A busy day on the farm

We have been harvesting soybeans for a few days now.Had my camera in the field all day today, so decided to share a few
I am in the tractor pulling the grain cart my husbands empties the combine into.Multitasking as I must drive straight, at the same speed he is going, and take photos at the same time!
From the grain cart it gets dumped into the truck to be hauled to town to the elevator.
We had a gorgeous sunset tonight
then the day was topped off with the full moon

Pretty shots. On the 4th one did you use a filter to get the rays diverging from the sunset?

Great shots. we haven't started soy beans yet.
Was getting combine ready yesterday (changing out headers) cleaning etc) removed a broken bracket to weld n found 2 bad belts and a bad idler so off the the deere shop.
Returned with parts in hand and installed. started up and heard a terrible racket.
Had to remove upper and lower screens and found a broken shaker frame, was a royal pain to remove ( took 5 of us to remove,1 freind and 2 other local farmers came to see if we needed help) took 5 hrs to get it all out.
Know all about the pulling the grain cart and loading the trucks as that's my job ( our cart holds 1040 bushels of grain ).
At 60 lbs a bushel thats 62,400 lbs which fills a truck to its load limit here (1 truck got loaded with over 110,000 lbs of corn by accident gross weight truck and all.
Excellent job of driving and taking photos at the same time ,wish I could use the auto steer feature while catching the load.
