It seems to be a long harvest this year, probably due to cool damp weather arriving shortly after the harvest started. The fields of cereals close to our home were harvested over 3 weeks ago, but others is the area still have standing wheat. These are the straw bales that kept up late one night, as the lights and noise from the baling machine continued until midnight. We may have been disturbed for an hour or so, but at least this field was reduced to stubble before the cooler weather.
