All three Harvest crews scramble to survive the first week of the season. In the midst of the deadliest tornado and drought year on record, two storm systems bear down on the heartland--pummeling the Roland and Sammons crews before colliding right on top of the Martin crew and dropping a deadly tornado. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in crops are destroyed--and it's a race against time for the crews to keep what paying jobs they still have. Dangerous equipment failures add tension, resulting in a perfect storm of problems that puts the entire season at risk--before it has even begun.
Week six of the Harvest season, and all three teams are reeling from major and dangerous setbacks. Hoping for a better week, the crews face a blunt reality check as the worst drought on record and a dangerous heat wave bears down on the entire Grain Belt. Tempers flare as the crews struggle to survive the jobs they have--but rookie mistakes, serious mechanical failures and a devastating field fire threatens not only the season... but their lives.
Week eighteen, and the Harvest season goes from bad to worse as all three crews go to battle in the face of the deadliest tornado and drought season on record. The Sammons Crew struggles with unstable weather that mars the heartland--while Ralph Martin deals with unstable personalities that cost the crew tens of thousands in lost crops. Devastating equipment losses and storms systems bear down on the Roland and Sammons crews. Only the strongest Harvesters will survive.
The final week of the Harvest season and desperate times call for desperate measures. Ralph Martin moves his crew to Texas to help a farmer save his corn crop--but unexpected weather forces the crew onto a risky field. Up north--Alan Roland and Roger Sammons risk their financial futures as they battle serious breakdowns and sobering crew injuries... Putting it all on the line--to end the season in the black. If they hope to win, they have to bet it all.
