Shattuck, Oklahoma—Why does it always feel like we push so hard to get somewhere just to get there and sit and wait? Because that’s what we’re doing. We rushed around and got out of Nebraska on Wednesday and made it to Shattuck Thursday night. And...

Hobart, Oklahoma—If we aren’t racing against the clock to fix a breakdown, we are racing against the weather to try cut as much as possible before the rain comes. All the weather apps say the same thing: rain is in our imminent future from Friday...

Some would say a routine is hard to get into. When it comes to the harvest routine, there is nothing more familiar to Osowski Ag Service. Actually, come to think of it, we have all made comments about how it feels we never really left...

Manley, Nebraska—IT’S TIME TO GO! Yes, you read that right, it’s time to leave for harvest! Dad talked to the farmer on Sunday and we have wheat to cut. And it needs cut NOW. Woo-hoo! Yesterday and today continue to be run-around-like-a-chicken-with-your-head-cut-off busy days. Last night...

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...

Make like wheat and head out. Blow this Popsicle stand. Make like a banana and peel. Pick your favorite key phrase but it all means the same—we gone. Osowski Ag Service has finally hit the road! Day one of our three-day journey to Hobart, Oklahoma,...

Burkburnett, Texas— Well, it's official! Wheat Harvest 2015 kicked off Monday evening, outside of Burkburnett, Texas. We decided to give it a try and the monitor registered between 12ish to 14ish percent moisture (to which we were pleasantly surprised) on the first pass. We took a...
