Combine Harvester Combine Harvester Tells How He started in Harvesting Business
Hello again everyone!
I just got back from spending the weekend with my four Sisters and one Brother and our families in Mahoney State Park in Nebraska. We have quit a crew that gets together every year in the summer time to celebrate Christmas.
In the past we would get together for Christmas during the holidays. As are families started growing, my oldest sister Connie; suggested we try getting together and celebrate during the summer months. This would give us more time to spend with our own families at Christmas time, and we would not have to worry about the weather, and road conditions...
Good Morning Everyone!
I am getting ready to take a load of Ice Cream to North Plate Ne. It is about a five hour Drive and I need to be there by 6:30 Sunday Evening. I have been filling in the slow time with harvest by keeping the tucks on the road. By not going to Montana to harvest wheat, put a little slack time in my schedule. Matt my truck driver has one truck headed for Louisiana this week also with a load of Ice Cream.
The Fall Harvest will soon be here. This last week with the higher the expected temperatures and winds, really brought the crop along. The lighter ground is turn...
Hello Again Everyone!
This last week I was invited to Moline Ill. to visit the JD combine factory. My neighbor just purchased a new STS JD combine and by doing so they were invited to the factory to watch to see their combine be built. I was asked to go along as one of their guests.

When someone buys a new combine JD has a gold key program. The customer and up to three others are asked to come to the f...
Good Day to All!
I was asked to finish a job of harvesting a field of Oats this last week. The harvester that was originally hired to do it could not get it threw his machine, and I am also having a hard time getting it done, I have been on 200 acres for over a week.
The oats was cut down with a windrower because it had grass and weeds coming in it really bad. In most cased this works well because the weeds and grasses will dry down in the windrow and will not cause any or very few problems for the combine. Rains and high humidity make it very slow drying. For the most part the windrow i...
Hello Again Everyone!
Sunday was a busy day with the Schuetzenfest celebration, and I am a little late getting this week’s blog posted. I was harvesting oats Saturday and didn’t shut down until late Saturday night. Early Sunday morning I cleaned my Truck and Hopper bottom trailer up because I had an entry in the Schuetzenfest parade to advertize Heimes Harvesting and Heimes Trucking LLC.
I talked a little about the Schuetzenfest last week in my blog. It is a celebration that we have every five years in BowValley Nebraska.
This year we started the celebration with a 10:30 Mass at...

Greetings from Billings Montana,
It is our understanding that you have a new grain cart operator as of yesterday. This site will allow us to follow Justin with his passion for farming, Very cool! Having grown up on a large dry land farm in central montana I have sat many hours on 8820s and 9600s. I must say that I am very jealous!! Waiting patiently for the next blog. ~ Rod and Darci~
Looking for a double combine trailer. Can you help me out?
No I do not know of any. They will not hold two of the newer combines because of the weight. You might want to look on the US custom harevesters home page. Sorry I could not help you out. Danny
