Wow! We have never made a move to South Dakota at the end of June, much less cut wheat in July. This year has been different, for sure. Dan and August have been keeping things going on the harvesting side, while Mom has been holding the...
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...
