Rain Rain-Harvest Started-But Barely

We did get started harvesting last week and got about 13 acres done-corn was still a little wet. I had hoped to go this week but the picture below says it all.







When it does dry up enough to get back in the field we have about 30 acres of early corn left to finish and then will move to beans-which will undoubtedly be ready by then. The 110 acres of beans should take about 2 days.
The later corn is still a little wet but by the time we finish beans it is probably as dry as it is going to get and we will just keep going. This cold forecast isn't going to dry things out very fast.
Here is one picure of the harvesting that we did last week-link at the bottom for more pics.
