I think the Wheat farmers have a little more sense than the Corn Farmers do. When I take food to the field they don't want anything that can't be eaten with one hand while the other hand is on the steering wheel. Not even PIE.

They stop just long enough for me to toss a lunch bag into the cab and then they're off and running again.

Understandable when you're trying to get the field cut and our guys used to eat in shifts with some of them still running the combines while the others ate.

Sometimes the dust was so blowing so bad from the combines and the wind that it was hard for them to hunker down that keep it out of their food. Sometimes we took supper to the fields too in addition to lunch and those were really big cooking days.

But everybody works hard during harvest. Not much wheat to worry about in that neck of the woods this year, it was too dry earlier and most of it got a late frost which finished doing it in.

That is really cool. I have bookmarked it and will be looking at it again before Sunday.

We planned to be landed by the 30th for three reasons:
our youngest's birthday is today. She is 14.
I wanted to celebrate America's birthday in AMERICA.
Tax purposes. You get credit for having your kids with you in the US for 6 months or more.

It is good to be home.
