Follow Wheat Harvest Tour On the Road and Online
This summer, in the “heartland” of the U.S., two crews will spend seven weeks custom harvesting wheat as part of the “
All Aboard 2009 Wheat Harvest” tour, sponsored by
DuPont Crop Protection and the
High Plains Journal.
Two harvesting crews began harvesting in Texas this month, and will work their way to North Dakota and Montana. Harvesting stops along the way are posted on the tour’s website.
“Custom harvesting is a unique, vital part of our wheat industry,” said Marty Wojcik, cereal herbicide portfolio manager - DuPont Crop Protection. “We thought it would be interesting to follow the agricultural progress and report on important crop protection news, and to meet the people who play a key role in harvesting wheat for the world.”
You can track progress through a blog on www.allaboardharvest.com. There are also updates in the High Plains Journal and on Twitter (hash tag #allaboard2009), giving people across the globe an opportunity to interact with this season’s U.S. wheat harvest in real time.
