Things really start hopping here at the farm once August rolls around.  The harvester has been dusted off and we are digging new potatoes almost every day.  (I often mull over the point of cleaning off the harvester since it immediately gets covered in dust again as soon as it hits the fields!)  Picking enough sweet corn to meet our orders is a daily job.  The corn stand is super busy as our at-the-door-customers come back time and time again to pick up fresh produce for dinner.  All the winter wheat has now been combined and trucked to the grain elevator much to the relief of our combine operator. He had been dreading the combining job due to all the wheat knocked down during the numerous storms this summer.  So from now until the harvest is completed in mid-October we will all be moving at top speed.  Who needs to sleep anyways?!  To see a video of the wheat being combined you can visit "A Combine In Action.”
