It's just my dad and I so it makes sense to hire cutting done. Between haying and the cows it would be too much work. That and we only seed about 1k in wheat so it's hard to justify spending that much money on equipment.

My buddy's dad bought a new JD this Summer, $500k with the header, insane money but they also cut about about 10k acres of wheat.
Crops look good here, elevators are filling trains left and right, bins are filling up and wheat is going on the ground.

We're kinda hit and miss here.
100 bu. straw and 70 yeield in some of the red wheat.
SWW is purty good over all.
They thought it would all be outstanding with all the moisture this spring, but that's farming.
JD here is $650k after hillside and draper head options. Unreal.
Fall wheat is about done and spring beans, lentils, peas, barley and wheat is purty green yet. That same bunch o' moisture set spring stuff up for late cutting after late plant.
