and don't forget all the old timers that did this with out all this nice equipment, breathing all this dust and sitting in the heat and hot sun all day
Thanks guys for showing how much it takes to put the food we eat on the table. As a son of a farmer and grandson of many farmers, they just don't get enough credit for how hard they work. Very well done.
The subject IS the Grace God shed on all of us. From the land to those who work it, you guys have truly captured a necessary and very well executed function. The weather days and dogs are the icing. These vids, the work, and the surrounding culture in them are what make America exceptional. Stand back and be amazed at what we do.
What a great video. Reminds me of growing up Near Maize,Ks and watching the harvest around that area. My Dad and Uncle ran an 8 combine crew in the early 50's from Texas to Canada and with 14' and 16' heads can't imagine the time it took on some of the bigger fields as compared today with the heads being as large as 45'. Loved to see in one of your videos of the kids playing in the grain hauler- I used to do the same thing myself. Brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks and God Bless!
I have always thought that the petting of the whales was the best video....BUT this one is by far my favorite. Thankful for the American Farmer. Hard work, honesty, that you just don't see a lot of anymore.
Fantastic job with the "movie" and all the Kansas videos. We loved them! I'm a girl who was born onto an 8k acre Eastern Washington wheat & cattle ranch and it's fantastic to see such a terrific video that reminds us all where our food comes from. You should try to share it with farming organizations and sites.
LOVE the farm. So enjoying the wheat harvest and workings of a farm. Never seen anything like this before. Good to know where some of our food comes from. This movie is amazing! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into making this and all you share, I feel so blessed.
Nother great post. It amazes me how peaceful and relaxing it can be watching good people hard at work. When you get tired of RV'n and/or need a break, you could always work privately/military as a drone operator.
Ohh hey, I've meaning to ask, semi tongue in cheek, have you ever asked, or talked about 'crop circles' with her folks, i'd interested to hear if they have even given it a thought:)
Just found your channel & watching from the UK. I can watch this all day and never be bored from it. I wish I was a farmer, especially in America. God Bless you & your lovely family. Tally ho chaps.
Very well done!! This video is a great tribute to your FIL, his farm, and Stafford. Thank you for sharing yet another part of your life with us. God Bless the American Farmer. Hugs, Sandy and Jay Livesay
Good video. I liked the music too . What a welcome change from all the same old hard rock pop country sound tracks. It gets a person thinking, a lot like you do when you're actually out there running the equipment. Wheat harvest ---- the best time of year !
I have seen combines loading directly into semis in fields in southern Missouri. It does require dry fields for that. I love seeing what I call "heartland America".
Enjoyed the video and it's nice to see family all working together. Small town life is a great thing and togetherness keeps life going. Looking forward to following you back to AK. I hope to make that trip in the next two years.
WOW!!! Well done. I believe I got most if not all of the harvest series, but there were shots that were not in the vids. I really enjoyed the movie. I know the family will enjoy it for years to come since these types of shots have not been provided to them. I know that they were happy to see you arrive and sad to see you go. Be safe on your travels to AK.
You should be really proud of this production! An excellent documentary. Great musical accompaniment. Wonderful aerial shots. For me, it is your best yet. John Deere should feature this one. Go USA!
Anyone out there recall DC & DO Parker (Kansas Custom Combiners)in the late '50's & 60's? I was a young 15 year old in a Massey w/o a cab & only 14-16 ft Headers. Thought it was a load of fun going from Texas into Canada each Year.
Superb video! Thanks for sharing the footage and the harvest process with us. I was fascinated with this series. Some of my favorite drone work in this one. Loved it!
Was a wonderful video!! I am sure Rebecca was sad to leave. I know the video brought back memories for when I was young working on the ranch in South Dakota. I know Alaska calls but it put a lump in my throat for the goodbye's.
Not to many folks know of the area. I just got back from 5 miles north of Plevna helping my family harvest last week. Those rains went around us and we only got drops.
Really, really enjoyed this. Well done, plushaving spent my teen years out west, it made me homesick for the wheat fields of the Prairies (Saskatchewan for us Canadians ;)
Wow!!! That was a really good video, we thought it might be a little boring LOL We love the night footage of the harvest machine with all of the lights on, very cool!!!
Wow Ben! You produced a documentary short. From a viewers perspective it is definitely worth all the effort you must have put into it. A little piece of middle American farm life. so good!! Did you really already leave the farm? the last scene was bittersweet. Thanks Ben and Rebecca for this series.
Why don't the combines load the tractor trailers directly? I seem to remember seeing photos of that when I was much younger. It just seems to me be more efficient .
We just got through passing through western Kansas up to Nebraska and on to South Dakota. The wheat harvest was over but enjoyed your video. I noticed the harvesting machine sprayed the stalks fanned out in back. Is it left there for fertilizer or is it raked and baled?
I've enjoyed your harvest coverage. Thanks for sharing. I have two questions. First, did your drone survive your run in with the wires? Second, how much wheat did your Dad have in the end?
Great video! What are you using for camera equipment? Growing up in the midwest and being in film production I'm always looking for the next travel adventure that I sometimes forget how great the harvest season is that goes on right in my backyard!
"(Luke 10:2) Then he said to them: “Yes, the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest." .... Of course the harvest in Luke 10:2 is looking for right hearted ones in the door to door work before the end of this system comes. .... "(Matthew 13:37-43) In response he said: “The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; 38 the field is the world. As for the fine seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom, but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. 40 Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears listen."
What software do you use to create your movies? I took similar footage this year of our family's harvest and how your videos are stitched together is sweet. Was curious if it was a free application or paid for? And again, great video.
I am flying an Autel X-Star Premium for my aerial footage, check out my harvest vid on my channel! Keep up the great work... both farming and flying....LOL
What kind of drone are you using? I've only seen a few of your videos and don't know if you've mentioned the particulars about the drone/camera. Sure makes spiffy videos and adds to your offerings on youtube. Thanks for any info.
...really enjoyed your rv travels...and that harvesting series was top flight....use of your drone was awesome...wish you both the best...you were not far from me when you slide on the turn off in New Mexico... rewatched the video since I wrote and eyeballed the close-up & was able to find one that looked the same...you verified my guess. Thanks.

