Thank you Ted,
Farming is a great life and I forget at times how blessed I am to be a part of a family farm. Sometimes we put too much thought into producing bushels and doing our best to bring in money that we lose track of what truly is important, faith, family, and passing down the blessing of the farm to future generations.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Yousef Jeremiah instablaster :)
@Kaysen Terry i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kaysen Terry It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Yousef Jeremiah glad I could help =)
Wow the power of a picture is crazy
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Who comes back to watch this awsome video 7 years later
My Grandfather was born in 1947, he loved agriculture. He would have loved to stop and see you all when he was on a semi-truck run in Montana.
Your welcome farmerdave! I enjoyed putting it together and it helped me realize just how special my family farm is.
A few of the people that made this country great
I grew up on a wheat farm. This brought tears, just goes to show that you can take the girl from the farm but not the farm from the girl. Thanks!
Julie, it kind of brought a tear to my eye. In 1983 I was traveling across rural Montana doing a market research study with large grain farmers. I remember a guy that graduated with a high school class of 5 kids.
Just found this video. Things has really changed in 100 years. I really enjoyed it.
Wow this was 10years ago I'm glad I found this channel, my daughter and I love watching your vlogs. God Bless you farmers 🙏
Thanks cross! It turned out really well and also helps remind me of the life I have now is a direct result of their hard work.
This is American history at it's finest, pure Americana.
Thanks Cross! We are from Montana, North Central Montana. It is good country here but the rain can be difficult and the wind annoying.
Amazing video, thanks for sharing. One request. Nick, I would really enjoy seeing you, Scott, and your dad sitting together narrating through the video. Telling us the history behind each picture and some other stories of your family farm history and stories of homesteading Montana. I really look forward to seeing something like that in the future. I can't get enough of the homesteading history here in Montana, it's amazing what that generation did, and your family stuck through all the hard times. God Bless
that person whonstarted welkers farm would be very proud of what it is become
Thanks Julie! It was an honor making a slideshow of our family pictures. Pretty cool you grew up on a farm, it is a rare thing these days to be able to say that and anymore I'd say a huge blessing to be a produce of a family farm!
Thanks Ted!
7 years later it is still cool to watch
These old photos shows me how we can’t complain about hard work we have it to easy thanks for sharing you family with us nick keep smiling
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for feeding us. As a cattle rancher, I applaud your efforts through feast and famine just as we do down here in Texas... America the Great !
You rock Reid...thanks buddy!
9 years of videos crazy... this is the 1st video I watched
Love seeing videos like this, the men of yester year sure did work harder
Nick this video brought tears to my eyes because it reminds me so much of my Montana family over here in North West Montana. Eureka, Montana. I grew up in a logging family. But my family is so much like yours it’s just that yours farmed and mine logged. But our values our way of life and by that I mean our outlook on life are pretty much a carbon copy of each other. We could easily swap grandfathers and fathers in great grandfathers. Even though I’m about 20 years older than you it doesn’t matter our Montana families are so much alike.
Yes Berry! We farm around the northern half of Shelby and we are about 100 miles from Havre. We take a lot of pride and joy in our Buds and are majorly upgrading one of the first Buds every produced to farm with again. Hopefully it'll be ready by next year. I'll have a video uploaded of it when it is finished.
Thanks everyone! And Loren, I was wondering who took those pictures! Good pics!
Amazing when history shows harvest at 40 a on a good day to now nearly 500 acres a day. God bless.
Thanks for the history lesson I love anything that 25 year old or older. I really like your old 7700 turbo
It’s a shame the world today is losing farmers not only are you loosing food but losing precious memories. I want to farm so bad I’m in south west Wisconsin but we don’t have the money or land. Thank welters when I eat supper at night I think about all the time and effort into making it. Farmers are selfless. Thanks to all the farmers out there! God bless
Really like that 100 year tribute to see how far as a family & a community has come in a 100 years.
So you switched out the Deeres for Case IH. Up here in this neck of the woods there is everything. To each his own & what works. My uncle had in desperation a Deere flex (900 series) on a 1680 IH that got some heads turning. It worked with what he had. Any way nice to see you all working together as a family. I live straight north across the border where m6 grand father can to help his aunt & her husband break land when there was very few settlers in these parts, 1911
Yes sir! We still use that JD for spraying, its a JD 8430, runs like a champ! But no ac haha
Congratulations on the CENTURY CELEBRATIONS.
