Cutting wheat started about 9:30 am. He cut until about 11pm last night. This first patch today is a tiny one, less than 10 acres. Then they will head south a little bit to cut other fields. We are lucky, the farthest any of our fields are is about 4 miles from the farm. I thought he’d like a sweet treat so I stopped & got donuts while I was in town dropping the #farmkid off at camp! It’s somewhat windy today and already warming up.
Definition of a HarvestHER - a strong woman willing to do whatever it takes to get the harvest in. She must have these qualities:
1. Be ready to go at the drop of a hat...sometimes without a lunchbox.
2. Has removed the word impossible from her vocabulary!
3. Can hold a baby, take care of a toddler and drive a tractor or combine all at the same time.
4. Must be able to cook for a crew - large or small.
5. Must be able to read minds.
6. Must be able to banter with a parts man until he realizes you DO know what you're talking about.
7. Must be the entertainment director for those rainy days.
8. Be a wife, mom, friend, helper, cook, problem solver, taxi driver or extra crew hand at all times.
9. Can handle the call that makes you react, "You need what? When?" Dropping everything you're doing to make it happen.
10. At the end of the day say, "I really do love this life".
