- Disaster!! Digging Out Dirt & Last Day of Harvest 2021. Montana
Today's video is the last day of our Montana Wheat Harvest 2021. It is a disaster because not once, but twice, I ran my combine header into the dirt and rocks!!! I have never done that before. I had to dig my header out of the dirt. My Dad helped me and I was very sorry for breaking my combine down. I learned a lot and I couldn't finish the last of harvest because I had to drive my combine back home to drop the plate on the header and get the rest of the dirt out. I can say that when I plug my combine with dirt I really do it well! LOL I hope you enjoy my video! Thank you for watching!!!

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.

So nice to see a young girl listen to her dad the way Kate does.
Pops don't have gloves or he would help😆😆
Thank you for your kind words!
5:00 @@KatesAgnice cute bum too 🍑 ❤
Don't get to down on yourself. Everyday is a learning curve and you got a great teacher ( your dad) to help along the way.
Thank you for your kind words and wonderful encouragement!!!
My dad let me fix my own mistakes too. It's the best thing he ever did for me. It teaches responsibility.
Thank you! I totally agree!!!!!!
This happen to me a little over 50 yrs ago. The first time I run a combine by my self. I did not go 100 feet and plugged the combine. Dad never raised his voice. This how you unplug it. The combine was a 1959 model john deere 95.
Thank you for your wonderful story!!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it.
Hello Kate the first thing I do after I finished studying is watching your videos.
I know this problem wasn't needed especially at the end of a long and tiring harvest, but you faced the problem without hesitation and with determination.
For being the first time with this issue your reaction really hit me.
When I help my father to fix any problems in the combine I will take you as an example because this is how you react to a problem.
The sunset was awesome, I can't wait to see you in the next sowing video, stay safe and take care.
Thank you for your great story and amazing kindness!!! You made my day!!!!!
Those Tacos looked pretty good. Best dressed combine operator award.
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful comment! The tacos were delicious!
I watch other farmers harvesting and Kate's family sure knows how to do up lunch and dinner out in the field right! Look at it! They break out the table and line up the home cooked goodies like a buffet! The rest usually eat sandwiches, some sliced veggies and bags of chips like I do. Eating the better food like that will keep you healthier. Believe me. I'm finding that out more in my old age, wished that I ate a lot less junk food just because it was easier to do.
I noticed that her shirt had her wheat swath pattern on it just like her bag and also now her trademarked combine flag too!
Think to have taco dinner this Saturday.. yummy. Thank you bringing it up. 👍
Those tacos look very good and good luck with everything we're doing soybeans now
you better watch what you say on here, you may come off as creepy, they need to post the videos and turn comments off,or just do away with the channel altogether because a person is opening themselves up to the world on the internet, and what you post may be lost in translation, just saying... turn the comments off problem solved Farmer boy
My father changed out some sickle on the combine header, many years ago, he was in such a hurry he for got to pick up the 17 inch crescent wrench he was using. It went into the combine and did major damage, had to take the header off to fix it. After the Combine was fixed and fired up and running again, this big crescent wrench came flying out the back, the wrench was not straight, it was bent. My father said something like, How did that get in there? Seeing you clean out that combine header brought back those memories Kate. 😀
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful story and kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sunset was amazing, much like yourself Kate !
Thank you for your amazing kindness!!!!
@@KatesAg your just amazing mizzzz kate. :)
Making mistakes and learning from them also make you a great teacher :) Like your Dad a great teacher, caused he's done those mistakes before and learned from them. Keep the great video's coming :)
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words and great encouragement!!!!!
I happen to be somewhat of an armchair expert when it comes to Wrangler Jeans. It is my semi-professional opinion that these are among the nicest ones on TH-cam.
Kate you're a great combine driver and I look forward to seeing what happens next on your farm
Thank you for your kindness and super great encouragement!!!
