Corn harvest wrapped up for our farm last week, and as is typical on the farm, was immediately followed by more work. Yep, it's high time to drill/seed/sow wheat. And once that's done, it'll likely be time to harvest soy beans! Woo-hoo for fall farm work (and generally speaking I truly mean that).
More often than one would think, we seem to gather around a tractor/combine while it's fuel tank is filling.
And where humans are, so are the chickens, dog and cats.
I'm not sure if you can hire him, but if you've got tractor wheels that need cleaning you could ask Levi. He just might take you up on it if you make a good enough offer.
Noah on the other hand, found a break from the Kansas wind in one of the freshly wiped off wheels.
The farmers make countless farm decisions in this space between the fuel tanks and the roundtop shed - it's their conference room.
Corn stalk leaves have been busy blowing, gathering, rearranging, rustling and crunching all over the yard this past week. Ridiculously strong Kansas wind has kept them very, very busy.
Levi worked hard to build a pyramid with the sticks he found on the sand pile.
While grandpa pulled away from the fuel tanks, Levi admired his handy work (although it collapsed a moment later).
The outdoor conference room by the fuel tanks has been a meeting spot my entire life. As a child I would go there to listen to the farmers tell stories, discuss the weather, or make plans for their work. Now as an adult I go their for the same reasons, and because where the farmers, chickens, dog and cats are, so are my children.
