- Day In The Life Of Wheat Harvest On Our Montana Farm 2020 | Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion
In this weeks video I talk about the process of farming. I show you the daily life of wheat harvest on our Montana farm. You will learn how a farm operation works. I speak about the moisture level of the wheat and why it is important to not put moist wheat in the grain bins. You will get to watch me dump in the grain cart on the go. I also take you along to check my grain tank to see how full it is. I am able to save a birds life by paying attention to my combine header. I explain the difference in the two kinds of wheat, winter wheat and spring wheat. I also explain why in Montana we plant different varieties of wheat. The two kinds of crops we primarily grow are wheat and barley. I discuss why farmers are so important and that not many people now how their food gets to their table. I talk about why it is so important to buy locally grown farm and ranch products as well as products made in the USA. I also let you know that I am developing a Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion product that is coming out in the fall. You are able to see a swather swathing a wheat field. I also show you the size difference of a semi truck and a tandem truck (which is smaller). You will get to hear different people in our operation talk on the radio. I hope you enjoy my video of a day in the life of wheat harvest on our Montana farm.

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 2 years old. Until recently the wheat we grow has been taller than me. My grandfather is 93 and he is the best mentor ever. 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 decided that the amazing photos I take at harvest of our wheat and barley could make fabulous, exciting designs for fashion and accessories. That is how Kate’s Ag - Farm to Fashion became a reality. I hope you love my handbag 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.
Just from listening to you and can tell that you were raised right. Thats what is wrong with the world today. I was raised on a farm in Louisiana with the closest town really small. I don't know the last time I heard a young woman or man say thank you, yes sir, yes ma'am. Great Channel and great to see.
I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for the comment.
I didn't grow up on a farm BUT we used to visit farm parks & some of the places we holidayed at used to keep chickens, bees AND a kitchen garden. Apart from the bees we were aloud to havest everything else
Hi again Kate. Watching you run the combine again. Never get tired of watching a beautiful young lady running what ever. Combine, tractor, big truck. You can do it all. And you are such a pleasure to watch. And I love the way you explain what you are doing. Keep up the video,s, ok.
"Although sometimes they don't pay attention and that is a little upsetting." LOL that was funny. Kate is such a delight. If I was dumb enough to get Kate upset at me. I would run for the hills! LOL
hahaha! Thank you for your hilarious comment!
Hi Kate,
I want you to know that this 82-year-old male enjoys watching your videos. Thanks for the company you see I'm all alone😉😊😉
what an amazing girl. Now if I could just go back and be 20 again and meet her.
LOL! Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!!!!!!
This channel is going to blow up . I do believe.
Thank you! You made my day. I really appreciate your kindness.
Thank you so much. 💖
I'm new here I just discovered this channel yesterday and started watching the videos here I have to agree with you 100% this young lady she's going to become big on CZcams just need to get her a big shout out.
Hey Kate! Greetings from Dawson County, Montana! I've just discovered youir channel and like what I saw and heard. You seem to take a different view on how things work on a farm and point out some things people might not be aware of. Stopping for a baby bird while you're in the heat of the harvest season is down-right inspirational. I used to have a wheat farm here in Dawson County and so I understand what you are saying. Thank you for enlightening everyone about where the ingredients come from for breads and pasta. Good luck with your harvest, take care and be safe Kate.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words.
do you have auto steer
Love you running that green equipment. Worked for JD for 40 years and thank you for your kind words about the equipment. You make a great company what it is. Tell your dad thank you as well. Love your video's. Keep it up.
We really do love our John Deere equipment. I will be sure to tell my dad. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Nice to see a young person with passion for farming. Losing more and more farmers, farms and farmland to the city around here.
Thank you for your kind comment. I notice when I travel around the country that cities are expanding into farmland areas. This is very sad to me because I feel a deep connection with my heritage and I am passionate to tell the story of farmers. I want farmers to prosper.
Makes me sad as well. There were about 60 dairy farms and 1000 people in our community in the 1950 s today there are 6 dairy’s farms and about 20000 people. Bare farmland sells for about 115000 $ an acre and most of the young people want the money not the work.....
