Harvest 2010 coming to a end!

We are in our last week of our 8 week harvest of 2010. We have about 50 acres of soybeans and 40 acres of peanut left to harvest. It has been a pretty good harvest. The dry weather has been a huge blessing. But as soon as the harvest is over fall field work is will be wide open until the wet weather sets in for the winter.

Peanut harvest is wide open!

Well we are really busy again this week! Peanut harvest is here and is going very well. It is a very slow harvest. It is not like soybean or corn where one can cut 100 acres a day. On a very good day in the peanut field we average about 25 to 30 acres a day. But the peanuts are having very solid yields so we can't complain about that. We are also still cutting beans this week, we probably lack about 300 acres of beans to cut.
