Thanks for a magnificent and I mean a magnificent video Tracey!!!!!!!!!! So interesting to watch and warms the heart ❤️!!!!!!! Well, after watching this video I have a few words, you know me, I like to write. First: How great was that to have an aircraft land in the field among the machinery and farmers. You don’t see that very often!!!! That picture you all took with the combines and the aircraft will be a keepsake!!!!! Neat to see it land and take off and buzz you before going on. Chance of a lifetime Tracey and Jim!!!!!! Now back to farming. I am normally not at a loss of words BUT now I am after today’s video!!!!!! My eyes are wet and so proud to be along with all of you in this MAGNIFICENT country 🇺🇸!!!!!!! The scenery in today’s video is just amazing and incredible to view. The wheat fields in among those valleys and green areas made for incredible views!!!!!!! The drone operators today get the gold medal for first class scenery and showing the huge difference in the land construction differences. Valleys and canyons and rivers and the wheat fields amongst this is magnificence landscaping!!!! My eyes are wet again seeing the food brought to the field and the families with the children gathered around enjoying their meal among all the machinery!!!!! Life does not get any better than that!!!!!!! Opportunities of a lifetime to be involved with this operation!!!!!! Well, could say more but better cut it short as I have taken up to much space as it is. My heartfelt ❤gratitude for being able to ride with you and see this beautiful country!!!!! You made my day and reminded me I live in a wonderful country called America!!!!!!🇺🇸 You and Jim and everyone take care and be safe. With my blessings always. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊😊👋👍🥇💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸 America The Beautiful Among The Amber Waves Of Grain🇺🇸 You and Jim are the caretakers of that song-bless you both!!!!!!❤
Very very nice video. The scenery is unbelievable out there and I like the one of the family the workers and the kids at supper out in the field. That’s where you don’t get to see you much anymore where everybody can come together everybody be safe from Wisconsin.
Merci pour cette belle vidéo, les paysages sont magnifiques et de vous voir travailler en famille, ça fait plaisir. Moi je suis en France et c'est vraiment pas pareil, nous c'est chacun pour soi, c'est triste. Bon courage à vous ☺️☺️
Before you mentioned the yield, I was going to say that I hadn’t heard you comment about it. 145 bushels is incredible!! That’s the highest yield I’ve seen and I watch several harvest videos from around the country. I had no idea that you would get a yield like that in any part of Montana!!
Great content, the best so far. 😊 A lot of people in general have no idea where their food comes from, how it is produced, the enormous hours of labor from seeding/planting till harvesting plus all the long hours of labor in and around the farms, all the maintenance, repairs of equipment, hauling grain, building or removing bins, etc. etc. Thank you for the wonderful videos and all the work that goes into getting them like this. 👍
Tracy you just keep getting better every video loved all the family in the field for dinner with all the babys the airplane in the field i could travel for years and never get to see all the things I get to see riding around with you all thanks for the ride
Another awesome day in the harvest season, The End of the Winter wheat, but you still have combining to do. This is good. You amaze me how you get all of the little things, and still have plenty of scenery to show up. Great to see the dinner in the fields and the babies. Great to see the politicians show in the field with an Airplane. You have some of the greatest drone shots available. See you on the next edition of Montana Harvest 2024 CYA
It's probably been over 25 years since l've cut wheat and those little bolts used to hold sickle sections had only been out maybe a couple years. They sure sped things up over using rivets and now with the battery powered impact wrenches it's even faster. We just had a 16' head, it would take a long time to replace rivets were still used for a 50'!
I like the way they have to work on the sickle bar. I can remember to having get a tool that popped the blade and rivets off so you could replace them, then you used to it to set the rivets putting it all back together.
