Everyone wants to run the combine. It’s like I have to set an appointment to get a turn.
Karly Cherney – C&K Harvesting
Our crew arrived at our first stop in Texas on May 13. Got right to the field and had a few good days of cutting before the rain came and delayed progress for a week. The kids and I were left behind to get school and activities finished up.
It’s tough being torn between two places but it’s the stage of life we are in now with busy kids and harvest life. The kids and I were super excited to finally hit the road and catch up with our crew a couple of weeks later and right to the field we went. Everyone got right back into the harvest groove. It is SO awesome that I have such good helpers. The girls and I trade-off cooking, cleaning and field time. I’m definitely loving it!
We are now in the northern Oklahoma area. Had a few days of rainy weather but are now rolling in the fields again.
Till next time….Happy Harvesting!
