Went for a ride in a header yesterday afternoon. That was quite an experience and very interesting. It is amazing that only the heads of the grain gets pulled out or of and thrown into the grainhopper. Went around the paddock a few times, while John and Cheryl went and got a couple of utes for the men to go home in after they finished. After every round the hopper was full and was blown into a field bin, they hold approx 24 tonne. When that is full it gets loaded into a truck and then taken to the silo and then into a ship to go overseas. The grain we were cutting yesterday was barley. Ian sometimes works thru till late at night, depending on the weather. But last night it became too cold and he could not strip anymore. It was very interesting.
Today we went for a drive to Yorktown and Edithburg, nice little towns, but not much there, so we came home and John went crabbing, caught one..... a blue swimmer, so he will cook that one after. But he will go out later and hopefully catch some more.
