The neighborhood was filled with machinery sounds the last few days from combines harvesting soybeans and corn and tractors picking corn as farmers try to get the crops in before the rain moves back in.

The cool, wet fall did not help the crops to dry down and during this corn harvest season, there are long lines at the corn drying facilities and even causing some propane shortages. Some farmers who can feed ground cob corn to livestock may pick the ears and crib it to allow the moisture content to lower for storage.

If the weather forecast is right, we will have three warmer and most sunny days so I’m sure the farmers will be trying to get their crops in. The non-raining days are probably appreciated by those who don’t have a nice warm and dry tractor cab like this farmer picking corn with horses.

The leaves rustling in the wind, a flock of geese hooking overhead and machinery hard at work were all heard when I stepped outside this morning. The combines and tractors were busy bringing in the soybeans and corn before the snow.
