Almost exactly a year ago today, we drove up through our favourite swamp and came to the large fields of wheat that needed harvesting. August is the month for harvesting wheat around here. Some farmers have their own equipment, but custom crews also move though the province following the ripe grain. Not many farmers have their own grain trucks.
but we could see this big combine working at the back of the farm.
What stopped us was a tractor and its grain cart being emptied into the big grain truck.
That wheat was just pouring out of the chute, filling up the grain truck.
We didn't mind waiting and soon the tractor and its grain cart were headed back down the field. The whole episode drew us in and made us feel part of the local community for a moment. A wave to the truck driver, and we were on our way.
