AMBER WAVES OF GRAIN




the time is quickly approaching to harvest our first crop of winter wheat on the elmer farm. we have 10 acres planted and spencer is excited at how well it has grown. the winter wheat always did well in the intervale on the rich river bottom soils. it is good to know that we can have a great harvest here too. however... we have to get the combine started and running. we didn't use it last year. the last time we ran it was in december of 2006 when spencer drove it from burlington to middlebury... a 5 hour adventure involving bill smith, jesse guertin, ben dana and another john deere.
