U.S. Custom Harvesters Go Everywhere, Harvesting Crops That Feed the World

U.S. Custom Harvesters, Inc. go everywhere and are everywhere. Born out of a need to get millions of acres of crops harvested in a short harvest window, the organization was established and chartered in 1983 in Texas. USCHI serves as a link between the harvesters and the many groups of people they work with, such as farmers, businesses, State and Federal Government, according to the USCHI website.
Recently, KC Sheperd, associate director of Radio Oklahoma Ag Network, caught up with USCHI Treasurer David Misener about what it takes to get U.S. crops in the bin each year.
"We have members throughout the United States, who travel everywhere," Misener said.
USCHI harvesters serve a vital role in American agriculture. Oftentimes, harvest windows are small, and a handful of reasons may push a farmer to call USCHI.
"It is one thing to plant with a 60-foot air seeder, but you cannot get it harvested nearly as quick," Misener said. "Equipment is so expensive, and it does not matter if it is new or used, it is going to break down."
For producers wondering how they can utilize USCHI, Misener said they should call USCHI Operations Manager Mandi Sieren at 620-200-1381 or send an email to office@uschi.com.
Recently, Misener was harvesting cotton through USCHI in Delhi, Okla.
