Manley, Nebraska - It's Harvest Time...NOT harvest time.

I was laying in bed the other morning and almost got a bit giddy thinking about harvest. This was not because we'll be escaping home or because of the adventures we're surely going to experience or because of the first swath made, marking the beginning of harvest 2017. Nope, it was the idea of escaping the clock and the schedules of home.

This is THE most difficult part about coming home in the fall. Most people haven't a clue what the heck I'm even talking about (and this is unfortunate).

Gilliland, Texas - I had a nightmare last night that my tractor/grain cart load fell off my trailer... never had I been so happy to be jolted awake by reality at 3 a.m. Sometimes road stories are bizarre and out of control like that. This road story is the exact opposite.

We were graced with perfect travel conditions and the road to Texas went off without a hitch. When we were embarking on our final travel day this morning, Bossman John asked me if I had $16 to pay for the campsite since he had no cash (and also said he would give me $20 back. As an economics major, that's a no-brainer). I had $16 exactly and not a penny more.

Grafton, ND - Harvest time. I doubt there will ever come a time when I don't start mentally packing for it come mid-April. My mind will wander off, daydreaming about wheat fields, and next thing I know I'm checking my apps for wheat prices, weather reports for that first stop on the wheat run and yield projections. Some friends of mine started combining in southern Texas a week or so ago and were sending me Snapchats of their combines in the wheat... I got goosebumps.

For those of you new to the program this year, here's a quick synopsis of me. My name is Stephanie (Steph) Osowski. I'm a third generation custom harvester and am hopelessly addicted to the lifestyle. My family has always custom harvested so all my best childhood memories are either in a wheat field or somewhere along the wheat belt.

Manley, Nebraska - The old cliche' holds true...the older you get, the faster time goes. Jim and I have had numerous discussions regarding this thought. He doesn't agree with me and for that, I'm jealous. I am one that wants to hold onto the special events as long as I can and then try to recall every minute of it somewhere down the road. The years seem to zoom by and when I say, "I can't believe it's been 30 years ago that happened" - he'll say, "it seems that long ago". Maybe he's just denying the fact. Maybe he's got a better grasp on time than I do. Who knows. The fact is...I can't believe this is our 35th year of owning a combine and making the wheat harvest journey!
