[AT] another harvest picture/Dust

[Gene Dotson]

    John;
    I was cutting beans one night with about a 3 mile per hour wind. Going 
with the wind, the dust would get so thick that I couldn't see at all. 
Finally started dead heading to the downwind side and cut facing into the 
wind. This worked and I was able to finish the field that night.

                        Gene
