After a much needed break for the Fourth, we headed back to the field and started cutting once again. Other than the few green weeds that are growing in the fields, the wheat is good. As I mentioned in a previous post, we are keeping...

Growing up in rural Nebraska means that riding and driving are learned from early ages and quickly become the norm. This mentality has carried over into my adult life as well. So, it was no surprise when I got off work the morning of July...

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...

Limon, Colorado—There is nothing worse than being sick in the summer time. Somewhere over the last week I picked up a bad cold I've really been fighting. Because I've been sick, I've been taking advantage of lying in bed a little later than usual. Yesterday...

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...

St. Francis, Kansas—These last couple days, I have really gotten familiar with the back roads of St. Francis. Our fields range from being 15 miles west of Franny to 20 miles south of Franny. Rather than load up the combine for that distance, we just...

Limon, Colorado—Not a whole lot has happened since the last post. We're sitting on green wheat. Are you surprised? The eastern Colorado area had an above average looking crop in the early spring. Everyone was excited for the summer crop but this spring after a...

St. Francis, Kansas—If you were to ask me about my surroundings today, I would be able to tell you that I could see Colorado from our field. It’s rather ironic because we were in a field that we refer to as the “crater field” because...

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...

Limon, Colorado—Where to begin, where to begin. Callie and I are FINALLY back on the harvest run. And when I say "run," I mean it. These last two days have been nothing but driving, and I'm glad my butt can finally sit in a recliner...
