    Sad Harvest Realization

    As long as this harvest has extended, and we're not done, I came to the sad realization that it will take me longer to dry this crop than to harvest it Down to 5% to go

      The last two years the dryer ran till Christmas and this year might finish earlier as we started combining a bit earlier. Propane is becoming hard to get which doesn’t help. Might “finish” today by baling up some really wet wheat and choking the last quarter of standing tough barley through.

      So close and yet ............. so far away ............ is the elusive finish line

              Capturing that moisture for next year. Good move. Hope to get some fieldwork happening here soon after the last few fields get done either by the combine or baler. Whichever gets there first and hopefully sooner than later.

                  Same here, drying since FIRST day combining, and couple weeks to go....never ending 2019 shit show. Every month since seeding was a torment of emotions for me.
                  Many neighbours mountains or many bags to dry, mostly DAMP oats and canola... watch that stuff, bin FIRE not far from us already!