Everyone who operates a combine gets the fun of unplugging the header. I don't understand how you stay so clean while cleaning out the combine. We are always covered in dirt afterwards. Happens to everyone at some point. I see the soil was very loose there, which compounds the problem. Your dad is super patient. There is a lot of stress involved with handling all that he has to handle.
LOL!! Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!
@@KatesAg Your butt on the thumbnail MADE me click... You're mean! =D
I'm amazed how you were able to keep your vest white digging out your combine all I have to do is look at dirt and I get dirty thats why I avoid white
LOL! Thank you for your great and hilarious comment!!!! LOL
I wasn't expecting the second clogging! : ( The field topography was a challenge. Sometimes you lose, but you learn. LOL Thank you for letting us experience an entire season of harvesting with you and your family. I've learned so much and can't wait to see what's next.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!! You made my day!
@Kate'sAg... Hello Kate from Scotland...I love this video another wonderful and informative video..
Kate you look fantastic
Hello from Montana thank you for your wonderful kindness
@@KatesAg your welcome it's always a great pleasure to watch and comment on your videos kate
You did a wonderful job with your combining we all get into places with our machines when you can’t see what lays ahead . Three years that’s wonderful Kate I wish I could’ve gotten trained in combining but I’m a 35 year truck driver and I really appreciate it. It would be nice to drive for your family but I’m quite busy here with corn harvest and soybean’s harvest. I pray every morning and night for all the wonderful farmers that are busy with our fields no fires and everything is safe and we all come back home safely each night. I really appreciate your time video taping for your big farm. 🤗🇺🇸😇🥰❤️🙏🤟🏻✌🏻
Thank you for your wonderful story and kind words! Your prayers are awesome too!!
Just remember there are not many people your age running a combine, and even fewer girls. You've done a fantastic job all harvest. The plugging is just part of the learning process and every decent combine driver will have plugged it at one point. And credit to you for getting stuck in and cleaning it out.
Thank you for your kind words and great encouragement!
Hi Kate, I was so inspired watching you dig dirt with your combine, that I went to my garden, digging potatoes, and pulling beets and carrots. Made a large batch of Russian Borsch. Love your videos !! I've plugged my combine cylinder with ragweed...really rough on sinuses when digging that out.
Farmer John in Wisconsin
Thank you for your kind words and great story!!! My mom said Borsch is delicious!!!!
I discovered your channel purely by chance 2 weeks ago...I am now fully addicted to the Montana wheat harvest!! It's actually your enthusiasm and fantastic personality that keeps me watching . Although I am a " city boy " , I do have rural roots as my grandparents were farmers ( mostly dairy ) and have exposure to the farm life . I sometimes wish I had followed that path in life. I enjoy running equipment such as the fork truck I drive every day in my job, but a bad butt combine like yours, that would be cool ..wow nice . Please keep educating us city folk, on the ups and downs ( plugged header times two ) ,on all it takes to feed the world really . Farmers deserve so much more credit than they are given and are far more educated than portrayed . I share your dads first name too and admire his ability to sternly train you ,while lovingly encouraging at the same time, qualities I'd like to feel I would also have . I look forward to more videos from a young and beautiful lady who simply wants to " edu Kate " ( see what I did there : ) anyone who will watch .. Thanks for your effort .
Thank you for your wonderful story and kindness!!! You made my day!
That beautiful sunset was God telling you that you have done an amazing job & He loves you so much Kate & has a fantastic future for you! Good job and we your audience are proud of you!
Thank you for your kindness!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!
Kate, you are lucky to have a great understanding farther, I thought it was great that he told you he has done it himself. What are your videos going to be about now the harvest is over.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!! Seeding is next!
Thank you for all you and your family do by keeping farming going and thank you for sharing your season with us.
God Bless and stay safe
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words and blessing!
Hi Kate. Congratulations on the superb quality and educational aspects of all of your videos. You are a very talented storyteller and it is fantastic you are able to collaborate with your Dad to bring to the public's attention the importance of the agricultural sector. How long ago did you first come up with the idea of making your Kate's Ag videos and are you surprised by the large number of people who have viewed them?
