This is a short week after taking Memorial Day off. I spent most of the week hauling corn, both dent and waxy, that we have sold recently. We’ve also had some good progress on getting the old model 45 combine cleaned up and tuned up in hopes of cutting some wheat with it soon. Enjoy the pictures!

Thank you so much for adding captions!!!!
I’m enjoying my learning process.
You’re welcome, Tammy!
great shares thank you for the peek into your world <|;-)
Thanks for peeking 🙂
You’ve been busy.Really enjoyed the pictures.
Looks like such a difficult job and likely for far too few “thank yous.” Great images though…almost feels like I got a tour of the farm!
Thanks for stopping by, Patrick! It’s not hard when you love it!
I really like the corn shots, Brian. The one that shows the progress of its growth and the other one that shows the truck ready for loading. “Knee high by fourth of July,” right? Looks like you’re ahead of schedule!
Thanks, Becky. We are really far ahead this year, but these days even in a normal year we are knee high before the old saying! I’ve got some great slideshows of popcorn and soybeans I worked on last year that show growth every week from emergence to harvest. I’ve got them on Photobucket, but I have not yet found a way to get them on here or YouTube. If I try to save the individual pictures to my computer they end up all distorted. Here’s a link to them http://su.pr/1aMm44 and hopefully I’ll find a way to post them here one day.
That would be cool, if that done in a video time sequence. (Maybe someone who is just learning how to do that would help out if you let them share/use the work when if was done?) Glad to hear things are going well. My mom was the oldest of five on a farm family — they raised dairy cows and mostly soybeans and corn.
Reblogged this on Jessica Phelps Summary.
Thanks!
