I must say that I am very happy that no one is wearing one of the Mask 😷 for the COVID Virus 🦠, I admire that no mask on any Person. City life and Farm Life, People are Wiser . “Everyone is Outside !! Good to see this
Hello I just subscribed to you Channel . What a Great video of custom harvesting. I been around Tractors all my life. I’m a John Deere Technician out it California. That is so cool traveling the country. I don’t care what color the combine is I think you folks got a pretty cool job Thanks for the Videos
Thanks for subscribing, Dustin! Yes, we do have a pretty sweet job. It’s been a great way to raise a family. I’m glad you enjoy the videos. I started doing this last summer and posted it on our Facebook page so thought I would try RUclips. Hoping to educate a few more people about the job we do. 😊
I feel like him sometimes. Listening to the machine and can hear the slightest sounds and worry that something is going to break. In the end, it will all be okay. 👍🏼
Great to see ya back cutting wheat! hope that noise Jim heard in the back of the Beast doesn't cause problems! & it was kind of you Tracy, to let that older farm truck go 1st! Maybe a rule at that elevator- or not-

The industry of custom harvesting dates back a long time. Probably as far as the early 1900’s. But it became a bigger, better known Industry during WWII. A good article to read - livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe40s/machines_05.html My grandpa did custom harvesting when he was a young man. He used a pull-type Rumely combine. He continued doing it locally until the early 1950’s. It was at that time he started following the harvest from south to north. His final year on the road was 1989 (77 years old). I went on harvest with my grandparents for the first time in 1974. I was 12 heads old. I was supposed to help grandma with the crew but I fell in love with the combine. I met a young man while on harvest (not that year). He was their hired man. I ended up marrying him in 1982. That fall, we purchased our own pre-used Massey Ferguson combine. And, as they say, the rest is history. We’ll never be rich. We live in a very old home and drive old cars. But what we did do was create a nice way-of-life. We raised four daughters on the road. They all grew up and are on their own. They each had a good head on their shoulder and a very strong work ethic. So...we were a success. We will never have a lot of money. But, in the end, is that what it’s all about? It’s getting more and more difficult to make the payments for the expenses that are incurred. The farmers are making the same amount of money per bushel as they were in the mid 70’s. And the price of equipment, insurance and on-the-road expenses are beginning to take a toll. Not only on us, but the industry as a whole. Less and less wheat acres are being grown and more and more farmer-owned combines because of the summer acres being replaced with fall crops. The acres of wheat are necessary to make it all work. I’m afraid we could see more changes in the industry - less and less crews on the road. What started as a necessity in 1944, turned into a much-needed industry. One that has been the backbone of the American farmer. One that built our family into what it is today. And for this, I am so very thankful. Thanks for asking!!!
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking iam very grateful that you have respond back to me you have given me ideas to work with I will check out the site you have given me please keep in contact with me my name is Domenico Monteleone and I have my taken courses in plants and would be furthering my education in a program with a College and a university in combination the two of them I hope that the two of you dont stop doing this work and when you are working harvesting wheat your husband should do some talking talking about how the younger generation that ether do or dont want to become a Farmer thank you kindly again from Canada Toronto Ontario Etobicoke North
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking thank you kindly for responding back to me yes please make more videos and do t stop harvesting wheat and other crops you can harvest beacuse you give much hope yo younge generation I dont know your name or your husband name the man that is driving the combined harvester the two of you should talk more and if you know anyone else that does the same work as you do harvesting crops you should speak beacuse farming is being lost this is what I see
Hi Tracy, after all these years of harvesting wheat do you get nervous when you're in a new area and you have to take a load into the elevator? Do your prefer being in the combine or hauling the wheat? Hope you have a good 2020 harvest and things go smoothly!
I really don’t get nervous when I go into a new place. I just want/need to be sure of the flow of trucks before just going. The people at the elevators are usually so nice and so understanding! I would much rather be in the combine!!!! The love of the combine began the very first day my Grandpa let me drive his machine. It will be something I will miss so very much when Jim decides he’s done with traveling the highways and biways. Thank you so much for your comment and questions!
We typically seem to be in one area 10 days to two weeks. However, we’ll be moving a little more quickly this year in Kansas because we have three very close jobs. Depends on the weather and how many acres we have to cut.
I had to rewatch this to see what you meant. He wasn’t upset. This was the first time this combine was in wheat so he was on edge. Not upset. The job is stress filled and he doesn’t try to hide it.
So lovely to see your smiles when you back in the combine harvesting and looked like a nice thick crop going into the combine catch you both in the next video
Love the music too. It's so light and happy! :) I do worry that people coming won't want to work hard and do what you do.
Ohhhhh, I agree with this!
Tow the header carts with the combines.....all good
Thank you kindly for responding back to me with this 🙏 fantastic information you have more new videos of you two harvawsting wheat my I ask when so you change crops and go to a different crop again thank you for responding back to me
Those windmills on your property are a nice income...
Thank y'all...All good
Sure would be BUT that’s not our property. It was on the farm we were cutting on. We aren’t farmers - custom harvesters.
MacDon headers are wonderful
Love USA from Syria 🇺🇲😍🇺🇲🌹
صدامــي hey that’s cool!!

No one was wearing them last summer either. 👍🏻

Will watch all your videos.
Welcome to the channel!! I’m guessing you were a harvester?
I feel like him sometimes. Listening to the machine and can hear the slightest sounds and worry that something is going to break. In the end, it will all be okay. 👍🏼
Yes...always so much stress related to the equipment! So far...so good.
Zeorian Harvesting & Trucking that’s great! I love when everything is running good! Love your uploads!! I’m a farm tuber too. Keep it up!

When the bins are full, figure the yield.
How are the two of you doing know and what part of America 🇺🇸 are you in know 🤔 😏 😳 😒
We’re in Jordan, Montana. And we’re doing just fine.
I tried so many " bite tests " on harvest I didn't like bread lol
That’s funny!

Thank you for the reply Tracy. I've watched you over the years and can see your love for being in the combine cutting wheat! Take care and be safe!

hOW WIDE IS YOUR FEEDER HOUSE?
I measured it. It is 74” wide.
Typically how many days does wheat harvest last ?
We typically seem to be in one area 10 days to two weeks. However, we’ll be moving a little more quickly this year in Kansas because we have three very close jobs. Depends on the weather and how many acres we have to cut.
Y guys buy a new combine
We traded for a low hour 2019 model. Same payments…
Why is Jim so upset my father was a wheat farmer and his mood was better sorry!!!!!
I had to rewatch this to see what you meant. He wasn’t upset. This was the first time this combine was in wheat so he was on edge. Not upset. The job is stress filled and he doesn’t try to hide it.
Smazing whstvyou can do without irrigation&@