Perhaps JD need to uprate their straw choppers to achieve a full cutting width spread? Would be nice to have that organic matter and minerals over the whole field? Very nice video. Thank you/
@@ZeorianHarvestingTruckingAs a combine driver myself, operators often want you to set the width a small fraction less than full to avoid any straw getting up against the edge of the next uncut run as it can build up on the end divider and be a pain to feed the end crop onto the header. That said, they all look set the same amount in which looks too much to me, so l was wondering why they did that or if maybe it’s set as wide as it can spread? Either way it’s not ideal. We have a Claas 8900 with 13.3m (about 42’ for USA viewers) and our spreader can put it further than that as there is a 13.8m header that straw goes right out to the edge, with only very strong cross winds causing trouble.
@@daveklein2826Just interested as to why no full width spread. I always try for it to be no more than 300mm (1foot) short of the standing drop on the next run. Subsequent cultivations bury the straw better if it’s thinner over the whole width, and in super dry conditions the extra organic matter hold moisture for the next crop too.
That is some very good wheat when not long ago 60 bushels was a very good yield I had a ultralight plane land one time in the field when we were cutting wheat he was going to specify airport not far from us and wanted to make sure he was headed in the right direction thank you again for your awesome videos
GO TIM, If I had a son or daughter 13-17 age I would find a farmer and rancher for them to spend the summer at for only room and board so they could get a real education.
I’d give anything for a chance to cut wheat along the Missouri brakes, just used to flat land Alberta for 40 years all of us to Jim and Tracy and the crew
The farm put a lot of effort into feeding the crew. I'm surprised you don't see signs "Will work for food". Nice to see a politician come out to harvesting and get an idea of what goes on and how many people a farmer actually employs. Farming keeps small towns alive. No too often you see planes in a field except rural areas. When I was a kid, in a rice growing area, we saw lots of crop dusters. Once the field is flooded, you can't use tractors to spread extra fertilizer, etc., so it kept the dusters busy. In my time, mostly old navy biplane trainers converted to a sprayer. As I remember, they seeded from a plane, too. After the field was drained and the rice was harvested, it was great pheasant hunting. Late in the fall ducks and geese by the millions. When they harvested rice in the 1950s the combines were tracked not wheeled. Even after the draining, the fields were too muddy for wheels so the grain trucks had to wait for the combines to come out to the road. I can remember a bulldozer stuck and buried up to the top track. It took 2 bigger dozers to pull it out. Tough job, but great entertainment for kids. We sometimes got paid to get sodas and food for the crew from town. Occasionally we were sent for beer. Try that today. Back then gas was 20¢ and diesel even cheaper. I think 14¢ if you got 100 gallons+. And from my own perspective, the diesel was better. Great videos again. Thumbs up!
THANK YOU For your memories! That story was great. And, no, probably won’t be able to get kids to fetch beer these days. Things have certainly changed, haven’t they? Even though, nothing has really changed. Does that make sense? The only thing that’s changed since then is more governmental regulations and rules that were supposed to follow. All in the name of safety and to protect us. 😳
I’ve have harvested a lot of wheat in Ontario Ca. but I must say I have never seen it that plentiful at the throat of the combine anytime. Thats heavy what you got going in there, Tracy. Thanks for the pictures.
Again a Gem of a little film, you can be proud on it. What is also catching my Eye is that everybody feels much more comfortable in front of the Camera, and it makes it even more interesting and wonderful. The Plane coming in is a nice Pearl in the total: anything can happen now, it was pure joy...... Be careful, it seems like Jim is gaining weight instead of loosing it while in harvesting season. The food looks good every time, but looking at Jim it tastes very good also....😇 They are sure taking care for the whole crew... And what a crop, they are really on top of there game if you look at the average rain at there Farm, incredible. And you don't have to say it or show the monitor, the view into the wheat from above shows it all.... Here in Northwest Europe we have low yields for Winter Wheat, and the other grain is not much better. If we have 8000 kg pro hectare/120 bush pro acre, in Holland in average, but I think less. We got to much rain in the fall, and to much in the spring. Average rain in Holland pro year is 120 inch pro acre Highwood is 18 inch pro acre. How was the fall there, and this spring? And looking at the crop I always see a lot of plants, how much Wheat they use for sowing pro acre?
