Windsday

     Have I already used that title? I can't remember... The pun doesn't work quite so well on a Thursday, but there it is anyhow.

     Nevertheless it is a very windy day. This happens a lot in Autumn, and the risk of losing topsoil is a real one.

     So farmers mostly stick to jobs that won't raise much dust, like whipping alfalfa...

     Combining field corn... (When you combine corn you're only after the kernels, they will most likely become cattle feed. The rest of the plant returns to the soil.

     Or stacking hay. Did I mention that the wind is also quite chilly? It's nice to have a heated cab with a cup holder for coffee on such days.
     It's best to keep out of the wind on days like this (you'll catch something) so I would advise any locals to do just that. For those of you who are away from places with these cold winds: How about inviting the rest of us over.
