After a good bit of waiting around for them to ripen, the oats were harvested yesterday with the farm's combine. Farmer Jeremy said he was impressed with the quality of the oats, though the quantity was slightly below what he expected.
If the weather stays cool next week (cool, at least by August standards), the farmers might start plowing the recently harvested oat field with the draft horses. This would be an earlier start to fall plowing than usual.
As Farmer Ian remarked at the farmer's meeting this morning, "We might even have fit horses by the plowing match."