Tracy, I knew that you were cutting some tremendous wheat during all of your videos. After all the acres I have harvested of wheat, barley, oats, corn and soybeans it was obvious to me. We always used to say that if you can't see the ground through the wheat you're in some pretty good wheat. I have harvested over 100 bu wheat, 150 bu oats, over 100 bu barley, and 250 bu corn.
Great drone footage today , it must be the Missouri breaks where you were harvesting . Beautiful landscape as always Tracy . Interesting break when the plane set down in the field . Be safe and thank you for sharing .
Excellent video, great dryland wheat crop, thank you for making it for us and youve got another subscriber. I also like landing my Cessna in farm fields as well.
Welcome! Glad to have you along with us on the journey. If you haven’t watched this video, it may help you to better understand what the heck we’re doing. ruclips.net/video/xWDxXQsOuDI/видео.htmlsi=Jj2unKEC7e8pbFXa
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking Thanks for your reply. I fully understand what youre doing but I still have lots to learn. On my vacation once, I went with Neufeld harvesting out of Inman Ks. running a new JD combine for them for a few weeks. Good folk to work for and I'm sure that you know them. It kinda reminded my of sitting in the Boeing triple 7 airliner.
That is so cool the whole family out there I sure miss custom combining I did it back in the 1980s when I was in high school it sure miss it. I’m almost 60. Might have to find a crew to go again after I retire.
OMG yep that is NUTS Tracy dry land wheat making over 100 bushel per acre. WOW. Hey BTW Tracy and Jim, if you run out of beef jerky stop at a LOVE's Travel stop stock up until you and Jim get more of STAN's Beef Jerky/sticks out of Yukon, Oklahoma.
It has been so lovely watching your harvest videos and seeing you all meet in the barn of a morning reminds me of when i was a little boy growing up on the farm sadly i lost my father in a farming accident when i was only 22 months old they was asked to plough the fields and get as much of the field in as they could and my father was ploughing along the flood dikes and his tractor slid down the bank into the dike he jumped of and made the bank on the other side but sadly the tractor rolled on to his feet and as it sunk in the dike dragged him under the water and silt and he drowned 63 years ago so growing up i used to meet with all the farmers every day i could in the barn and when i was 13 i was bailing the outside three rows if straw so we could disk the edge of the field for a fire brake ready for burning and i had the tractor wheal start to slide down the bank of the ditch and i stood on the brakes and sounded the horn and i was lucky another farmer carting corn herd me and come down to see what was wrong and they put a rope on front of the tractor and pulled me up and out when i got home that night i told my mum and she sold the small holding we lived in and moved away from farming so i am loving watching all your family all working on the farm together and when i get a chance will have to look at older harvests as well you all have a fantastic and also a safe harvest John
A better way for a senate candidate to experience farming Is to till , seed, fertilize, spray, and harvest. We have a genuine farmer representing us now.
@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking the valley thru highwood that runs thru shonkin on the way to Geraldine is called the Big Sag, when montana was underwater the mountains were the dams when the dams collapsed big rivers formed, the big sag is a result from the dam collapsing. The railroad then took over most of the big sag because it's fairly flat and they didn't have to spend so much money. I think there was a you tube video explaining the geological features of the Big Sag, I know I've found fossils in the rock along shonkin of snails and mussels
Yep another amazing video. The mighty Missouri sure does a good job Carving out some beautiful landscape. interesting t shirt jim has on. Should go well with his other t shirt we love to see in. ❤️AMER1CA❤️
Curious of how fast you were going in 100+ bu wheat. Looks like you’re going 3-5 mph. It’s hard for me to believe how those big machines can sort that much material. Biggest I ever run was JD 7720 with 24 ft head. You’d be under 1 mph in that stuff.
Thing about Montana, Wyoming and the dakotas, upland farms have to have heavy winter snows that will stay on the ground for the moisture the spring wheat or HRW if the country will raise it to get the kind of crops. Fertilizer helps but have to have the big winter snows.
