When harvesters get home and the wheat is still a couple weeks off, what do they do? Other than go a little stir crazy, there is never a shortage of odds and ends. In the summer our front yard changes bi-weekly. At home, it remains the...

Thank you God, for the rain. We got just over three inches of rain in four days. We still need more, but every bit counts! Rain has made our Oklahoma dirt roads sloppy. These slick roads result in getting into the ditch. Local oil field trucks...

During harvest we have structure. We all have our own delegated tasks to complete each day; mom makes breakfast, dad buys ice and fills up water jugs and the cooler, and Brandon and I fuel up and service machines. When we get home, the structure...

It seems to me that there are two words that should never go together in a sentence: mountains and Oklahoma. But that is what we call hills. We took a drive south of Elk City to the Quartz Mountains Park near Altus, Oklahoma. Driving across...

Chadron/Hemingford, Neb. - Roland Harvesting has spent the past two weeks trying to survive a fast and furious harvest around home. I was able to return back to Nebraska for a few days and spent much of that time helping out around Chadron. The crew remained split...

Half a circle complete! Irrigation is a funny thing. One of the halves was ready for us to harvest, while the other is still between ripe and ready. However, I don't think I have ever seen wheat at 12.2 percent moisture with such green straw....
