Lessee, Larned is SW of Great Bend. We used to haul combines through there on the way to SW Oklahoma. We harvested farther west in western Kansas but I'm guessing the harvest around Larned would be running in the July 4th time frame, depending on how far along the crop is this spring and summer. Someone on this site who's local to that area would know more details than I do. If you choose the summer harvest and you are driving through there when the machines are running, stop and get a ride in a combine. Most of the guys would be glad to give you a tour, and show off a little to boot. The bigger the head on the combine, the more they will like to show it to you. Try to find a crew with new combines so you can look at the bells and whistles in the cab (wink).
If you want to see the sandhills of Nebraska you might want to take HWY 20 through Sioux City and go west. It's about the best way to go west through northern Nebraska. If you are on HWY 3, which by the way, is only 3 miles from me, you can go to LeMars, catch 75 south and connect with 20 at Sioux City. The true sandhills are a little farther west than Larned is in Kansas and you'll backtrack a little but you'll see more of the wide open country that way. I get excited just talking about the harvest. Wish I could go with you. Jim
