The last evening of harvest lasted longer then we thought it would, but in the end Grandpa got all the wheat cut. We got to the farm and ate some pizza just about as fast as we could so we could get in on as much of the last wheat field as we could. We shnarfed down our pizza, gulped some water and got on the 4-wheeler....just as it started to sprinkle. Rain!?!?! What!?!?! The sun had been shining all day. We went out to the field (within a 1/2 mile of the farm) and Noah got in with Austin and Levi got in the combine with Grandpa. Then is rained harder and eventually the guys stopped and we all went back to the farm. What a bummer!
But, that gave the boys time to hang out with Austin while he ate his pizza supper. It happened to be a pizza kind of night on the farm I guess. Seeing Austin eat pizza reminded the boys that they hadn't eaten but a couple of bites of their pizza earlier. So, they got some more and they had a little pizza party on the tractor.
Thank goodness Austin had his jug of water along!
In addition to being time for wheat harvest, it's also time to double crop soybeans into a lot of the cut wheat fields. Ben planted beans on Wednesday and might do more in the next couple of days.
The sun came out and before we knew it, we were headed back out to the field on the 4-wheeler.
It was a dusty/dirty faced night, no doubt.
The Burkholder's came out to see the last hour of harvest. We walked through a field to explore along a creek bed but the mosquitoes and poison ivy made us cut our exploring short.
But, in just about an hour the field was done and wheat harvest 2011 wrapped up.
