Tomorrow is the first day of September. Today was the first day in months I didn't have to fight the breathtaking humidity on my jog. I have pumpkins on my front porch. The corn is turning, the nights are cooling and the farmers are preparing to reap the results of a summer spent toiling over their crop.
As a little ode to that hard work and the summer that is all but behind us, I'm posting some pictures from an almost chilly morning of irrigating with Tyler a couple of weeks ago. Not long after, the lawns of corn and soybeans began their transformation into golden maturity.
Tyler in action...or posing??
Golf clubs double as tools for opening and shutting the pipe gates - just takes a little 'tap, tap, tap'!
Ok, so the golf clubs aren't JUST for irrigating.
Each little stream sustains an entire row.
Pivot road = mud showers!
Oil in the motor makes the pivot go 'round.
Two weeks from starting to drop (ie, the ear itself will hang towards the ground).
Soybeans awaiting their turn for a drink from the pivot
