Record Rain, Record Harvest
For those who've inquired about the goings on down at my family farm, they did get the wheat in. The combines, RVs, flatbed trailers, trucks and assorted vehicles packed up and moved on up the road Sunday. It took a good sized crew two days from sunup to midnight to cut about 800 acres of gorgeous, lush bumper winter wheat just north of Gruver in Hansford County, Texas. 40 bushels an acre. Yes, you heard right. Dryland wheat brought in 40 an acre. Most irrigated wheat doesn't do so well. Some years nature smiles -- and you get lucky.