The whole state of Montana has just a little over 1 million in population so we don’t see farm ground prices increase substantially by the city in the area we farm. Dry land acres run around $1,500 an acre and it takes a lot of acres to make a living off of your farm because the yields aren’t as high as other parts of the country.
Wow you are amazing thank you for everything you do your parents raised a wonderful person God bless you and your family
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I really appreciate it. 💕
You are an amazing young lady I enjoy farming and ranching vlogs. It is so great to see the younger generation actually wanting to be involved in the family business. I am certain that you are aware that there will be ups and downs but sticking it out and the overall satisfaction you will feel can not be found anywhere else. PS the bag is amazing as you said it would be. Good bless you and your family!
Thank you Mr. Carmody! I really appreciate your kindness and great encouragement!! I'm so glad you like my tote!
Good night 🌃 Kate ag
Thank you so much!
I love to see you in action! Every single frame of this video is precious!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Love videos of farming, Keep it up awesome to see younger generations taking up farming. would be great to interview your grandfather. would love to hear his words of wisdom on farming along with your own.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words. Fantastic video idea. I would love to interview my grandfather. I always love to listen to his stories about farming.
Wow another great video with so much information. You are such a good spokesperson for American farmers and you look so beautiful making them! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Kate, love the content, very educational. Love the green machines, been a JD fan for my whole life. Thanks so much for your efforts.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words!!!! I really appreciate them!!!
Ma'am, I must tip my cap to you! I'm so impressed with your knowledge, enthusiasm, respect for your land and heritage, and your passion for your fashion. I'm an Alabama farmer, so your crops, terrain, weather, etc. are totally different than mine, but that makes it fun! You keep being you! I'll sub and look forward to following along!
Thank you so much for your very kind words. I would like to visit Alabama and see the crops and terrain some day. I think it would be really fascinating. I really appreciate your encouragement.
Some people don’t appreciate what farmers do thanks 🙏🏿 for all the efforts you and generation before you have done
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!
Good job Kate love listening to you
Love love your videos Kate !! Great lessons and I really enjoy your positive attitude and enthusiasm. You my friend are a great Teacher !!
Thank you for your kindness!!!!!!!!!!
Would be proud to have her as my daughter. Thanks for educating us non farmers/ranchers
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and huge compliment!!!
Kate based on the things you said about not listening to music and then listening to the machine I decided I would allow you to operate my 1976 year model John Deere 3300 combine. Really enjoyed this video thanks for taking the time to make it a share it with us.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
Kate- you're family is not only successful at farming, but thanks to you and your father - famous! you can't buy that, you earn it!
Thank you for your amazing kindness and great encouragement!!!!!
Big sky is the best ... ♥️
Thank you!!
Moisture is key to life, it's really been crazy this year!!! Some places I've dug basements and footers have been flooded and 20 miles away dry as a bone... Kate you are such an inspiration, thanks so much for sharing your story with us!!💯🙏
Thank you for your great story, amazing kindness and huge compliment!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. We grew hard red winter wheat in Kansas when I was a kid. I had a farm in central Kansas where the Mennonites brought the hard red winter wheat from Ukraine back in the late 1800s.
That is really interesting. Thank you for sharing. Thank you so much for your comment.
I really enjoyed your video and found your perspective wonderfully fresh and interesting. I will watch again!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
WHAT A SMART LITTLE LADY A DEFINITE ASSET TO THE FARM !
Thank you for your kindness!!
Very noligable thanks for showing the courty what it's all about very cute too
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Хорошего урожая вашему дому !!!😊👍✌
Спасибо большое!!!!!
I enjoy your enthusiasm. You are quite the talker but explain the process very well.
Thank you so much. I love talking! ❤️
Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion every woman loves talking :-) love your chanel !
I just found your videos, and am first struck by your gratitude and courtesy, then by your knowledge, skill and wisdom running a combine and contributing mightily to the harvesting effort!
