    wow, great overview and thanks for this! My wife and I noticed there are no water apparatus or irrigation sloughs for the fields. How are the crops watered throughout the summer?

    By early to mid July this field should be ready to be harvested. Some harvests can last up to two months and during that time we hope it doesn’t rain and it normally doesn’t. This is all dryland wheat and legumes, so its not irrigated but it is awfully dry and the yields are dependent upon the weather.

    @@TrevorStruthers Mahalo for getting back to me. Amazing how the roots chase the water table. This year is definitely a drought year. Seeing how low Lake Keechelus is this season is very concerning. I hope y'all have a good yield and the rotating crops will be ok. What will be next for planting?

    Shank Spacing 15 inches. However, they are using a shank that seeds two rows 4 inches apart and then they are on the shanks that are 15 inches apart. It is confusing but I think its like 11 inches.

    It was actually a toothed gear that a chain goes onto on the header. A sprocket was misaligned which caused the chain to strike on the metal of the header which caused sparks which lit the feederhousue on fire.

    If you guy's are talking about being able to understand each other on the radio, I have found that you DON'T want to use that piece of crap factory mic. Spend $60 to $80 on a decent mic from a truck stop or Amazon and it WILL make a world of difference. I had a buddy of mine prove it to me now I've got the whole company using good after market mics and we can understand each other !!
