Harvest has not gone exactly
smooth. It has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. We have not gone more
than two full days without a breakdown or delay. From the start, we had problems with the dryer, then two snouts on the combine bent. Then the
grain cart broke, then a tractor, then another tractor problem. Mark spent 5 days
in the field, then it rained delaying 3 days. Most recent the combine had
problems with a belt and a chain. I wish I could tell more specifics, but I
only get the most basic answer and to ask any more questions only upsets Mark
even more. It has not been a fun harvest. When things are running and running
well, things are good and he has been able to stop at home for a meal on
occasion. It is nice with all the field help this year. We have Mike, Cory, Tony, and Linde. Mark's dad has been running the combine most of the time. It gives Mark a chance to slip away for a brief
time. In all the busy chaos, Mark's phone seems to be contuinually at his ear. He has calls about Salford's. He is in deep. He has people interested in buying, some wanting custom field work in the fall, some ready to be picked up , some needing delivered. This photo is very typical of Mark. He doesn't ever not answer his phone. Harvest has not gone exactly
