Dry land corn has not done well in our part of Kansas this summer. We've seen 100 degrees on 46 days so far and with little rain in between it didn't give the corn much of a prayer to prosper into a high yielding crop.
(Bonus points if you can spot the plastic purple swimming pool in the picture above. Dad hauled it out of the field to the ditch and this afternoon we noticed it had been picked up.)
Thank goodness for crop insurance or my dad would be feeling more pressure and stress than he already is. But I don't think there's a farmer out there who prefers to get a payment from insurance over harvesting a good crop.
We got a couple rides on the combine in this brief corn harvest. Most of the corn fields won't see the combine this year. So we took full advantage of these fleeting harvest moments.
Levi took the picture above and the one below.
Noah had a great time riding to the Canton elevator with Uncle Bruce on Friday afternoon. He waltzed into the house with a can of Coke and smile from ear to ear.
There's no shortage of dust around here these days.
It was hot today and it'll be hot tomorrow. Can you tell which one of these three has been working the hardest? Can you tell which one had been outside for only a couple of minutes and still has tons of energy?