What an awesome video that perfectly blends your explanations, live demonstration, and pleasant conversation.
As I grew up in northwestern Ohio, my dad was the [dependable!] "Hand" so this video brings back memories! (Riding along, helping, moving wagons, etc.)
Thank you for sharing!
I can't thank you enough for your super kind words and encouragement. I am so glad you enjoy my videos. I really am passionate about bridging the gap between farmers and consumers. I am so happy to hear this brings back great memories too! You made my day!!!
@@KatesAg
I'm happy to encourage you to keep up your great work - and to make your day! I just saw your recent video taking a truckload to the elevator. I continue find your positive outlook, and ever-grateful attitude, so refreshing. Thanks again, Kate.
I trust you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
luv your channel Kate ❤, such enthusiasm and intelligent contemplation your dad must be so proud to have someone like you helping out with the harvest!!! best wishes from California!!!
Thank you for your amazing kindness Mr. Reider!
Nice video, Kate! We need more farm girls like you! I love when you explained about your breakdown and about listening to music, but that’s farming and operating haha! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them. 💖
I know nothing about farming on a large scale so this is very educational. TY
I am so glad to hear that my video is educational. Thank you so much for your kind comment. You made my day.
Whoa!!!! How switched on is this young lady?! Grandpa certainly delivered on the education and Mom & Dad provided the upbringing. Classy intro music - now subscribed.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Good morning 🌄 Kate ag 🌹🙏🌼🌾☕
Hello from Montana! thank you for your kind emojis!
Really enjoyed this video, very informative, great front view of the swats being swept in to the combine, awesome machinery, great job
Thank you for your kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job, Great young lady!!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I love how you explain everything in detail really nice to have somebody do that and you’re really cute
Thank you for your kindness!!
I have learned sooooo much about this type of farming, Fantastic. # It’s not easy
Thank you for your terrific comment and amazing kindness! You made my day!
Go girl !! Love it !!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Wow, I really can't believe what I just watched ! As a women born in the 50's women having a career like this was absolutely unheard of, especially at this young of age !! Kate, your knowledge, skill level, problem solving skills, ability to observe, ability to communicate , teach and joy for what you are doing just makes me smile! Incredible !!
I can't thank you enough for your kind words and encouragement. I really, really appreciate them.
My sister who was born in the late 30s could do all of this. So, I do not agree with your comment that women were not allowed to this sort of work. My sister drove the combine and all other farm equipment. Us boys did not start doing the same work until we turned 9. Today, they keep kids as kids until they are 40 years old. That is the problem with our society today.
There is a lot of information in these videos. I learn something every video.
Thank you so much! That makes my day!!!!!!!!!!!
Really long video but that’s okay. Listening to you explain everything is pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
Thank you so much for your very kind words.
Great videos Kate. Hope to see you next summer in the Muskoka’s.
Thank you so much Len. I hope too see you soon too. Best diving coach ever! ♥️
Thanks a lot for this informative video! 😊👍🏻
Thank you for your kind words!
Kates you Rock girl
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Great video.God Bless you and your family.......🌾🌾🌾🌾
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and blessing!!!
NIce to see. And learn! Good field there!
Thank you so much!
Hi Kate still a very nice video it's beautiful flat fields here in France 🇫🇷 the weather has returned for a few days to good but the ground is wet and the combine harvesters are getting stuck. not easy!!!! good luck and above all take good care of yourself 🙋♂️Dave
Thank you so much for you kindness. It is not fun to get a combine stuck. That is for sure!! I hope you have a great harvest.
Ya got such cool 😎 videos 👍I like watching them 😊😊🙂
Thank you for your amazing kindness! You made my day!
You are doing a good job explaining what your combine is doing. Your young viewers and some of the older ones are being shown that their bread does not ultimately come from the grocery store. Gov. Cumo of NY is being shown that there is a little more to it than dig a hole, throw in a seed and cover it up.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I agree it takes a lot of work to get the seed in the ground and then harvest it. There are all kinds of things that can happen in between like hail, not enough rain, bugs etcetera. It is quite a process to get the grain into bread.
