Getting our Harvest In

My dad and I tested the moisture of two different fields. Most farmers have special equipment that measures the level of moisture, and ideally, we want the level of moisture be to between 14 and 16%. Such a small range, but that's how it is. Before yesterday, I could drive anything but the combine, then my dad taught me to drive it. We really had no one else to do it, everybody else was doing something in the field. My grandpa was round baling, my brother was hauling grain, my dad was working on the house that we're building, and our hired help was milking the cows, so there was a lot going on. Now there is not one thing I don't know how to drive. I'm pretty proud of myself! The weather is looking pretty nice today, nice and sunny! Perfect weather to get a lot done. Unfortunately, I can't work in the field until around 6 tonight, since I have school this afternoon, I sure do wish I could skip school so I could help my dad get some more of the harvest in. Today, we are also harvesting the corn, so we had to hire some people with the right equipment to do that for us.
