- Danger!!! Antique Grain Elevator Tour!!
I will show you my family's 1933 historic grain elevator at our Montana farm. In the first part my dad explains how everything worked and even where the antique trucks unloaded the grain. You will see the dangerous man lift and go right to the top of the old elevator. The Montana views are spectacular.
In the second part my Grandpa tells all about how he used to use the old grain elevator. Even where a big grain truck fell through the dumping station and tipped over inside the grain elevator. It was the only day he wasn't standing right beside the truck unloading. You will see all the signatures on the wall from the 1930's to today. My signature is there too. New windows are being installed in the elevator. My dad flies the drone over so you can see a bird's eye view of everything. Thank you for watching and be sure to ring the bell and subscribe to my channel.

My Story…
Hello. My name is Kate Stephens, and I am a 16-year-old 4th generation 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 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.
Kate is like a little fairy princess on the farm. She is so sweet and compelling that you want to follow her every step. I hope she enjoys some long periods of good health.
People that can build things are amazing. I was impressed with a neighbor's garden kit building.
Cherish all these moments. Lot of history around you.
Thank you for your fantastic comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally agree!!!!
This was fascinating to see the history of your great grandfathers grain elevator and how your grandfather, your dad and you are preserving it Kate !!!!!!
Thank you for your terrific comment and amazing kindness Mr. Elliott!
I love the history and your Father and Grandfather for explaining it.......❤🤠👍
I’m a news subscriber in my mid 70’s but while I laugh about Kate’s “egg” (odd pronunciation) I couldn’t figure out why I was captured by this channel! I’ve figured out that these segments are about family working together for everyone’s benefit. It’s also about good men! Real Montana men who work hard and deal with bad weather, machine breakdowns and doing it all under the Big Sky of Montana. But most of all I love Kate’s relationships with the men in her life AND her willingness to try new things under her dad’s watchful, patient but instructive care! I was raised in two farming communities and always loved big trucks and farming. Thanks for great segments on American eggriculture 😍!
LOL! Thank you for your kindness and great encouragement!!! You made my day!
@@KatesAg I'm glad I could return a little bit of how you've encouraged me. Tell your dad he's my hero! -- Tip
My heart just melted when you reached out and held your grandpa's arm! You are a beautiful, graceful and charming young woman Kate!
I've always wondered what it was like inside those old elevators. Very cool video!
It would have been hilarious if you had a special effect when your dad got on that man lift. Speed it up super fast, then show him at the top with smoke coming out of his ears. LOL
God Bless
Thank you so much for your kind words! I always help my Grandpa because he can always use an arm. He is 93. I'm so glad you liked the video. The elevator is really neat. I love the special effect idea!!! LOL I wish I would have thought of that. Great idea!!!!
@@KatesAg Oh, I know how much my kids like to joke at me and be silly, so ya know. Part of being a dad.
History is fun but Family history is lots more fun. It really ties the generations together.
Yes I agree! Thank you for your great comment!
Recently found your channel. Love how important family is to you , getting a history lesson from your Dad and Grandpa. This is how family should be 👍
I grew up on a farm and as a little boy, back in the 50s I can still remember my dad taking me with him to the grain elevators. I was always in awe of them. Then as an adult, I moved from Ontario to Calgary, Alberta and all the way driving out west, I loved looking at the old prairie grain elevators. Most people would be taking pictures of the scenery, I was taking pictures of the grain elevators. To this day, I am still fascinated by them. Your dad said in the video "old and decrepit", I think they are beautiful.
Thank you so much for your great story!!! I agree the grain elevators are beautiful on the landscape!!
Never a dull moment on the farm! Priceless!
Thank you for your kind words!
That Grain Elevator is huge your Grandpa was a hell of a builder
Thank you. It was my Great Grandpa who had it built in the 1930s.
Thank you again, this time for the very interesting historian "Antique Grain Elevator Tour". Your entusiasme to learn & teach us all are emazing and make us very happy.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Thank you Kate for your videos of farm life. I was fortunate to live on a farm growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I see how much technology has changed! Your old combine was just rolling off the line when I left farming to head off to university.
That moisture tester, in the grainery, was just like the one our neighbor had. Such cool antique technology of the past.
Every spring and fall I still get “farming fever” and wish I could find a farm to work on even just for a few days.
Thank you for the memories, and all you are doing to teach THIS era about where our food comes from!
Thanks, "Dad" for the photography and explanation of the operation of the elevator/bins and the man-lift. Outstanding!
Thank you so much for your wonderful kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Kate 👋🏽 The Elevator so awesome I just loved all the names that everyone wrote on the walls of the Elevator this video is so awesome thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for your wonderful kindness! I think the names are pretty neat too!
Your great grandpa was a genius building that!!!! 4 generations of farmers. Thank your family for helping to feed 4 generations of Americans
Thank you for your amazing kindness Mr. Joe!!!!
Wow Kate you have no idea the memories you opened up for me wow I use to love them man lifts they were awesome wow this is so very amazing thank you Kate for all your time it was absolutely magnificent I hope you do more because it’s so very very interesting and you Kate are absolutely magnificent god bless you my dear beautiful elevator I hope you can keep it forever and ever such memories all wonderful thank you so much Kate
Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful blessing! I hope so too!
Your a wonderful and caring and beautiful soul you don’t find many people like you especially your young age who have a passion for everything in life your family brought you up the way that people should be brought up and that you have very strong relationship with your family I enjoy every video and the history of places
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Love the tour of the old grain elevator.!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was an awsome video. I've always wondered how elevators directed grain two and from different bins. It was also great to see how things were done back in the old days. Keep em coming Kate.
