COMBINE!!!

We made it out to my friend Wayne's farm yesterday morning to ride along during wheat harvest.  Skyler was SO excited to be in the cab of the combine!   We rode for a little over 2 hours.

We were in the field next to the new park in Blufdale that we visited a couple of weeks ago.

30 foot draper header.  Draper means belts instead of a cross auger.

Unloading on the go.  The wheat was yielding 110 bushels per acre and 60 pounds per bushel test weight.  Not too shabby for the desert!

Wet spot!  We came awfully close to getting stuck.  It was touch and go there for a minute.  You can see the draper belts in this photo.

30 foot header, GPS auto steer set to 29.5 feet makes for a perfect width pass.

This might be the last year he can stand up without bending over in a John Deere cab.  :(

Unloading again.

We finished the field!  Skyler checking out where all the chaff comes out.

Half million dollar beauty!

Happy.
