20 loads to Conrad yes are you enjoying it I am enjoying it yep yep Do You Love truck driving I do
yeah I started a couple years ago been helping my dad off and on so that's awesome then your mom's
also cooking for Harvest which is so awesome Yep yep she's cooking here for lunch for lunch and
supper so I get to have her food which is really nice yes and it's so delicious it is how old were
you when you started learning how to drive trucks oh probably when I was 15 and then I helped a lot
of farmers throughout High School just a couple of years ago I decided to buy a truck and been
hauling since then that's awesome yep well thank you yeah you're welcome thank you feel
like coming out and Hauling our wheat I do yeah I enjoy it out here it's a fun operation yeah
well thank you we're here at lunch now I'm here with Grandpa you know what now
you have a grasshopper on your shoulder do you want it there we go did you get it yes
good it might have went in the pickup though I don't know where you get all the grasshoppers
where do you get them I'm not sure they seem to come out of nowhere when I cut
that tall grass that Chris had in his flower garden it was about three or four feet tall
it was just loaded with little teeny grasshoppers little one oh wow and I
seen the birds in there the birds were in there eating but they haven't got any birds out here
oh I've been on the road for the last hour or two Conrad John Deere, Hoven equipment
and where else did I go oh I had to get gas so I've been busy well that's good you've had
a good day am I can I have an hour off well thank you Grandpa I'm gonna get back in the combine now
you're getting tired of that no I love it and you can drive it to class hahaha sounds perfect
love you grandpa that's wearing a Kate's Ag shirt today at lunch too there you go how do you like
your shirt Dad it's great get going now we're back from lunch and just harvesting I've done a couple
dumps in Eric Wahl and Steve Wahl Arvid just said something's on fire oh my gosh that is so bad
for a minute I did smell a bit of burning today I wonder if it's arvid's belt again that combine has
a belt that goes off oh my goodness that's so bad not sure what's going on they didn't immediately
take it out of the field so it's obviously not a big fire or else they would have for
sure on that I wonder if that belt is going out again last year when I smelled burning or maybe
it was two years ago no last year when I smelled burning there was a belt that had went out in that
combine and I thought it was my combine burning up but it wasn't it was actually that one and that
belt has gone out three times so I'm wondering if that's what it is and that's kind of where
they are is looking at the header and I think it's the feeder belt or something like that so
so I'm hoping everything's okay A fire is the last thing we want during Harvest Time this could be
super bad Kate it's going to blow up and then you just have to remember to pick that up a little bit
okay I will
can't drive out there with my damn pickup I'm going to go get Marks to drive out there.
my Uncle Chris just radioed to me and said he's going to get in my dad's pickup because it's
Diesel and he can't drive out in the field with a gas pickup so it's very good that Arvid noticed
that immediately I'm sure he smelled burning I don't know if he saw a fire too but usually
when there's fire you move it to a summer fallow field so it can't be super bad and we don't have
the water truck headed over here but goodness that's always scary Uncle Chris also just made
it out to the field so what I'm doing is I'm just doing the north pass and the East Pass and
then I'm roding back down to the South Side to do another North pass and East Pass so that I don't
blow too much dust on them it is never good when you have a fire during Harvest time so
I'm really hoping everything will be okay and that not only stops one combine in our
operation it stops both combines because my dad has to take a look at it and assess what's
wrong so that's always super tough I wonder if this row is going the wrong way pretty
soon it will be because we're almost done with this field which makes it tough for me to stay
away from them with that oh wait no wonder it's going the wrong way I was headed the wrong way
okay this row is going the correct way idle down put the back in put the front in let them kind of
get going and start off at a low idle it's always easier on equipment rev it up press button number
two which is automatically set for the height of the ground you can reset that and change it
to if it's not correct just looking over there oh my goodness I hope it'll be okay that combine
I'm sure will be stopped for the rest of the day because we'll have to get parts for it it looks
like my Dad's headed back to his combine oh my Dad radioed to me and said because at lunchtime
he had problems with his auger and so he had to stop and read the book about it with the section
about the auger and he ended up getting it working again and so he said to me Kate I don't think I
could have gotten the auger working if I didn't have this very nice lightweight Kate's Ag shirt
so he's also wearing a Kate take shirt today so I thought that was the nicest thing ever
my dad's starting his combine up now what happened Dad hopefully he'll answer you want me to keep
going around or turn around like I did so I don't cause dust you can keep going around now
maybe it's all okay Arvid is getting back in the combine it's possible he's going to Road it out
I don't assume if there's fire then the combine is okay but maybe it is he might have smelt fire like
I did you get done with this field Mark you can put Arvid on that combine on your combine so that
combine is for sure broken down for the day do we have to take that header off Mark Uncle Chris is
asking my dad if we have to take the header off No that's something they kinda gotta do
thing is what it is that variable speed feeder house is screwing up
so this will be the fourth time this will be the fourth time that has happened I'm going
to go and pick up my old row and turn around here that I missed because I forgot about it
Darcy thinks that that they can leave the header on to fix it okay well we'll go blow
it all off and whatnot I'm going to call Josh and see if I can have somebody come out an look
now we're gonna have a John Deere mechanic come out I'm also going to clean up Arvid's row right
now I bet you that that was the burning I've been smelling for the past couple of days so I kind
of had a feeling that that would happen with that combine and I knew immediately what it was when it
happened because it's happened so many times can I head to the right direction Darcy you go to the
shop with it yes just go down the corner of the field and there's an approach ok thank you Darcy
that's always scary when you have fires especially near crops but it's really bad
if you're in a barley field because barley Burns super fast in fact we usually cut our
barley specific ways so that just in case we have a fire we're able to deal with it yeah
so the swather broke down kind of but I guess Austin can keep going he's got something digging
in the ground I'm not super familiar with the swather so I'm not sure exactly what
they're talking about you can't hurt that metal plate do we get another nylon thing
we only have like five passes left of this field and then my dad's gonna go take a look
at that combine get in touch with the John Deere mechanic and see if we can get it up and running
pretty soon these must all be down rows now the one to the right is a row headed north or headed
south for me I think I don't know what direction this row is headed actually so now it looks like
it's from this end it looks like it's the wrong way now I have no idea this is weird so I'll
set my header down and see if it's the right direction Yep this is the right direction for
this row anyway but then the next row looks like it's an up row so that's a little bit
strange it's always weird with the swaths once you get to the center of the field which is the
end Austin where did you do with that old worn out chain that came off that other grain loader
um I think it's on the floorboard or it's in that side compartment that's usually my dad over here
my dad also put my Kate's Ag flag on my combine today so I'll have to show it to you
