Mark typically how late can you combine? I've never combined my own crop in november but I sure hope to now.. In 96 we combined till november 14 for neighbors before snow was too deep. Today snow is too deep but hopefully it melts. Usually everyone finishes by middle of october anyway. This year is a weird one

Couple more days and a lot of people will be done here. oh there is always the regulars who are only half done now but hard to feel sorry for someone when you are putting your drill away and they are taking theirs out.
Combined more in November than October. Went till 4am one nite on the canola swaths because we could. Haven't done that for years and prefer not to again. This is one for the record books and one i'm glad to forget.
Almost got all my nh3 on , just the acres that we just combined are too froze so spring it 'll be.

Hope you all get done soon and be safe
Glen
