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.
