- 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.
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.
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.
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 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!!
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.
I love the history and your Father and Grandfather for explaining it.......❤🤠👍
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 👍
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!!!!
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!
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!
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!!!
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!
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!
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!
That was a nice piece of history right there . I hope that it is possible to keep up without spending too much resources .
Thank you so much. I hope we can keep it forever!!!
"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!

That building is awesome Kate!

The farmers were so inventive back then. Amazing how things are similar today, just more advanced. I have seen those old grain elevators around but never saw the inside. Thanks for the tour.

Great tour Kate!!! A lot of history. You can bring your kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, etc. for tours in the years to come. Don't forget to write today's date on the wall and sign it. You could say that the grain elevator saw its first drone today.
Thank you so much for your kindness and terrific idea. Yes, the elevator did see its first drone!! That is awesome!!!
Love elevators, thanks for the tour
Thank you for your wonderful kindness Mr. Bressler!
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!

I think I recognize Square Butte in the background. I sure miss living in Great Falls.
Thank you for your story. Square Butte is about 70 miles from us. You might be seeing the "Knees" in the video.
Fascinating, thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for your kind words!
Wow that's really neat the elevator
Thank you!
Awesome video tour!!! thank you so much for taking the time to create and share this
Thank you so much for your kindness! I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@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.
This was so informative -- best yet -- and I've watched a lot of videos about grain elevators. You and your family are amazing!
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!! You made my day!!!
So nice to see such a young farmer like you, it shows that not all of our food will come from China. Keep it up and God will bless your family
Thank you so much for your kindness!
Kate that was a very interesting and informative. learned a lot. Thank you.
Very cool history love the story
Thank you for your kindness!!!!
On my recent trip through Montana I saw these old elevators so this is so interesting seeing this history. Where I'm from Mpls which was where all that Wheat went to and Mpls was known as the Bread Basket of the United States.
That is really interesting! Thank you.
❤ sorry i missed this video. But i enjoyed it, thank you Kate
Waooo el lugar más hermoso que es visto, bendiciones para ti y tu familia.
¡Gracias por su increíble amabilidad!
Kate . I used to haul grain into an elevator that was a smaller than your Great Grandfather built ,, of course the trucks were smaller back then , to dump the grain there was a lift on cables to raise the front of the truck to dump it . I also took a pick up to the same place , the pick up was easier to drive into the place where the pit was located .. I have tons of stories that I can tell you about when I farmed from 1960 until 2000 ....
Thank you so much for your great story!! That is really interesting. What types of crops did you grow?
@@KatesAg When hauling to that small elevator was just took wheat ...
@@KatesAg We stored the milo in a bin for later. I can't remember where the soybeans were taken ..
Now the last man I worked for has his own elevator in town and several grain bins on his farm .. I would love to harvest wheat in your huge fields , the largest I've harvested was 600 acres .. What was nice it was level instead of having terraces . We even unloaded on a semi on the go ...
Beautiful Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You guys are very interesting ,kate you have agreat personality for doing these videos.👍
Thank you for your kind words!
Kate, The photography in this video is outstanding! beautiful scenery. Good job. Additionally, I loved the history lesson and seeing old ways of farming and weighing wheat.
Thank you for your kindness!!! It really is beautiful and I love history too!
Great technical monument. interesting and worth preserving.
Technisches Denkmal. 🇩🇪
Thank you for your kind words!!!!
You are very sweet Katey. God bless.
Thank you so much for your kind words and blessing!
This was amazing, i love this stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!
Great video. Fun seeing how they used to make things work without computers and electronics. Maybe we will go back to that one day.
Thank you so much! Yes, it is a lot different than the new grain elevator we deliver our wheat to. The old days would be a big change for sure!
hello Kate from Kentucky I really enjoyed the tour of the old elevator love it love it thanks for sharing with us can't wait till the next video
Hello from Montana! Thank you so much for your kindness!

Thank you so much for your kind words.
Kate is very Kool
Wow Kate, I live in the UK and have seen so many pictures/videos of elevators in the US but never seen the inside. It is so interesting to learn all the inner workings of this elevator and it's history. Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. Ps, Subbed.