I'm a wheat farmer and I never get tired of watching videos such as these...
Very well done. We all need to be grateful for the hard work of farmers.
and don't forget all the old timers that did this with out all this nice equipment, breathing all this dust and sitting in the heat and hot sun all day

I've drove by that shop many times. Glad to finally know who it belongs to. God bless. I hope your harvest was as bountiful as ours

I started crying as you drove out of the yard. I have enjoyed watching the last couple weeks.
LOVE the farm. So enjoying the wheat harvest and workings of a farm. Never seen anything like this before. Good to know where some of our food comes from. This movie is amazing! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into making this and all you share, I feel so blessed.
Nice wrap up. Thank you and thank Steve for allowing you to share it with us.
you make me homesick every time you film in Stafford. i'll always be a kansas boy!
That machinery is amazing. Farmers don't get to clock out at 5:30. My hats off to them for their hard work
Agreed! Thats why I decided to make a drone video to show all their hard work. Thank God for the farmer.
This is just brilliant can't stop watching it. You just can't beat this. 👌🌾🌾🌾

Tally ho chaps.
Love it, thankful for those who are in the heartland of America, May God bless you and God bless America. Happy Fourth of July!
Love you guys. Happy Travels. My eyes are full of tears with memories of my Dad's "Whiteface Hereford" Cattle Ranch in Ohio.
Very well done!! This video is a great tribute to your FIL, his farm, and Stafford. Thank you for sharing yet another part of your life with us. God Bless the American Farmer.

