Plot Synopsis

HARVEST is a reality series that follows three custom-harvesting crews as they dash across America -- from border to border -- on a six-month cannonball run, chasing crops and cash while avoiding deadly disasters. These three crews scramble to survive the first week of the season and then face the effects of drought midway through the harvest -- all while making rookie mistakes, encountering serious mechanical failures, enduring two storms, and withstanding a devastating field fire that threatens not only the season, but their lives. The crews are: Sammons Adventures, which had a recent infusion of $2 million of cash to buy equipment, is run by Roger Sammons, who along with his eight-member crew live in trailers as they follow the wheat harvest; Roland Harvesting, a generations-old family-owned business, takes on smaller, more challenging jobs with Alan Roland at the helm with the help of his teenage son, daughter and nephew; and Wurm & Martin Silage Cutters, which uses the most dangerous equipment in the industry to harvest crops for cattle feed called silage, is headed up by Ralph Martin who uses his nine-person crew to cross the Southern grain states each year.
