Thread: 2017 Fall Harvest

Tweet

Last Saturday morning we had to haul dry corn in to town to make room for wet corn they'd be picking that afternoon that had to come back to the farm to be dried. (They've already hauled over 150 loads of dry corn to town to make room in their bins. The drier shows they dried 321,000 bushels as of Saturday night through their drier. Pretty far above most normal years) My last dry load to town got me some shaking fingers at the scale house..... It was a long day. I put over 300 miles on the truck I was driving. There weren't too many dull moments. That was the field doing 280 average. We started with 4 semis running and were hauling in to the nearest town. 1 had to go back to the farm and haul more dry corn in. (They also had a tractor and 2 744 bushel wagons going to town with dry corn too.) Once they got into the more wet stuff, that all had to go to the farm. Then 4 semis couldn't keep up. When the equipment in the field has to stop, no one seems to be happy.
