Grand Canyon National Park
Audra Zimmerman – Zimmerman Harvesting
It’s been awhile since I have posted. We finished up our early fall job in Texas shelling corn at the end of July and then we moved to North Central Oklahoma to work on trying to find some soybeans to harvest. After a nice long “vacation”, we are back to work again today starting our first field of soybeans.
We had an enjoyable “vacation”. We went to visit friends in Sedona, Arizona. This included a trip to Grand Canyon National Park and Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado.
Next, we made a trip “home” to Ohio to pick up our corn head (we borrowed one for the Texas corn) to bring back to Oklahoma with us. Hopefully, we will find some corn to harvest a little later this fall.
Hope everyone has a safe and productive fall harvest.