If you would tell everyone how much the crop is averaging then everyone will want to know how much money Brett is making, well that he doesn’t know yet because he doesn’t have it all contracted yet and he has to figure the cost of getting it out and hauling it. Wow the different colors on that rock bluff in that valley that was cool ✌🏻👍🇺🇸
I honestly don’t know how many acres they farm. A lot. I really have no reason to know this number. And if I did, out of respect for them, I wouldn’t share.
I grew up and farmed very nearly next door to this place and they farmed 18,000 acres. I was flagged down several times by farmers from the midwest asking questions about the massive equipment and field sizes!
Love sickle and guard maintance. Those are some long sickles...something thats needs to be done to get the best out of your cutting bar. Rocks and debris are hard on them. Looks like a good day. On the spring wheat will you do a test cut and check the moisture. I could tell that the bussel was high by the way the speed you were traveling and the way the wheat was flowing across the header. Beautiful site of that grain. Bet that drum was a humming in the belly of that green beast you're driving. It's going to be a tight senate race in Montana. Tester/Sheehy, pick your poison. Have a great day and be safe.
I believe one of the bars broke. There are two in that larger header. Didn’t take long for them to get it changed out. Much different than the good ‘ole days. The spring wheat is dry. We’re cutting 9% right now.
That video was nothing short of spectacular.......just beautiful! Everybody please VOTE!
Thank you!! YES!!! PLEASE VOTE!
Awesome scenery, polical candidate, hard working ranchers and helpers, great crop, God bless America and all plus family old and young

On my vacation once, I went with Neufeld harvesting out of Inman Ks. running a new JD combine for them for a few weeks. Good folk to work for and I'm sure that you know them.
It kinda reminded my of sitting in the Boeing triple 7 airliner.
@@John-nc4bl I absolutely do know them! Keith and Sally are wonderful people. Lucky for you to have gone with them!
That is so cool the whole family out there I sure miss custom combining
I did it back in the 1980s when I was in high school it sure miss it. I’m almost 60. Might have to find a crew to go again after I retire.
There ya go!! I bet you would find a job. All crews are suffering from lack of employees. Good and responsible…
Amen guys.
❤️
OMG yep that is NUTS Tracy dry land wheat making over 100 bushel per acre. WOW. Hey BTW Tracy and Jim, if you run out of beef jerky stop at a LOVE's Travel stop stock up until you and Jim get more of STAN's Beef Jerky/sticks out of Yukon, Oklahoma.
We could do that! Is their jerky sold at Loves?
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking Not sure if Stan's jerky is being sold at Love's.

What a wonderful video. These drone shots are absolutely breathtaking.
Yes! Katie does a wonderful job with the drone shots!
It has been so lovely watching your harvest videos and seeing you all meet in the barn of a morning reminds me of when i was a little boy growing up on the farm sadly i lost my father in a farming accident when i was only 22 months old they was asked to plough the fields and get as much of the field in as they could and my father was ploughing along the flood dikes and his tractor slid down the bank into the dike he jumped of and made the bank on the other side but sadly the tractor rolled on to his feet and as it sunk in the dike dragged him under the water and silt and he drowned 63 years ago so growing up i used to meet with all the farmers every day i could in the barn and when i was 13 i was bailing the outside three rows if straw so we could disk the edge of the field for a fire brake ready for burning and i had the tractor wheal start to slide down the bank of the ditch and i stood on the brakes and sounded the horn and i was lucky another farmer carting corn herd me and come down to see what was wrong and they put a rope on front of the tractor and pulled me up and out when i got home that night i told my mum and she sold the small holding we lived in and moved away from farming so i am loving watching all your family all working on the farm together and when i get a chance will have to look at older harvests as well you all have a fantastic and also a safe harvest
John
What a tragic accident! Goodness. I would have done the same thing as your mom! Hope you enjoy watching the older videos!
A better way for a senate candidate to experience farming Is to till , seed, fertilize, spray, and harvest. We have a genuine farmer representing us now.
👍🏻
😂😂😂😂
I’m number 1🎉🎉🎉 never happened before😁 you all have a bountiful day and be safe🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s FUN!
