Ahhh...Harvest!!!

It is potato harvest here in Idaho, and there are tons of trucks driving up and down the road. My road is usually nice and quiet, but all I have seen for the last week are trucks, full of potatoes, heading towards different potato cellars in the area. I am helping my family with the 3rd crop of hay, which we are trying to finish before Wednesday, because it is supposed to snow. We are working like crazy! Adam has been loading me in the semi all day, and we just finished a pivot. Now, he is out in the baler, following my mom after she rakes on our last pivot of hay. We are really pushing, trying to get our hay in before the moisture comes. The potato farmers must be feeling the same way, because they are moving their tractors along in the fields. The schools let the kids out for two weeks for potato harvest up here, so there are tons of kids running around and driving trucks. So, you usually want to stay off the road during harvest, and if you have to be on the road, keep your distance from the trucks. Sometimes I wonder if the kids driving are even old enough to have driver's licences, because they can barely see over the dash. Anyway, it is a busy time right now for us farmers. Pray we get our hay in before it snows! Thanks!
