Going green

I could get used to having auto steer on the combine. I’m helping out a neighbor who owns all Deere equipment and has a brand new combine with all the bells and whistles. Not having to always look at the outside row and to be able to focus on what’s in front of you is nice. These beans were planted a month later than normal and their yielding alarmingly good.

Snow?!?!

Ok, so I know that the weather patterns in this part of the world are going to be volatile, but I really wish the threat of snow would lay off until November. We still have some acres of soybeans and corn to harvest yet and snow in mid October is an unpleasant surprise. So when I wake up tomorrow morning, there will be an inch of snow gathering in the ground. This could explain why I have seen so much wildlife out and about during the day yesterday and today. They must sense it.
