Harvest

I went to the wheat field at the end of the day so I could get all the different shades of gold. 

I Love wheat fields, one of my favorite things.

Tracks....and a perfectly manicured golden lawn.

They had about half of the field cut when I got there.  I think this is a beautiful field, you don't see  a single weed in it,  I can't do that in my little flower beds.

This is a Rednecks lawn mower, it's a beautiful thing.

It was the last round for the day.  You don't want to cut if the moisture is up...it needs to be dry.
 I think they might be quitting tonight because they are tuckered out , not the moisture.

He had a full bin earlier than expected....the yield has been good on this field this year.  

  A lot of work has gone into this moment and it's a great relief to have it cut and out of the field.  It makes a farmer nervous when a storm is coming and the wheat is still in the field needing to be cut.   A hail storm can wipe out a field in a matter of minutes.   

Thanks for visiting harvest in my part of the country,
