worked pretty good as this field had to be hauled into town and there was some long wait times.
Hope you enjoy the pics.
