- Montana Wheat Harvest 2021 Morning Routine!!!
In today's video, I take you through our morning routine to get the combines and grain cart ready for a day of harvest on our Montana farm. We have to be sure to grease the combines and grain cart. We also blow out all the filters. Harvesting wheat is a very dusty job! If we miss greasing one zerk fitting a fire can start, so we are very thorough. Our crew has a great attitude and we all try to get a good start to the day! Darcy has a lot to say this morning! My Dad takes a pass with me in my combine to show me how to set up the header. He thinks that the John Deere manual is more complicated than reading the Bible. He might be right. I got stung by a bee, so I put mud on it at lunch. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you like my video!!!

My Story…
Hello. My name is Kate Stephens, and I am a 17-year-old 4th generation Montana farmer. My family has been farming wheat in north-central Montana since my great grandfather immigrated from Denmark in 1912 and homesteaded our land. My family has been teaching me about farming since I was two years old. I run one of the combines on the farm at harvest. I believe that it is important for everyone to know where their food comes from and the families who produce it. I love our farm, and I hope that my Farm to Fashion and Farm to Table products can help educate people about where their food comes from in a fun way. That is how Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion became a reality. I hope you love my products as much as I do because this is an extension of our farm and the grains we have been growing to feed other families for over one hundred years.
Olet ihana tyttö katselen sinua täältä suomesta finland😄😄

Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful blessing!!!! You made my day!
I spent a lot of time in the fields with my dad and my older brother and the rest of the men on the crew during various harvests back in the 60s. They're gone many years now and the banter of getting ready to get going for the day brought back some fond memories to my mind and a tear or two to my eyes. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there.
Thank you for your wonderful story! You made my day!!!

The scenes with you and your father in the combine, your dialogue, you yourself working so calmly and in control and at the same time attentive to your father: these resemble scenes of an arthouse film !

Great to see the younger generation involved in farming, NY Farm girls, Laura farms, Cole the Cornstar, Welker farms and the Millennial farmer
Thank you for your great comment!
I'd love it if she could go interview or spend the day with the cornstars
Kate , From what I can see and hear your dad has a fantastic crew of hard workers he’s surrounded by , each one knows what to do and works hard doing it . Your interviewing skills are getting better and better. Hope you all stay safe and have a good harvest.

Hi Mr. Tynan! Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words!!!!!!!!
Hello Kate. I've been a farmer my self, in Sweden, but had to stop after an accident and I just want to tell you how much I love your vids. You are really an inspirational young woman.👍😊🥰
Thank you so much for your great story and wonderful and kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my day!
Hey Kate. Greetings from Dawson County Montana. Your Dad is funny sometimes...serious at other times. "Industrialized reading, you read the combine book." I don't care who you are...that's funny!Your father is fortunate that you can run a combine and do it well too! Thanks for sharing your harvest world with all of us. Take care and be safe Kate.
Thank you so much for your great and kind words!!!!!!!! My Dad is a character!!!
Your Dad Is Funny Explaining How the Combine would Do
Thank you for your great comment!
thank you Kate you are awesome and a pleasure to watch learning a lot. God bless you and your family
Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello little Kate, how are you? You found your favorite teacher and you find a good time with him, it's good. Take care of you.
Thank you for your kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So entertaining ! ...your Dad and all his buttons lots to remember . Hope the bee sting is a little better looked like old fashion first aid treatment the best .
Thank you for your kind words!!! Yes the bee sting is better. My mom told me mud is the fastest way to fix a bee sting out in the field.
Hello Kate"Ag ... good
Your dad is so knowledgeable it's awesome to watch
Thank you so much! I agree!!!
Another great video. Enjoy you and your dad's interactions together. Keep doing what you're doing. Nice to see how farms in other places operate.
Thank you so much for your kindness!
I've noticed us farm dads are all about same. Sometimes can be a little hard on our kids but it comes from a place of love.
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another successful day and another great video. Ignore the negative comments and people and keep enjoying life! Keep your family close and watch out for stinging insects!
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!! You made my day!!!
Thank you for your positive demeanor and upbeat attitude, it's lacking these days.
Thank you for your kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah yes. The morning routine. Always made me nervous that I'd find something wrong and have to spend hours working on it. Lol. Looks like you have a good crew checking over things. Nice video Kate !!
Thank you for your great story and kind words!
Growing up on a farm is the best kind of life you could wish for. I did and thankful for it every day.
