Harvesting Saskatchewan

After Silage was all done at Mesabi Ranches I jumped on a plane to join James in the next province over. The farm leased a large amount of land over in Torquay, Saskatchewan for cropping and they needed all the help they could get with harvesting. James had the job of driving one of the huge combine harvesters (it was an S680 with a 45ft front apparently.)  I went over to help with things like servicing the vehicles, making lunches and running errands but I also managed to get a bit of free time to work on my blog and hang out with James in the Harvester. August was a pretty large month,  James worked from 6:30 in the morning till 12pm most days. I'm fairly sure he was glad when it was all over.
