I'm going to do a sherp_a_knee and not go outside all day..
Except I'll do fun stuff instead of blowing hot air on the innanet.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

It didn't rain here for basically 2 months straight then unloaded 6" in 2-3 days. Right at harvest.
First time in my life we didn't get field baled. Windrows disappeared in new alfalfa.
And it's still sprinkling a week later. Farmers cut for one afternoon in the last week.
Fairly odd situation.
June in August.

SamOlson: The Dillon area set records of several kinds for rain in August - including most days rained, ever recorded, at 17 (seventeen)!
Sorry if your crops were harmed.
Should stave off forest fire dangers though.

I don't think sam is worried much about forest fires.

Prairie fire yes, forest fire not so much.
It seems like we're the only ones who haven't had a fire yet this summer. Not complaining!

It's a frikken mess but what the hell, I don't have to run a combine....grin
Our wheat is fairly short this year(ran out of moisture in July..).
Short wheat means they have to cut it lower. Lower header means your down in the sticky halfway muddy ground. They were having to get out and manually clear the draper headers about every 20-30 minutes.
Slow going to say the least. Oh well, we don't have many acres to cut compared to the uber farmers. They are worried.
Quality is way down for some fields. The wheat has bleached out in the head and loses value by the day. Moisture really zaps it.
Winter wheat is sprouting in the head. And like you mentioned the wind has layed some down. Great crops north of here and they took a hit yesterday in the wind and heavy rain/hail.
So far our grain is taking about a $0.40/bushel discount.
Cannot complain, thank god for a few cows....grin
Wages we are at 30 bushel so far, only cut maybe 100-120 acres so it's a real early average. Not great but not bad for this country.
Break even basically with the current price........grin
