Just the Harrow and Me
Today was a beautiful day. While it started off a little cool, it warmed up nicely to just around 70 degrees. It was mostly sunny and a light wind of 10-15 mph. Our neighbor came back today to finish cleaning out the barn at home and to clean out one of the barns at my place. Dad and I were in the field all day, he on the planter and me on the harrow. It is easy work, though getting jostled around in a tractor cab for hours at a time does get old. I have accelerated my speed to High 2, which is about as fast as dad goes, though I don't open the throttle all the way. Nevertheless, I was making very good progress today and managed to get all the fields that I was assigned done before 6 p.m. We are in desperate need of rain, though. Everything is SO DRY. There is so much dust flying when I harrow, I sometimes lose track of where I've been. There is a chance of rain tomorrow, so hopefully it happens.
