Precious memories of the Kansas wheat harvest as time spins ever onward

Each year, Kansas farmers go out to harvest their wheat crops. (Jill Hummels for Kansas Reflector) My high school class from South Haven has a group text where we share things going all the way back to a time when the world was so different than is the case today. Yes, that was longer ago than all of us probably want to admit, and my classmates and I have certainly been around the blocks of life between then, and now. I am often reminded of a classic Jim Croce song, 'Photographs and Memories,' when I think of our group. Recently, one of my classmates posted that he was going to retire from farming and that this would be his last wheat harvest. I remarked that the moment was most likely going to be bittersweet. His decision caused me to think about some of the things that shape us and guide us through the inevitable challenges of life. When the time came for me to go to college (the University of Kansas), and then on to law school, leading up to the start of my career as a Wall Street lawyer and investment banker, I made a vow to my parents. I promised that in addition to normal periodic visits for the various holidays during the year, I would always return for the wheat harvest. And so I did. One day, it was the pinstriped suit in New York. The next day it was overalls and a John Deere cap. I spent that time on a John Deere model 95 combine with a 16 foot header. Air conditioned? Of course — there was nothing like that 20 mph hot wind out of the southwest coating me with chaff. GPS guidance? Hell, yes. My left eye and my right eye could keep a pretty straight line in our fields on the family farm. We harvested around 50 acres on a good day, and my dad would take the wheat to the elevator in Rome with his 1950 Chevy truck, filled to the gills with about 200 bushels. None of this was work. It was pure joy. My colleagues at the law firm no doubt wondered why on God's green earth I would want to leave a climate-controlled office, and a pretty comfortable lifestyle, for the heat and dust of a Kansas wheat field. The answer was simple. It was coming home. Those memories will remain with me forever. Now, we harvest wheat fields on other farms that stretch to the horizon, and then some. Now, we sit in air-conditioned cabs and use GPS mapping to guide us through the fields. But what remains unchanged is the connection to the land. It is a source of comfort, especially in troubled times. There are some lines in a great Van Morrison song, 'Someone Like You,' where he talks about being 'up and down the highway in all kinds of foreign lands,' and being 'all around the world marching to the beat of a different drum.' Those words fit me pretty well. That said, my heart has always been in those Kansas wheat fields, and they help me to have a perspective on today's world. That connection to the land is a bond that will never be broken. Ben Palen is a Kansas native and a fifth-generation farmer and agriculture consultant in Colorado and Kansas.

CWG Live updates: A few showers today. Trending hotter through midweek with some smoke.

Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: A few scattered showers and a rumble of thunder remain possible early this morning. Heading for highs around 80 to 85 this afternoon with the chance of an isolated shower or storm, mainly south and southeast of D.C. What's next? Mostly sunny Wednesday and Thursday, but a smoky haze returns. Warming to near 90 by Thursday, then shower and storm chances return by the weekend. Today's daily digit — 6/10: Early clouds and a shower give way to at least partial sunshine and average warmth. Decreasing humidity this afternoon, with just a stray storm. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Tuesday): Mostly cloudy and rather muggy with a few scattered showers possible, maybe a rumble of thunder, early this morning. Skies turn partly sunny by afternoon with highs around 80 to 85. Decreasing humidity this afternoon, but an isolated gusty shower or storm could still pop up, mainly south and southeast of D.C. Confidence: Medium Tonight: Smoke from Canadian wildfires builds back into our region this evening. Otherwise partly cloudy evening skies trend mostly clear overnight as humidity continues to decrease. Evening 70s fall back to late-night lows in the 60s with light winds from the west and northwest. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Wednesday): The smoke is back, so our mostly sunny skies should have a haze-filtered flavor again as highs range through the mid-80s. Humidity is low with dew points down in the comfortable 50s. Winds are light from the west at around 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: After a potentially smoky-red sunset, a haze may continue to persist amid otherwise mostly clear skies. Evening temperatures drop through the 70s on their way to lows in the comfortable 60s. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Thursday may be our hottest day of the week and of the season so far. Highs have a chance to reach 90 for the first time, perhaps into the low 90s. However, we could stall in the upper 80s if skies are still smoky. Either way, humidity ticks up into the moderate range with dew points in the 60s. Partly cloudy Thursday night with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium Friday may bring increasing clouds at some point during the day. We could get to near 90 again, or we may pick up some onshore breezes that hold highs back in the mid- to upper 80s. Otherwise it is moderately muggy with a few late-afternoon or evening thunderstorms possible. Partly cloudy Friday night as lows drop to the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium The weekend remains a challenging forecast with mostly cloudy skies and potential for scattered showers and storms both days. It could end up like this past weekend, with a decent amount of dry time mixed with rainier periods. Highs could be anywhere from the 70s to mid-80s depending on the position of a cold front. Moderate humidity helps keep Saturday night lows up in the mid- to upper 60s. Confidence: Low-Medium Shower and storm chances look to continue into at least early next week. Temperatures look to start on the cooler-than-normal side before possibly making another run near 90 later in the week.
