About ​​BT Harvesting

BT Harvesting is owned and operated by Anders and Amanda, a husband-and-wife team.
Being born and raised in Denmark, Anders came over to the US and worked for a crew before starting out on his own.
Being based out of Burlington, Oklahoma, they usually have their crew arrive around the end of March/beginning of April. The first 4 to 6 weeks will be setting up new equipment, general shop work, truck maintenance, CDL prep & tests and safety meetings. Their harvest run usually starts in northern Texas and they work their way up to North Dakota cutting mainly wheat and other small grains. Once the wheat run wraps up they head back to South Dakota to prepare for fall harvest. Once the last acre has been cut, the equipment is loaded up and hauled back to their base to be cleaned up and returned to the dealership. They may run a tight ship, but they have a happy crew and almost always have several returning crew members.

If you are considering BT Harvesting, please feel free to contact them as they always have former employees you can talk to about their experience on the crew to help decide if this is the place for you.