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words! You made my day! I came up with the idea last harvest when I learned from people I talked with that they had no idea how their food gets to the table or even how their shirts start out on a farm (cotton).
I can easily imagine what a long day it turned into with it getting plugged up twice, but you handled it with patience and grace! :)
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!!
Kate- remember -- the only people that don't make mistakes are people that don't do anything!!!
Thank you for your fantastic advice!!! You made my day!
Yeah did that once or twice myself unhook the header to get a lot of dirt in the feeder house
Thank you for your great story!
Keep up the good work!! The world needs more women like yourself that don’t mind manual labor, getting their hands dirty and working hard. Plus, you make it look good!!
Thank you for your amazing kindness and wonderful encouragement!!!!!
That was the most "Head Down, Bum Up" hard working video i've seen for a while. You like to do a "Plug" for your Tote bags and now you did a couple with your John Deere combine! It was a test of your temperament and it sounded like you nailed it! You will have frustrating days in the future as well, that is a certainty. Stay safe and keep that smile alive.
Thank you for your kind words!
My Dad was a Mechanic, worked on farm equipment, and carried a set of small whisk brooms with him to clean out the belts on combines. You are bring back memories of being in the fields in the fall.
Thank you for your wonderful story!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello little Kate, how are you? It's a bad day for you, the last of the harvest and you had to clean your hardvester. But your dad is always there to help you. Say hello to her dad for me. Have a nice day and take care of you. Thank you for all your videos.
Thank you for your kind words and wonderful encouragement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol, too funny that the others were teasing you about using the combine as a bulldozer. But you were a trooper and got right in there to clean it out.
LOL! Yes I guess I am also a bulldozer operator!!! LOL Thank you for your great comment!!!
She also flies a plane and drives a semi too! Versatile talents!
I never knew I liked watching farming so much. kates ag & millenial farmer are fun 😂🌞
LOL thank you for your wonderful and kind words
@laurafarms is pretty good also, Kate and Laura both speak clearly and use simple terms. ❤❤❤❤🇨🇦💐💐❤❤
We were potato harvesting once and a field mouse appeared in between spuds rocks and dirt, fair play I thought little tiny mouse living though the truma of going through a potato harvester , picked mouse up jumped off digger places mouse on ground gave me a lovely feeling till a kestrel spotted it ,😯
OH!!! That was so sweet, until the ending! LOL Thank you for your great story!
Blunders happen to help keep us humble because if it was always smooth sailing we would be apt to think that we're better than average. I made two expensive ones this week, I was trying to formulate a smart remark for one of my coworkers
Yes, I agree! Thank you for your great comment!
You are so lucky to have a very patient teacher, your Dad! Be is a walking storehouse of knowledge! I am sure he is very proud of you following in his footsteps! Keep um coming Kate!
Thank you for your amazing kindness Mr. Moratz!!! I am very grateful my Dad is teaching me so many things!
Those tacos look GOOD!! I think it's GREAT that your family gets together and eats GOOD food out in the field!! Too many people in a big hurry most of the time!! I also think it's GREAT that you have been running a combine for 3 years!! Most kids your age haven't even come close to that. Your Dad is cool!! He spends a lot of time teaching you AND he flies a drone!! Love your videos!!
Thank you for your wonderful amazingly kind words!!!!
I've been cutting grass all day (lots of acres and lots of breakdowns), so after the day I've had the sunset was fabulous. Thank you so much for the upload, Kate!! This video made my day!! Thanks again!!
Thank you so much for your kindness! You made my day!
Hey it’s not Wednesday I knew something was missing yesterday. Glad to see you and the crew made it through another harvest and all is well. Can’t wait to see what’s next. 👍👍👍
Do we get a hawk feather count??
Yes thank you for your patience! I had a lot of trouble with my computer and uploading!!! Thank you for your kindness and great encouragement too!!!
