Osowski Ag has halted progress for the last couple days. On Friday (July 6th), we ran into more green wheat mid-afternoon and were forced to close up shop for the remainder of the day. There are only so many samples you can take before you...
We have arrived in Gregory, South Dakota. We were able to get camp set up and enjoy the rest of the evening in the cool air conditioning. We've made our rounds and touched bases with the surrounding farmers in order to get our plan in...
Misener Family Harvesters left Elk City, Oklahoma to head north to Gregory, South Dakota on June 30. We packed up the shortest convoy we've ever had because we didn't take any combines this time. We are different than most harvesters because to save time and...
Running into green wheat is almost as bad as when it rains. It leaves a crew with nothing to do. Lucky for us, we were able to find some work to fill the void. Unlucky for us, the route to the field involved a road...
Limon, CO- Normally, I would say that we haven’t had much excitement going on around here, but we actually have. Yesterday, Taylor was able to come back to Colorado after being in San Antonio. Mom and Dad didn’t want her to make the trip alone,...

Life as a harvester means learning to deal with whatever comes at you. I have grown up with it, but even not so subtle reminders keep me on my toes. Even non-harvesters can relate to dealing with jobs, family, health issues, or life in general....
Limon, CO- We started cutting around Limon on Monday, and haven’t really stopped since. It’s been boiling outside. No, literally, boiling. We’ve been seeing the thermometer reach about 104 everyday. Like we said earlier, we really are speeding through our acres. We’ll probably be done...
