    I got back from looking at some fields and talking to guys at elevator. Apparently had over 1" last night, my digital rain guage died. Fields are really wet and the elevators were dead, imagine that. Guy at Cargill said they took in a few loads Saturday before the heavy rains hit.

    We're both thinking it is going to be one long harvest. Last year was done in little over a week but had ideal conditions.

    This water will breed mosquitos like crazy. Nothing like being in a field and the mosquitos are trying to suck you dry because they are so thick.

    Thanks Big John, I never even thought of looking up harvesting on youtube. The bad thing about being rained out this early is you know once it dries, you're going to have to run your tails off to get caught up. And you really have to be careful where you load the trucks at.

    I miss it a little, but only for a little bit...
