WE ARE DONE IN GUYMON, OK!!!
We have officially finished our 2016 wheat harvest run for Guymon, OK and tomorrow we will move back to our home-base of Colby, KS!!
Nothing but stubble and windmills left!!
We have ran our booty’s off let me tell ya, and we are all pretty exhausted after all these long, hot days. The farmers are very happy with the yields they got this year. We put all six machines in one circle of down wheat and that made for a picture session. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen all six machines run one after another in the same field, and it was a sight to see!
Pretty awesome to see that pop up on your machine screen!
We, of course, celebrated tonight with an awesome steak supper with all the guys. It is just amazing to see all these guys start off as total strangers to one another and now they are all working together to get the farmers crop to the elevator. The best thing about tonight was all the chatter between the guys and laughs while we were eating and then the sounds of rain drops after knowing all the crop is in.
Hope to see some of you guys in the next couple of days in Kansas!!