Thank you for your kind words and great story!!!!!!
Your Dad is a hoot! Reminds me of how my Grandfather was when I was growing up learning the farm!
LOL! Yes dad has some humor! Thank you for your great comment!
@@KatesAg You're welcome!
Don't forget moments like this, just finished corn harvest (yes early, Texas harvest corn in August) and for the first time in almost five years my dad rode in my combine with me. He retired about a year ago but did custom harvesting for 38 years... No matter how much experience I have, he will critique me... Even if we're in my new combine, which he has never run... But I always take it to heart. Never forget memories and the experiences your elders like your dad passes down to you!
Thank you for your wonderful story and kind words! I am very grateful to spend time with my dad!
I love your videos, so nice to see so many young people in farming
Thank you so much for your kindness!!! You made my day!!!
Jim seemed very pleased being thanked! Nice fella! Very good explanation.
Yes Jim is very nice and knowledgeable! Thank you.
Good show Kate , Nice to see all the maintenance , Very expensive equipment . No break downs means cheaper food prices .
Thank you for your kind words and great comment!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely you are an old soul. Sure like you and your dad interact. You are great at explaining things. God bless. 🇨🇦
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!
Kate's Ag and Welkers Farms are my favorite farm channels and don't forget Sonne Farms,,, Good job Kate. keep the videos coming.... Thank You
Thank you so much for your kindness! You made my day!!!
Hi Kate, I'm not surprised to see the day starting with maintenance. Your dad knows that is a vital part of operation. You folks have some very nice equipment there. Lets hope the fires are done. Stay safe more please
Thank you for your kind words! We have a wonderful crew and I also hoe there are no more fires!!
A mud poultice for a bee sting. How well I remember. You and your dad are going to be the farm team of all time. Very enjoyable video.
Thank you for your kind words and great encouragement! Yes the mud works really well!
She is so cheerful and upbeat! Refreshing to watch and listen to. 😁
Thank you for your wonderful kindness Mr. Brown!
Lol..All that gallows humour and sarcasm in the wheat fields.
Did you know, it's good practice to refill diesel tanks at night than in the morning. Empty tanks allows condensation to form they cool and that accumulates in the diesel.
Same with over greasing excess grease attracts dust and causes wear.
Condensation is why there are water separators. Also consider that the air there in MT is VARY dry. Excess grease may attract dust but that is on the outside and just gets dirty; no additional wear. Just how much grease also depends on the particular type and size of bearing. On my small JD it was one or two pumps on the grease gun just like the grease gun in the video.
Growing popularity means attracting uninvited attention and also sarcastic statements.
@Maurice Upton LOL! Thank you for your advice and great comment!
Yeah your right. Over greasing heats the bearings up and destroys seals. We do services and fueling at the end of the work day
@@robertaus8420 Thank you.
"its more complicated than the Bible written in Latin" hahaha I'm going to have to steal that one
amazing video!!! i loved it!!!!!!! and congrats on 31k subcribers!!!!!!! also morning is my favorite time of the day!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and great encouragement!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my day!!
Thanks for sharing another awesome video kate I baught a loaf of bread 🍞 today and I thought about all the hard work it took to get it to the shelf in the store thank you and your family for all your hard work ❤️
Thank you for your great comment and kind words!!!!!
@@KatesAg your welcome precious 🌹
Hi Kate glad to see you folks are at it again after the fire scare😀
Also when are you going to put up a video of you and your dad flying again I liked the view of your land thnxs again for the videos
Thank you so much for your kind words and great encouragement!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Kate, My name is Rich. I am from Florida, Just started watching you. I was born on a Dairy Farm in Aurora NY and we had nothing like your equipment on our farm. I have never seen a Combine with this type of head before, So it is pretty interesting to me. I enjoy your wildlife scenes and your commentary of the Harvest. Love the video, Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your great story and kind words!
Love your Dad's comment about the "Combine book" being harder to read than the Bible in Latin!!!
LOL! Thank you for your great comment!!!
Another great video, I really enjoy watching you and your dad, he reminds me a lot of how my dad was, Get it right he was fine, get it wrong he would let you know very well,lol
LOL! Thank you for your great and kind words!!!!
Great 👍 video Kate n do a video of you driving the Ford if you can
Thank you for your kind words!!!!!!!!!!
Kate your dad is quite the character, he really does care about teaching you what he knows. You are great at absorbing the information and God bless you for your patience with him.
