Finishing the last 10 acres and have the boy cutting it. I am running the table and he is on top of the world. He's going to cover 20 acres to get the ten but its funny as hell. I am going to GPS map this next time. He's pretty good with a swath but this is a new game. This year has been a bitch working full time and harvesting but there are now 2 acres left and I am loving farming/parenting today. He's definately NOT seeding in the spring though.

Rookie drivers! I had a nephew from the big city here when we were cutting barley a few years ago. He couldn't understand why the side of the standing grain was not perfectly straight. So I let him have a turn in the driver's seat for a while.
"I'm gonna straighten this out", he said. It wasn't too long until he had curves and jogs in the barley that were almost enough to make ya dizzy.
Glad to hear that things are getting wrapped up out there.

As relayed to me, a neighbour's two boys (10 and 6) last fall were driving the loaded tractor-grain cart down the municipal road when approached by the story teller's vehicle. Claims the head of the 10 year old was barely above tbe steering wheel, and the 6 year old was operating the foot pedals. He damn near rolled the cart in the ditch on moving over. Cute is cute, and they all need to learn, but keep those kids on a short leash.

It is not only operating equipment.
Todays equipment starts up with the flick of a switch. Ussually bright coloured and easily accessable. Real eye catcher for young unattended child.
If you are working on machinery and leave child in unit, where they are safe, you are putting your life in their enquiring minds.
Don't trust anyones safety or life to computor wiring.

A friend of ours has a 6 yr old that has been known to move the combine around the yard. Unfortunately as their confidence builds, they will start doing it without dad in the cab. Please be careful guys...... its cute now, but its an injured kid, or worse yet a casualty of the worst kind.
Our kids will try to do everything we do, so Play Safe.
