It's been ten days since Abby arrived to help out Misener Family Harvesters. We love having her come and always dread when she has to report back to work. We'll miss her smile and attitude around here, and we're all looking forward to her next...
Since Elk City harvest is over and we don't have any jobs lined up yet we've been doing projects in the shop. These projects include cleaning, taking the scrap iron out, and getting organized. Here's a few pictures of our shop projects. Vincent, August and Dan getting...
Normally servicing equipment in the morning can be tedious and repetitive but this morning, we all rather enjoyed ourselves knowing a full day of cutting was ahead. We got started only for our moisture to be at 14.2 percent, leaving us no choice but to...
The Misener crew has finished cutting wheat around home, and it has been a lovely crop. The wheat is just so much better than last year averaging 33 bushels per acre, 10.5 percent moisture and 61 pound test weight. These results are a far cry from...
We were skeptical for awhile that these rains would set in and never leave but leave us they have and we were finally able to get back in the field! We cut a sample around 3 p.m. this afternoon and got 13.5 percent moisture. Finally, good to...
This past week, we've had a full house - busting at the seams full. My sister Katie and her family from Kansas came down to visit, as well as my sister Marie and her family from North Dakota. It's always nice to have them come...
Shattuck, Okla. – Small town cafes are hard to beat. You know, the ones with local pictures and signs with witty sayings hanging on the walls. The food tastes like home-cooked meals and the people working there greet you with a big smile when you...
I'm sure it comes as no surprise when I say rain has stopped all action for Osowski Ag. It started Tuesday night and has continued on throughout the week, even though the weather man said it was supposed to be smooth sailing from Thursday night...
Crazy busy. That has to be the biggest understatement for the Misener family this past week.
It all started (and we like to tease August about it) when August got the combine stuck. We were driving in mud that was two feet deep in places, but he is the only one that buried the big green beast. I think it's safe to say he is now officially part of the family. We didn't even need to get a tractor to pull him out, we just unloaded the hopper. With the four-wheel-drive and a lot of backup power we were able to get him unstuck and cutting again in a few minutes.
This is what we were driving through. In the low parts of the fields, the water was easily up to one to two feet deep.
She's back in action! My friend Abby came to help us out for about ten days. She is taking a break from her job on the far northern edge of Alaska to drive the big green machines again. Abby first came on harvest is 2008 and...
