Hemingford, Nebraska/Dickinson, North Dakota—Home harvest is slowly beginning to wrap up. In addition to the last of our wheat, my parents have several hundred acres of peas to finish harvesting. We've been plugging away but the last week has been filled with many breakdowns. In Brandon's CR...

Brush!, Colorado—One of the fun things I've found about harvest is the opportunity to "live" in other towns. Obviously, "live" has to be used loosely because sometimes its only for a couple of days, but sometimes we end up staying for weeks. The longer the...

Limon, Colorado—The whole gang's here and I don't think we've had this much fun in a really long time. It's like harvest back in 2004! The sisters lounge at the pool, braid each other's hair, paint nails and kill time at the local shops. On harvest...
