The Potato Harvest

21C with some cloud and some sunny spells. Light breeze.

Maeve the Deerhound and I went for our walk after lunch.

In the field with the bridle path the potatoes were being harvested. There was a tractor towing the harvest machinery and a relay of two tractors taking the potatoes away to the farm. The potatoes are poured from a conveyor belt into boxes on a trailer towed by a tractor as the harvest machine is working.

In my blip the harvest machine is being reversed across the field before starting its next run and the tractor and trailer are racing to be in place when the potatoes start to flow. Usually they turn the machine at the end of a row and go back the other way.
