- Grain Bin Tour Montana Wheat Harvest Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion
This week we are touring the grain bins on our Century Montana wheat and barley farm. You will see a different part of our farm operation. I show the semi truck backing up to the unloading auger. The unloading auger then carries the wheat up to the top of the grain bin and fills it. I climb to the top of the grain bin to show you what's inside. I also am able to show an overhead view of our operation. The views from the top of the grain bin are absolutely fabulous. It is a very beautiful day in Montana. I also check how our crop is doing in the field. At the end of the video you can see our swather cutting the wheat so that our combine harvesters can pick it up. We have to swath it first because we have a lot of Saw Fly damage that makes the wheat lay on the ground. If we didn't swath it first we would lose most of our crop. I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you so much for watching! Don't forget to like and subscribe to learn more about where food comes from.

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.
Hi Kate, You are some incredible Girl working on the Farm. Thanks.
Thank you for your kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🇺🇲Hello again Kate🙋. I got a pop up suggested video of this video and I checked it and I could not believe that I did not see this one. I could tell because it was not "liked". I have watched every one of your videos and still can't believe that I missed this one. I really loved it like all your videos. It was cool that you had the day off that day and gave everyone the opportunity to see the grain bins. Once again you get ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ in my book👍 THANK YOU!....BYE👋🇺🇲
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!!! I really appreciate them.
Not sure what's more beautiful, the view or Kate! 😍
LOL Thank you!
you father is proud of you, you in a daughter´s love.
Thank you so much!!
I think I like this little gal and her videos so much because Im a child at heart and so are my sisters. We have sooo much in common growing up on wheat farms. I grew up a 2 miles from where my dad did and we could see the one room schoolhouse from the kitchen window that he went to second grade in. We just have a few more trees and rivers. My dad was alot like yours seems. He was strict and down to business. But he did know how to enjoy fun things like your dad does flying. I never got to take him up in my airplane.
You are a jewel Kate. Everyone else notices it too. People aren't like you in big city areas. I travel all over this country and alot of people just seem empty and dull. Not everyone. But its common. Youre more like what Im used to in our family. So nice to see others with a similar upbringing. 😁
Thank you so much for your kindness! I really, really appreciate it! You made my day!!!!!!
Thank you for the grain bin tour.☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind words!
Fascinating, thank You Kate.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Kate you have a very good view from the barns very good video
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Keep up the good work Kate!!
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great encouragement Mr. Caffrey!
I love the grain bin tour awesome video
Thank you so much for your kindness!!! I appreciate it.
Kate, I think it’s awesome you’ve taken an interest and active participation in your family farm!!
Thank you so much for your nice comment.
From the height of the expanse of natural wheat land very beautiful
Thank you for your great comment!!
I'm from indonesia i'm also an ordinary farmer
That is quite the video and your right it’s quite the operation them hoppers on the trucks sure make it easier for unloading and much faster in my middle years I worked in a feed mill and all the grain came in box cars and we would have to unload them by hand and like you the barley was the worse to unload the dust would plug me up and I’d dig and scratch so itchy he wheat was the best and the cleanest oats were pretty good as well but it was always a pleasure to see them hopper cars so much easier and better never had to get inside of them and your right the Montana skies are absolutely gorgeous love the billowing clouds it is magnificent you did a great job always impressed with your videos so well done … thanks again Kate god bless …..
Thank you so much for your great story and kindness!!! Barley is the itchy grain here. The wheat is okay but the barley is hard to be around.
What a great view from up there! 😃
Thanks a lot fdor the video! 😊👍🏻
Thank you for your kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate covers the entire process from prepping, planting fertilizing, harvesting and storage. She represents the farming community in a very positive manner. I find this very interesting, and I am amazed at how much equipment it takes to get the job done. A huge investment of money. Then add all the time the farmer works. I appreciate and thank the farmer who keeps us fed. God bless the farmer. :)
You totally made my day Mr. Williams!!!! Thank you for your amazing kindness and huge compliment!
Kate... Love this video...
