Season 2Edit

Mose is Dwight's cousin. Together they own and operate a beet farm.

In a deleted scene from the The Injury, Michael describes Mose as a "weirdo": "Twenty-seven years old, never left the beet farm."

In a deleted scene from the episode The Carpet, Michael advises Dwight to tell a joke as part of his sales pitch. Dwight phones a customer and tells a joke he heard from Mose: "What is black and white and red and can't think? A nun who has a beet for a head." The person on the other end apparently gets offended, and Dwight says, "I'm Catholic too."

Season 3Edit

In the episode Initiation, Mose assists Dwight in initiating Ryan as a salesman, but Ryan decides that he has had enough once Mose appears ready for a wrestling match with him.

When Dwight yells "You must vanquish your fear!", Mose emerges with a tan thermal underwear longsleeve shirt, with the word "FEAR" emblazoned on the shirt in red duct tape. Ryan jumps out of the chair and leaves the beet farm. After Ryan departs, Dwight asks "Where are the animals?"

Season 4Edit

In the episode Money, when Jim and Pam decide to spend a night at Schrute Farm, they have a series of unusual encounters with Dwight's cousin Mose.

• Mose runs alongside their car as it drives up.
• Dwight jokes that Mose took and hid all of the wires on the farm, leaving them without power, and that the farm is now 'wireless'.
• While in the beet field, Mose grabs some chunks of manure from the wheelbarrow, and begins throwing them at Dwight to which Dwight calls after him, "Mose, don't! Don't throw the manure!".
• Mose rocks back and forth while staring at Pam in Jurassic Park pajamas while Dwight reads a bedtime excerpt from Harry Potter to him, Jim, and Pam.
• In the middle of the night, Pam wanders out to a window in the hallway and sees Mose in the outhouse with the door swinging violently in the wind.
• Later that night, Jim ventures to Dwights bedroom while investigating a strange wailing (later determined to be Dwight himself, crying over Angela) Dwight assumes it was Mose, and inquires; "are you having nightmares again?" When Jim asks if Mose really has nightmares, Dwight spookily comments "Oh yes, ever since 'the storm'."
• In a deleted scene, Mose attempts to entertain Jim and Pam with his trampoline tricks.
• In a deleted scene, Mose demonstrates little knowledge of the outside world. When Dwight leaves, he says that he has gone to "his day place" and is confused when Jim mentions the office.
• In a deleted scene, Mose cooks Jim and Pam nothing but bacon for breakfast.
• In the same scene, when Mose is done serving breakfast, he says to Jim and Pam, "Everybody poops," to which Jim replies, "Yes... they do."

In The Deposition, Dwight brings Mose to the warehouse to play ping-pong. If Michael is to be believed, this is the first time Mose has left the farm.

In Goodbye, Toby, Mose delivers a raccoon to the office via bicycle in order to help Dwight with the 'playful hazing' of the branch's new HR representative Holly Flax.

Season 6 Edit

Mose makes an appearance in the episode Koi Pond, dressed in an Amish attire and standing still like a wax figurine.
