Wheat Harvest 2014

As you already know, this wheat harvest isn't exactly one for the record books. However, we are extremely grateful that we have a harvest at all. Any little bit of income certainly helps. Here are some more pictures of harvest this year.

 This is never a good sight during harvest...but it usually happens at least once every year for us. This time it was any easy fix. It seems as though dirt doesn't go through the header very well ;-)

I had fun while driving combine one evening. My camera apparently didn't like taking vertical photos of the header and this is what it made it look like. I think it is kind of cool! And no, our equipment isn't that bent out of shape. 

This is what happens when you try to take a picture while unloading...and quit paying attention to what you should be doing. See how big the previous piles of grain are? See how big mine is? Oops.

Always love the sight of this place during harvest. When I was in grade school, it was pretty much the only business in Wallace and it was open all year. Now harvest is the only time it is open, so to see it being used and busy makes me happy.

Gotta weigh the truck before we go dump. 

Ok, so I missed the actual dumping part. I'm still not used to semis being able to dump from the bottom of the truck. I'm  accustomed to the old-school days of having to raise up the truck bed to dump all of the wheat out of the back.

I know it is blurry. But, this ticket shows that even though we don't have much, we still have good quality. For moisture you usually don't want to be at 14 or above. Dockage is according to how much "trash" you have in your wheat (weeds, cheat grass, etc.) and 0.6 isn't too bad. The test weight is right about where we want it at 62.1 and protein is looking pretty good as well at 13.7.
