This time of year, harvest is normally at full speed around Grafton, N.D. Not this year. I have touched on the crazy spring weather we had with the excessive rain and now when we would like rain, we can't buy a drop. Isn't that always...

When harvesters get home and the wheat is still a couple weeks off, what do they do? Other than go a little stir crazy, there is never a shortage of odds and ends. In the summer our front yard changes bi-weekly. At home, it remains the...

Thank you God, for the rain. We got just over three inches of rain in four days. We still need more, but every bit counts! Rain has made our Oklahoma dirt roads sloppy. These slick roads result in getting into the ditch. Local oil field trucks...

During harvest we have structure. We all have our own delegated tasks to complete each day; mom makes breakfast, dad buys ice and fills up water jugs and the cooler, and Brandon and I fuel up and service machines. When we get home, the structure...

It seems to me that there are two words that should never go together in a sentence: mountains and Oklahoma. But that is what we call hills. We took a drive south of Elk City to the Quartz Mountains Park near Altus, Oklahoma. Driving across...

Where, oh where, has the summer gone? Osowski Ag Service is now all packed up and ready to return to our stomping ground in Grafton, N.D. The half circle we were waiting on ripened up nicely and we were able to finish in just a...

Dan has first-hand experience moving large machinery tires. Sometimes when we repair machines, removing the tires is a requirement to gain access. These big tires are 30.5 x 32 which means they are 30.5 inches wide and the rim is 32 inches in diameter. They...

Half a circle complete! Irrigation is a funny thing. One of the halves was ready for us to harvest, while the other is still between ripe and ready. However, I don't think I have ever seen wheat at 12.2 percent moisture with such green straw....

Progress for Osowski Ag Service has been brought to a halt by green wheat. We have an irrigated circle and one field north of town that we are anxiously waiting on. Usually these types of things happen right when we get our groove going. Days...

Yesterday began as a moving day. We were able to finish up the "crater" field and move 25 miles back towards Hemingford to reach our next fields. There must be something in the water around here because the dry land and irrigated fields are all...
