Harvest and Weather or Oil and Water

Harvest and Weather are not cooperating. I live in Iowa, and the weather is not harvest weather. We have had rain before and during the beginning of soybean harvest, and has continued right into Corn harvest along with wind, and much colder temperatures. We even got our first snow last weekend. Like we all have heard before,"It's Iowa, wait an hour it will change." I realize all of the surrounding states are in the same boat. We still have some soybeans yet to combine, and a lot of corn.
I do have a lot of respect and appreciation for our farmers. Look at all they have to face every day 365 days a year. Weather they have no control over, machinery cost, high Fuel price's, and huge cost to put the seed in the ground. In comparison, it would be like me putting my weekly pay check out in the yard and hoping the wind wouldn't blow it away or the rain rot the paper, or the sun burn it up. Then go out in the fall and pick it up before the snow covers it up.
I sometimes think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I love my weekends so I can spend my day outside, and do all kinds of yard work. As I drive down the highways and see our Farmers out in the field doing what needs to be done, I wish it was me out there. Then I think of all the other expense,and uncontrolable weather. I love my job, think I will stay on my side of the fence. I do help my neighbors in the spring, and fall, thats good enough for me. Maybe just a weekend farmer, but a happy one. Hope everyones fall is safe.