Just teasing a little. Your channel is my favorite.
Hi Kate thank you for showing us how hard you and your dad work so hard to get the wheat out of the field please dont upset yourself for plugging up your header we all have days when nothing seems to go right please take care and stay safe
Thank you for your kindness and great encouragement!
You tempted the combine gods by wearing a bright white vest.😁
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful and hilarious comment!!! You made my day!!!
And next time you will know, great job!! The other half of the fun, cleaning everything 😉 . You always do such a great job explaining everything Kate. I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
Thank you for your great comment and wonderful encouragement!!!!!
You and your combine, lol. It’s a match made in heaven.
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful comment!!!
you guys must be relieved to be at the end of the harvest. I always felt the same when we were done hauling the last of our bales and threw the last one on the stack. your dad is getting good at his drone work. good on you for digging in and cleaning out your header. and yes, that sunset was so beautiful.
Thank you for your kindness! I am very happy that harvest is over this year. It was really fun but very tired! Dad really is loving his drone!!!! I agree the sunset was amazing!
So today we saw combining, some hard work, and some geology exploration. Tacos for lunch, how good is that...delish...And what a sunset to top of the day off. Magnificent.
Thank you 🙏 🇦🇺🇺🇲
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!
Love watching you with your dad. I can tell he raised you well from how polite you are. Kudos to him. As a small farmer I like seeing how you big farmers do things.
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words
Oh Katy Kate Kate 😳 Don't you worry kiddo you did a great job digging out that header it comes with the job sometimes you just got to get dirty and by the way you didn't even get dirty 🤔 How in the world did you pull that one off 😂 You dove into that header and came out shiny as a new penny I call that an achievement. 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍 Great video Kate!!!!!
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!! I am not really sure how my white vest stayed white!!!!! LOL
@@KatesAg I don't know how you kept that vest white either 🤔 You must be an angel 😁
Well Kate you might not have finished the last rows but you were out there working the harvest when most of them were broke down as I recall great job
this year you are a credit to you gender.
Yes that is true! I was the only lonely combine in the field most of harvest!!! LOL Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!
Declogging! A dirty job done with grace and style...and pearl earrings! Well done!
LOL!! Thank you for your great and wonderful words!!!!
Best dad and daughter team ever
Thank you for your wonderful kindness! You made my day!
Doing small mistankes , being able to laugh at you’re selv , learning from mistakes: This is life ! You Are a clever girl.
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!!!!!!! You made my day!!!
Further to my previous comment: according to NASD Agri Engineering they say: "Don't rely on the hydraulic system for support when working under the machine header. Always use the stops or supports provided on the machine. If no safety device is provided, block the header securely".
Thank you for your great advice!
Hey Kate.. just something I wanted to point out to you that you might want to watch yourself on. At 10:00 min I noticed when you were slowing down you pulled the hydrostat lever back past neutral when you were still going forward.. You can cause some nasty high pressures in the hydraulic system doing that. You only want to gradually pull it back and not go into reverse until youre stopped. Just want to save you from a headache and keep from blowing some seals or a hydraulic line.
I really like watching youre videos. Good job girl! 😊👍
Thank you for your great advice and kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate, you are very funny, funny when listening to your Dad 😜
LOL! Thank you for your great comment!
The pleasures of combining, Kate😊
LOL! Yes I agree! Thank you!
Auch die schönste Ernte ist mal zu Ende 🚜 Viel Erfolg dann für das nächste Jahr! Der atemberaubende Sonnenuntergang entschädigt für den harten Arbeitstag. 🧑🌾🧑🔧🙋🇩🇪
Ja, ich stimme voll und ganz zu! Der Sonnenuntergang entschädigt für den schwierigen Tag! Danke für deine wundervollen und lieben Worte!
O my goodness Kate that was so crazy it was awesome you could fit way back in there to clean it so proud of you another thing was that you kept smiling and at the end of the day there was a Beautiful sunset 🙌🏽
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!
