Day 13 (8/4) - Highwood, Montana Harvest 

My husband and I love to watch the daily updates on what your family is doing. He was raised on a farm, but not me. I enjoy the machinery and the crops as I know nothing about them. Pictures of Montana are beautiful. We live in southern Missouri.

When I get the notification that a new video is ready to watch, I'll give it a 👍 before viewing it. Yes, they're that good! ❤👌👏

When you can see further than you could walk in a day you know somewhere special. Thank you.

Great to watch again. The drone footage are great again! I guess the drone can be used for fun but also to check the land or when there is a fire you can watch it from above. Montana is beautiful!

Like the other viewers I never tire of seeing those combines harvesting ! Sitting in my easy chair I get a little itchy remembering riding a “ bagger “ then the task of gathering the filled bags , you prayed your millers knot held !

Thanks for being salt and light in this world and helping us all.

thanks for another great video, you do such a nice job making these videos, see ya tomorrow!!!!!!!

If we had a long day of harvest I would get leg cramps once I got on the ground from sitting so long . Long , long days wear on a person . Glad to see that your getting some rain up there . Everyone can sleep in and get some much needed rest . Tracy the landscape is simply beautiful . Thank you so much for sharing your harvest work . Be safe

I've gotta say those prime movers look so good, they like they're going to a show!!!!!!!!!!!!.....🤠👍

Tracy, you were correct. The videos were awesome. You can see from the videos that we are totally blessed to live in the USA. I also see why you and Jim keep coming back to do the fall harvest. Hope you can keep doing it for lots of years more as you are blessed to be able to do it and you are enjoying it!!

Thank you Jim and Tracy and crew for providing another update video I loved the scenery that Katie provided .GOD surely has provided some beauitful scenery And I am glad that you get to share that beautiful scenery with your viewers. As for me I can only dream of taking in this scenery. Again thank you for sharing these videos and all the hard wok you and the crew .GOD BLESS YOU AND THE CREW FOR A CONTINUE DSAFE HARVEST.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Tracey, I was the mother of the bride that got married there last year. Hate I am not this year but so glad to get to see videos of the old family farm and surrounding area. Love the drone shots! Hey try backing BBC a car down that Shepherd’s hill I totally darkness and pouring rain back when it had very little gravel on it! Thanks again! These videos mean so much to me.

As always LIKE

Another great video. You are recording history for the family that you both are helping the generations that follow will greatly appreciate your effort with the camera.

You know Tracy I think you have a cult like flowing and for good reason the most stunning views everything you record is so amazing and every day you start with a smile and good morning that brings a smile thanks for the ride

Thankyou .short days are nice .enjoyed the variety you showed in this .

That’s beautiful drone footage of some awesome landscapes!!! Keep them coming for several years from now! You have an awesome place to work & some awesome people to work with!!!

Tracy i was hoping that Jim was going to give us words of wisdom when you were in the shop . take care .

Excellent video's, great drone shots, love the music added!

My grandfather use to say about predicting rain in Montana is a science all in it's self. You have a 50/50 chance of being right....Glad spring wheat is going well. Have a good day, get some rest. See you on the next one...be safe

👍👍 great great video all I can say is keep them coming 😀

When I watch your videos of Montana, I always think of one of my favorite western writers, Ivan Doig. Most of his books are about Montana. He wrote one novel, “Bucking the Sun,” about the construction of the Fort Peck Dam that you might enjoy if you have not read it. My favorites of his work are “This House of Sky,” a memoir and “Dancing at the Rascal Fair,” the second book in a trilogy.

That was so cool of Tim Sheehy to fly in to talk with actual hard working farmers instead of high paid lobbyists. The drone footage is awesome! The plane looked so small compared to the combines. Thanks for the video! Stay safe!😊❤

Great scenery and insight into harvest in the USA. Your videos are the closest I am likely to get to it living in N. Ireland. Thanks for all of them. Trevor

Another great video. Stay safe!

