Dried Out Nicely!

The grounds are in very good shape, the rains of Friday have soaked in, and the field work was back on track, though a little later in the day. The second attempt at the 48 horse hitch was as successful as the first on Friday. The horses all behaved, and the attempt went off without incident.

Much progress was made on the harvesting front, the combines and pickers were busy throughout the afternoon on both corn and soybeans. The plowing crew also made good progress today. It turned out to be a fine day after a rough start with sporadic sprinkles most of the morning. I was not able to get a good count, but it had to be the greatest number of corn pickers assembled in one place in many years

Sunday promises to be a great day, with moderate temperatures, and little chance of rain.
