About Van Driesten Harvesting
Founded in 2010 by Mike and Brittany, our journey began with just one combine and one truck. What started as a small operation has grown into a full-fledged, multi-machine harvesting team. Both Mike and Brittany grew up on farms, with Mike hailing from a Southern Alberta mixed grain and livestock farm, and Brittany from a Central Saskatchewan mixed cattle and grain farm. Their shared passion for the farming lifestyle and the harvest run has fueled the growth of our family business.
From the dusty red roads of Oklahoma to the Missouri River breaks in Montana, our crew travels across many states & into Canada —working hard and building lasting relationships along the way. As our business expanded, so did our team, which now includes six machines, several trucks, grain carts, and even a semi-bunkhouse converted in 2021 to provide our crew with a comfortable place to rest.
The VDH Crew is more than just a team—it’s a family. Mike and Brittany's boys, Wyatt and Cash, are growing up on the harvest trail and are already showing an interest in the equipment. Whether it's helping in the field or joining in on the water fights after a long, hot day in the field, the whole family is part of what makes our operation special.
Over the years, Van Driesten Harvesting has built long-term relationships with many dedicated farmers, providing dependable and efficient custom harvesting services across multiple states. We take pride in not only supporting the farming community but also contributing to the local economy by boosting small towns along our harvest route. As we look to expand in 2025, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead.

A Unique Experience and Lasting Impact
We take great pride in our employees, offering them a one-of-a-kind traveling and working experience. Over the years, many crew members have returned for multiple seasons, becoming a vital part of the Van Driesten Harvesting family. After spending a season or two with us, many go on to pursue other careers, carrying with them valuable life lessons learned on the custom harvest run. Some return to the family farm, purchase their own trucks, or even travel abroad, with the skills and experiences gained during their time with us shaping their future.
Family-Owned and Operated
Van Driesten Harvesting is proudly family-owned and operated. From day one, Mike and Brittany are actively involved with the crew, spending long hours in the field and making sure everyone is taken care of. On off days, the team enjoys downtime together, whether it’s traveling to baseball games, watching movies, go-karting, or exploring local towns and cities. We believe in fostering a strong family atmosphere, both on and off the job, creating a positive and supportive environment for everyone.
