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...

Hays, Kansas—It seems like song lyrics or titles keep slipping into my titles. Why reinvent the wheel when these word phrases fit so well with the situation? Besides, if I didn't use these lyrics, I would find myself repeating the same messages in my titles...

Harper, Kansas—Yesterday, the "Texas crew" officially became the "Kansas crew." It was a little sad to leave Burkburnett. We had been there so long it had started to feel homey and the locals showed us such hospitality. From the friendly people at church and those...

Burkburnett, Texas/Roosevelt, Oklahoma—Wow, I sure wish the song would have said "a day like this"! What a few days it has been. A crop that had looked so promising in a region that had been drought stricken has now had yields reduced in some areas...
