Day 7 (7/29) - Highwood, Montana Harvest

Day 7 began with thinking it was gonna be a good day.
And, in the long run, it was. No humans were hurt while experiencing this day.
The equipment, though, was another thing. Within 1/2 hour’s time, every machine was stopped for one reason or another. And both tractors were included in the fun.
It’s harvest…
Kudos to Katie for ALL of the drone footage!!!!

That was pretty neat Jesse's Mom recording as well...nice different view!

[@user-vb6om2pp4i]

I drove wheat truck in eastern Washington for a couple of summers for a farmer who grew certified wheat seed. Did rouging too and other chores. This was during my sophomore and junior years of highschool . This brought back lots of memories. Thanks for your hard work!!

[@Mark-qq5po]

You and Jim found a real strong wheat growing operation to work for. Betchya you have learned a lot from those guys. It takes super management to keep all that equipment, manpower, trucks, bins, and to feed everyone all those meals, all operating as smoothly as they do it. Very impressive--Great videos and photography! I pull my hair out with just one of everything including an employee (my son). Some guys are just great managers of resources to get the job done, and this outfit is.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I agree with you! This is a well-oiled machine! Super efficient and hard workers. We used to hire one person years ago. That was enough for us. I don’t know how the larger custom harvester does it. Or the large farmers. We have been truly blessed with this adventure!

[@johnfurnival4133]

Harvest throws some curve balls someday and frustrating, keep smiling

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

It does. But not typically everything within an hour. Crazy!

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another awesome video Tracey and everyone!!!!! Sorry for the breakdowns. Guess each combine took its turn. That deer antler really messed up that big tire-wow. It appears that the other combines were not down too long which was good. You all got everything going and back to harvest. Thanks to Jesse James mom for the additional video-good job. The drone footage was once again real interesting. Believe you said there was 175 foot of header’s going across the field-interesting fact there. Thanks for the video of the unloading process and the equipment they use. I found that most interesting. Busy place, one truck after another. Lots of wheat for storage!!!!!!!!! I missed the food table but I know they feed you all real good there. I saw all the many coolers lined up in the morning before going to the field. Wow. The wheat you were cutting Tracey along the edge of the field was so amazingly thick and beautiful!!!!!!!!! Lots of production there. The amazing factor here is all the management it takes to make everything work, I.e., the combines, grain carts, trucks and food and all the other things that support this harvest community!!!!!! My compliments to whoever is the master there!!!!!!! Another day done out in your beautiful country!!!!! As always, thank you for all you do for us folks riding along. Take care and be safe. Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode. The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊😊👍👍🙏💕💕🚜🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jerryslater5173]

In 73 one afternoon we had one running out of five but evening we had all five running again ,the “one “was the oldest of our combines !

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Well, I thought I was gonna be the lone wolf keeping the wheel moving. But, at least, it seemed there was one (or two) running throughout the day. We sorta tag teamed it.

[@curtiswolf313]

It wouldn't be harvest without breakdowns but it seems there's always somebody there to make repairs PDQ!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

@@curtiswolf313 agree

As my dad always said when I got frustrated with a breakdown during harvest, he reminded me that things never break parked in the shed. Stay safe!

[@1ADP]

Never a more true word spoken.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Yes! And Jim’s always said, “if it moves, it’s going to break down”.

Beautiful looking wheat crop. Thank you farmers, harvesters, and affiliated businesses. You are appreciated.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thank you!

[@billgallagher2797]

Having 47 harvests behind me and another one fast approaching, I could hear the frustrations in Jim’s voice and yours as to how the day went. If you farm, you will definitely have those kinds of days. But tomorrow the sun will rise and you’ll get up and go again. 🙏

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Well, more exasperation than frustration. Both of us couldn’t believe how fast it all went downhill.

[@M.BFarms]

The days that are trying. Make you appreciate the days when nothing breaks even more.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Very true! You just don’t expect everything to need attention at the same time.

[@agplainsman]

Even on "bad" days, it's a better day than what my father dealt with during WWII when the old '29 Gleaner needed daily repair as the bearings shelled out. Because of the war there were no newer combines availabe at any cost. Greetings from S Central Kansas.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Yes! This is something we ALL need to be reminded of. That generation of Americans knew how to work, save, persevere and never quit.

You are oh so right. Jim is Jim. That’s why over the years he’s earned the nickname on here as “Mr. Sunshine”. I don’t think we’re gonna change him now. 😉

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

He did!!

[@gleasoncenturyfarmsgleason1855]

So your lead combine must set the AB line then it is shared with the other 3 combines So cool

Exactly!

Hello, Missouri!

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

After all these years Jim can still sunrise you! It was nice to see the youngsters riding in the cart tractors! Antler into-the-tire must be a very rare event! "one of those days--it is harvest"-- --those days come along every so often don't they.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

❤️❤️

[@marcometselaar2291]

Great video! I heard about the storm near Missoula, but lucky it is far away from you even it is still Montana. Looks like you can't sitting relaxed in the combine, you have to be prepared for everything like fires, belts and so on. But for sure that can make you proud when the job is done! This evening I looked on the map, Highwood is a very small place!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

It is a very small place. And, yes, you have to be aware at all times.

