Corn Cutting

Can you see me in the passengers seat. I actually got to ride without 3 boys in the cab with me. The corn looks pretty good from this view.

Fill the combine, empty into the grain truck, drive to corn dump yard, drive home and start over. We filled the grain truck 8 times. Totaling 7 bushels of 4,000. Not too bad on 19.7 acres.

Look, I'm still in the combine. Probably because the boys are on top of the house roof taking pictures.

We knew it probably wasn't smart for us to think we could do it ourselves. So, we hire the crew of Rick Reber. He sent four of his employees from Utah. They began at 8:30 am and had the entire floor poured by 2:00pm that afternoon. Well worth the money. We actually paid for their fuel, 3 hotel rooms and their food and we still saved $1000. The project turned out great.

They knew exactly what they were doing, nothing was said and they all just went to work. We could tell they have worked together for a long time.

They went over the floor twice. It is very smooth. Hope there is no low spots.

Doesn't it look great?

Russell rented a concrete cutter the next morning from Home Depot. The grooves were very straight.

Now just waiting for the rain that afternoon to see if there would be any low spots. After the rain, to our surprise not one puddle except for the corner where the drain is located, we wanted that spot a little lower.
