It's that time of year again
End of Spring season, the start of the Summer months - harvesting time - the paddocks are busy with farmers checking growth and moisture levels, and booking the contractors, the blokes and their machinery, and trucks aplenty to cart the grains to the silos and rail centres.
Wheat - soon ready for the harvesting machinery

One of the many machines seen across the paddocks

At a grain receiving centre in the next town we stopped at, I chatted to one of the operators about their side of the harvest - to be told that "yesterday we took 1000 tonnes of wheat, from one paddock on one farm and that paddock still has 1/3- to go until empty. They expect that farm to deliver 3,500 tonnes of wheat over 3-days of harvesting".
As always, feedback welcome

you're living upside down, and
you have harvest when we're look for our scarfs.
What else are you going to invent?
Light is free… capturing it is not!
