Kate is like a little fairy princess on the farm. She is so sweet and compelling that you want to follow her every step. I hope she enjoys some long periods of good health.

People that can build things are amazing. I was impressed with a neighbor's garden kit building.

My heart just melted when you reached out and held your grandpa's arm! You are a beautiful, graceful and charming young woman Kate! I've always wondered what it was like inside those old elevators. Very cool video! It would have been hilarious if you had a special effect when your dad got on that man lift. Speed it up super fast, then show him at the top with smoke coming out of his ears. LOL God Bless

I grew up on a farm and as a little boy, back in the 50s I can still remember my dad taking me with him to the grain elevators. I was always in awe of them. Then as an adult, I moved from Ontario to Calgary, Alberta and all the way driving out west, I loved looking at the old prairie grain elevators. Most people would be taking pictures of the scenery, I was taking pictures of the grain elevators. To this day, I am still fascinated by them. Your dad said in the video "old and decrepit", I think they are beautiful.

I’m a news subscriber in my mid 70’s but while I laugh about Kate’s “egg” (odd pronunciation) I couldn’t figure out why I was captured by this channel! I’ve figured out that these segments are about family working together for everyone’s benefit. It’s also about good men! Real Montana men who work hard and deal with bad weather, machine breakdowns and doing it all under the Big Sky of Montana. But most of all I love Kate’s relationships with the men in her life AND her willingness to try new things under her dad’s watchful, patient but instructive care! I was raised in two farming communities and always loved big trucks and farming. Thanks for great segments on American eggriculture 😍!

Thank you Kate for your videos of farm life. I was fortunate to live on a farm growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I see how much technology has changed! Your old combine was just rolling off the line when I left farming to head off to university. That moisture tester, in the grainery, was just like the one our neighbor had. Such cool antique technology of the past. Every spring and fall I still get “farming fever” and wish I could find a farm to work on even just for a few days. Thank you for the memories, and all you are doing to teach THIS era about where our food comes from!

You, my dear Kate, come from a long line of Incredible farmers. Geniuses level farmers! To create a 100 plus year of grain elevator like this, that has stood the test of time in Montana, expose to the Montana elements is truly amazing! Please do all you have to have your dad, uncles, Grandpa teach you as much as they can! I love how you are documenting everything, and doing your very best to share with as many as you can! Home stead farmers are a very different kind, and breed of person! Super smarter then your average people! In homesteading you have to literally do everything! I know this because the Family my sister Tracey Married into is named Dunkleberg! They are a historical Canton, NY Family, they goes back 225 years of farming in NYS. They diary farmed up until the price of milk per lb dropped below $1.00 per lb on in NYS. That was back on the early 90s. So they switch to raising angus, and Holstein beef cows for meat. At the moment their herd is 65. I spoke to my sister yesterday, and the price of calves is between $250.00 to $350.00 dollars. I love as you do workin g on the farm! The ability to do for yourself, to work the land, raise the animals for market, passion you see before your own eyes as things grow! Then you bring them to the market place. Sadly folks don’t appreciate where their food stuffs come from, and how they get to market! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for sharing all that you do so folks can learn! How has the generations of women you are born into, truly impacted your life, what amazing lessons have you learned from them? Please keep up the amazing work!

My Dad's farm in Kansas had an old granary barn that had a big wheel in the upstairs for hauling a platform loaded with bags of wheat to upper storage cubicles. The wheel was powered by a man pulling a loop of rope that went around the large wooden wheel. Another rope wound around a smaller shaft that pulled the wheat up. I was told that a thrashing machine was run by a steam engine on our farm in the old days. The barn is still standing and my sister lives on that farm. There used to be a large barn that was build with pegged beams as the structure. Hail and high wind knocked it off its foundation in the 1970s. Good work on your granary tour. Nice video.
