J&H Harvesting

A short summary of our past few days. We have machines in Vega, Texas/Wichita Falls,Texas/Garden City, Kansas and Kinsley, Kansas.

Guys down in Texas have run into sink holes of mud and green wheat. We have been going steady cutting some really great wheat in Kinsley and they only had 40 acres left in Garden City but it was too green to finish.

We were all but done in Kinsley and figuring out our game plan since we were going to be caught up to the crops. Started packing up campers and figuring out machines to be loaded and moved when we got a call for another 1,000 acres! What a great day, got the campers set up again and off we went to cut!

The boys in Vega ran into green so they loaded up and moved to Kinsley to help us out. Got a phone call late this afternoon from the hubby saying I was going to be feeding them as well tonight. Luckily, it all worked out perfectly and I had just enough to feed them too without having to make a mad dash to the store again!

The other guys ran into green with the last 40 like I said so they are heading back to us as well. Of course, they weren’t able to get back before dark with the combine so we will just have to get it tomorrow. As for me, I was able to feed, help move some equipment and get back in time to wash up bedding for the extras we have staying with us. All in all everything is great. Not too exciting here but when things work out for the best that’s always worth celebrating in this line of work!

I guess we did have a little excitement today. Our hired hand Samantha went out and rescued a baby bunny with a broken leg so the combine didn’t get it. She kept it safe in her can until they were done with the field then set it back down in its home. 💕