You look absolutely amazing...
Thank you so much for your kindness!!!
@@KatesAg your welcome Kate....

Thanks 👍👍👍 Kate
Thank you for your kind words!
I really like seeing the younger generation of the kids that are willing to take over the farm and I am really happy to see that the women are doing great in the farming industry because they can make a difference in it it makes me really happy so Kate please keep up the great job that you are doing and do what ever you can to learn as much as you can from your dad and grandpa and please keep showing the guys that you can do what ever they can do and always show them up at all the time ok and please keep going with the videos because I have really been enjoying them
Thank you so much for your great and kind words!!!! You made my day!!!
I encourage you to do a video on grain bin saftey.
In the 80s I did some grain bin saftey talks at some local high school FFA . I was with my brother at the top door of the grain bin when he jumped into the grain. We were emptying the bin and a crust had formed with a void below it , he was immediately covered in grain and suffocated . To this day I still feel some guilt.
The local fire chief talked me into going with him to some local schools , it really helped me to know I did something to get the word out about grain bin saftey .
Thank you for your incredible story! I am very sad for the loss of your brother. I agree that grain bin safety is of utmost importance!!! Thank you for your wonderful and kind suggestion. Thank you for making a difference by talking at the high school too!!!!!! You are amazing!
Kate, I’ve been with you from the beginning. You’re doing a great job with your videos. With well spoken, educated young woman like yourself, American agriculture has a bright future.
Mr. Irvine, I would like to thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate it. Thank you for all your support and encouragement.
Another great video Kate! Thank you for showing us around.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Great video again Kate, some view from the top of the grain bins, stay safe.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Bless your heart, young lady! Keep it up.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it.
What a great young lady. Your explanations of how and why you do things are way better than other ag channels. You appear to be genuinely genuine! I too drove a combine at age 16. That was over 40 years ago. I remember it took all my concentration to coordinate all the controls back then, header height, reel height and speed, ground speed, etc. A little easier in the modern machines with so much automation. Anyway, great job Kate.
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate it.
Wow that view is awesome, really enjoying the videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Thanks for another great video! The clouds do look beautiful and you look fantastic too!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you liked the video.
Montana is beautiful! Love the views
Thank you so much for your nice comment.
I live in northern Saskatchewan and harvest is just about done up here. I used to love hauling freight through Montana because there was such a variety of landscape as you drove through. you are lucky to still have your grandfather working with you and to be able to have such a wide open sky to call your own. I love the vids and hearing the perspective of someone your age who is genuinely appreciative of all they've been blessed with. keep the vids coming
That is amazing. Thank you so much for your kind words.
I lived in Calgary and drove big truck through Montana a lot. It is a very beautiful State indeed.
I agree with you,nothing more beautiful than a Prairie sky.Hello neighbor from Manitoba.
Hello from Montana! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
Hey Kate. Thank you for the vid. You weren't kidding when
you said how beautiful it was from the top of the bin. Have a good day! .......ttyl.......bb.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Keep up the good work Kate, your videos are very well done
Thank you so much for your kind words.
What a fun video. The production side of agriculture at its best! Looks like a top-notch operation. Thanks for sharing this video with all of us Kate...take care and be safe.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Great video! Nice view from on top of bin! That truly is Big Sky country!
Thank you for your nice comment.
You do such a good job on your videos, it is fascinating! Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you so much for your kind words and great encouragement!!!
Enjoy your video
Thank you for your kind words!
Some folks might find that country boring, but I think there is a beauty to the wide open spaces and abundance of sky. Thanks for sharing. I think your videos will appeal to young people who don't know anything about farming.
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words.
Thank you for putting up videos, I was watching farms videos yesterday and my granddaughter walked over to me and asked about your videos, so we went through all your videos and she watched everyone of them. Thank you for that, not once did she get on her cell phone, I have been unable to kept her off that phone but did for 6 hours. You have a new fan.
Thank you for the most inspiring comment ever. I am so glad that young people are enjoying my videos too. That means a lot to me. Thank you again.
