A wonderful thing happened the other day. Two All Aboard Wheat Harvest crews collided! The Z Crew moved to Shattuck, Oklahoma as you have read in their previous post where it has been raining. What is there to do on rainy days on the harvest trail?...
Osowski Ag Service has finished and closed up shop in Hobart, Okla. for the 2013 harvest season. It's always bittersweet to say goodbye to our friends and farmers at each stop but as we all know, the wheat waits for no one! Mom and I...

Hoffman Harvesting has been off the grid for a little while but it is for very good reasons. Not often do we drop everything in the midst of harvest- weddings and birthdays included- to take a flight home. However, a very important test had me...
