Harvest Season Collage

Macie Enyeart, 7, takes a break from riding shotgun with her dad, James Enyeart, in his tractor trailer to check out a field of wheat on the Kinch Farms Saturday afternoon. "I like harvesting because there's lots of combines," Macie Enyeart said.

Scale girl Bailey Buchanan and John Crittenden get details on a load of Harvest Duet, a variety of soft white wheat, from Knodel & Son driver James Peterson.

A Knodel & Son truck waits in line behind another Knodel & Son truck to dump his load of wheat at the Ritzville Warehouse tanks in Washtucna. Ritzville Warehouse merged with Washtucna Grain Growers in 1996.

Crittenden saves a sample of wheat from this load being dumped by a Faure Farms truck. "We have to take a sample and test it; that's how we get paid, based on the quality," Crittenden said.

John Crittenden motions for a Knodel & Son truck to stop right there on the scales.

Travis Willson dumps wheat from a combine into a bank out wagon driven by A.J. Miller Saturday afternoon, July 25.
