One of my favorite drives in Nebraska is highway 20 I especially enjoy the drive from Neligh to Chadron.
If you are crossing Iowa on 3 you could drop down on I29 to south of South Sioux City and pick up highway 20 (you will see all kinds of sand hills on this route) then at Valentine you could take 83 north to I90 then tour the black hills and the sitting bull monument . You could then drop back into Nebraska on 385 down to Chadron.
You would then be in the western part of the state and if you check ahead of time you should be find where the wheat harvesters are at this time and if you keep going south you should be able to find the harvest crews either in Nebraska or Kanas depending on what week of the year it is.

My neighbors are a family operated one combine crew; they usually start in northern Texas or southern Oklahoma about the first of May and wind up their harvest about the 2nd week of September in the Jordan, MT area.
Because my neighbors are travelling all summer I keep up on the harvest on this web site.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
