Harvest Disaster! Spring Wheat 2021
We are cutting Spring Wheat and it is a DISASTER! The Saw Flies have cut about 80% of the wheat and it is laying on the ground. Our combines cannot pick it up. It is costing us more to run the combines than we could ever get out of it. This is really bad! We planted the Spring Wheat about 2 weeks early and it got some good precipitation before the drought. We didn't realize the Saw Flies had devastated our crop!!! We didn't have anyone to swath it but we should have found someone because this is a disaster! We see a lot of hawks in the field today. I explain what we are doing and I get out of the combine to show you what has happened to our crop!
I hope you enjoy my video! Thank you for watching!

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 - Farm to Fashion 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.

Hey Kate, Greetings from Dawson County, Montana. Dumping on the go was always stressful. There was only 2 feet between the truck and combine. When I was farming, I ran into the combine several in as a farmer. Bent metal, downtime fixing the latest disaster and a plethora of "Working Words" was the result of such an event. It was usually the hottest time of the day as well. Augh yes. the joys of farming. When I was farming +20 years ago, I grew wheat that had a solid stem; thus denying the little darlings of the destructive fun of cutting down the crop. It's ALWAYS something that needs to be addressed. Thank you for sharing your harvest moments with us. Take care and be safe Kate.

@LtColDaddy71 2 года назад

I’d love to give our little stripper header a try on that downed wheat. It’s only 20 feet, it would take forever, but the grains we grow are super tall and they lodge pretty easily because they lack the genetic improvements of modern wheat. Their is a lot of rotating machinery in that style header and it causes a vacuum effect that stands up downed plants, then combs the heads off.

@KatesAg 2 года назад

Hi Mr. Vicarri! I have been learning about the stripper headers and they seem pretty neat. Thank you for your great comment!

Now that you have combined the field, can you rake the downed wheat into windrows with a hay rake, then go over them with a combine to try to recover some more wheat? Might be worth trying a few acres to see if it's worth it. The sunset behind you is beautiful at the end of your video!! Another great and informative Kate's Ag video!! :)

Kate. (I really love your videos). In Montana, can you get hold of "Combine Lifters"? When I was farming in the UK we use to put them on the front of the fingers of the cutting bar at about 12 inch spacing and they would lift the flat crop up above the knife, so it could enter the combine.

@KatesAg 2 года назад

Thank you for your kind words and great story!! I will let my dad know and I think they tried them.

@edschultheis9537 2 года назад

In the Palouse Region of Washington state and Idaho (USA) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palouse , these lifters are used for crops like lentils and dry peas which grow close to the ground. They lift the crop just enough so that the sickle can cut them off about 1-2 inches from the ground. Our farm is about 275 miles from western Montana, but I never heard of a saw fly until I watched this video. In the Palouse, wheat and barley is almost never swathed before harvesting.

@dr.michaelr.foreman2170 2 года назад

As you may remember, I told you about the farmers using pickup headers to pick up the wheat knocked down by winds etc. You can do the same thing with your spring wheat the sawflies got at without using the swather. If we Canadians can do it without swathing you sure as all heck can. It's better than letting it all go to waste.

What a treat! A new Kate video, Sunday morning and an enforced lie in because my granddaughter Kate doesn't allow me wandering around early on Sundays when she is in the kitchen. My Kate is thirteen years old. Here. about 2/3 of the way up the very active volcano Mt Merapi in Java in Indonesia 21.5 kms North of the City of Yogyakarta, we are about 14 hours ahead of you I think. Grandma, Kate and I live here in the middle of the wet rice fields in a large wooden house on 48 legs. The fields are very small and terraced to take care of the steep hill, our world up here is all about the slope! The farming is done mostly by hand on plots owned by local families who combine with each other in village cooperatives. Ploughing between crops used to be done by oxen pulled single tine ploughs but recently the local ploughman retired his ox and bought a second hand tractor he walks behind struggling to direct it by the sheer strength of his rather skinny arms. The machine is basically two big wheels and a motor with the controls on the long handlebars. Our Kate has grown up with us here in the countryside, her mum lives in the city to the south of us, down hill. Kate is studying online at the moment but due to get back into school soon in the city which is a 40 kms round trip each day, roughly, in our old 8 seater Suzuki. Kate prefers studying online but Gma and I say she needs to socialise more, so we are making sure she gets back to it soon. Just thought I would let you know that your videos are being enjoyed in Central Java. Thank you Kate you are doing a great job. Our wheat flour is all imported, I like to think it starts in your fields. We have a small bakery at home here and I imagine sometimes the journey the ingredients have made to get to be the bun surrounding the burgers I make for Kate, the pastry case on a beef and onion pie and so on.

