Just in Time for Wheat Harvest at Janell and Gary's

We stopped in to visit Janell and
Gary.
Seems it is Harvest Season.
Pictured is the Combine that harvests the wheat. Both Gary and his grandson Willson both were cutting the wheat in this field.

. This is a direct quote from Janell.

"The "bar" in front is called the combine header. Inside the header the thing that goes around is the auger and there are lots of small knives on the front bottom edge of the header, called a cycle, that cuts the grain off.  The reel pushes it into the header, the auger takes it all to the center and whooosh, it is gone inside the combine. It still amazes me how it all gets separated in there"

The wheat gets separated from the straw. The straw is dumped out the back end of the combine. The wheat is stored in a bin just  behind the driver cab of the combine. This long arm facilitates the transfer of the wheat from the combine to the truck.

Luke and Debbie (Janell and Gary's daughter and son-in-law take harvesting seriously. Can't own too many trucks.

Grain Storage in Reuben. This is where Luke takes his wheat after the combine process.

This is farm country here in Reubens Idaho.

This is Luke's private  storage. I guess Barley is stored here.

Big round hay bales. These are about 5  feet tall and weigh from 400 plus  lbs. I understand weight depends on the moisture content and size.

This is the contraption that makes big round hay bales. You drive alone and scoop up the hay somehow and it rolls it into a giant roll and spits it out the back.
Not being a farm person, I have no idea how all this works.
