When you see the yellow start to top the bin, you need to get the cart over to the combine before it runs on the ground.
The combine unloads the corn into the grain cart.
The tractor driver takes it to the truck at the edge of the field and offloads into the trailer. The tennis ball is to help some of us novices with poor depth perception line up with the trailer.
You work as late as you can, until the corn tests too wet or the elevator closes.
This picture was through the rear window of the tractor into the sunset. Looks like gold, huh?
and when you finish one field.....you go to the next one.

Your photos made me homesick for the farm. How well I remember harvest time and the rush to get everything done before the weather changed.
My favorite harvest was cutting corn for silage. I just love the smell of the freshly-cut silage, a mixture of sweetness from the corn and green from the stalk.
We never combined corn, but I helped with a grain harvest. The chaff and oats made me itch all over.
Praying that the farmers in your area can get all of their crops harvested without any breakdowns.
It is hard right now to imagine it being too wet. The drought goes on here.
I love your pictures and like that tennis ball idea.
And yes, it that sunset does look like gold, and beautiful
Thanks for the visit.
Have a great day.
