The snow we received in the middle of our fall harvest slowed us down a little bit, but once it warmed up and started to melt we were able to get back in the field. Once we got back in we were able to cut until we were done.

Hi y’all. Hope y’all are well. So we were stagnant for a few weeks. We have had several amounts of rain. We just can not catch a break. So far this fall harvest is a repeat of our summer harvest, the weather is not cooperating.
Holdrege, Nebraska—We just completed another harvest. It feels great to be home and it's time for a break from having to go to the field every day. Overall, we had a harvest run that was better than I ever expected.
Worthington, Minnesota—We couldn't be happier for a very blessed harvest season. Throughout wheat harvest and fall harvest we found great crops to harvest and saw yields that surpassed records in some areas.
Holdrege, Nebraska—It's another kind of busy at this time of year. Winding down from harvest is quite the change. Moving out of the camper, getting it winterized and then moving back into the house is a lot of work.
Worthington, Minnesota—The last week has seen many changes in our operation. We've said our goodbyes to most of the crew that's been with us this year, and meals are a little easier to make with fewer mouths to feed.
