- Farming in the Snow Montana Style!!! 2021
In today's video, I will take you on a tour of Greyn's fertilizer plant where we have been buying fertilizer for over 40 years!!! I take a ride in the big tractor that my dad hired to fertilize our fields. It is 10 below zero F in Montana!! The tractor is having a hard time getting up the hills with a 16,000 pound load of fertilizer. We zoom around the fields. I learn that our wheat needs nutrients just like people. My dad flies his drone over the truck filling up with fertilizer and also around our Montana fields. The GPS on the tractor shows us what has been fertilized and what has not. This is no farm simulator! This is the real thing! The snow is all over the place this winter. We don't usually farm in the snow. We need to make sure our crop can take advantage of the moisture and that is why we are laying fertilizer in the snow. This is real-life farming under the big sky, Golden Triangle area in Montana!!

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.
Kate’s enthusiasm is contagious
Thank you for your amazing kindness Mr. Jim!
I just start watching your videos and I must admit it, I am addict to it. It is a healthy addiction because I am learning from experience people. Thanks Kate.
Thank you for your great and kind words!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing all the footage from the Drone and all the questions you asked the young man and the older gentleman was awesome Kate 👍🏽
Thank you!!!
Wow that's cool looks like fun and work in the snow
Thank you for your great comment and kindness Mr. Goodman!
most times i prefer the cab view but watching the drone video was GREAT. Loved it. Thanks Pop!
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!! Dad loves that drone!!!!!
I am TOTALLY IMPRESSED with your videos and the time you take to respond to so many of the comments.
Your ratio of responses to comments FAR EXCEEDS any other channel I watch.
Thanks again for GREAT PRODUCTION.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate them. You made my day!!
Another very great show Kate. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your kindness!!!
Fantastic video again Kate, that is one awesome piece of kit, it all looks stunning with all the snow ❄ on the farm, thanks again stay safe.
Thank you so much for your kindness!!!!!! I really appreciate it!!!!
Thank you for many very interesting videos to learn how "the bread comes on to my table". You allways shines with your entusiasme, politeness to people, and a clever way to explain both "the big picture" and details.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness! You made my day!
I appreciate what you are doing for farming. You show young people farming can be a great way of life. You are a sweetheart from an old retired farmer.
Thank you so much! You made my day!!
I would have never guessed you would put nitrogen down this time of year. You have taught me something new. Thanks
Thank you so much for your great comment. I'm so glad you like my video!!!!!
@@KatesAg we always lay down aboit 50 lbs with urea in winter as you do ours was done in the last week as well just before our snow, then we will do the last pass with 32% and 2 gallon of ats, about March April area, do that pass with a Honda side by side
I know right??? 60 years old and I too am still learning. Thankyou Kate!!!
Now this is new to me. Fertilizing in the ❄ snow. Wow. You can definitely learn alot from farming videos. Great content in all your videos
Thank you for your kindness!!!!
The snow really helps to see how helpful auto steer is. Perfectly straight lines. Very satisfying to watch. Another great and very informative video Kate. Stay warm up there. It sure does look cold. 🥶🥶🥶
Yes, isn't the auto steer neat? It really shows up in the snow!!! Thank you so much for your great and kind comment!!!
Impressive again Kate, my grandpa used to mix alfalfa seed with fertilizer and broadcast it on the snow like that for new hayfields. Works like a charm.
Your fertilizer guy sure knows his stuff. Good to listen to.
Thank you, best regards from Indiana.
Thank you so much for the great and interesting information. I bet that your grandpa had great success with his great method. That is really neat. I appreciate your kind words!!
Thank you for the great video on fertilizer. Really enjoyed your comments and explanations.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate them.
Very informative, Kate!
Love your passionate personality. You make farming look good and fun.
Thank you so much for your great and kind comment!!! I really appreciate it.
Hi Kate I really enjoy your video it’s very educational I learned something new every day and as always you and your families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your kind words and great encouragement!!! I really appreciate it.
Well done Kate!
Thank you so much for your kindness!

