It’s wild to think that summer is quickly coming to a close already! I think I expected it to go a little slower since we spent the majority of it at home … but that just hasn’t been the case. We spent two full weeks of...
I think about this often. So, forgive me if it seems a bit “out there.” What I’m talking about is current experiences and adventures will one day be looked back on as memories. And if the experiences and adventures aren’t documented, either stored somewhere deep...
Jordan, Montana–I’m certain you’ve had days like this … you try and try to make some sort of headway and, instead, it feels like you get nowhere. That’s what this past week has been for us. We didn’t get back in the field until later in the...

Onida, South Dakota—When we come to South Dakota we are always prepared to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Serious work. Mile-long fields, big yields, long hauls, late nights and early mornings ...
Terry, Montana–I am exhausted and words are not coming easily to my foggy brain. Our past week has been spent either preparing for the move to Montana or on the road. The next chapter of our 2019 harvest journey will be titled, “Jordan, Montana.” This is our...
