hello welcome to Kate's Ag today we are combining the field with
a really steep hill and i'm about to go down it
we started a little bit early this morning because it is supposed to rain
it's raining in all the towns around us so we're definitely getting a rainstorm
on camera it doesn't look like a very steep hill but it really is
a hawk just flew right there and i think that's his feather and i'm going to go out and see
oh wow it's cold out i just want to see if this is the feather where is it oh my gosh it is
i got my first hawk feather of the year from the wheat spot i'm super happy
oh my gosh exciting now i'm going to turn my machine back on my dad always used to stop the
combine when i was little and get me a feather so it's really cool that i have my own now
i found a hawk feather they're just waiting around for a snack of a baby
no don't say that i just unloaded in the grain cart and if you see that pickup in the field
over there that's my grandpa just watching the operation this is the hill i'm going to be going
down here in a second you have to be in first gear my dad said he was in second gear and he
could not get his combine to stop on this hill it kept rolling faster and faster so he that
had very little control over it which is why he radioed to me and said make sure you put it in
first i'm on the top of the hill unloading in the green cart my dad just suggested to our green car
driver that he start unloading us at the bottom here because that's where we'll all fill up so
i'll unload here and then i'll also do a small unload there and then i was just waiting at
the top of the hill because he was at the bottom unloading my dad and jim and when they get up here
we'll all be together which will make it a lot easier on our green card my dad and jim are coming
up the hill right now and then we'll all head down together that's my dad right there with the duel
so i'll pull in behind him and then jim will be behind me because his grain tank holds the most
there's jim right there i'm going to set my header down and then there's my dad i've got
a pretty steep pass down this hill as you can see right by the rock pile and look at that bird it's
so windy he just looks like he's floating that's a weird swath it goes right around
the rock pile and starts right there so someone will have to get that did you want me to do that
swath that goes right around the rock pile yeah i can do that later i'm not picking up
that swath around the rock pile right there my dad's going to do that one so i'm just roting
over to this part right here drop my header and combine youtube go ahead and i'll take the other
i'm on a side hill right now as you can see i'm really angled this direction
going 1.7 miles an hour we've all just parked here and we're ready to go to lunch
there's some case combines over there that are harvesting in the field next to us
they are custom cutters and then there's lunch over there
dad and i are at lunch and look what dad found so what is that no one knows maybe grandpa knows
this hill is so steep and the part i'm driving down right now that darcy was telling me at lunch
you can't see it going up the hill you have to see it going down or if you have very little seed left
in your tank you can go up it but if you're full you have to go down it really gotta hold on tight
after this the hill isn't too bad anymore my dad has to work the cart with his auger a bit because
if you can see there's a grain piling up so it's getting kind of full the clouds are starting to
move in and we might be stopping earlier than we thought it was supposed to rain very early this
morning but i think these are rain clouds coming in here the green cart goes away and i absolutely
filled it he can't hold one more green kernel pretty much it just started raining right now so
we will probably done harvesting here in a second at around 1 30 p.m so there's a couple
of raindrops on the window not enough to stop us right now but we're just finishing this field and
i doubt we'll move to another one tonight because it is rain well we might move the combines there
but i don't think we'll start another field and darcy is leaving with his truck which he
ended up tarping my dad's getting the last row of this field and then i'm going to row down and see
what we're going to do next is that the last row of this field dad yep he's nodding his head so it
is i'm going to let my header clean out and then shut it off it's raining a little bit more just
sprinkling barely but i just don't think we're going to start another field i am going to put it
into second gear because i can't bear to drive the whole field in going five miles an hour i really
want to go eight now i'm in second gear and i'm going eight miles an hour which makes going across
this field feel a lot faster got a little bit of a [ __ ] here i'm going to line up to the grain cart
my header started going up and down because i came over a little bit of a bump in the field
and i didn't slow down for it my k-tig tote bag has gotten quite dirty during harvest time
as you can see i use it a lot it goes on the dirt it gets grease on it but i still love it
are they cutting that when i left we just finished this field i mean that little people
because you got a copy going and one broke down i think they got a little bit to do here my dad
is cleaning off the top of his combine now i'm going to follow my dad and see
where we're going next now it's sprinkling again so i think we're definitely going to get rain
said right now is the beginning of it and probably lightning and thunderstorms as well it looks like
we're going to road the combine somewhere oh maybe not do you want me to come around and
i'm not sure what you want me to do oh we are parking the combines
my combine's rolling backwards so i'm going to put the parking brake on
and it looks like we're stopping for today jim just pulled his combine up and we've got our
last semi truck leaving so it looks like we finished for today because we've got rained
out right out at my dad's shop and i see this huge fire going so i'm going to drive
go and check it out it looks scary i know uncle chris is getting the discs so let's go find out
another fire here's what the fire looks like from the highway wow
fire trucks are now headed out here it's gonna be bad you can see the smoke from the field
fire right back here it's becoming a huge fire and my dad's filling up the sprayer right now
with water hi jim oh sorry well not so good now that i see the huge massive field fire
oh yeah it's going this way yeah i know and fast it's a thousand gallon tank
all right my dad and i are in the sprayer right now
it doesn't look like there's nearly as much smoke
i don't know where it's at i haven't seen it yet
i think that was another lightning yeah that's not right that's not dad's trap
that's a kind of cool looking tractor though you have to admit they got it put out fast
there was the lightning oh that's not good oh it is in the cooley all these fires and the [ __ ]
we're gonna do a fire break around march
yeah that would have been bad if we got into this we would have come right up to the house but it
is starting to rain that's a bonus that's my dad's shop right there so it was in very close proximity
and everything in between the fire and my house oh these are big raindrops bigger than
we normally have they pretty much got it out except for the really steep part in the cooley
all right this is the aftermath of the fire it did rain so that's really awesome and it all
got put out except for a little bit in the cooley so my dad is taking the drone we're
gonna go check the fire out and inspect it to see if they put out all the fire
then we're gonna go fly and check out these guys you probably started
here are the combines that probably started the fire
here is a wheat crop that it would have been really bad if the fire burned into
