Morgan County, Colorado—This was our first year for our Brush job. We have been in touch with a harvester who retired from full- time harvesting after last season, and his farmers were needing a new harvester. This job as well as our first Texas job...

Morgan County, Colorado—As if wheat harvest weren't beautiful enough, the sights you see on the way to or at the field are sometimes just as spectacular. This plaque I discovered in the park reflects my thoughts about nature perfectly! I couldn't have said it better!

Stoneham, Colorado, and Sidney, Nebraska—The crew with Mark is currently working in the two locations listed. It has been a very busy few days. Mark reported that while he was in Colorado, he was seeing yields in the 25- to 65-bushel-per-acre range. There was some freeze and...

Brush, Colorado—I'm back to using song lyrics themes for my posts. This one, from "The Bug" by Mary Chapin Carpenter, is quite appropriate as it feels like we've been more bug lately than windshield, but that is starting to turn around. Let's back up a...

I admit it. I enjoyed my two-ish weeks at home (really, family, friends, and a fully equipped, full sized kitchen for harvest meals—what more could you want?). If you would have asked me just a few days ago, I probably would have said I wasn't...

Northeast Colorado—Sometimes no news is good news, but right now, no new postings from High Plains Harvesting means no news is no news. We went from having the harvest facet on full blast to not even a trickle. The temperatures are unseasonably cool and spotty...

Park, Kansas—I think it would be appropriate to say it is half-time for wheat harvest 2015. Most of the cutting has wrapped up for us in the area, with the exception of one combine, so the majority of the crew was at headquarters doing some...

Northwest Kansas—I realize it has been a little while since I last updated you. I think I have enough information now, so I'm going to give this a shot. It has been a little difficult to catch the guys to get enough information to be...