Just came across your channel watching Laura Farms. Great content. Love the farm gear. I thought farming was easy because of the heavy equipment involved but it truly is much harder then it looks. Keep the awesome videos coming. Would love to see more of the farm and surrounding areas. It would also be awesome if you put a camera up for live streaming just a plain areas of the farm for weather rolling through. You could probably catch some amazing footage that millions on youtube would live to watch just rolling weather through a farm.
U hit the nail on the head
Thank you for your kind words and great suggestion.
You still learning so this kind of mistakes are normal,and your dad is awsome guy who always supports you and helping you,this is the most important thing.
In a few years you would be a pro farmer with wide range of knowledge in operating this heavy machinery,so just keep it up with good job and nice and interesting videos.
Your amazing personality is very rare in this harsh world so just stay like that!
Thank you so much for your amazing kindness and great encouragement! You made my day!
@@KatesAg yw Kate
Kate your dad should be a comedian! He's hilarious!
LOL!! I agree!!!!
I am glad to see you and your dad working together so well. some young folks think they don't need to be told anything, but no matter how old we get, we can still learn.
Yes I totally agree! I learn new things everyday and I really love that!!! Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate that's usually how it goes everything waits till the last day. You did great. Now comes the joy of cleaning everything 😂😂. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Yes I agree! The last day is really full of excitement!!! LOL Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!
Yes, and it’s the same way in aviation. That very last flight home, boom, cargo door indicates not shut. Their is weather to fly around, you run out of legal time on duty.
Talk about the money shot while working on the header....lol....your cute👍
Thank you for your kindness Mr. Munoz!
You are extremely conscientious, working very hard to help harvest the crops and having to repair the equipment...and then answering all of these hundreds of comments on youtube (which almost no other content creator does.) You are extremely gracious, too. Don't feel like you have to do everything. Don't respond to my comment...you're too busy. Best wishes!!
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!! You made my day!
As someone who grew up rural, saw a little bit of the country, and now lives in a town, watching your videos is a breath of fresh air, and makes me realize how much I miss about living in the country. As you get older it is great to explore the world and get new experiences, but sometimes it's better to live the life you're living, away from the demands of urban society. I'm sure you deal with your share of problems with equipment, crop prices, etc, but there is something to be said for the freedom you have too. I like your videos. You do a great job.
Thank you for your great story and kind words!!! I agree the country is pretty good.
Great video young Kate, I really like your Dad he is super cool, he is always there helping you, the experience your Dad has, will be given down to you and your Children, Kate your a very lucky young Lady, I think your Dad & Grandpa & Uncle just loves you to pieces, it shows in the videos, don't worry about the clog up, its just part & parcel of Farming life , this experience you will remember through life, and the joy of having your Father there to help you through, once again bute video, Regards & Best Wishes for a wonderful Harvest 2021, Cheers for now, have a Great time Trevor.W.Bacelli, Biloela Qld Australia.
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!! You made my day!!!!!
Great video Kate! You did a great job throughout the season! You can be proud of that!
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!
that dirt will go through the machine for the most part.. or at least on our machines we just feed more crop in to clean it lol
LOL! Thank you for your great story!
Almost like you need a battery canister vac on board! And a wisk and dust pan! Love your channel Kate! 👍🏼❤️
So much appreciate your comments my dear beautiful friend my is James Luke what is your name
LOL! Yes a vacuum would be amazing!!!! Thank you so much for your kindness!!!!!
Congratulations! on finishing. Yes you're not alone I have had to dig out my header too. In 2019 we were harvesting brown mustard that had been snowed on. The crop was flat, and when you touched the ground the header would fill with mud. It finally got to the point where we just set the header off the combineevery time, and cleaned it out from behind.
Thank you for your kindness and wonderful story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't be too hard on yourself Kate, we're all human. Consider it an experience and a life lesson, you've gone through it and now you know how to deal with it. Great sunset to end harvest season!