A very enjoyable video. I wish that more folks we're able to see your creative talents. I do look forward to your next video.
I love central Kansas that is where I'M from ! I LOVE OUR KANSAS HERITAGE !
Hard to leave I bet, especially for Rebecca. Really Really neat stuff thanks
It is so nice that you are there to help out! Hard work and humidity!! Take care 😰
Enjoyed the video and it's nice to see family all working together. Small town life is a great thing and togetherness keeps life going. Looking forward to following you back to AK. I hope to make that trip in the next two years.
Man that's nice to come home after harvest and fish in a pond. To dry in the area that I live for ponds like that.
I watch a lot of videos, you're are very good THANKS! ,when we were kids we used to catch lighting bugs in a jar watch them light up
Brilliant movie - awesome music too!
great movie! I have a lot of respect for farmers!
Very interesting. I am a city girl and have never witnessed how all of it is done. It is certainly a well tuned operation for sure.
Two thumbs up for "Harvest 2017"
WOW!!! Well done. I believe I got most if not all of the harvest series, but there were shots that were not in the vids. I really enjoyed the movie.

This was really neat. Enjoyed this "movie" on the harvest! Great job! Safe travels back to Alaska.
Not to many folks know of the area. I just got back from 5 miles north of Plevna helping my family harvest last week. Those rains went around us and we only got drops.
Really, really enjoyed this. Well done, plushaving spent my teen years out west, it made me homesick for the wheat fields of the Prairies (Saskatchewan for us Canadians ;)
Fantastic! Just mesmerizing to watch!
very well done love the area shots of the combine that's awesome
Very nice you two! I bet you're sad to leave but glad to be back on the road again heading to AK. I'll be following you all the way. Safe travels.
Great footage, we are just finishing up harvest on our farm and hope to have some footage to upload soon! thanks for sharing.
Wow!!! That was a really good video, we thought it might be a little boring LOL We love the night footage of the harvest machine with all of the lights on, very cool!!!
We love your videos and never miss one but figured how exciting could a wheat harvest movie be LOL
CampingwiththeKellys iI'm
Well done sir !! You guys drive very straight for not having autosteer on the 2 combines !!
Ben this video is so awesome and guys did a great job I know is hard work but you got it under control thanks for sharing
Well done video!
BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY
WOW!! Inspired...thanks for all the effort. This one will be on my favorite list.

If you want to really feel the humidity come to Mississippi. 100% humidity with low of 80 during the summer! Everyone needs some Mississippi
Wow Ben! You produced a documentary short. From a viewers perspective it is definitely worth all the effort you must have put into it. A little piece of middle American farm life. so good!!
Did you really already leave the farm? the last scene was bittersweet. Thanks Ben and Rebecca for this series.
Beautiful Thank you
Interesting stuff y'all, can you tell me how many acres of land and how much wheat y'all get.
I was raised in Kansas. The farmers were always centered and seemed to have their shut together. Combines ARE america
9650 or 9660 walker? either way, LOVE seeing guys still running walkers!
awesome video..
Why don't the combines load the tractor trailers directly? I seem to remember seeing photos of that when I was much younger. It just seems to me be more efficient .
We just got through passing through western Kansas up to Nebraska and on to South Dakota. The wheat harvest was over but enjoyed your video. I noticed the harvesting machine sprayed the stalks fanned out in back. Is it left there for fertilizer or is it raked and baled?
I noticed the header is offset to the combine. Does the feeder house have and attachment?
your a true farmer you should do this full time not living in a rv keep up more vids like this
4 thumbs up .
Wondering what the yield in bushels per acre?
Done well Thank you!
I've enjoyed your harvest coverage. Thanks for sharing. I have two questions. First, did your drone survive your run in with the wires? Second, how much wheat did your Dad have in the end?
How did you get a header offset like that.
Great video! What are you using for camera equipment? Growing up in the midwest and being in film production I'm always looking for the next travel adventure that I sometimes forget how great the harvest season is that goes on right in my backyard!
great video ,,, never seen a off set header before whats the advantage of it ? (England ) or is it just the camera angle...
It looks offset to me also. Never seen that.
making unloading easier ??
Very nice.
Nice!
