May 31, 2013 Source: High Plains Journal news release The experience of a lifetime has gone global, and the realities of wheat harvest are now experienced in real time. Five correspondents will share their family's journey from Texas to the Dakotas as wheat harvest moves through America's heartland. The harvest story will be told by correspondents who are in the field and are a part of the harvesting lifestyle. Jada Bulgin, Hoffman Harvesting, is one of the original correspondents and has been with the tour since 2009. Jada is a second-generation harvester and she and husband, Leon, have now taken over the family business while raising their daughter on the road. The Zeorian crew is also an All Aboard Wheat Harvest original. In 2013 Callie and Taylor Zeorian will continue to take over the reins of correspondent from big sister, Jenna. Misener Family Harvesters are also back for another year. Emma has been with the tour since 2010 when she started as a part-time correspondent. She is now full-time on the harvest trail and will share stories that go beyond the wheat field. Megan Roland will also return as a part-time correspondent and will update readers on a less frequent basis, while Stephanie Osowski will return for her second year on the tour. The correspondents will be sharing wheat quality information, personal experiences, and observations during their harvest runs. The blog has gained a global following since inception in 2009. The website offers an opportunity to subscribe to updates delivered via email. Follow the tour on www.facebook.com/allaboardharvest, which has over 1,900 followers in the harvest community. Twitter is also a way to follow along with the tour (www.twitter.com/allaboardtour) as correspondents will be tweeting from the field. Photography has been a popular portion of the tour and can be followed on Flickr (www.flickr.com/allaboardtour) to see the best images from harvest as seen through the lens of our team of correspondents. In addition, Instagram has been added to the social media fold. Fans of All Aboard are encouraged to share harvest photos by using the hashtag #aawh13. Photos from Instagram are displayed on the blog's homepage. Nearly half of the tour's followers were agricultural producers, some with limited access to instant updates. Therefore, some followers tracked the tour through the weekly print media source - High Plains Journal and Midwest Ag Journal. The All Aboard Wheat Harvest™ is sponsored by Syngenta and High Plains Journal with additional support from Kuhn-Krause, Great Plains, Case IH, Unverferth Manufacturing, Inc., and U.S. Custom Harvesters, Inc.