Greetings from Maine...Another great video Kate!! I love to learn about how things were done back in earlier times and i think it is great that your family is
trying to preserve some of that history. Looking forward to the next video, keep up the great work!!
Hello from Montana. Thank you for your kind words. I love to learn about the old days too! I appreciate your encouragement!!
You are such a cool vibe!!!!❤ I've seen the elevators on ghost town video's, so it was surprisingly interesting to see one still active! Soooooooooooo cool!!! Was curious to know how they worked so thanks for making this video! Many blessings to you and you4 family! All the way from me and mine in New Zealand
Nice video miss Katie
Thank you!!!
Awesome. My dream is to own a big farm house with dozens types of animals and birds. With very little home for me and more space for birds & animals. Good luck for the good job.
Thank you so much for your kind words and great story!
Thank you miss stephens for your kindness and your feed back you can tell me any time to mind my own if know what I mean sorry for asking about school it not my bus sorry
LOL Thank you for your kindness Mr. Martion!!!
Great video Kate! You and your dad make a great You Tube team!!
Thank you so much! I will let dad know and he will smile!
Watching you FromWashington Court House, Ohio Kate
Hello from Montana! Thank you so much.
Just be careful when you're climbing around up there!
Doesn't look pretty safe... 😯
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Thank you for your kind words!
Nice interior shot of a disc separator! I like the scale in the loadout too. I liked the clips from the head house showing the elevator head (gerber) and the distributor. I also like the man lift. There is a belt type man lift at the mill. The elevator at the mill has an enclosed man lift, much like the one a ride at the seed company a few years ago.
Thank you for your great information and kind words.
Como manija tu padre dron, todo un profesional jejej
Sí, mi papá ama ese dron
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!!
Nice video kate
Thank you so much!!
Amo teus videos❤❤❤❤😎eita moça.
Obrigado!
Love your enthusiasm Kate!! Love how you appreciate what you have and where you live!! 😊
You are a lucky girl!! 😊
Also love to see a young women active in the work!! 😊 Keep up the awesome work!! 😊
Will you be the next generation to take over the farm from your Dad?
Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement. My dad is still farming and I have to go to university.
@@KatesAg What do you plan on studying in University? 😊
Stoked that you plan on getting a University education!! 👌😊
Thank you. I'm going to study business and law.
@@KatesAg Proud of You!! I am doing the same!! Getting a MBA will allow you to do so much!! I also have specialized in Accounting!! I also have enjoyed law and have taken more of it in my business degree!!
Definately the right stuff to study that will allow you to go where you want in life!!
Are you interested in the fashion industry?
Thank you. Yes I am really interested in fashion that is produced in the USA. It is not an easy thing to find. It is even harder at my age to get manufacturers to take me seriously. I'm currently designing a ladies handbag. I finally got a prototype but now I have to do the sourcing for the manufacturer because they want to use some items from overseas. It is quite a process.
Fascinating
Thank you so much!
Great video as always keep them coming very informative
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement.
So niec video. kate lov dec video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video 😁👍
Thank you so much for your kind words.
@@KatesAg 🤗👍👍👏
Lovely video
Thank you!
Really interesting tour of the elevator. The man lift is probably illegal to use but necessary to get to the top. When I was in college the building I worked in had a rope powered freight elevator. It was condemned by the state for personnel use the last year I was there.
Thank you so much. You are probably right but here on the farm we have a lot of old things we use! Thank you for your story.
I always wanted to do farm work
Thank you for your comment!
Interesting vid
Thank you for your kind words!
Thanks for a vonderful video this elevator is intrasting to se
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour.
Nice !;-)
Thank you so much!
Super interesting. I love going in old elevators, especially the view from the top. Your grandpa and dad seem great. When you were looking at your grandparents names on the wall from years back, I was hoping you were going to ask your grandpa if he ever brought your grandma up to the top of the elevator there back when your grandma and grandpa were dating. Whenever I ask my grandparents questions about back when they were dating, they never answer my questions!!!! That only makes me have even more questions lol. :) :)
LOL! Thank you for your kind comment. My Grandma's dad owned the farm so she could have shown my grandpa the elevator!
@@KatesAg - So awesome, thanks for your response, I love hearing those stories from back when.
Thanks for sharing your story Kate!! You have so much history there in Montana!! :)
Maybe, you could share the old ways of farming!! Make it fun!!
So many video ideas!! Comparing the old way to the new way on your farm!! :)
Thank you so much for your kind words. I heard that someone was seeding with old horses and a seeder last year. I will try to video that if they do it again this year. I agree that would be really neat.
@@KatesAg Wow!! You reply to every comment and quickly too!! 😊👌Makes it special!! 😊 Like the best service out there!! 😊
Ya!! That would be neat!! I also noticed that you have kept all the old equipment on your farm!!
Does a farmer there need to constantly farm more land and buy new equipment to make the same equivalent income!! Is there a worry that you cannot expand fast enough?
I think it is concerning if a family farm is no longer viable as it offers a good opportunity for certain sectors of society to provide for themselves!!
We have seen the family farm disappear in Canada!! Our Real Estate prices are one of the highest in the world!!
You know what I am saying alot has changed in method but also in economics!! 😊
We have had a few minonites go to the United States from Ontario because they found it too expensive here!!
Competative markets are important!! More availability of food etc. But India also is facing this problem!! We must ensure that people have a future!!
We do not want to have tech take over and have half of society with no purpose in life!!
It would be great to see more on that from farmers!! 😊
Thank you so much! Yes, it is really the same here too. Small family farms are being taken over by bigger corporate farms. It doesn't pencil out to have to buy land at expensive prices and then try to earn a living farming it. Unless you need a big write off. Thank you for the interesting informaiton.
@@KatesAg Thanks for your input Kate!! 😊
We’ll just call dad “Droneman”.
LOL!!! Good idea. Thank you for your comment.
Your grandfather had it built? It's so much more complex than I had imagined. Did he store grain for other farmers? I noticed you installed new windows. Is it still in use or are you just maintaining it because it's definitely a piece of your history. Your grandpa answered most of questions. Congratulate him for me on his initiative.
My Great-Grandfather had it built in 1933. Yes, he did store all the grain from our farm in it. We still use it too. Thank you so much for your kind words. I will be sure to let Grandpa know and he will be very pleased and smile.
Thank you for your tour of the elevator never saw the inside of one,I don’t think there are any around here in W.Va., tell you grandfather and dad thanks too.Beautiful sky’s in Montana you can see for miles,Do you ever fined any fossils or arrowheads in the fields when your working them, Wednesdays have become my favorite day now always interesting on your videos 👍
Thank you so much! I will be sure to let dad and grandpa know too and they will smile. Occasionally, we find things but The Knees (that are the tiny mountains) in my flying video is where you can find a lot of things like that. I really appreciate your kindness and encouragement!
Yeah Kate i,d like you to give a tour of the elevator. Hope you are doing fine. Still love your video,s. You are very good at what you do. Bye.
