Harvest is Done… At Last!
While not without plenty of trials and tribulations, the corn is in. It started as hopefully as it usually does. It seems I am ready to roll with harvest every year, my mind omits the struggles from the previous season. This season was no different. This time however, I took notes.
Right off the bat, the big tractor lost oil pressure. Down to one tractor to pull the gravity flow wagons, I was forced to borrow another tractor from a neighbor.
Not once, but twice, the stirrators in the drying bin quit. This required expensive service trips, new parts, and quite a bit of downtime.
Even with tracks on the combine, a simple washout stopped progress. We broke a chain trying to pull this little mistake out. (that 
reminds me… need to buy brother-in-law a new chain)
Oh well, time to rejoice in the completion of the harvest. I just need to move a truck and take down some augers tomorrow. Another harvest will be complete. This year will be the closest I ever finished to deer season. It’s time for some rest. I need to check my sights on my deer gun in the morning.
A close one but so proud and glad it’s done and all are safe.
