I combined some soybeans yesterday and now here I sit waiting for a truck to haul the beans to the elevator. The grain carts are full and the combine is full and my harvesting is at a standstill. Am I alone in this problem or do others have the same thing happen to them?
The truckers promise a truck for tomorrow but that means I can only sit on my hands until then. I had thought about buying another grain cart but the investment of $8,000 to $10,000 seems to much to spend on something I would use for only a few weeks. I have even considered buying my own truck but that would mean that I would be spending several hours hauling instead of harvesting and that would not be much help as I am my only helper.
Well, I guess I will just sit back and wait and be thankful that I have a good crop. Happy farming.
