Late season rush is here. The guys have been working their equipment hard for the last 8 weeks and things are wearing out. It’s been a great season and it’s coming up on the end.

There’s a lot going on here anymore.

The belt is out of the harvester and repairs started. Straightening some rods and replacing a few others.

We’re pulling out a twin rod primary chain for repair today. It’s got some bent twin bars we are going to replace and reinstall the chain.

Ran out of the regular drive pulleys today. Converting a Weiss twin rod pickup belt drive shaft into a rubber pickup belt drive shaft.

Getting ready to replace an elevator belt and converting a desticker belt into a derockerbelt. Never a dull moment. We rebuilt a Thomas cart elevator on an emergency repair Saturday and put new wear plates in a Jackrabbit Stickjack too.

Our little patch of sweet corn is looking good! Theres silver queen in the front half that will be ready mid to late September. In the other half is yellow Bodacious that will ripen early to mid September.

I made all my deliveries today and all my pickups to. From the look of my load, I haven’t accomplished anything today. The good part is, all this stuff is headed to other places. I just have to get it home and send it back out.

Making deliveries and pickups today. Stops in Woodland, Arbuckle, Glenn, Chico, Gridley and Yuba City. Lots of items for lots of growers today.

Lots of goods going out to our growers this time of year!

Every day we are hustling getting order out to the field . Getting closer and closer till the big show starts .

We have a nice load of tree grapples headed for Yuba City today.

Customer appreciation day come see us .
