Harvest 2012 is complete

The harvest is complete! Woo hoo! We were probably the last in our area, but it got done, we are happy with our average yield and we ended on a beautiful day. Moisture levels were up on the corn we had to harvest after a week of rainy weather, but it will balance all the super dry corn that was harvested earlier in the month.

Jesko drove the combine the last few rounds to finish the field and as the combine ate up the last rows of corn, a brown hen came running out in front….not a pheasant or a rabbit, a hen. That was a first.

We are all relieved that it is over. Now it’s time for clean up, winterizing all the machines and buildings, and having this baby!