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words and great encouragement!!!!!
(Kate)... "I have more gloves in the cab if you want " (your dads response)... "I don't care, just dig". Lol.
hahahaha!!!! Thank you for your terrific comment!!!!!
Good job kate stop laying around. Funniest comment of the year. Well done, everybody has some tough days.
LOL!!! Yes I agree!!! thank you for your great comment and kindness!!
You need a giant shop vac to help with those dirt-y chores.! Keep up the good work. Maybe when we eat some pasta we can say "you know Kate probably save us from some dirt in our pasta! lol.
LOL! Thank you for your hilarious and kind words!!!! Great suggestion too!!!!!
Thank you for troubleshooting the issue. You teach us all a lot especially this city slicker. God Bless!!
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words and blessing!
Just another day learning, we learn from our mistakes, at least you know how to clean header out.
Yes I agree! Thank you for your great comment!
I had to watch again, very very nice!😍😍😍❤️
Thank you for your kindness!
Greetings from Ireland', harvest over for another year,i would think that dirt and rocks clogging up the combine happens to all drivers from time to time, part of the job,u did a great job all during the harvest, great videos,
Thank you for your kind words!!! I am getting good at harvesting dirt! LOL
Just a friendly reminder, a combine is not a potato digger 🤣
How about just skipping the last day of harvest every year, then things should be fine 🤔🤣
Glad that the harvest season went pretty well. Now I guess it's time for cleanup and hoping for good prices on the grains doing the sales season.
LOL!!! Thank you for your great and kind words!!!
Still learning the combine. This kind of thing always happens with ANY machinery, large or small. You’re very patient and it would seem you’d like to rip that cb radio out and be left undisturbed ! Your Dad is a patient guy, he loves having you work with him. And after a tough day, you still appreciate God’s gifts to us. Great video !
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!! I am so very grateful for all the wonderful opportunities I have!!!!!
Just shows that even the most experienced "drivers" will at times have situations that they've never done before! YOU go girl! But there is good news with this, your Dad was there to assist you and reassure you, you understand that stuff happens no matter how careful you are, and just use a good attitude to get the "repair" done. I really appreciate your videos.
Thank you for your kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate, it was so scary watching you climb into that machine! Was the key even removed to prevent start up? Are there E-Stops and other lock out procedures to be followed before entering the machinery? There must be. I hope they were followed, if not you need to be trained properly. Love the videos and and learning about grain farming. Love your positive attitude!
Thank you for your kind words and great advice
Grow up dude, her dad was there with her and I am sure he would put her into a dangerous situation!!!
This was a interesting, fun and beautiful video:)
Thank you so much!
That's how I'm learning. I'm glad it's not a lot of trouble. My voice is getting smaller with a sense of guilt. Still, I really like your bright voice.
Thank you for your great story and kind words!!!!
It's not good to get overwhelmed with guilt. God gives us second chances! :)
@@JonathanGillies thank you
Hi, Kate and happy Thursday in Montana!😊😊😊😊😊. I am so glad that the combine is working once again when the dirt and rock got stuck inside on your machine. So...yeah. Well done!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Also, you're one second away for reaching the 50,000 subscribers mark! Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!😊😙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Thank you so much for your kindness and great encouragement!!! I am very grateful for all my subscribers!!! It is a big honor.
@@KatesAg You're welcome!😊💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. And to you, Kate, you're a hard workin lady with great talent and teamwork altogether.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Fine! Kate learned how to service the harvester. A little more, and she won't need a command. She can handle everything herself.
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words and great encouragement!!!
Montana is so very Beautyful
Thank you! I agree!
Ya sure make a pair of Wranglers look good!
Thank you.
Love the flag on the combine. If you clean out all the elevators and augers on those combines before parking them up, you will flush out the last few subscribers to get over the line on 50K. You've had a great harvest.
