Harvest

EDIT: My dear brother informed me that he grew wheat this year and not barley. My deepest apologies to those who were misinformed. :P

The Hutterites were able to harvest Graham's wheat on Friday. This is was really the only photo I was able to get of the harvest and it was actually taken on Thursday. They were all ready to go then and did a couple rounds but the wheat was too wet so had to wait another day. Anyways, the crop is finally off and in the bins. And despite the hail damage earlier on this summer, the yield was better than expected.

Oh nice! I love farming pictures! =) How are things going with the farm in SK? Have you guys made any more decision as to who is moving there, etc?

I hope, when we move to SK, that I can find all kinds of things fresh from the farm. Like lots of yummy barley! =)

That's always good when you get a better crop than expected! how tall is the barley before it is cut?

Hmmm interesting. Whose place is that? I didn't grow any barely so it must not be my place. I didn't know you knew another Graham. :)

Well, before you chuckle too hard go back and read your first comment. What is barely? A different variety of barley? Haha.

You MAC people are all the same...*sigh*

Your keyboard must have been sticking when I was typing. PC's tend to do that.

You have a dyslexic keyboard...

Speaking of your wonderful MAAACCC...we brought it home last night. And, I miss my laptop! So far this one has only tried to shut off a couple times. Anyways, hurry up and bring it back. ;)
