We are just about to wrap up potato harvest. We planned to finish yesterday, but we have been having major break downs causing hours of no digging. So frustrating! It seems like the equipment just gets as tired as the farmers! We are also having a bumper crop as you can see, so it takes longer to roll through so many potatoes. Ryan has been home one night this week, he is just to tired to drive, but thankfully he can stay at his Mom’s house and not have to get up early and drive down.
So with potatoes wrapping up that means sugar beets are getting in full swing. Ryan keeps having to stay on with the potato crew though because of all the breakdowns. Thankfully the Arco crew has finished digging potatoes so Bobby is in a beet digger. It will go much faster once they are both going and have all of the trucks too.
We have been surviving really well, not lonely at all, until this week. Harvest is great for about 6 weeks, much time after that just seems like torture! Shannon watched the little kids yesterday so I could ride with Ryan, which was nice. Hopefully we can spend some time riding around with him this weekend. November 1st cant come quick enough!