I am sure you know that you and your family has been richly Blessed .
Brings a tear to my eye
Yes Sir, Montana. We farm only wheat at the moment and our operation has changed greatly over the years. So far this year is looking okay, had some nasty hail that took out a few thousand acres but it looks like some will recover.
God Bless our Farmers!! You feed so many and most take it for granted. Keep passing it down to the next generation of farmers. Thank you!
You guys are awesome, God bless you
BRAVO! BRAVO! Great content. Excellent music! It was like meeting all your family. I love HISTORY. Keep it going. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great slide show. Thanks for sharing!
THANKYOU for the history
Great video just come a crossed it. The combined at about .51 looked alot like the one the guy that lived next to us had in the late 50s was the first one of them I had ever seen. He take me for a ride on it. Was a thrill for a boy of about 7 or 8 years old. You have a great heritage hopefully your kids will get it up towards 200 thiers take it over.
God bless.
It's really cool stuff.
I'm happy. I've watched it several times.
I wish you all the best in the future.
Great video, I sat here smiling the whole while, thinking how close your family and my family have lived the same life and for such a long time period. At times I thought I was looking at members of my family. I live in North Dakota. Thanks again and God Bless You and Yours.
Awww I appreciate that! Yes so many of us have our roots from the same lifestyle of years past. Its the least we can do to remember those who prepared the lifestyle we live today. God bless you too!
Welker Farms Inc much love and respect to you and your family. keeping America fed and healthy for 100 years. I am a diesel mechanic and trucker from Florida.
Welker farms yall have a wonderful day bc yall put food on our tables everynight without farming theres no food and i wanna thank yall for doing that yall have a bless day
Ive watched this about 5 times and love this video!! I smile thru the whole thing and even though im not any relation to your family i can feel the pride and love you must feel to be a welker. to make a video of all your familys accomplishments and to see the history of your family is very heart felt.
Thanks!
What’s neat about this is that even the buds you showed that you no longer have are probably still working. Ron Harmon probably knows where
Thank you 🙏 so much Nick! My God My God, me and my girl are sooooooo nostalgic. How we love the old days.
Back during a time when folks all across our great Nation made sense!!! Dear God continue to bless this absolutely wonderful family! Praise Jesus. Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!
great pictures thanks for Sharon man that was one big cat holly of mother.
Neat history on the Welker farm
What a great way to show off the Welker Farm legacy.. Loved this
couple of deja vu moments there, that green ford pickup is the exact same model as our first service truck, and the 2nd fellow to rent our farm after we switched full time to heavy equipment repair was still running a dodge same as the blue one as his farm truck in the mid 80's
You know it!
An extraordinary film; a worthy compilation to honor your family. You Welker's have accomplished a great deal; sacrificed and risked to make your farm what it is today. Such beautiful pictures. Thanks.
Ulleval73 Thank you Ulleval! Very kind words!
Welker Farms Inc kind and true words. May you succeed in every endeavor
Absolutely a great video of your family or clan from your finding of the beginning and up to now the future.
I grew up in the 1940's and 50's so I know where this is all coming from and thanks for such a great production and all your work to do it and I know many hours.
I could see many things in your video that took me back to my Grandparents on the farm and who brought me up in my life that I have now and thank god they did.
Thanks for watching, it was your generation that built this country, hopefully we can get back to that responsible mindset.
Wow what a evolution thanks for showing some history oh, it doesn't snow like that anymore!❄
Good example of a quality America life
Back in 1983 I flew into Great Falls MT and was traveling around the Great Falls area interviewing farmers for I believe the Kiplinger letter, or some investment Newsletter. I was traveling through the most rural area I had ever seen in my life. I saw a guy with a Big Bud, got out of my car and did a couple of rounds with him. Who knows? it might have been you guys. I just remember thinking "What a nice guy?"
A great tribe to your family Farm Channel
Nick I just found this video and how powerful it was. Family is truly everything! Thanks so much for sharing.
It's and oldie but still emotional!
That was awesome!!
Thank you 👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏼
This is still one of my all time fav vidoes nick
It is good to watch when I think I have it hard in life!
It's amazing to see how the family grew and changed thru the years. Its farmers like you that make our country great. As a former farm equipment technician, I can appreciate what it takes to have a legacy like yours. Well done!! Great story you have in this vid!!! Keep them coming!!