Thanks for making these videos, as they are very interesting and informative.
All the best.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your kindness.
Hello Kate, .... top video ...... great view over the fields. 👍 😉
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
Great Job Kate. I still love the views of the land and of the old school house. I do have to say the Hopper Trailers are kinda cool to see in action. You can open the Doors or Gates which ever you prefer to call them and let the product out. either slow like you have shown or wide open like if you were at the Grain Elevator that have the large pit to dump them into. Quick story about the clouds, I use to work at a large airport and used to fuel the airplanes. Some of the tires are about the same size as the tractor tires you use on the farm. now standing next to the large planes and then watching them take off and fly next to the clouds you can really see just how big they really are when you have something to compare them against. Thanks for reading the comments Kate and looking at the suggestions. and with this I will say Thank you for the video Kate looking forward to next week, to see what you have in store for us.
Thank you so much for your kind words and really interesting story. I really appreciate them.
A great video together. Keep on teaching about farming.
Thank you so much for your kind and inspiring words.

Stumbled on your site a few days ago.. Impressive young lady, your parents should be proud of what you are becoming...keep it up, maintain your humbleness 👍👍
Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words. I really appreciate them.
Kate you're doing a great job really enjoy watching your videos. You seemed a little surprised when you got to the top of the grain bin.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I don't think you Dad will have any trouble , you have a good handle on how to get things done . Nothing like farming , it will educate you . Great video Miss Kate
Thank you so much for your kindness and great encouragement!!!
Sorry Kate, I got ahead of myself and should have read more about you. Appears you are well into brand recognition and should be quite successful in years ahead. Young entrepreneur in the making.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Nice informative video,Kate. thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
What a view from the top of the bin theirs no trees around so cool
Thank you so much for your nice comment.
I am from Texas a farming state. I have been through many small towns with these exact same type grain bins and the unloading auger and really haven’t paid attention to them. But thanks to this video especially, I will know what they are, know how a grain truck unloads into them and what an unloading auger is sitting next to them. It is amazing all these years and I just never knew or researched. But thanks to one Kate’s Ag video I am more informed.
Thank you so much for your wonderful story and kind words! You made my day!!!
Your Brave going on top of that Grain Bin I remember Climbing up in a Farm Silo I could not believe how high it was
Yes they are high up there. Thank you for the information.

Hi 👋🏽 thanks for wonderful beautiful view be careful up there 👆 thanks for feeding us and be safe 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
Great movie huge farm I am impressed.
Greetings from Poland.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I remember driving across Nebraska as the grains are ripening, looks like fields of gold...
Thank you for your great story! Those fields really are beautiful!
Greetings from Oklahoma. I’ve been watching your videos since you started, and have to confess that I’ve had doubts. However, as I’ve thought about it, I believe I see the potential. A whole new demographic, most of whom probably have no clue of where their food comes from beyond the local supermarket. So keep learning, keep sharing, and keep up the good work. I wish you all the success in the world.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind words and perspective. Thank you so much.
Hello from Oregon; Love your videos.
Hello from Montana! Thank you so much for your kind words. Please stay safe from all the fires.
You all must be in central Montana. Most of the wheat fields here around Great Falls, you can see the Little Belt mountains to the east and the Rockies and Glacier to the west. Love Montana!
We are in North Central Montana. Thank you for your comment.
Those grasshoppers are what goes crunch when your eating your breakfast cereal. Yum!
Thank you for the hilarious comment. I really appreciate it.
Good protein 😆

¡¡¡¡¡¡Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras!!!!!!
BEAUTIFUL❤️
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Kate. You sure have big field,s out there in Montana. Makes field,s around here seem very small. But they still have big equipment. I have been thru Montana when I was a over the road truck driver. Well gotta go. Bye kate.
Wow! I like jobs frames
Thank you!
@@KatesAg ❤️🌹
It's great to see the younger generation farming... It's awesome to see a female doing it
Thank you so much for your kindness and wonderful encouragement.
