The Mind of Kenney Young

Hi

On Wednesday, the week before Memorial Day we started combining wheat in Walters Ok. We didn’t stop once for rain until the end of June when we were in Kingfisher, OK. . The wind would take the dew off early in the morning so we could get going by 10:30 or so. Phil said this does not happen every year; he said it was very odd that it didn’t rain. little showers would come through about every three or four days last year and shut us down for most of the day.

We harvested wheat from ten or eleven in the morning till midnight almost every day. The most acres of wheat I got harvested in one day was 210 acres. I only have one machine so that was a good day. I was in a 400 acre field and the line at the elevator was fast, so I didn’t have to wait.

I got a phone call from an elevator in Hobart. He had a customer looking for a custom harvester. My next job was in Kingfisher. I called Earnest and told him I was almost done in Walters. He said the wheat was a little wet yet. He thought it would be three or four days before it was ready. He had two combines of his own and would call as soon as they got started. This would work out perfect; I could pick up the job in Hobart and still get to Earnest on time.

The last day at Phil’s I had about sixty acres left and I had my first breakdown. A bearing I had replaced when the combine was inspected before I left Hartington come lose and cut into the counter shaft that drove the straw chopper. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. This put a twist in the plan to get to Hobart.

What happens next will be my next blog. My affiliate sponsors help pay for this blog, please check them out. Bye for now! Danny
