A couple of Hay Pics

[Oldtimer]

Even with the little shower this morning- my swather man was able to get a little hay cut... This old country can grow some hay- and crops when we have water...

Wheat fields are 2 foot + tall and starting to ripen...

Heres a picture of a couple of the north place neighbors boys standing in their pea field....Both them boys are well over 6 foot tall...
I stole this off the northern ag network-- which is asking for bragging pictures of the crops this year.....

If only the grasshoppers and white reaper stay away :? Scattered thunder storms rumbling thru tonight - some predicted severe..

Definitely some pictures suitable for bragging rights. :tiphat:

Things look good out there! Never heard it called the white reaper before, but I may have to add that as one of my favourite ways to describe frost. Hope those crops finish for you guys this year.... nothing worse than having all the yield potential in the world just to have Mother Nature remind you that she's always in charge.

I may be wrong but I believe when he is referring to the white reaper, he means hail.

This may be a dumb question, but on them peas; what do you harvest a crop like that with? A rotary and then chop it?

The experiment station here planted some peas/rye last fall due to not knowing what type of water delivery we would get this year. Looks like they might have to estimate yield and find something to eat it. They lost the wheel lines in the stuff. Nowhere to be seen. About like that picture.

Yep- Novaman I did mean hail....

cjk- I've never raised peas, so know little about them - but they combine them....I have seen the straw both grazed or baled...
