Another year is in the books and it has been a year I will never forget. From starting strong in Holliday, Texas to a rain day or two in Floydada, Texas to too many rain days in Dumas, Texas. Then we had a very quick...
Fort Benton, Mont.- I have kind of mentioned that we are cutting with another crew since the rest of our machines are in South Dakota. I’m going to take this time to talk a little bit about the Skinner Harvesting crew. Dan and Stephanie Skinner...

Dumas, Texas- First off sorry to everyone about not posting a blog in while. We have literally done nothing here in Dumas since I last blogged, in a sense of cutting wheat. But we have had a to-do list a mile long to finish up, and...
