Snapped a couple of pictures of the start of the wheat harvest Monday afternoon. We are starting about 2 weeks early due to the early hot temps and low rain fall. Wheat looks like 70 bushel plus wheat, but is making just over 50, which is also very good for dryland wheat in the middle of KS. Low test weights will probably be the norm due to early hot winds. My nephew was learning the ropes on the 6600 combine. It's his first year for driving it, although he spent a little time on our 95 last year. He had cancer at 10 years old. Luekemia and Lymphoma both. At one point he was not supposed to make it through the night. Although he withstood enough pain and meds to last a person their whole life, he did pull through and is considered cancer free at this time. He just turned 21. Good kid and willing to work. Anyhoo, the harvest has officially began.