Gracias por su amabilidad y gran animo!!!
Great information Kate thanks for sharing a great video. Stay warm.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!!!
Great video Kate! You are the first that I have seen putting down fertilizer while the snow is on the ground. It looks like we have once again learned something new about farming in Montana. Keep up the great work and Thanks for the video Kate, see you next week.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! It was really interesting to spread white fertilizer on white snow. Thank goodness for GPS!!!!
Wow! I like snow 👍
Thank you. Snow is very beautiful!
You are such a sweet young lady. Super nice to see your gen care about things like this hope you channel grows to 2 million subscribers God bless You
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great encouragement and blessing!! I am very honored and grateful.
Hello from Germany!
I am always fascinated by the size of the fields and the vast country. Thanks for the video, it's very interesting and informative! It also makes sense to apply the artificial fertilizer in the snow. So everything is washed into the ground with the snowmelt. The snow is also very important for the water table. The fertilizer then stays in the soil exactly where it is needed. Nothing grows without fertilization. So our food also gets nourishment to grow.
Stay save and healthy!
Greetings to your family!
Hello from Montana!! Thank you so much for your kindness and great information!!
AWESOME 👍😊 JOB KATE , TEACHING US ABOUT THE FERTILIZER
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!
Interesting video .Kate . I was working ground in the spring and we had just enough snow to cover the ground , My boss said to go ahead and work the snow in . It was dusty after the first row of shanks hit the snow .. The front tires picked up snow but it never bothered me ..Everyone driving by almost stopped to look at me , they probably thought I was crazy .. Loved the video . The information & the knowledge you pass on ..🌹🌹
Thank you so much for your kind words and great and interesting info. I appreciate it.
luv your channel Kate ❤ I had no idea that so much goes on during the winter to prepare for planting!!! best wishes from California!!!
Thank you for your amazing kindness Mr. Martion!!!
@@KatesAg sorry Kate but my last name is Reider not Martion!!! best wishes from California!!! ❤
thank you so much for doing this Kate I love how you spread fertilizer on the snow hope you stay warm out there in Montana it's about 20 degrees in Kentucky and we got about maybe 4 inches of snow we are expecting ice tonight and snow then it's not supposed to stop snowing until Friday morning really appreciate the video thank you again can't wait to the next video

Thank you so much for your kind words!!! I really appreciate your great encouragement and kindness!!!
Amazing to see fertilizer being spread on the snow, when we get snow in Ireland nothing happens on the land like that,we do not get snow too often, may be once every three or four years, good video
Thank you for the great information and your kind words! Very interesting!!!
Never saw someone fertilizing when the ground is frozen.
But okay, it gets into the ground when everything's melting...
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Thank you for your kind words
Good job
Thank you for your wonderful kindness Mr. Martion!

It´s that time of the year again and we still have about half a meter of snow . Can´t wait for spring to come around .
Yes!! I agree!!! Spring means warmer weather!!! Thank you so much for your great comment.
Very very good ...... !
Thank you so much!
Hey Montana girl.. you must be freezing.. I have been into weather this cold. I tried to stay as warm as I could,It must be difficult to talk.. that cold holy frozen pipes.
Hope the horses are staying warm. Thank you for another great video. stay warm.. Thanks again. great video
Thank you so much for your kindness!!! There are a lot of frozen pipes in Montana this year! It was 10 below zero when I filmed this. It is 12 above now. The horses are warming up too in the sunshine. Thank you so much!!!
Very informative as always.
Thank you so much!!!!!
49K yayyyy 🎉🎉 Congratulations For 50K Subs In Advance!! Kate 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your kind words and great encouragement!! You made my day!!
Good Drone Footage!!🚜🚜
Thank you so much!!! I will let my dad know and he will smile!!!
You’re made for TV Kate. Love your videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!! You made my day!!!
I would never have guessed that you would put fertiliser on snow! It makes perfect sense when you hear the reasoning and saves work later on when there is probably something else to do on the farm. So much technology involved too: soil analysis, biochemistry, fertiliser chemistry & manufacture, meteorology (always the weather!), the application technology and of course satellite tech - where would we be without GPS? Lost in the snow I of course!
Thank you so much for your great comment and info!
Great video Awesome Kate!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Learned a lot...thank you very much...enjoyed interaction with chem co
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
Great job
Thank you for your kindness!
Great to see you're not above enjoying a ride in a Big Red Tractor...go Case International Harvester! Beautiful scarf around your neck, tied like an ascot. I've worn an ascot a time or two in the Air Force. Another great video, Kate. My granddaughter, Bellah, loves your videos!
Thank you so much for your kindness!! Thank you for your service! I am so glad your granddaughter enjoys my videos!! That is really wonderful!!!!!
Very awesome Kate
Thank you so much!
Hello Kate, great video, you should have autosteer and GPS on your JD 9610 combine, that would be handy.
I never saw a spreader in action on a snowy field, interesting.
Stay safe and warm, see you next week .... 😉 🖐
Thank you for your great suggestion and kind words!!!
You did another good job and I had heard you people had some bad weather out that way here in Maine it was 95° today sunny day so you guys keep up the good work and I’ll talk to you later God bless
Thank you for your great story and amazing kindness and blessing! We got a tiny bit of rain but the clouds blew over too fast to get anything measurable.
It look like you were having fun in the snow
Thank you so much!!! I love the snow!!
I love snow ❄️ and farms really :)
Thank you for your great comment!
@@KatesAg 🥰
@@KatesAg Yes dear be safe n stay blessed :)
Tuyết rơi trắng cánh đồng,một bức tranh rất đẹp,nhưng trời lạnh nó làm cho động cơ của bạn khó khởi động.Chúc bạn luôn vui vẻ.I love Kate.
Cảm ơn vì lòng tốt của bạn!
Kate, Another great video. I’m surprised they can put fertilizer down in heavy snow like that. I guess with GPS on the equipment they can do anything. I guess out there you have to be prepared to work in winter weather because of a shorter growing season then we have back here in Md. We are supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow tonight thru tomorrow and upper 20’s temps. waiting for next Wednesday’s video. Stay safe and warm. 🙂😭
Thank you so much for your kind words and info!! You must get a lot more snow than we do!! It is a lot of snow for us but probably not a lot for Maryland!! I am excited to be able to travel so I can see farms in your part of the country!!!
Looks like they've come a long ways in the last 15 yrs. That spreader is way nicer than the Lorals they used to run. Cultiva or Satlock 1st Gen GPS, Dickey John controllers, and plugged rear distribution boxes in the snow. Vern even has cameras now on his blender! Nice!
Thank you for your kind words!

