    ...and I was right. Corn on corn acres today were weighing like this. Saw a hair better on corn after beans.

    Started raining here from Isaac about 2 hours ago.

    No, couldn't find a backhaul for it. Thought I could bounce on it but after checking mileage it was further than the board said.

    Hauling wheat myself. Hauled one load, line was too long, back to the shop, switch trucks, hauled rock the rest of the day. Tomorrow supposed to load wheat at 8, screw that, showing up at 6 or so, drop that off 4 miles away, reload, back to the shop, back to the house, sleep, back to the shop, jump in the truck with my bud, head south with wheat, north soybeans, back to the house for sleep again. Awful lot of sleeping on the job in hoppers.

    Why didn't anyone tell me how much fun having your eyeballs coated with wheat dust is? I'd have jumped into this much sooner.

    Try getting milo dust in your eyes it feels even better. May go to feedlots this week...loads have been getting harder to find around here. Diesel seems stuck at 3.99 here.
