Wheatfield 3/4 mile east of my house a few days before harvest.

Closer view of same field.

On down the road a ways in the sandhills -
native grass that's never been turned.

Evening storms threaten to bring hail that could ruin the wheat before it's cut.
This storm heads northeast over my house.

Same evening, this view from the wheatfield west of my house.

First field, first day of wheat harvest, June 26, 2001.
The grain cart driver gets ready to follow the combine.

Perfect harvesting weather.

Storm coming from the southwest toward half-harvested wheatfield.
It rained - but never hailed  - on the wheat three evenings in a row.
No damage done - just slowed up cutting time the next mornings.
