Wheat Harvest

The wheat harvest is done on the Dyk farm. Dad had 148 acres and I had 335. We finished last night about 6:00 PM.

My sprayer troubles turned out to be a bad alternator and I think the battery in the water pickup is shot. I tried everything from cleaning cables and battery posts to boosting and it won't do anything but make clicking noises. I better throw the battery on the charger for a while and then check it with a volt meter. I wanted to get spraying so I just quit messing with it and went spraying. When I needed water I just drove to the yard. As Betty said I'm spraying east of the house which is less than a quarter mile away. I've got just under 150 acres left to spray.

Well, that's it for now. Duane
