Harvest Labor Weekend

Chuck Zimmerman

Corn HarvestThis is what I saw a lot of coming home from the Farm Progress Show and then again today when I was out in the field.

It’s perfect weather to be out in the field so I’m sure this is going to be a busy weekend of harvesting.

While I was out today there was a kind of infrequent breeze which made for a lot of dust devils. I tried to get a picture of one but they didn’t cooperate with when my camera was ready.

Corn HarvestA large one crossed over the highway in front of me at one point carrying a lot of corn trash with it. It was interesting to see swirling corn leaves moving through a soybean field which was on the opposite side of the highway from where it started.

I’m starting to get the dust from the Farm Progress Show out of my system. I know the streets are paved but I didn’t notice much less dust than normal. I had to take my camera to the shop this morning to have it professionally cleaned. I tried but just couldn’t get it all out. I’ll have it back Tuesday. This coming week promises to be a catch up week for me finally. Laura will be going to Chicago to the Peak Anitfreeze Indy 300 which gives me a road break. Thank you Laura.