Yep another awesome video. Batman showed up again. Spectacular drone footage. ❤️AMER1CA❤️

Loved the video !! Short day !! Looks like a good patch of spring wheat !!😊

Hope you had a nice relaxing evening that is so well deserved. Another superb video and great drone videos also that show the lay of the beautiful land! Thankyou!

Always start the day with a good cup of coffee. Those fields are vast. Looks like they are a mile long. Then you have the patches. Looks like you got rained out. You can use the time you get off early. Always nice to be doing something that you enjoy doing..looking for the next chapter in Montana Wheat Harvest 2024. CYA

Thank you for taking the time to make the amazing videos, and thank you for sharing the drone video they are amazing

you should talk them in to driving the x9

I just found your channel a few days ago and I have to say, you have to be a special kind of farmer to farm the terrain you have to deal with, but it makes for some beautiful scenery for when you are farming!

Tracie good music with video great vacation be safe God bless.

Good morning!😊 What a great video. Hope you have a great day!

👋 from across the river in Carter! Enjoying watching your videos again this year.

Awesom video Tracy! I swear I can smell the grain dust! Beautiful drone footage!

I was thinking~~it's too bad Frankie wasn't in the field for the photo op when then airplane was there a couple of days ago. You kids would have bawled your eyes out! Another great video Tracy! Even a "non-wheatie" like me noticed a difference later in the day compared to earlier in the day. Enjoy your earlier finish time!

Take a moment to accept the blessings of our lord for some rain, rest, and beautiful scenery. God bless you all

Wow it's an amazing video I love Montana! I'm from Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil🇧🇷

I’m a farmer in northern Illinois we do corn beans hay and we bale some wheat straw from a neighbor from one farmer to another be safe

Beautiful drone footage. Thanks for sharing. Just in awe of the landscape

We sure don't get to see scenery like that here in Minnesota. We had 2-1/4 inches of rain today. Last week we had 2 inches so we are wet. It can stop so the fields dry out for harvest.

Amazing how much better these crops are yielding than Welker's in Shelby just 50 miles away. This area must have gotten a couple more timely rains.

hi from turkey, thank you for video.

Tremendous amount of lightning here today, now in between storms.

Great video and Drone shouts 😊

Another gem y’all, enjoy the short rain break😁

Thank you for Carter Montana now kinder know where you at !

Thanks Katie and Nick for sharing more cool drone footage. Traci, can you explain why all wheat is not Winter wheat if yield is so much better for Winter wheat.

I’m 😔 sad, last two videos we didn’t get to see what was for dinner lol😂

Thanks for another awesome video Tracey and Jim. It was so interesting and enjoyable to watch for sure. Before I get into today, Just a note to thank you once again for the link to the history of your harvest family. I posted my thoughts on that day 25 video from last year. You made my day!!!!!!’ Thanks again. Steve. Now back to today. The drone footage showing the Belt Creek area was just out of this world Beautiful!!!!!! Wow, such a fantastic area to enjoy!!!!! Great work Katie with the drone footages. You are a great drone operator!!!!!! Also thanks to Nick for the drone footage when the airplane came to visit. What a fantastic keepsake picture that made!!!!! Combines and airplanes, don’t see that real often. Thanks Nick!!!! Your combine footage today was awesome once again. The spring wheat even looks thick and heavy in some areas. Good year for the crop production. Lots of hills and valleys and narrow roads to negotiate in this area. You did great with your combine, great work Tracey!!!!! Combines are not easiest to keep balanced in terrain like that, nice going!!! Beautiful country once again with great scenery and the town of Carter in the distance. Interesting!!!!!’ The rain stopped harvest but gave you all some down time to relax a bit and enjoy!!!! Nice to have that time to share one another’s company and visit about your harvest days. About it I guess for Day 13. Totally enjoyed another harvest video in beautiful Montana!!!! You and Jim and all the crew take care and be safe. Anxious to catch the Day 14 video tomorrow. Thanks for everything Tracey!!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊😊👋👍👍✅🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸❤

I hope you enjoyed your evening and got to go to bed early.😴

Hello from southern Brazil ! Great vídeo 👏👏👏🚜🚜🚜

Another great video. Just to witness that in person, to take in the sights, sounds smells of the harvest, is on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing.

