{Harvest}



This was a very successful year for the Stokes Farming Operations. No major breakdowns except for the one I caused.....Oops! Jack was gone for the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Geisler to the Ozarks...It was our first weekend with out him at home. The weather was beauitful. The Stokes Farming Operation was getting underway and I was going to help this year like a big girl. So, I was given the duty of driving the grain cart. I had never drove the tractor with the grain cart attached and was trying to be a little to helpful and unload the grain cart by myself into the wagons and hit the Auger on the back of the wagons when I pulled around....Needless to say there was a lot of crying. I felt so bad, but David and Leo were pretty undertanding and didn't even yell at me. I learned a big lesson...But, luckly our friend JWC knows how to weld and came to our resecure of Sunday. He cut out the area and then welded a new piece in place. Now we just need some Kinze blue paint and it will be good as new. Otherwise, Daivd is very happy with our new combine....He loved the yield monitor. We actually feel like real farmers now. We feel very blessed to have had such a great crop this year. Thank you mother nature.
