#sponsored #JohnDeerePartner #soybeanharvest Paid partnership with John Deere- Day three or four of soybean harvest (we lost count) and the beans are drying faster than we can get to them. They were around 11% this morning, on a warm, breezy day.
Both combines started running hot. Mine was the same cooler issue from last year’s oil leak, and Dad’s turned out to be an air filter we should’ve blown out days ago. That one’s on me. The air compressor engine on the trailer wouldn’t start either, so Midwest Machinery came out to give us a hand. We still got about 300 acres done.
Also: an update on the grain bin project, Machine Sync unloading around corners, and an open question for anyone harvesting down south. How do you keep these things cool when it’s 100°?
