Daryl and I had some errands to run after work and of course since we were in town we decided to grab some supper. So about the time that we got home tonight, it was pretty dark outside. It seems to be getting dark so early any more and I sure wish we could go back to summer again!
But that’s not going to happen and with it raining all night last night and pretty much all day today the corn that was left on the grain wagons had got pretty wet. So Daryl decided when we got home tonight to set up the auger for the dryer bin and unload the corn in it. The corn had set out last night and with over 2 1/2 inches of rain, you can say that it probably needed to be dried down some. I was upstairs tonight and all of a sudden you can hear a noise and I just knew that it’s the bin starting up. Now I’m sure that this really isn’t a good sound to any farmer (well unless you’re having trouble starting the dryer!!) But it’s the sound of money literally burning up with the fuel that’s heating the corn that’s drying in the bin. But to me? Well, it’s kind of like the washer or dryer going when you are in the house. There’s just something kind of comforting about it. Well that is until we get the fuel bill!
