       The backup big auger is at the shop for a grease job and the
       replacement of the hand winch system for the swing out with an
       electric one. Yay!

       Harvesting peas. This combine later had a siezed fan belt
       bearing which took it out of action. I got to drive a couple of
       hours for parts, and the New Holland dealer messed up the order.

       The peas are going in the hopper. This is what it's all about.

       The pic I took while standing in front of the "don't stand here
       while the combine is in motion" sticker.  :P

       Combine number 2, operated by my cousin.

       As the sun set, the peas became tough (damp) and wouldn't feed
       through the header properly. The operator has to pull out the
       clogged material by hand. It pretty much sucks when this
       happens. They shut it down for the day shortly after this shot
       was taken.

       Looks like you let the peas pretty much dry on the stem, yes?

       They let them dry as much as they can, and then they are sprayed
       with a desiccant to finish the process. The trade name of the
       chemical bro used this year is called Heat. I don't remember the
       scientific name of the chemical. He said it didn't work as well
       as whatever he used last year. He won't be using it again.

       They are sold for human consumption or animal feed, depending on
       the grade. India used to be a big market for Canadian peas, but
       there's some kind of trade dispute going on right now. They used
       to bring $10/bushel, but since India backed out they are
       bringing around $7. Bro says he may not grow them next year
       because at $7 they're not worth the extra chemical expense and
       hassle.

       I'm not a pea shooter expert, but I'd say they are. They are
       hard as rocks by the time they are dry enough to harvest. These
       peas were testing at 15.6% moisture when these pics were taken.
