Zeorian Harvesting finished the last acre of the 2012 wheat harvest last night. After a high-five and a “good job”, Jim and I looked at each other and smiled. Another year complete!
The past 110 days have revolved completely around wheat and being on the road. Today, the harvest letdown will creep in and continue to eat at me until everything is back home and real life begins again. It’ll be SO GOOD to be reunited with the kids but I’m not looking forward to being home. Home, right now, means routine, schedule, alarm clocks and the work of getting back to normal. The work of stepping back into the real world will involve chasing spiders and bugs from our house, unloading the cottage, deep cleaning the cottage (inside & out), and pulling a horrible amount of weeds. Ugh! Plus being thrown right back into the needs of school, church and any outside pulls.
The next several days for us will involve taking time to clean equipment and getting it road ready for its 1100 mile drive home.
I was asked by the gals at the Faces of Agriculture blog to tell our story. I am honored to be able to put the custom harvesting industry in the spotlight! Thank you , Faces of Agriculture, for helping tell the story of American agriculture and where our food comes from!
