Looking out across the fields there is always a shimmer of heat, but hot weather is good for the harvest, and neces sary, for the wheat does not thresh out easily, or cut as well when weather is cold or damp. The farmer cuts the wheat with one eye on crops and machines, and the other on the sky, watching for the unwanted clouds and storms. The harvest goes on, day after day. The routine is disturbed only by breakdowns and weather. The crew gets tired, and tempers get short as the work goes on. ..but they are still a learn. Urgent! Get the crop in. ..all else can wait! Eastern Oregon is summer fallow country. This means only half the acres are seeded to crops each year. The other half is plowed in the spring and lies "fallow". This half of the farm is kept clean of weeds which would use the moisture needed for next year's crop. The land is "weeded" as often as neces sary.:. another costly opera tion. Good rains or moisture in the summerfallow means going over the unseeded land many times to keep it weed free. Fertilizer is applied to the summerfallow land, so it is ready for the seed in fall. The yearly harvest is the product of two years work by the farmer.