+MF Tech glad you enjoyed this video and I feel the exact same as you, life is changing and so is agriculture!
blood..sweat..tears..laughter and joy..Family
Amazing how all these pictures show so much growth through the years. Keep up the great work and amazing video
Very very very very good!!!!
Javier V. Thank you Javier!
Awesome!! These are simply great stories how life goes on. It was like "deja vu" in 4:13, my grandfather visited in USA at 70's and later this little farm boy get from Santa this same JD toy combine! I still have it.
That is very cool! Amazing stories how these farms came to be, just hope we can keep the legacy going!
I love watching things like this. Truly amazing to see how far the Welker Farms has evolved into the massive operation it is today.
You all, from the first seed planted to today are testament to some serious hard work and teamwork!
I love your channel and will continue to, always.
I can't imagine some of the hard times your family has had to endure throughout the years, my hat is off to you and yours for all that hard work!
Here's a couple extra thumbs up for ya.... 👍👍
Thanks for the videos.
The last hundret years changed so much.
So many big machines, which make work at one day what you worked one week or longer hundret years ago.
Great video👍🏼 I love it
+I_bin_da_Alex __ glad you watched this! Amazing how times have changed and who knows what the future will be like!
Pretty neat old stuff.
I've really enjoyed watching your video's. I particularly like seeing the Big Buds in action. A friend of mine lives in Big Sandy, he took me out to see the 747 on the Williams Brothers farm! I've also been to Shelby!
Awesome video. Grew up staying on my grandparents farm during summer in S.C. Only approx 350 acres but stayed busy using smaller equipment. You never get caught up on work. There's always things that need to been done. Enjoy you sharing your life with us. Keep the videos coming. Thanks
+steve smith That is so true, always something that needs your time!
Awesome guys thank you so much, you have a rich heritage to be proud of God Bless 👍
nice job Nick! Thanks for taking the time to share American history. I hope people will remember where their food comes from. Nothing better than growing up on a farm. Mine is small but I love the smell of dirt!
I think that was your best video ever.
Six years later still watching 👌
Great clip, so much history!
this is the best thing I've seen in a very long time
Great film-great people, men and women!
+Tom Greene Thank you Tom! They were amazing people!
Another great video! Seeing that old "G" Minneapolis Moline reminds me of the time I spent running my Dad's "G" Moline, which we still have! Grandpa and uncle Richard bought it brand new in 1950. Dad said it was the first tractor they had on the farm with electric start. Its now mine and I'm going to get it ready for paint and new decals, this summer.
That is so cool, it is going to look really sharp when finished! Ours need work but are still running. I love the sound of their little 4 cylinder engine as it nearly dies...pauses for a second and then starts firing up again. They are something else.
Dicided to scroll down a bit. M glad i did. Wow, this is realy great.
Every once in a while have to watch this one. And get more impressed. This were the real pioneers!
FANTASTIC
Really great, love the music
God bless all farmers!!
Got a glimpse of my dodge 500. Thanks. Goose T
nick love the farm you are so great and praise the lord
Thank you Thomas! Praise the Lord indeed!
Thank you this video is fantastic
very cool showing the appreciation you have for the generation that came before you getting your operation where it is today. It's nice to see a family farm succeed over the course of 100 years without it being sold after deaths or the 80's crisis or extreme droughts in wheat country. Keep up the tradition, we are the 1% to feed the world. Good luck and very inspirational.
Awesome to see the first series bud working the land back in the day and seeing it in 2019 like it’s still working the fields the day you all go it!! Amazing Nick
You bet Loren!
Amazing , awesome job
It's neat to see history and how far farming has come along.
Thank you!!!👉content 👍👍👍🙏
That's a great video you have made for your family Legacy.. I'm a first generation farmer just turned 40 in October. We live in Ks and have a son that's 14 starting to farm on his own using my equipment and hope someday he'll take over our operation. Started on my own in 96 and still hard at it.. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Also thanks for the reply this morning on the acres you farm that's awesome.
Thanks Keenan! That is a rare thing to be a first generation farmer! Not many around here can say that. You're doing something I can never say I've done and that's starting off without a family farm to begin with. Hopefully your son will pick it up and continue a legacy. There are a lot of forces working against generational businesses but it isn't impossible.
Excellent !!!!!
Such a great video.
Awesome video!! So many generations and the legacy lives on.
Thank you for sharing this pictures, your family history.
What a fantastic insight into the generations of the welker family. And How far have we come in farming technology. Loved it.
GOD BLESS THE WELKERS!! Thank you!
