Today is the day to show thanks for something or someone with a picture or post.
If I had a picture of each of you who faithfully read my blog, I would dedicate this post to you…all of you…with that picture!
I started this blog just a little more than a year ago not knowing what I was doing (I’m STILL learning) and wondering if this would be anything more than just a way to share my thoughts.
What I have come to realize is that there are people all over the world interested in the custom harvesting story! Within the past seven days, alone, people from 18 countries (besides the US of A) have visited “Nebraska Wheatie”. I. Am. In. Awe!
Because of this and because I have developed some great online relationships due to this adventure, I’d like to thank YOU – EACH of you! You give me the encouragement and desire to continue sharing what we do. I appreciate each and every “like” and comment. When I get more than 5 “likes”, I feel like I must have really touched SOMEONE in some way. It’s reinforcement for me to keep writing and keep taking pictures (even though my family sometimes get disgusted with me). So if you like something I’ve said or done, please let me know. I LOVE hearing from the people who are reading my words.
THANK YOU!
Thank you! Thank you for all you do for American Agriculture and the Wheat Harvesting Industry! Thank you for being a wonderful friend!
Thanks for your note, Pohney! Enjoy your trip and check back when you get home!
Your so welcome! And thank you for taking the time write all the posts! Thank you for answering all my many questions questions this past summer. You’ll never know how much it meant to me for you to answer all those questions, especially since we haven’t even met each other! Take care and be safe, Ethan
You are oh so very welcome, Ehan! I was glad to answer them for you. Hopefully it somewhat helped. One day, we will meet each other – if we ever get back to Hooker, OK. How’s fall harvest going for you?
That’s a day to look forward to. Well harvest was going great until Tuesday evening when my cousin, Cade, backed one graincart into another graincart by accident. It wasnt real major, were able to weld it up Wednesday morning. Now let me set the background for you so it makes more since. My dad farms with his brother and each of them take care of a specific area of the farm. One of my dad’s is harvesting. Well on Wednesday he went to pick up a “new to us” simi and therefor was gone. That left my cousins to run the harvest while my brother and I were in school (my cousins are homeschooled). So why we were at school they had an even bigger wreck. Sidney, was driving one of the three graincarts and was to close to Cory, who was driving one of the two combines, when Cory decided he needed to back up. To make a long story short he backed into one of the tractors with the combine and it broke the hood, radiators, and oil cooler. On the combine it just bent up the metal tailboard, which was fixed to keep going. Then one of the other tractors started leaking fuel and the service tech had to come fix it. There was a little while that we were down to 1 combine and 1 graincart. We were just all glad nobody was hurt, because equipment can be replaced. That brings me up to today. It was going all good until on the last round of the night something happened to the unloading auger on the combine I was driving. It broke the shear bolt. So I put a new one in and tried it, it broke again as soon as I turned the augar on. Then tried it one more time, but this time Dad suggested to engage at full throttle. Same thing. So a project got left for in the morning when there is light. How’s harvest going for you all?
Oh my, Ethan! That sounds like a couple of events and situations that it would be nice to be able to hit the rewind button! Goodness, what a series of unfortunate events! I’m sure it all happened to produce more patience in your dad and his brother 🙂 Hopefully, that will be the last bad things for the rest of the season! BE CAREFUL! As you said, machinery can be replaced….
Excited for you, Tracy. God has given you talents and you are sharing them—–world-wide!!! Keep up the good work!!! Does your family appreciate how “famous” you are???HA Blessings, Judeen
