NEW Swather: Exciting start to the Montana Harvest 2024

NEW Swather:1st Day of Montana Harvest 2024

In today’s video, I’m excited to introduce the new John Deere swather that my dad recently acquired for our farm. This marks our first year using it for harvest, and it’s also my first day back on the farm for this season’s operations. This summer, I was in Toulouse, France, doing an agricultural internship focusing on research and content creation of ancient grains. Throughout the video, you'll meet Uncle Chris, Darcy, Dad, and Jim, who are all integral to our harvest crew. I’ll also provide an in-depth look at the swather, showcasing its features and how it will enhance our harvesting process. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into our farm’s latest addition and the start of this year’s harvest!

My Story…
Hello, I’m Kate Stephens, a 20-year-old 4th generation farmer from Montana. My family's roots in farming run deep, stretching back to 1912 when my great-grandfather emigrated from Denmark and began cultivating the land we still work today. Farming has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; I started learning the ropes at just two years old and now operate one of our combines during harvest. I believe in the importance of understanding where our food comes from, and I hope to share that knowledge in a fun and engaging way through my YouTube videos and products. Kate’s Ag is more than just a brand—it's an extension of our farm, a celebration of the grains we've been growing to feed families for over a century. I hope you find as much joy in my products as I do because they carry the legacy of our land and the hard work of generations.

LOL Your dad is priceless. I started belly laughing when you asked your dad if he wanted to say hi. In his typical dead-pan style he replied "Not really." Your dad is priceless.

Thanks, Kate! It's always fascinating to learn more about about the family's farming operations. (Makes me homesick for Montana.)

I hope you can do some kind of video about your ancient grains experience.

Please say hi to your Uncle Chris for me!