Thank you so much for your kindness and great encouragement!!
You, my dear Kate, come from a long line of Incredible farmers. Geniuses level farmers!
To create a 100 plus year of grain elevator like this, that has stood the test of time in Montana, expose to the Montana elements is truly amazing!
Please do all you have to have your dad, uncles, Grandpa teach you as much as they can!
I love how you are documenting everything, and doing your very best to share with as many as you can!
Home stead farmers are a very different kind, and breed of person! Super smarter then your average people!
In homesteading you have to literally do everything! I know this because the Family my sister Tracey Married into is named Dunkleberg! They are a historical Canton, NY Family, they goes back 225 years of farming in NYS. They diary farmed up until the price of milk per lb dropped below $1.00 per lb on in NYS. That was back on the early 90s. So they switch to raising angus, and Holstein beef cows for meat.
At the moment their herd is 65. I spoke to my sister yesterday, and the price of calves is between $250.00 to $350.00 dollars. I love as you do workin g on the farm! The ability to do for yourself, to work the land, raise the animals for market, passion you see before your own eyes as things grow! Then you bring them to the market place. Sadly folks don’t appreciate where their food stuffs come from, and how they get to market!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for sharing all that you do so folks can learn!
How has the generations of women you are born into, truly impacted your life, what amazing lessons have you learned from them?
Please keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for your amazing kindness!
Always Kate, how is Cornell U life treating ya?
ua-cam.com/video/02jBUZL4hTQ/v-deo.html. Have you every done any trips to Big Sky, Montana Kate? This video is of Big Bud! It’s a 16V 747 tractor! The largest in the world.
Thank you so much for this. Grandpa even imitation of a Minnesotan was spot on. Ya Sure
LOL!! Thank you.
"We built that door too heavy" says grandpa while dad busts a hernia closing it. Cracked me up! Great video.
LOL!! Thank you for your hilarious comment and kind words!
I just love you kiddo. You make me smile all the time, but especially when you wave. It is just cuteness overload. Not sure how you are driving semis though. I was reading Montana law and you are not old enough to have a license. I know Wyoming, where I live, had a learners' permit that I used when I drove truck, but I was in my 20's.
Thank you for your kind words!
Tour family wonderful, your father attentive and detail- orientes your grandpa a love,also like them a lot
Thank you so much!
That's pretty Neat that Antique Elevator
Thank you.
Great technical monument. interesting and worth preserving.
Technisches Denkmal. 🇩🇪
Thank you for your kind words!!!!
A great history lesson with 3 generations of your family, it's great to see the building being preserved, it's like a museum piece, very interesting!
Thank you for your terrific comment and wonderful kindness!!!
I keep thinking….this last video was probably my favorite. Then I watch another and keep thinking the same thing after each one! You are a breath of fresh air and remind me of my daughter so much! It’s just a pleasure to see your enthusiasm for all things farming.
LOL!! Thank you so much for your kind words! You made my day!
The grain elevator is super cool. The way you change to different bins is ingenious. You can obviously tell that things were much smaller on the farm back in the day.
Thank you so much. I agree that way we change bins is really neat. Yes, our trucks were a lot smaller in the 1930s. It is hard to imagine.
Kate
Your dad can run a vlog on UA-cam
When he was up the Elevator
He held the camera very well and translated
It does it great
Grandpa is a boss
Kate, you're doing a great job showing us what the farm looks like
Thank you so much for your kindness! My dad is pretty good with the drone and the camera! You are correct. Grandpa is the boss for sure and we love him dearly.
Enjoyed the elevator tour and the sky view is beautiful and constantly changing there.
Thank you for your kind words!
This was a very good video. Working in an elevator was hard work and cold and dusty.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I totally agree that working in the elevator is a really tough job.
its hard to find something like this keep it in good shape young lady when it becomes yours
1933 wow... must have been state of the art...
Yes, I think you must be correct. I can't even imagine how beautiful it was when it was new!!! Thank you for your great comment.
The picture quality is amazing.. I love it when you say there is so much land in your area, then your Dad shows the drone picture to the horizon.. People are probably saying.. OMgosh ! Darn, no mice, I wanted to see you do the mouse dance again...haha
hahahahaha!!!! Yes the mouse dance was pretty funny!!!! Thank you for your wonderful kindness and huge compliment!
I love this. So glad you love history and are willing to share your history. I love my bag!
Thank you so much!!! You made my day to hear you love your tote bag and also love history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
A suggestion; sit your Dad & Granddad down inside the elevator and video them talking about "the good ol' days. You will have a video history of two of your closest family members. LEW
Thank you so much for the great suggestion!
Very nice, Kate, three generations together, the low sun adds great color, the Big Montana Sky, and your 50 foot long shadow. I loved the whole video. John in Wisconsin

@@KatesAg I've enjoyed all of your videos, Montana is so beautiful. This particular video reminded me of my late grandfather...when I was a little boy I used to ride in his old grain truck to the elevator in the fall to deliver the crops. I never had a behind the scenes tour of the elevator and of course I've always wondered how they work and thanks to you and your family I was able to finally see some of the inner workings of an elevator.
Nice video Kate! Interesting technology that worked very well I think. Good to see the new windows and upgrades to keep it going. Looks in good condition for years to come! Lots of history there!
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!!!!!!!