[@1ADP]

Great video nice to see a bit of the yard workings,colour of that wheat I am guessing that’s milling grade bread wheat,plus the shear size of those landscapes it’s huge country.Folks are saying there wear abounds I am over in the Philippines.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Hello Philippines! Yes, this wheat will probably be used in your next loaf of bread. 😊

[@timheasley612]

Some days are diamond's and some days are coal ,, there machines and they break down thanks for the awesome video Tracy and Jim 💪❤❤

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Yep! Jim’s always said, “everything that moves will break”. True.

Beautiful sunset. Even though you had trouble the crew working has everything down to a science. Everything seems to be running as smoothly as possible.

A well-oiled machine! Efficient and hard-working group.

[@HackerKracker0815]

no matter how the day went it is also very interesting how the wheat gets into the bins

[@okiecubsfan1961]

Momma says there will be days like this!!! Just hope for a better day tomorrow. A lot of that wheat looks really green?

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

You’re seeing spring wheat. We’re currently working on the winter wheat. As soon as that gets cut, I’m betting the spring wheat and barley will be ready to cut.

[@joelhenderson5404]

Jimmy waved it's going to be a good day. Tracy are you saying Jimmy is kinda grouchy but if he waves it's better!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Absolutely. His grumpiness is just who he is.

[@genewalter5022]

That's the fun of farming...you have to be a Jack of all, Master of non. At least the field didn't catch fire, or the combine and the everyone came out with all there digits. Be safe, be seeing you....

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Truth!!

[@phredd1115]

Another great day in Harvesting, some good and some bad. Great to see your flag. Great lookin wheat.. See the combines broken down just goes along with the day. Jim sounded disgusted, but that is part of the process. Great evening pictures, Sunsets and all. Will be looking forward to the next chapter in Harvest 2024. Cya

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Not disgusted. Just stating all that happened all at the same time.

If nothing ever breaks, you’re not doing anything.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Jim always says, “if it moves, it’s gonna break”.

Just life of a farmer hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Thinks for the ride.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

And it was.

[@MrSimbo65]

Interesting to see the way the Wheat is handled; better day tomorrow.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thanks!

[@PaulvanNieuwenhuyzen]

You see again: the lady saves the day by being the only combine left running. There was a lot to do in your little film, and explaining done for the one's who9 are not so familiar with the trade. It is very nice to see Jim enjoying himself, because he has a blast it seems to me. And they sure are making the trucks empty in high speed, that is working there. I look forward to tomorrow....

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Well, I also ended up breaking down shortly after I said that. I shouldn’t have been so “cocky”. 🤣

Beautiful sunset,dont realise how dusty it is until you see it in the lights! Those deer antlers are a real dammed pest.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Those antlers do quite a bit of damage. And the worst part is not being able to see them to avoid them.

[@westrotter7847]

Whats your yields looking like ??? I missed that. Sounds like you need to put a rabbits foot in each one of those Deere machines !! Lol

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I’ll just say 60+ bushels…

Hi, I love your content. It’s so relaxing and entertaining and interesting. One thing I’m asking is how you pronounce your last name. Thanks God bless.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Much like saying Syrian only replace the S with a Z. Jim’s great grandpa came from a village near Bern, Switzerland. It’s German/Swiss.

[@markvaughan7345]

Check my memory, weren't they running 4 New Holland combines last year? When I was growing up if you had a 12 foot Masey Harris combine you were considered well off.

[@neilwehling2154]

They were running JD last year.

[@richardradawetz8788]

Definitely jd last year

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Nope. They were running four JD combines last year. I remember those Massey combines with 12’ headers! That’s what I would have learned on.

[@ronaldnagel6705]

I just wouldn't expect to be having those type of problems in a John Deere Combine

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

As Jim has said, “if it moves, it’s gonna break down”. And he’s right.

[@danielrandolph9170]

It's a shame John Deere laying off a lot of workers & moving production to Mexico not good maybe John Deere customers need to look to change tractor brand . John Deere sells are down a little but they still made billions profits. I guess it true the ones that have a lot always want more lol .good video Tracy & everyone there yal stay safe & happy harvesting

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I, too, wonder why JD is laying off so many people.

[@jaybernieschoep3491]

You and Jim need two CRX 11 new holland combines lol

Well, at least one, right?!!

[@frankwiedmeyer426]

Good morning Frank the farmer from Wisconsin. Craop looks fantastic. The combines look fantastic. How are you liking the John Deere now compared to your new Holland.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I’ll always be partial to the Nee Holland combine. It’s a great combine that no one acknowledges. In the end, they all do what they’re supposed to do - harvest grain.

Thank you

[@georgematz5338]

I loved the drone shots from yesterday. Curious to see draper and auger heads in use. Any reason for this?

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

They are all Draper heads. The auger you see is referred to as a “pea auger”. Although this farm doesn’t plant field peas, the header they bought has it in place. It helps the plant feed into the header and into the feeder house better.

[@georgematz5338]
