Matt Gray, 28, steers one of his family’s combines through piles of swath. Overlooking it from his air-conditioned cockpit, he watches as loose straw is pulled up the front of the combine and eaten by the machine.
Behind him, the barley pours out the other side of the combine, digested into the form of a grain seed.
Harvest season has started for farmers in Westman, and Gray’s family farm in Erickson kicked off this week. The family is pushing to get barley in during a patch of perfect weather.
It looks like it’s going to be a good harvest year. The rains in August pulled the crop together, and dry weather late in the month has allowed the family to harvest at the right time.
