Montana Wheat Harvest!!! 2021

In today's video, I take you in my John Deere combine to harvest our Montana winter wheat, 2021. My Dad is training the grain cart driver today. I am the only combine in the field until Uncle Chris starts up the other combine. We talk on the radio to communicate. We are fine-tuning our equipment and making sure everything is operating properly and safely. We planted this winter wheat last fall. This type of wheat has to freeze in order to produce an optimal head full of grain. Now with the drought, we are realizing that the wheat looks good in the field but there is little grain in the heads. We did not get hailed out this year, but the heat and lack of moisture have taken their toll. My Dad said we have had some really great years of harvest and we must expect to have a few poor years. That is why you don't see us with brand new equipment. We are very careful to conserve every year so we can make it through the bad ones like this. The only wildlife I see today is a mouse!!!!! I hope you enjoy riding around in my new combine with me. Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Story…
Hello. My name is Kate Stephens, and I am a 17-year-old 4th generation Montana 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.
