Days 16 & 17 (8/7 & 8/8) - Highwood, Montana Harvest

Days 16 & 17.
We had nearly an inch of rain between the evening of day 15 and 16. So, no cutting happened over the past couple of days.
Instead, the trucks emptied two grain bins getting them ready for more.
And we got caught up on sleep…

This video brought back memories of when my husband and I used to obtain grain samples from various grain elevators as they were loading grain cars. That was almost 40 years ago in NW Ohio.

[@kellykonoske91]

Damn fine looking Petes, I must say! Wish I was driving one! Take care all. Todd Konoske the retired trucker.

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Love the daily shot of the spring wheat and how the green has slowly disappeared. They have a very nice fleet of trucks!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I’m glad you caught on to what I was doing! 😉

[@williamschablowsky5764]

Jim’s sigh after your rhyme made my day

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

🤣 I almost took it out but decided it’s us.

[@johnfurnival4133]

Those two blue Peterbilts are fine looking rides. The other trucks look good also 👌😃

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

They’re all very nice trucks!

[@johnhawkins294]

You have the best videos ❤

[@ronabuttafly]

Thankyou Tracy for showing us so much of the processes. I found it all very interesting. The grain train must be so soo heavy! Such lovely scenery and the clouds look so close to the ground. Another beautiful video and music.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thank you!!!

Jimmy is running with the big dogs pulling a pup trailer lol.

[@lesliewoinarowicz7018]

The wheat looks like it has a deep red healthy color to it. I hope the uncut wheat doesn't loose too much color or weight from the rain.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

👍🏻

[@Deadeye-zr2kb]

Tracy another fine day and another great video I love all the different parts of harvest that you have been able to show its very enjoyable to watch Thank you and Jim for taking us on this journey its enjoyable to watch

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I’m truly glad you’re enjoying my daily stories!

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

The piles of grain laying out looks like corn here in Delaware dearing harvest they have nice looking grain trucks not like them 6 wheelers i remember driving have fun guys Thanks

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thanks for taking the time to check in!

[@stevetrowbridge7101]

Realy interesting. Thankyou . Big country and big sky up there .

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Yes!!! Big sky country! Thanks!

[@joneyjimms1598]

That rain will make that wheat that's a bit green ripen quicker. Gather your wits because your about to hit full throttle.😊

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Yes. It. Will!

[@dalepeachey3533]

Man, all that equipment is top notch. Bet you guys like all the great equipment, and I can see you and Jim take care of the ones you use as if they where your own.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

We try. But we’ve always been that way. We used to cut someone else’s fields as though they were ours. Hopefully, we help with the stress level of harvest just a bit.

[@jhanlarosh6620]

👍👍 thanks for taking us to the grain terminal 😀

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

You’re so welcome! You’ve never been to one, right? 🤣

[@jhanlarosh6620]

Hope not like that one

[@dannaumann9758]

I do love this description of how the agriculture process works! All that grain probably going overseas to feed the “masses”! Love that collection of beautiful Petercars!

Loved this seeing another side of harvest. All the goodies looked yummy. Sometimes you need a day off to recharge.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Absolutely!

So much enjoying each of these video’s! Thank you all for making and sharing with us! Wish I were there! Tell Nick Ansley says hello from NC. (She rode with him 3 yrs ago and is the daughter if my daughter who got married there last year!)

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I’ll pass along the note!

[@genewalter5022]

The Highwoods look great when there's no smoke or hase. You guys are out in the land of "roads my be inpassable when wet".....gravel and pavement good....Have a great day. Now's the time to be moving that grain out. Carter farrie is a great ride in a car or pick-up....It use to have a great little bar, to grab something to cold and ice....Jim and you have a great day. Be safe and have a great day.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

The Highwoods are beautiful on the horizon. Even better when the smoke is cleared! We went across the ferry last summer. Glad we did because it’s closed right now.

[@jeromeellis668]

Google search results that a grain car can hold 3900 bushels. Jim’s estimate of 410,000 bushels on a train should be right on track. Thanks for your videos.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thank you so much, Jerome!

[@lionvanderven1759]

Awesome footage Tracy , 🌾👍 Keep up the good work . ✍️🛞📽️

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

[@randywilson9611]

Good video good to see y'all

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thank you!

[@stevebiddle8912]

You must be somewhat to Fast-Ag and the Fast Family Farms. The geography and the terminal you’re hauling into looks very similar to where they haul. Another great video. Stay safe and have a good weekend!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I’m not sure but from other comments on here, they’re about 100 miles away. I’m certain there are other elevators between here and there.

[@user-fs4lc6bd8h]

That's my house! Welcome to Carter!

[@M.BFarms]

At least with beans and corn, when we load a shuttle. Its roughly 4 semi loads per rail car. And BNSF makes us turn them within 24 hours or we are fined.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

👍🏻

[@curtiswolf313]

Well the ducks had some water for a while.😂

[@matthewmccune]

Jim is correct. BNSF are big cars. usually UP is 3900-4000, bnsf is like 4200-4500 bushels.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thanks, Matt!

[@danl9334]

thanks for another update, rain days give you a little chance to catch up on so many things, see ya tomorrow!!!!!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

They certainly do!

[@brianhosey3811]

Nice to see the load out process! Very cool!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnrodgers7633]

During corn harvest in michigan we would load a 100 car unit train in 24 hours. I pulled a set of B-train doubles gross load of 160,000 lbs. It looks like those set ups could haul a good size load too. God bless you all and safe harvest. An old retired farmer/trucker.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thank you!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

❤️ Hello, Texas!

