Walk down the bread aisle at your grocery store,

an unbroken chain of work made every loaf possible,

from the farmer to the mill worker, to the baker, to the delivery truck driver.

But there's someone missing in that chain.

It's a job you've probably never heard of, the custom harvester.

A lot of the things that you would find in the store and eat,

why they have been harvested by me and people that also do what I do.

Josh Beckley is a third-generation custom harvester.

He runs Beckley harvesting out of Colby, Kansas.

Every year, Josh and a crew travel 500 miles south from Kansas to Haskell, Texas.

He travels with a caravan of equipment, combines, tractors, trucks.

And then we'll just start harvesting other farmers' crops. And as crops ripen,

they ripen from south to north because it gets warm down there faster. And we'll just harvest other

people's crops from Texas to Montana. It's called the harvest run. So on my run last year,

I did about 5 million bushels.

Almost everything that we do

in some way,

somebody around the world eats somewhere.

Up next,

the invisible work

that makes your bread aisle

possible.