You sound like you should have a tv show or something, very professional
Thank you so much for your really wonderful and kind words!!! You made my day!!!
Kate why are you putting fertilizer out on the snow covered ground. Want the snow melt your fertilizer and you want get the extra benifit of the fertilizer for your 2021 crops. You see when I used fertilizer it was to help make the crop produce more bushels of crop to an acre. Budd R Hicks
Muy Bonito travajo muy cninjon trabajo de este ombre

Thank you for your kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know the fields you will be combining this harvest season Kate need some pink foam dots coming out at end of booms. To help guide you old 🏫🤔😁
LOL!!! Thank you Pat!! You are hilarious!!!!
Like everyone saying you should be on TV!! True!! I tell you it can be one of your careers!!
You seem to have lots of talent!! Love your channel!!
Fertilizing in the winter is a noval concept!!
Do you need to worry about runoff?
Thank you so much for your kindness!!! TV would be pretty interesting for sure!!! We don't have any run off because our snow is very dry and when it starts to melt the winds pick up and a lot of evaporation occurs before it can even get to the dirt. We sure hope there is enough moisture because we haven't had any since last fall. We are almost headed for a drought. Thank you again!!!!
Wow fertilizer application on top of snow & frozen ground, in my mind i'd wait till spring but maybe that'd be too late then? 😎
Thank you for your comment and question. If we wait until spring it might be too muddy to get into the field. Also, we might not have enough moisture to be able to fertilize and if we did it might burn the winter wheat.
🖖
G, day Kate's Ag from Sydney, Australia.
As the Winter snow has covered Montana, I hope you are doing well, safe and busy.
* thanks for the detailed and concise look at your farm fertilisation program. I have some experience with Superphosphate NPK granuals in market gardening of fruit and vegetables.
* the horses look strong, but, what is the saddle rash on Goldies back?
* any thought of growing Trout in a pool and clearing them old fish out of the dam?
Anyways.... We in Australia: well Sydney are cooling down from Summer to 6 degrees Celsius overnight. That's not to bad!
Well Kate always happy to see your episodes.
Take care and most of all "Have fun".
John🌏🇭🇲📈
Hello from Montana!!! The horses are strong and healthy. Goldie has a small white mark on her withers and she got that from a local trainer. My mom was super upset and she had some big words for him!!! Our horses are our family and my mom gets really upset when she sees people being mean to any horse. That is why she rescues them too. Thank you so much for your kind words and great questions and information!!!
Ти така класна 😘😘😘
Дякую за теплі слова!

Thank you. I will try to stay warm.

Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my day!
Thank you honey.❤❤
👍
Thank you so much!!!
Fertilizing the field covered by snow is just mind-boggling. This is a tedious, dangerous job since you can lose your sense of direction, no perception of whatever hazard might be in the field (rocks, dead wood, animal carcass, etc.) and the job could induce you to fall asleep while driving. I know it will drive me crazy just looking at those endless blanket of snow.
Thank you for your comment!
