Harvest 2011

Harvest started on T-T Ranch yesterday, and I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I know that seems a little far fetched, but, in my opinion, the first day of the harvest season should be considered a holiday. It’s the day that marks the end of a growing season, and is what farmers strive for all year. It isn’t easy, in fact some days it would seem easier to throw in the towel, but once again farmers show their dedication and get the job done. Despite the break downs, poor quality, and rain delays, they are out their making sure the crop gets harvested and in the bin. In the coming weeks, if I’m not at work at RRFN, you can bet I’m in the cab of the combine or in the scale room of the elevator. Call me a fanatic, call me weird, call me whatever you want, but I’m a farm kid and I wouldn’t want it any other way!
