Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has announced the activation of the North Dakota Harvest Hotline. This service is designed to connect farmers in need of custom combining with available combiners.
“Farmers who need custom combining and combiners looking for a job should call us at 701-328-5110,” stated Goehring. “Your name and information will be entered into the Harvest Hotline database to be matched up with other callers.”
The hotline is staffed by employees of the North Dakota Department of Agriculture on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., while messages can be left during evenings and weekends. The service remains free of charge.
In addition, a self-service Harvest Hotline map is available online, accessible by clicking “Maps” at www.ndda.nd.gov. This feature allows users to find information about harvesters in their area by clicking on map icons.
“Both farmers and harvesters are already utilizing the service,” added Goehring.
The Harvest Hotline was first introduced in 1992 in response to adverse weather conditions that increased demand for custom combining services. It continues to be offered annually as a free resource for farmers and custom harvesters.
