JKD Harvesting is a Premier Custom Harvesting Business based in Colby, KS. Colby is located on Interstate 70 in northwest KS. We are 400 miles west of Kansas City, KS, and 240 miles east of Denver, CO. Colby is a community of almost 6000. The area called the High Plains is an intensive farming area, home of western KS irrigation, feed lots, hog operations, Ethanol plants as well as sunflower processing plants both for oil and confectionary purposes. We started this business in 1971 and have grown from a 1 combine operation to several STS John Deere combines with a variety of headers for each combine, grain carts, and trucks are to match the capacity of our combines and the needs of our customers. JKD is owned by Jim & DeAnn Deibert who manage this operation. Harvest is our only enterprise, so we can give 100% to harvesting. We harvest from May thru December and the off season is spent on refurbishing our equipment and doing combine rebuilding for farmers and custom cutters. We take pride in the fact that many of our jobs have been our customers for over 20 years and as long as 34 years. We rely on our customers to raise good crops adn they rely on us to bring good people and equipment to harvest them. Our wheat harvest begins around May 20th in North Central Texas and ends in North Dakota about September 1st when we go back to Texas to harvest high moisture corn then back to Colby KS to finish our fall harvest usually in the second week of November. During this time we will harvest about 20,000 acres of wheat and 6000 acres of fall crops. | ||||||