I guess maybe those flies are evolving and can now get into the solid stem of the spring wheat? What's the life cycle of the flies? Are the eggs hatched and gone by the time crop is harvested or are they still in the straw left behind? Should the fields be burned after harvest to destroy the eggs or are they being exported in baled straw? So many questions, so little time..... hahahaha

Another very informative video. Thanks for teaching the viewing public about where their food and fiber comes from. Thanks for reinforcing the values of family, honesty, patience, hard work, and gratitude. Your example may be your most important product (but I like my wheat and lentils and your tote bags are really cute!)

The first combine i operated had a 16-foot header super 72 massy ferguson even our more modern 410s 510 combines had 16-foot headers that's less than 1/2 the length you are running..... I have to admit you are an amazing woman!

Kate, I guess you have to get what you can get from the fields. Those saw flies are devastating to your crops. Nice job dumping on the run. Great video.Thank YOU, Stay safe & more please!

@KatesAg 2 года назад

Thank you for your kind words! Yes I agree we can only harvest what is left.

@BrodieBr0 2 года назад

Awww...so sad to see so much soft lie with your wheat Kate :( We've been there too on my farm and as you said there's nothing to be done about it. The one good out of this is you're getting a lot of good expereince running the combine and doing a great job of it! God bless! Take care and stay safe!

@KatesAg 2 года назад

Yes I totally agree! This is a great experience, even though it is really disappointing! Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!

Thanks Kate, I really enjoy your videos. You mentioned that no one was available to swath your wheat before the saw flies got to it, but for 90% losses in yield, I would think you could afford your own swathing equipment. Thanks.

@KatesAg 2 года назад

Thank you for your comment and kind words! We do have our own swathing equipment. The problem is we can't babysit someone in a field while they swath so we didn't have anyone who could run it who knows our land.

Hello Kate, very interesting video again 👍👍👍. Today Deere meet hawks, lol 😁😊. That with the sawflies seems to be horrible there....all hard work wasted ☹️. I just wonder, that it's impossible to spray something against those damn sawflies. Nevertheless have a nice harvest. God bless you and your family. Kind regards from Bavaria, Germany.

@KatesAg 2 года назад

Thank you for your kind words! These Saw Flies are really frustrating!!

@franklinhoogreef 2 года назад

Well made video about the problems you can experience when harvesting. Well done Kate. I hope that the next film gives a more positive picture and that your harvest will still be not too bad this year. Good luck!

Hi Miss Kate ! As always it was good to see you and get another lesson in harvesting. I am sorry you all didn't have a good yield on that field, I know most farmers depend on a decent harvest to survive. But maybe you will have a good yield on the rest of your fields. I'm glad their were no breakdowns to add to the already stressful season. it looked like I could see in the background what looked like the area where the fires took place. I don't know if you noticed when you were signing off by the School house , The beautiful sunset. It was really beautiful how the sun was shining through the clouds. Well I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. looking forward to seeing you next time.

@KatesAg 2 года назад

Hi Mr. Eady! Thank you for your wonderful and kind words!! This has been a challenging harvest and we know we are going to have years like this. The saw flies and the drought are a bit more than we probably expected though. I agree the sunset is so beautiful and we park our rigs by the old school house which is really neat.

Hello kate I am very sorry for what happened in your crop that sawfly is very terrible. Thanks for explanaining the controls of your combine so I can learn how to drive a john deere harvester😀. Another fantastic video, I wish you the next year goes in the best way and that you will have a great production.
