Alva Harvest 2010

I would like to thank the following people for allowing me to come in and photograph them while they were busy getting the wheat harvested: my cousin Greg Baker and his family and crew, Chris Bouziden and his crew, and Mike and Marty Koppitz. Most of all, I want to thank my dad for taking me around to all the places I needed in order to be able to photograph this harvest.

This semi loaded with wheat pulls up to the scale to get weighed and test for moisture. The moisture content of the grain has to be below a certain level or the elevator won't take it. Too much moisture in the wheat and it can go bad while sitting in the elevators or being stored elsewhere.
