Max has been spraying sunflowers for weeds, although they were trying to work out some problems with the computer system that regulates the amount it's spraying on Wednesday evening. He had finished those fields that were planted first and was trying to fix it before spraying the rest.
There were guys baling hay on Thursday also, Garry didn't know if they would be able to finish it in one day. Someone had some to bale and offered them half if they cut and baled it. Max said there was quite a good crop. They had also mowed all of Yana and Vova's alfalfa in gardens. I think they have nine now, so that will be baled up too.
Garry wasn't sure if they were putting in drip line when I talked to him Thursday evening, but he thought they might be. He said he hadn't seen Sasha Borchuk and even the lady at the store had commented that he hadn't been in to buy anything. He had worked on drip line last year. A couple guys walk behind the tractor unrolling it as it goes in the ground.
He had mowed the five hectares of wheat for silage that afternoon. He had Danil in the tractor with him for a couple hours. He's almost three now and really loves getting into Garry's car, and his favorite YouTube show is a Russian one called tractor. Garry said that Danil talked the whole time.
Max was chopping the silage already, they plan to disc it up and plant sunflowers tomorrow to get their double crop off to a good start with rain in the forecast for Friday night.
Normally he calls me when he gets up in the morning, sometime between 9:30 and 10:30 pm my time the night before, but no call tonight. We did talk around ten this morning while he was eating supper, before he went out to help Alona chase her chicks in and look to see if they had been laying drip line.