Hi! Just wanted to comment on your videos. I came across you and Jim several years ago when you were moving south to Sharon, KS. You drove through Pratt and I recognized the town as I was born there 60+ years ago. I have been watching you since. I really like the videos you put out. I do have a question for you. My dad farmed around Isabel, KS for 20 or more years and harvested a lot of wheat. We didn't cut as low as you are in MT. Is there a reason you cut so low? Dad never wanted that much straw going through the combine unless the wheat was down and we had no choice. Thank you for all the time you put into getting these videos out. I know harvest is a lot of work itself. To then video and take the time to edit it and get it on You Tube just adds so much more time. Just so you know, it is greatly appreciated!!! Videos like these are the only way I get to farm any more!!! Thanks again and God Bless!!!

Nice looking Rigs

All the best haven't started harvesting yet still 2 fields of hay to cut hopefully get one cut tomorrow weather has been atrocious since may rain rain barley was supposed to be sprayed of but amount of rain just loose it all take care and all the best from us north east Aberdeenshire Scotland

Nice work

My husband and I enjoy your videos very much. Do Katie and Nick have their own channel? Also, I have a request. I would love to see a video about the kitchen crew and their hard work in preparing the food for the crew. Thanks again Tracey, for such good content.

Do they have a maintenance crew that serves and cleans the equipment at night? They always seem to be clean in the mornings. I just love these videos!

For the non farmers who watch your excellent videos Tracy could you explain why spring Wheat is grown which yields less and presumably less profit than turning all the land over to Winter Wheat which yields heavier and generally looks a better crop.

VERY NICE

See ya All Tomorrow !!!

This video is pure gold! Thanks for making my day better.

Love the drone shots of the beautiful terrain there. Beautiful harvest and family

Good Morning to the Z Crew and all your friends, too.

The space is so ideal to experience, I love it

Thanks yal stay safe !

Do they have those sprinklers set up to help wake you up in the morning??😂

Great video AND fantastic drone footage!! I understand your working against the weather clock BUT people need rest too!!! Ye even stop to eat??

I bet some one would enjoy a dog to ride along in the cab. any more deer, or roosters , coyote?

Great video. Are you running the same JD 780 as last year?

ADMIRO MUITO SEU TRABALHO, SAUDAÇÕES DO BRASIL

Tracy is Jimmy being grouchy today? Maybe the early off today will help.

How many miles on your combine and I enjoy your channel

Fantastic work you guys. Is it problematic when you're in massive fields if you need a toilet break?

👍👍👍👍👍

good harvest good day harvesting be happy joyful and full of energy. Busy day ends good sleep.,,,,,,,,,,shaleel ahmad Pakistan.

I always do my thumbs up first so I don't forget. Really appreciate the videos. The drone shots are awesome! What's the difference between spring and winter wheat? The same seed different time or a different variety?

How's the temperatures in the afternoon? Morning? Yields better than last year???

Sorry I mentioned rain in my last post- but you guys needed a break. Question - does spring wheat get used for a different purpose than winter wheat? Yield is less- so does one get used for cattle feed other used for human consumption? Stupid question, but wondering what's difference

👍 ❤

Hi Tracey…was wondering if your settings change for spring wheat?

Just curious if you do your own servicing on the combine you drive....greasing/ fueling and blowing down , cleaning cab n windows?...or do you and Jim just have to turn up and drive each day?

Do you happen to know if the price for winter wheat is close to the same price as spring wheat?

🙏👍💪❤

Do you stay in a bunkhouse on the property?
