# Reducing Compaction and Improving Yields at Harvest
Due to the seasonal nature of combines and grain carts, most farmers only think about them at harvest time—and often only think about the tires on this equipment when they fail. However, because of the growing size of harvest equipment, it’s more important than ever to pay attention to tires. According to a study from [Iowa State University Extension and Outreach](https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/crops/pdf/a3-16.pdf), from 2006 to 2015, the average horsepower of combines rose from 230 to 342. Over that same time, the average capacity of grain carts grew from 689 bushels to 883 bushels. Because of the massive weight and power of these machines, they're capable of creating deeper, longer-lasting compaction. Luckily, farmers can take a few measures to reduce the impact of their enormous equipment.

# Reflecting on Harvest 2016
Harvest is an exciting time as farmers conclude their season and get to see the results of the year’s efforts. Of course, a farmer’s job is never over and as much as harvest represents the end of the season, it’s also the time farmers start thinking about the beginning of a new one. With harvest being such a chaotic time of year, we love that so many of you stop to capture and share the beautiful, inspiring, and unforgettable moments. Scrolling through our Twitter feed and looking at all the great photos, we feel like we’re in the field and riding in the combine right next to you! Here are some of our favorite photos tagged with #harvest16

# Wheat Harvest 2016
It's hard to believe that another wheat harvest is coming to an end. For the past few weeks, many of you have probably spent more time on and in your tractors, combines, and trucks than anywhere else. While harvest days are long and busy, we love that so many farmers are willing to stop for a minute to take in the beauty of the farm and fields, and we're grateful that many of you share that moment with the world on places like Twitter. Here are a few of the posts from this year's wheat harvest that made us feel like we were behind the wheel of a combine and hard at work in the heartland that used the hashtag #wheatharvest16.
