In this photo Harrison (left) and Ray pose with a new combine platform trailer. Since we had some time and also the necessity, we decided to go ahead and build one ourselves in the shop. It is painted yellow now and turned out fantastic, and it saved me a couple thousand bucks over buying a new one from a dealership.With any luck at all it will start to really heat up and bring the rice to harvest faster. As it sits now I think September 27 might be the day we start. That’s 15 days later than last year, 15 fewer days to harvest in before the weather could get nasty in November.
