Our
field is rather pretty with the clouds in the background. The
field is starting to have a reddish tinge, don’t you think. That’s
normal for this variety to have a reddish color. We had more than
an inch of rain over the weekend and the weather is almost
down-right cold today. It is suppose to be only 70ºF today and
the week is suppose to be cooler than normal. That will be great
for our wheat crop.

Man,
it’s windy. Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, the wheat
heads are blurred because of the wind. The leaves still look
healthy. Let’s take a look at a kernel.

This
kernel is more plump than the kernel we looked at last week. Last
week the kernel was angular and skinny. There’s some material in
the kernel now–that’s why it is starting to become more plump
or rounded. This kernel is about 11 or 12 days old. |
