We have been waiting all summer for this view.
Riding in the buddy seat in the combine
while DH operates this huge machine.
That takes up the whole road
And while Sam loved the ride, took in every minute.
Joe was not as fortunate.
He did get a good hour nap as we harvested the field corn.
And was a smiles when we got back to the house and found Grandma.
Oh, yeah, that's my big man.
It has been a long time since Harvest came this early.
I remember when we were married Sept 9 the corn was still mostly green.
But whenever it comes, the farmers are ready.
And the 'shop talk' remains the same...
combine, tractor, wagon, auger, grain bin, husks, silks, unload on the go, 6 rows at a time,
dirt, sun, dust, smiles, frustrations, parts, hopper, auger wagon, 'how wet did it test?' 12-15, good harvest, family, teamwork, 2 tractors, 2 wagons, bumpy fields, water jugs, corn head, bean head, field corn, soybeans, Graber farms, family lunch, 4 generations, working the land, a hard days work, buddy seat, combine buttons, time for good conversation, naps in the combine, 20 questions from Sam
Passing on the Tradition.
