Harvest Done

[rusty6]

Been a long process but we finished up the last load of canola on Oct. 20. Considering the combine came out of the shed on Sept. 11 thats a long time. Weather
holdups and machinery problems as well as extremely hard swaths of canola is what I'm blaming it on. Two combines but I never had more than one working at a
time. Between the IH 1660 and John Deere 7721 pull type they got the job done. Luckily winter held off long enough. Just a bit of video of the finish here.
Last day of harvest

This last field of mine had been swathed almost six weeks. No problem with green but it just took me that long to get to it with weather and breakdowns holdups.
No snow here yet but some fine rain stating up this evening. It was a quet, cloudy and above normal temp day so I got some water hauling done with the old IH truck.