Tacos for dinner in the field? Back in the 1960s it was a flask of "Camp" coffee, with condensed milk in it and a big lump of fruit cake that the farmers wife had cooked with couple of dozen cracked eggs from the previous days egg collection. (Enough calories to last rest of the day.)
Thank you for your great story!!!!
Excellent job Kate. Sometimes problems in the field do happen. I like the fact you're willing to get in and fox the problem.
Nice pun Lawrence! You inferring she was digging in the dirt like a fox. Or was that autocorrects sense of humor?
@Lawrence Ornelas Thank you for your kind words!!!
@Earl Hollar Mr. Hollar you are hilarious!!!!!
Your agriculture machine's hi tech. Sana All
Thank you for your great comment!
Glad your harvest came in well. That's a lot of header to keep watch over when the field isn't level. Plugs can happen fast. I remember that my uncle always carried a wood handle straw broom on his combine to help clear debris from dirt, cuttings, plugs, etc (Material always collects somewhere it's not wanted) ...anyway, just a thought.
Hope they come up with an answer for the saw fly that causes so much damage to wheat. Do you know if they are making any progress in controlling them?
Thank you for your kind words and wonderful story!!! I hope they make progress with the Saw Flies too!
when you feel bad about plugging up the combine, just remember there is a reason your Dad knows how to unplug it! It is a right of passage.
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful comment!!!! You made my day!
I have been where you are . Our bean harvest has just begun after a $17,000. repair bill on the combine. Our renter will be working late tonight until dew dampens the beans because a storm from Wyoming may give us wind and hail by tomorrow evening.Steady 50 MPH wind and clearing will be hear on Wed. I Like snow but the up to 10 inches forecast for high ground in Wy and southern Mont would make our beans un happy, Drought hurt our yields last year but three storms hit us in June and Sept to give us just enough water to give a good crop so far.
Congratulations on finishing your harvest.
Thank you for your great story and kind words! It is really tough with the weather and the drought has been hard for all farmers here. I'm glad you got some moisture because that is awesome!!
Don't feel bad Kate this happens to everyone. I have really enjoyed your harvest this year. Hope to see next years too.😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for your kind words and great encouragement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed watching you clean out the header...😲😊
@dave davis Hate to think she wouldn't..
Thank you!!
@@KatesAg You are very welcome from down south in Alabama.
Greetings from Poland😜I love you😍
Hello from Montana! Thank you!
Can you please tell me how farmers can keep semis to online use 1 month out of the year? Do you use a tractor and a grain cart instead of just driving the semi up into the field to reduce damage to the ground or for other reasons as well. Thank you, for you channel, I love learning about farming...
Thank you for your great question. We use our semi-trucks throughout the year because we do not sell our grain all at once right after harvest. We store our grain in our many grain bins and wait for good prices before we sell. Not all farmers do that. Some sell all their grain right away. We use the tractor and cart to take the harvested grain out of the field because our semi-trucks can't get into the fields and also because there is a higher risk of fire driving a semi-truck into a field. That is why we have to be sure that the semi-trucks stay at the edge of the field.
@@KatesAg thank you, that makes good sense. May I ask how long have you been farming? You always seem so cool under pressure!
Don’t feel sad God is watching over you and your family. We had jump in the cornhead when combining corn by a tree line we called dnr and they said we can put deer down. Everyone has a bummer day always smile. You are doing a great job I learn a lot from you.
Thank you for your kindness! I'm very sorry to hear about the deer!
@@KatesAg it happened so quick so we will process the deer donate meat to charity.
@@KatesAg when is your very very happy bday?
Digging dirt happens to the best of us, even with floating headers and contour following high tech equipment. A header setting for field A might not work on field B if the soil is a little softer etc etc.... Good job Kate, hope your harvest was a decent one and if it was a little bit disappointing, don't worry, there's always next year. Best wishes from The Netherlands.
Thank you for the great information and your kind words!!!!
