In the upcoming months, we will be accompanying a German young talent as she embarks across the US for her harvest tour.
Before the great adventure, Katja explained, “I am from the beautiful Schrozberg in the south of Germany where my parents run a custom harvesting business.” The 20-year-old completed her apprenticeship at custom harvester Landtechnisches Lohnunternehmen Frank Scholz.
After her graduation last summer, Katja moved to the US and admits: “Now I have fulfilled my dream of being in the land of unlimited possibilities.”
Green Acres Enterprises, Inc. is a progressive, young family business harvesting wheat, durum, barley, canola, flax, milo, sesame, soybeans and corn across the US from Oklahoma to the Border in North Dakota. The family is supported every year by young people from abroad. This year Katja and Klare, a young woman from Australia, are doing an internship.
Today, Katja is telling us what to expect in the upcoming months: „ The custom harvester Green Acres Enterprises has its home base at Elk City, OK. Every year they start with the wheat harvest here in Oklahoma, in the south of the country. Then they follow the harvest northwards to the Canadian border in North Dakota. Because of this we will be traveling a lot in the upcoming months. At the moment we do all necessary maintenance to the combines and cutting platforms so we are ready to go for the harvest.
