The Oregon wheat harvest has begun!

These photos are a bit west of Wilsonville, where we’re staying. The field is flat, and there were three combines working it. In The Dalles, where we were last year, the fields slanted as much as 30 degrees. The combines in The Dalles had tilting platforms, so the wheels followed the contours of the fields while the operator’s station remained relatively upright.

Some farmers in Oregon harvest as much as 18,000 acres.
