    We harvest anywhere between 2500 and 3000 acres of wheat each year. Our production has grown over the years and have gone from 2 ten-wheeler trucks and one bob-tail truck to 3 semis….That is MY job! I get to drive all 3 semis and unload either at the local elevator, or to our own storage bins. I also help with sorting grain tickets and keeping track of bushels being put in the bins. To be honest…I wouldn’t want any other job at harvest time!!! :o)

    Growing up I drove the tractor and grain cart and also packed lunches for the family in the field and went to get parts. I still help my folks with harvest sometimes, but am waiting on the day when my husband and I can have our own harvests on our own farm!

    I drove truck and tractor for my dad as a teenager. I only ran into the side of the elevator once!

    I cook for the crew (up to 12 people some days), usually meal in the house at noon and supper in the field in the evening. I also help move from field to field, run for parts and keep track of grain tickets. The past three years I’ve babysat my grandson while my daughter drives grain cart — when he isn’t riding with the guys in the combines.

      I too cook for a large havest crew. I run out of ideas for meals. What kind of things do you prepare?

    If you are married to a custom harvester, you never know what your job will be! I have driven semi’s, combines, parts runner, cook, fuel runs, pay bills, and numerous other things. You do whatever it takes to make your business successful. It is a job that fulfills my summer with new people and new surroundings. I never dreamed as a little girl that this is how it would be, but wouldn’t trade it for the world.

    I mainly ran our combine this year, but I run trucks and grain buggy’s too. We are located in central Texas.

    The “fireman”. Running around and “putting out fires”. AKA run the show and fix things.

    I am a 7-12 Ag. Instructor during the school year and I drive truck for my wife’s dad and uncle during the summer. This is the second summer I have done this. It provides a great break from teaching and “real world” experience to take back to the classroom!

    I grew up throwing bales as Dad was out in the field with grandpa and Mom was in charge of bringing us the bales and helping lead us tossing them! Great family bonding!

    I do a little bit of everything from working on the equipment, to driving a truck to driving the grain cart. I love the harvest time.
