With the fourth generation now involved, Orrson's story is one of resilience, expansion, and dedication to customer service.Together, these conversations paint a vivid picture of life on the road as a custom harvester—long days, tight schedules, family traditions, and the incredible logistics behind getting America's crops out of the field and into the supply chain.
