Home: I can't believe its time for me to write my closing post. I'm happy to report that all of our crew and equipment made it home last week safely from the summer run. They spent the remainder of the week completing preparations for corn...
Park, Kansas, and Highway 83: The light at the end of the wheat harvest tunnel is becoming larger and brighter by the minute. Mark and the crew in Montana completed their wheat season last week and have made their 1200+ mile journey home to Park,...
Cut Bank, Montana: Montana is known as "big sky country." However, Ryan also likes to refer to it as "big field country" and it is these large fields that help make up for lost time.It's been a little hard on the guys as they've been out...
Garrison, North Dakota: "So, when do you think you'll head back?" That was the question from Ryan. You see, we had never planned for the kids and I to stay the entire time up north. I would need to return home to get caught up on things....

It's hard to believe that Colorado is complete. We were still cutting there this time last year. The crews were fortunate to have excellent weather since the 4th and 5th of July respectively and cut daily until the 22nd when they completed Colorado. We had some rains move through, but they...
Northeast Colorado:You may have heard your kindergarten teacher say, "Sharing is caring!" However, that rule doesn't always apply to harvest. One of the most hated tasks of the crew is blowing off the machines, but it is a crucial practice not only for keeping machines...