[@agplainsman]

What is the cappacity of those bins? Forty or fifty thousand bushel?

[@jimmclean160]

Well that sweet look like number one hard red spring because of the dark red color to it

[@banjobenson9348]

Must have been a nice rain with the puddles.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Nearly an inch!

[@iancroot1388]

Very interesting video to see what happens to the wheat when it leaves the Farm, do we know where the trains take the Wheat to?.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I’m guessing to a port on the west coast.

[@jeromeellis668]

Nice to see moving grain to market. Thanks for sharing your videos. Jerome

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Thanks for watching!

[@1ADP]

WOW great content of the grain terminal and trucks always nice to see something news,love the shot of the river and the far side how time erodes away the banks.I did a trip down the Mekong in Lao and boy was that an eye opener.Thanks

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

😳 - whoa!! Thank you for your kind words!

[@phredd1115]

Well rainy days happen when. Harvesting. Just another cog in the wheel. Great lookin Pete’s, and combinations. Beautiful. Pictures pictures of the roads to the Elevator. Interesting photos at the Elevators . I seen another Flag on the combine, is that yours? Not much more on 2 days of load. Lookin forward to the next chapter in Montana Harvest 2024. CYA

[@richardradawetz8788]

We use Wilson trailer s up in Saskatchewan but different tarps. We use michels tarps up here. We think they are better lol. Great video s

[@marcometselaar2291]

Great video! There was some rain here too, but not so much. Lots of greetings from the Netherlands!

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

❤️

[@mileagemaker9925]

Those are some nice looking Pete's but why do they have those cow catchers on front! I don't think Montana has kangaroos jumping across the road 😂! Probably a stupid question but I was just wondering 🤔 . Great videos and hope you keep them coming! God bless 🙏

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

LOTS of deer. And they cause major problems to vehicles.

[@paulsmith4320]

Agree on the trucks. Surprised your weren't hauling with Frank. Jim's shirt reminds me of a question. Is this one farm or a group of farms working together?

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

It’s one farm. Thought about using Frank but we didn’t license it to be used to haul anything. Just make its way here.

[@douglasfarrell83]

It was a nice change of pace for you folks. Sure are some Beautiful trucks. I miss driving a little bit 😢 ❤️AMER1CA❤️

Thanks for your Video. Thanks for showing the grain handling process. Your and Jim’s semi is a nice rig. All of them are very nice especially the twin trailers one. I wouldn’t be long today as quite ill today but did watch your video. Thanks Tracey and Jim. God bless. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊👍🙏💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸

I enjoy your videos very much. If it is possible, could these videos be a bit longer. Thank You

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

😊 you’d probably get tired of them if they were.

[@johnsimms6778]

Seeing any grasshoppers? Nick Welker on the Welker Farms KZbin site says there aren't many in Shelby MT this year.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

Nope. Seeing a few but not anything bad.

[@banjobenson9348]

Does the truck with the pup fit on the scale? I bet they fill the train in a few days.

[@lynwessel2471]

Here in MN anyway the railroad wants grain trains filled asap. Local co-op can fill 100 cars in 9 hours, and it gets done overnight when required.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

It does.

[@williamwright8286]

Beautiful Scenery ! Use to enjoy hualing to the elevators for the farmers. Not as nice Rigs as yours tho 😊

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

They’re not ours. They belong to the farmer we are helping. To better understand what the heck is going on, watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/roinqYuHqLSoeqssi=AnNnG8jRpZXjaOxY

[@stephenkennedy9322]

Why so few TREES 🌳 🤔 in Montana Iowa Kansas Nebraska ? Lack of Rain or Farmers just don't want them shading crops or habitats for grain thieves deer etc ?

[@brucewalker2276]

They load closer to 450000 . They try and at in about 10 hours.

[@danielrandolph9170]

Don't seem like it's good to use two scales well it's a trust issues maybe & more of a chance of the weight out scales could be off on weight either - or plus just don't seem like a good practice. Good video yall stay safe

[@lynwessel2471]

They had better be correct when the state scale inspector truck shows up unannounced.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

👍🏻

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

👍🏻

[@curtiswolf313]

It makes a lot of sense to have two scales especially at a terminal that size at harvest time when there's a long line of trucks waiting to unload. This way when the trucks get unloaded they don't have to wait in line to get weighed back empty and can get back for another load quicker.

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

@@curtiswolf313 what frustrates me more than anything is truckers not knowing the harvest procedure. Don’t cut in line An empty truck ALWAYS has the right of way!

What keeps the Grain in Piles From Sprouting if it draws Moisture?

[@robertschmidtke4448]

😊

[@jimbaumann6579]

Most places will tarp the piles when done if they aren’t shipped out right away

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

To be honest with you, I don’t know much about outdoor grain storage. However, I do know most elevators do cover the piles when they’re done adding to it.

[@RichardLawrence-l2f]

What combine you like better the new holland or the deere

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

I bet you already know… The New Holland. 😉

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

What do you like better about the New Holland's?

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

@@JulianKeller-om6wz - it’s a good combine. It doesn’t get the attention of people looking for a combine that it should. It’s just as good as anything else out there. Was the FIRST to have twin rotors. There’s little features the NH has that the JD does not. Clean samples!!!!

[@WadePoor-ii6kh]

Way do you adverts New Holland and everyone has a deer

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

Jim is doing a great job handling the much bigger truck compared to "Frankie".

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

😊 Frank was my truck. ❤️

[@mattphillips4260]

how long of a drive is it to the mill

[@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking]

It’s about 45 mins or so.
