Harvest starts are delayed this year all across the region due to uncharacteristically rainy conditions in April, May and June, with cooler temperatures all adding up to almost all facets of small-grains harvest running behind the usual time table. Archer UR Ranch kicked off harvest earlier this week due to similar delaying factors. In this photo from the 2021 harvest, Cody Chapman, left, and Dan Chapman, paused for a minute before resuming cutting on their Crall Hollow fields. This year, combines will have Dan and Anne Chapman's sons Cody and Randy in the cb, along with third combine driver, Robert Winkler (not pictured).
