[AT] another harvest picture

[Chuck Bealke]

Y'all.

Somehow escaped barley combining, as we used to plow ours under for use
as green manure.  But I sure remember spitting dirt for a day after combining
windrowed red clover seed pulling an AC 66 (with a B engine) with a Farmall Super H. 
It's a good idea to wash up a bit after a hot afternoon of that, but you may never be able 
really clean any leather wallet you forget and left in your pocket without covering it 
first with a plastic bag.
