Harvest Time

It is harvest time of year again. Between the semi trucks, combines and pickups driving around for harvest along with the crews putting up the windtowers, our dusty, lonely county roads have turned into mini highways. Who would have thought we would see so much traffic on our little 'trail road'.
If you have never had a chance to hear the wind rustle through a field of wheat, you are missing out on a wonderful sound. You don't have to be a farmer to appreciate how nature can grow such a crop. It takes the right timing of rain, soil temperatures, winter freeze and hot summer days to bring it all to a harvest.
My husband has been out on the combine and helping with harvest this last week. I think his two favorite times of year are branding season and harvesting. I even climbed on for a round this year. It is nice to see the harvest bringing in a yeild after so many years of low prices, drought and disease. I hope that the blessings continue to all the farmers and ranchers this year.