Spring wheat ready
Yep!
Awesome scenery! 😮😊❤🙏🏿
👍🏻👍🏻❤️
That's called the big sag, love chasing cows thru that!!
Can you explain what you mean?
@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking the valley thru highwood that runs thru shonkin on the way to Geraldine is called the Big Sag, when montana was underwater the mountains were the dams when the dams collapsed big rivers formed, the big sag is a result from the dam collapsing. The railroad then took over most of the big sag because it's fairly flat and they didn't have to spend so much money. I think there was a you tube video explaining the geological features of the Big Sag, I know I've found fossils in the rock along shonkin of snails and mussels
@@AaronPederson-m9j VERY INTERESTING! Thank you!
Your videos are wonderful

I bought that shirt for him while at the Alamo several years ago. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video good to see y'all
❤️👍🏻
Curious of how fast you were going in 100+ bu wheat. Looks like you’re going 3-5 mph. It’s hard for me to believe how those big machines can sort that much material. Biggest I ever run was JD 7720 with 24 ft head. You’d be under 1 mph in that stuff.
I never got much more than 2.5. I was 2 and under most of the day. With the heat and the crop, I couldn’t push the machine too hard.
I'm getting homesick especially now when hurricane Debby is knocking on our doorstep in Central Florida.
Yikes!
Good video
👍🏻thank you!
Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
Tracy you let the cat out of the bag, land prices will double with those kind of yields. Another amazing video, and family.
Well, it was a nice pocket of wheat that I just had to share it!
Thing about Montana, Wyoming and the dakotas, upland farms have to have heavy winter snows that will stay on the ground for the moisture the spring wheat or HRW if the country will raise it to get the kind of crops. Fertilizer helps but have to have the big winter snows.
My gosh you do such a good job filming
😊
Thanks so much, Tony!
If you would tell everyone how much the crop is averaging then everyone will want to know how much money Brett is making, well that he doesn’t know yet because he doesn’t have it all contracted yet and he has to figure the cost of getting it out and hauling it. Wow the different colors on that rock bluff in that valley that was cool ✌🏻👍🇺🇸
Thank you. And, yes, the scenery is just amazing
Was that a Supercub that came to visit ????
I’m not sure.
Very very nice video thankyou!!!!
Thank you!
13:43 looks like a pivot irrigation track..
Sprayer tracks. No pivots in this neck of the woods.
How many acres of wheat do you have? I am amazed at the fields. It’s like they go on forever. I’m from southern Indiana.
I honestly don’t know how many acres they farm. A lot. I really have no reason to know this number. And if I did, out of respect for them, I wouldn’t share.
I grew up and farmed very nearly next door to this place and they farmed 18,000 acres. I was flagged down several times by farmers from the midwest asking questions about the massive equipment and field sizes!
@@randallvoth8810 - I guess I feel like I understand their curiosity but it’s none of anyone’s business at the same time.
Awesome video
Thanks so much!
Looking good Tracy
Thanks!
Very good Video 👍
Thanks, Timmy
Love sickle and guard maintance. Those are some long sickles...something thats needs to be done to get the best out of your cutting bar. Rocks and debris are hard on them. Looks like a good day. On the spring wheat will you do a test cut and check the moisture. I could tell that the bussel was high by the way the speed you were traveling and the way the wheat was flowing across the header. Beautiful site of that grain. Bet that drum was a humming in the belly of that green beast you're driving. It's going to be a tight senate race in Montana. Tester/Sheehy, pick your poison. Have a great day and be safe.
The Case IH 620 looks good in the other wise green Machinery setup
I believe one of the bars broke. There are two in that larger header. Didn’t take long for them to get it changed out. Much different than the good ‘ole days. The spring wheat is dry. We’re cutting 9% right now.
What type of spring wheat will you harvest? Is it hard or soft ? The soil must be very good to be able grow that good of yield.
It is hard spring wheat. I think this part of Montana has been blessed with a high yield.
