Holland Harvesting

We got to Swensen’s RV in Minot, ND this AM and there are several custom harvesting crews parked here in this campground. They were sitting around waiting for the heavy dew from the morning fog to leave the crops and so we walked over and spoke with them. The crew we met is from Holland Harvesting owned by Rob and Sue Holland (see their web page at hollandharvesting.com). They had some interesting facts (if I got them right). They have 7 trucks and 7 combines. They can harvest 1000 acres of wheat in a good day. They buy new combines each year and the second combine they buy next year will be their 100th combine. Rob’s wife Sue travels with them and cooks (and I suspect she does a lot of the things no one notices but need to be done to keep this show on the road). Everyone we talked to were so nice. The guys were polite and interesting to talk to. I told them I would treat them to Root Beer Floats and this may require a trip to the grocery store.
