In Enid the wheat harvest is wrapping up for 2011. Though yields were a little higher than expected they were still well below normal. The good news is that the price of wheat is at record levels so it still should be a decent year.
Harvest was especially fun this year. Zachary is now getting old enough to experience it first hand. He enjoyed his first combine ride and got to watch the tractor and wheat trucks that our custom harvesters brought. He also walked around in the unharvested wheat. He seemed to have a ball. Zachary represents the 6th generation of Miller to participate in a harvest on our farm land near Enid.
It took just over a week for the harvesters to complete the job. We were only able to go over for one day but as always harvest was memorable. The wheat harvest of 2011 is over but the process of preparing for the next harvest begins.
