Good morning.  Today is moving day from Pierre to Minot, ND.  Everyone took a couple days off work and now it’s time to get going again.  It was a great run in Pierre and I’ve heard the wheat in ND looks to be good.  I think the plan is to start...

Pierre is officially over for the OCF Harvest Tour 2007!  I have seen a sample of the professional pictures taken and they are very neat.  I will see if I can get permission to post them on the site tomorrow.  Another friend of ours, Dwight Buller,...

Good morning.  The guys were out celebrating a birthday last night so I think it’s a slow start to the day today!!  Chad said they got just a sprinkle last night so with one day left in Pierre, he’s not sure if cutting is going to take place today or...

It sounds like they might make a go of it yet this afternoon as the sun is beginning to peek through.  I think they only have 700 acres left there to cut. We just got a nice little shot of rain here over the past half hour or so.  The greens should be...

One combine is currently down but thirteen have been cutting all day.  I talked to Luke and Chad for a while tonight and they both said that it’s really been a great day.  They will have cut 2600 acres by the time the day is done today.  Two hundred...

Good morning.  I talked to Chad last night around 11:00 and he and everyone else were in town having supper together at a Pierre restaurant.  It sounded like they were having a good time as there was a bunch of laughing in the background. They obviously...

Good morning.   Chad said they wrapped up the winter wheat last night and have now cut the first 1200 acres of spring wheat.  He said the yields have been running 45-55 today for the spring wheat.  He said he’s running 14 combines in the field...

Good morning.  My update may not come until noon again today.  All I’m getting are voicemails from their cell phones this morning so they must be in a tough cell area, or they’re sleeping!!!!!! It’s absolutely a beautiful day here in SW MN!!!  I wish...

Chad gave me a call from the farmer’s shop (a land line) as they have no cell service where they are working today.  Chad said they are just finishing with the winter wheat today and then they have 8000-12000 acres of spring wheat to cut.  He figures they...

Good morning. I feel like I’m repeating myself the last few days of the harvest tour diary. Chad said they cut last night until about 11:30 and all is going well. They are still in really good wheat and the crew has cut just over 9,000 acres since a few combines...
