Very busy last couple of days getting well into harvest rhythm now. We are gradually filling out own storage system and have started to deliver some wheat into Graincorp at Curlewis to make more room. The Durum is yielding quite well although also quite variably. Some of the blocks I expected to be very good have been considerably under the average so far. I have a feeling that we may have had more frost damage than first realised as it seems to be directly correlated to elevation.
Was able to take some nice photos this evening as the three headers lined up to open up a new block. The picures were taken from on top of the hill behind Pine Cliff and I must say that as I stood there with a nice cool breeze watching the sun go down and the and the headers move through the crop I had a real "why would you do any thing else" moment.
In the photo below you can see the dust trailing from the headers towards our silo complex. The hill in the background is Mullaley Mountain.