You go girl
Thank you so much.
Nice channel you have Kate,you are amazing and i like to see you know a lot about farming and how the machines work.
I sub to your channel stay positive and keep up with good work!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them. Welcome to my channel! 💖
Very nice job 👍
it's Interesting to see how farmers work in a different way. I started with Zach Johnson Millennial Farmer, getting to the channel of the NY Farm Girls, Cole the Corn Star, and on and on.
Keep doing well, I`ll keep watching your clips.
Greets from Austria.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Wtfarm girl another great ch ,seems she was an earlier female trying to promote agriculture. Now all these great female farmers chanels are popping up like weeds on youtube.
good job Kate , thanx for you videos.
Thank you so much for your kindness!
@@KatesAg I am living on my family`s grainfarm in South Africa. We also use swather to cut the wheat and barley before harvest for wind damage . I was wandering why you cut your grain ,if it also is for wind damage ?
Hi Kate, Wow the wheat is really beautiful! Sorry for the late comments. I just recently found your channel and trying to catch up on all your vids.
Thank you for your fantastic comment and amazing kindness!!! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos!!!! Welcome!!!
Looking good
Thank you so much!
You do a very good job and I enjoy watching I see you when you were driving the tractor trailer and you did a good job there I was an over the road truck driver for about 50 years so I’ve had a lot of tractor trailer experience so anyway good luck to you talk with you later God bless
Thank you for your fantastic story and wonderful kindness and blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you all. All about keep working to. Food to feed people.
Thank you so much for your comment.
Wow, unreal how wide open the land is there.. I don't see that much here in south Louisiana.. Enjoying your videos!
Hello from Montana. Thank you so much for your comment.

От тебя идёт Свет Любви и Добра.
Спасибо за вашу удивительную доброту и огромный комплимент! Вы сделали мой день!!
woww, good thinking!!
Thank you!!!!!
We always thought there was a lot of wind in Chicago but dang, MT puts it to shame. Really do like your explanations of what you're doing and thinking.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Literally tripped over your video and felt compelled to watch. I work for 8 farms here in the southwest of England.
I have been contemplating on jumping ship to the states for the simple reason the land spread is alot bigger than it is here.
I do slot of combining , grain carting, excavator work etc.. but at present I've not had a big enough tempt from a prospective farm/s over there.
Anyway, keep it up youngen

If you want, I can land my email your way . I dont wana just throw it up here so that any buck Roger's can flood my inbox lol . Cheers yew.
Bobtail is what I call the three trucks. Semis are normally 18 wheelers. Depending on your laws in Montana you may have 3 axles on the trailer and possibility 3 drive axels on your tractor (semi Tractor). I am from Oklahoma so our bridge laws are a little different maybe. I really like Farmgirls getting in to Fashion and even Furniture refurbishment business. Your dad really raised you right and smart too!
Thank you for the information and your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Love your videos Kate from Terry in Brisbane Australia.
Thank you for your kind words!
Bravo à toi et une bonne moisson bon courage
Merci pour votre incroyable gentillesse Monsieur Moiron!!!!
You are so Amazing and you know exactly what’s going on around you , love it.😀👍🏾🚜🇺🇸👗👑
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
I thought the food came from Walmart....LOL I have been around farming most of my life. We had some farming as we raised feed products for feeding our cattle. I am now 66 and retired and is so special to see young folks out working the farms with all the brand new equipment. We had used in the begining and no cabs on the the tractors. I remember the day I finally got a radio to listen to on our 4320 John Deer. I plowed and disked with that one a lot..
Thank you for sharing your memories. They are very interesting to me. I appreciate your kind words.
Beautiful young woman farmer video!!!

Yes my 9610 and I grew up together. I absolutely love it. It has been a great combine for me. It always works. Even when the wheel falls off you can just give it more power and keep going to get the job done. 😂 I'll have to make a video about that. Thank you so much for the nice comment.
