Providing quality contract harvesting services since 1996.

Horton Harvesting is owned and operated by Evan and Linda Horton, who have built their business on a passion for farming technology and the utmost dedication to honest, reliable, and efficient service.

Since taking on his first contract harvesting job at 12 years of age, driving a Massy Ferguson 542 with a 21’ front, Evan’s extensive farming background provides the experience and knowledge of crop and harvesting conditions to get the job done to the highest standard.

Our harvesting rates are based on an assessment of:

• Crop type & grain yield – heavier crops usually take longer to harvest.

• Sample purity – setting & operating harvester to receival depot standards.

• Crop condition – free standing or falling down, weed affected, or low yield areas.


• Travel distance to farm – if remote from other grain growers.

• Paddock terrain – ground conditions & obstacles.

• Total crop area – number of contractor machines on property.

• Proximity to trucks, field bins & silos – delays to unload.

• Provision of related equipment by contractor – chaser bins, field bins & trucks.

• Terms of account payment – if not settled at completion of harvest.

about us copy image


Evan Horton has been doing contract grain harvesting for me for the past 5 or 6 seasons. His work has been excellent and his approach to the whole job is very professional.

His knowledge of his machines is very thorough and he makes every effort to ensure they do the best possible job in whatever harvesting conditions he encounters. He is reliable and does his best to have his harvesters here when the crops are ready.

I have found Evan to be honest, always courteous, hardworking and dedicated to his job, and would continue to use his services.