Love the videos and keep up the great work.
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!! You made my day!
You are so welcome, I do enjoy your videos and some days really miss farming.
Just a thought, but on your next video you my want to explain what summer fallow is. My guess is not a lot of people know what it is.
Oh thank you for the great suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" More complicated then reading the Bible in Latin" Dad Stephens.
Thank you for your comment.
Kate, I hope the fire damage wasn't too severe and I'm glad the wind changed to help get it under control. You, your Dad, Darcy and the rest of the crew - A great group of family. Thanks for sharing your day with them with us. Your Dad as gruff as he is :) is a great dad to you it seems. Love your channel and take care that bee sting!
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!! You made my day!!
Hallo kate nice video and you are a beautiful lady keep up the great videos 👏🏻🌾🌾
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like like like I'm super super excited 😄
LOL
Great video Kate keep them coming love to see what is going on in your part of the world cheers 💐💐 👍👍😁😁
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate it's so nice to see the relationship you have with your dad and the interest you show in the farm, so many young people today are leaving the family farms!!
And your really cute on top of all the other good qualities!!
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!
So, now all bearings have been lubricated, the filters cleaned and everyone is back to their work and I will now clean the air conditioning in the model building room, that has to be done too...yeah!!!!! 👍😃👍
LOL!!! Thank you for your awesome comment!!!! I just love your model farms and equipment. You are super talented!!!!!!
@@KatesAg thank you very much 👍👍
Good afternoon young lady. Glad to see everybody's doing well. Only worked half of the day. To hot to be out cutting timber. Take care and have a blessed weekend and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Thank you for your kind words and great story!!!!!!
AT 1:16 as you are walking in front of the combine are those small blades that cut and if so do they have to be changed often?
Thank you for your question. The small prongs just help feed the wheat into the header.
Its great your adad is teaching you to pick up on the subtle feedback the machines give…gives you a chance to adjust, if necessary before conditions worsen…many people just plow right through and don’t even realize when things aren’t right
Thank you for your great comment! I totally agree!
Sweet young lady. A rarity these days.
Thank you for your kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Kate! Greetings from Alberta! We used to run 9870's on our farm up here. FYI when you do your morning service keep a close eye on the engine fan for bearing play. The fan hub is known to fail, in fact it happened to one of ours. It's a very expensive fix. Okay just wanted to share something I know about them. Enjoy your videos, happy harvesting.
That is really awesome to learn!!!! Thank you so much for your story and kindness!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´m a bit disappointed that it seems you don´t do maintenance on your own rigs? Be it a combine, tractor, semi or whatever - the driver should always know their own equipment. The reason why, is that only the driver knows what noises have changed since the last greasing, the rattle that started two hours ago, and the squeaky noise from below the cabin. Greasing your machine is an excellent excuse to look at these things.
Thank you for your comment.
@@KatesAg Hehe, no -not this one, Kate ;) I would love to hear your take on it. Keep in mind that I still admire your reporter skills though - but I really need you to say whether you grease your own machines at least once in a while? If you don´t - just say so - and it´s an honest case.I won´t think any less of you - you obviously have other qualities.
I have greased my combine. My dad has a crew to do that because we also have to organize other things. We have a lot of acreage to cover!
@@KatesAg That´s cool - I´m not used to farms having their own maintenance crew, but I guess it could make sense to organize it like that if your operation is big enough. Thanks for your reply :)
Famous quote "you still have to think about whats going on.." lol
LOL!! Yes!!!! Thank you for your comment!
Kate I bought a 9600 like yours in 1990 and thought that was really modern. Now it is a lifetime from today's combines! Today's machines seem to have more issues than that 31 year old technology.
Thank you for your great story!!!!!
Kate your dad is very lucky with you.
Thank you!!! I am very grateful for my dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bonjour kate encore une très belle video merci à vous.je vous souhaite une très bonne continuation
Merci beaucoup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merci Kate grâce à la traduction en français je parviens à comprendre. Je suis impressionné par la gentillesse de toutes ces personnes formidables 👍... Courage à tous
Merci beaucoup!!!
I was dying when Katie's dad was growling and moving all over place. Especially pausing the video at 13.34 his facial expression!
LOL! Thank you for your great comment!!!
Kate your so good with those old timers. Those old country boys don't like to talk a lot.
LOL! True!!! Thank you.
