Mar. 7, 2011 Source: DuPont news release As several family-owned custom wheat-harvesting crews prepare to roll out the combines this season, they're inviting the rest of the country to hop aboard the 2011 All Aboard Wheat Harvest Tour. This is the third season online followers can hitch a virtual ride with the crew for a close-up view of the 2011 wheat harvest, sponsored by DuPont Crop Protection and High Plains Journal. Since its 2009 inaugural season, the All Aboard Wheat Harvest Tour has continued to enhance the online harvest experience with a growing selection of tools, including a daily blog; weekly articles in High Plains Journal; video reports; and updates on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Followers receive real-time harvest snapshots and interact with the crews who make the harvest happen. "DuPont is proud to help offer a unique perspective on the lives of custom wheat-harvesting crews through this interactive program," said John Chrosniak, regional director, North America, DuPont Crop Protection.

With an expanding number of Facebook friends and Twitter followers, tour organizers hope to give even more people a real-time opportunity to interact with the 2011 crews as they bring in the harvest across the U.S. Wheat Belt.