PHENOMENAL videos - so informative!! For a young lady, you have a very wise head!!! Don't leave farming - its the best life ever!!! Best wishes from the UK - I'd love to work on your farm (its free - just ask!!!)
Thank you for your wonderful and kind words. I really appreciate them.
Hi Kate ..... congrats with the 3k+ subs, .. in Europe I have never seen a swather or windrower like the ones in the US or Canada, nice piece of equipment .. 😉
regards from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much for your nice comment. Hello from Montana.
Hi from New Zealand 👍.
Most of New Zealand's wheat gets grown in the Central North Island and the South Island where it's much colder.
Hello from Montana. I can hardly wait to visit New Zealand and see the farms.
That view up there around the bins is beautiful up there...kinda scary up that high.thanks for sharing this..
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a little bit scary but the view was worth it.
Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion I bet if you go up there quite often enough times,it’s no big deal as long as you remember safety first..
You have an excellent point. Thank you so much.
Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion going up to the top of the bins like that reminds me in the computer game I play called farming simulator 19, some of grain bin set ups that are mods have the stair rails on them like in real life bins and lets you walk to the top and if you not pay attention you fall to the ground but you don’t have injuries or worse in the game but in real life I’d think if someone fell from that height it could be fatal or have bad injuries.
Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion you are welcome, I think when anyone that needs to up the high to the bins should use a buddy system unless you are extremely experienced in being safe climbing up to the bins..I know accidents can happen at any given time.
So cute beautiful
Thank you so much!
Great video. You are getting some very good suggestions in the comments. And doing what you do you need experience every job. Not only running to combine but do other jobs too this is how you learn. I do not know if you seen a Acres of clay. on CZcams. All the children can do all the jobs. Including the 18 year old daughter. This is a dairy.
Thank you for your kind words and great suggestion. I will check out the video. I really appreciate it.
Good video
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Good job young lady.my girl was in potato truck at 10
Thank you for your kind words. I think it would be really interesting to see a potato harvest. You must be proud of your daughter.
Q inmensidad ese lugar espetacular
¡Gracias por tu maravilloso comentario!
Enthusiastic about your initiative! Greetings from Ukraine

Thank you so much for you nice comment.
It is beautiful out there...///
Yes it is! Thank you for your comment.
Nice
Thank you!!!
Thank you for feeding America and the world. I also grew up on a grain farm in Minnesota and am thankful for the experience. How many more acres do you have left to harvest? Praying you stay safe during this harvest. God bless.
We have pretty much wrapped up harvest and are getting ready to start seeding. Thank you so much for your kind words.
You should be going up the ladder using two hands young lady, great video
Thank you for your kind words and great suggestion.
You’re very beautiful young lady doing this amazing job keep it up well done
Thank you so much.
Hello Kate, I really enjoy your story by video. Was thinking about the subject of fashion. What about HAT accessories???? They make a statement, provide shade and cover and protect you as well. Looking forward to see what design/look you come up with. The amazing part of these videos is they are available to the whole world. All the best from Downunder (Adelaide, Australia) John Purdy
I really appreciate your ideas, kind words, support, and encouragement. Thank you so much. 💕
THAT COOL
Thank you for your wonderful kindness Mr. Stewart!
I like the intro music!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Then you should enjoy an Enya CD.
Enya music is fabulous.
@@KatesAg agreed. I even do a little sing along to Pilgrim
I must say, that is the biggest tractor used to auger wheat that I’ve ever seen, it shouldn’t run out of power! Lol
The tractor was an 8630 John Deere. It's kind of big. Thank you so much for your comment.
Without knowing what auger it is, it might. We’ve had a few that would use all of 150. They weren’t close to the big ones. 200+ minimum is what a new one requires.
Looks like hard red wheat. I get 50# bags of Bronze Chief wheat from Wheat Montana in 3-Forks, and grind it as I need it with a hand grain mill. Always fresh that way.
Yes, the wheat in the grain bin is hard red winter wheat and also War Horse in other bins. Wheat Montana is a really neat place. We just got a grain mill and I am very excited to try it. Thank you for your comment.
