Welcome to the Harvest USA Report. I'm Brian Hale, an original production of

I'm in the cotton stripper right now yet still harvesting. 

You're still harvesting. Whoa! I better say we're talking to David Meisner. Let's see Elk City, Oklahoma, is that right?

That is correct. The good news is it's getting down and the bad news is it's not done. That's right. It's not done but the end is very very close. I'm down to maybe one to two days left. It's all done. Done harvesting for the year then. So about how many acres is that? It'll take you two days. Somewhere between 100 to 200 is what I got left. Helping the farmer out to get done. He's got his own machine running so just kind of depends on how much he lets me help finish up and what he wants to try to get accomplished himself if you will. So the two machines working man? Yes it is. Getting done and we're doing cotton and it's a really good cotton harvest year around home this year. Had a lot of rain at the beginning of the year and put some moisture in the subsoil and didn't get it towards the end and we're actually really really dry and dust is blowing on and we've actually had high fire danger today where bug normal temperatures were in the upper 70s and low humidity and it's got wind so it makes a good fire day if but we don't need any of that so we're just trying to be careful and watch what we're doing on harvesting and get this part done.
