Settling In

We are finally getting settled in and getting a few seeds processed. Izak and Caleb are really getting the hang of things, and yesterday we had them start on their own shift by them selves. They will be working the 3 PM to 3 AM shift and Barb and I will be working the 3 AM to 3 PM shift.
We only pick up seeds at the cannery three times a day, Noon, 6 PM and Midnight, so Jacob and Izak will make two runs a day, and I will make one.  Things are still running slow at the plant, so we have only made six trips in the first three days.  The cannery is doing a better job of giving us cleaner seeds than last year, so we have not had to use the cleaner yet.  Using the cleaner adds an hour delay to getting them on the dryer, but typically will shorten the time on the dryer by two to five hours, depending on how much pulp is in the seeds.

Of course, there is the typical waiting and watching time, so we all do our own thing.  You can see by the pictures that we are managing.
