This happened!Thankfully both combines were in the same field and I finished up for the year.On thanksgiving day I thought back on my year and how blessed I was.This has been without a doubt the best custom harvest year I have had.Me and my father took the two old Fords over approx 2500 acres of corn,wheat,rye,soybeans,and sorghum with very few breakdowns and finished up the year WAAAAAY ahead of time.This time last year we were just starting beans and sorghum and finished the last field of sorghum on jan 20.Last year I booked 1000 acres of wheat to cut and have already passed that mark for next year with people calling everyday.I got a feeling that come the end of May our local elevators will be backed up to the next time zone trying to unload wheat--Wheat is giong on every piece of ground people can find around here.I also do heavy equipment work when combining is not in season and would be starving to death if I had to depend on it right now,maybe three calls since April.My father told me the other day that never in a million years would he have ever thought his son and himself would be making a living custom cutting with two old Ford combines 35 years after he bought one new.All the new paint in the world can't make you feel that good,I am truly blessed!