You and your dad are going to cherish these moments later on in your life! I wish I could of and would of spent more time with my daughters as they grew up! That's the most I've your dad talk there in the last portion! I can see his passion for producing a good harvest and teaching his daughter! Love it!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and great inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate you are turning in to a real good combine driver . And your papa has good advice on the combine also. You can't beat good old farm people.
Thank you for your kind words!!!!
You can be very lucky with you're dad. He sounds like a great man.
Thank you for your kindness! I totally agree and am very grateful!
I like your video's, they are quite interesting for me, I am in the UK. Your uncle is quite wise to bring the discs a fire precaution. Keep up the hard work, you have learnt way more than you realize, there's so much to learn with farming, always problems in one way or another. You need to be a good problem solver, it keeps things interesting.
Thank for your kindness and great encouragement!!! You made my day!
We use mainly flex heads here in Nebraska on our combines for wheat and soybeans.
Thank you for the information. In Montana we have a bug called Saw Fly that destroys the stems of the wheat and we cannot pick it up with our straight cut headers. If we didn’t swath it first we would lose most of our crop. We would prefer not to swath but we have no choice.
Fully understandable alot of farmers in North Dakota swath their wheat, barley, and beans also. My father in law swaths all of his fields in Sheyenne North Dakota.
Great video again Kate thanks, there's certainly a lot to learn about your new combine, your dad sure has a dry sense of humour, thanks again stay safe keep smiling.
Thank you for your kind words and great encouragement!!!
Thanks for the interesting video and explanations.
Thank you for your amazing kindness!
I'm sorry you got stung by a bee even though it was almost two months ago. You seem to have handled it well. It is fascinating to see you learn about the new combine. Your Dad knows a lot. You know a lot.
Thank you for your kind words and wonderful comment
Good Afternoon Kate
There's a busy crew getting all the equipment ready in the mornings
I used to grease , fill , wash all the windows
I luckily didn't have to take care of the grain cart though. Your Dad is hilarious . I pray you & the other farmers were lucky enough not to lose all or most of their crops .
My boss had a truck with a 1500 gallon water tank in case of any fires and also used it when he sprayed the crops . This is a very interesting & funny video Thanks Kate for always brightening my day
Hi Mr. Carlton! Thank you for your great story and kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone was safe and not too much cropland was burned!
So good to see that your Dad has a feeling for his machinery. There's not many people nowadays that have what I call 'mechanical appreciation' and care about and look after their cars ,trucks and other stuff. Great to see your dad listening and feeling what his combine is doing and being sensitive to its stresses. Stuff lasts longer that way! Along with all the great maintenance you do every day too, of course. Do the duals on the new combine make a big difference?
Another great video. Really appreciate how you acknowledge everybody's comments: makes a subscriber feel very valued. Thank you for your hard work and effort.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words!!!! You made my day!!!
It's always nice to c u and your dad working together. He's straight to the point with a touch of ornery but in a good way. Lol
LOL! Yes I agree! Thank you for your kind comment!
Thank you ❤️ Have a Beautiful Evening ❤️
Thank you for your kind words!!!
Nother great video thanks for the great information about your harvest in Montana and all great tractor and combines keep up the great work you do on your farm
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!!! I appreciate them!
got a good laugh over the Bible and the combine book that was hilarious
Thank you for your comment. My Dad is a real character!!! LOL
As usual, another great video 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Great video Kate. I pray you stay on the farm as your a great operator. With your skill set the space shuttle would be a walk in the park. Thank you and enjoy your day
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful and kind words! You made my day!
Your dad is explaining all the technical things to you and then the full grain bin alarm beeps and he says “what was that?” That was really funny.
LOL! Thank you for your great comment!!!
The most important reason to keep that dust off the combines, especially the fine dust of soybeans, is that it's highly flammable next to a hot bearing.
Yes, exactly! Thank you for your great comment!
many responsibilities for you folks....thanks for sharing....and Best wishes to all of you👍
Thank you for your kind words!!!! I appreciate them!!!
The modern equipment is amazing i grew up on a daily farm we used the old row crop farmalls . Fires are scary glad you saved your crop!!
Thank you for your great story and kind words!
All I can say Kate you are amazing. I wish I had a daughter like you.
Thank you for your wonderful compliment!
I'd like to go there and meet Kate and dad and just sit down and listen to them talk. They have lots more smarts than they have time to tell here and I'd like to know more about how our food is grown and harvested..thanks to all
Thank you for your kind words!!!
