The Wheat Harvest !





Resting after a hard day's work
This past weekend, the wheat harvest took place.  The John Deere combine goes through the field harvesting the wheat.  It thrashes the grain from the plant, putting the grain in a storage bin in the machine while expunging the straw out the back.  The grain is unloaded onto a truck which hauls the grain to the mill where it is sold for either bread or animal feed.  Wheat yields exceeded expectations due to above-average weather conditions and farm management practices.
