I think the best part of the video was the lunch in the field. It brought back some very good memories.

[@WelkerFarms]

I didn't film it well enough, next time I will show more

[@landerson1012]

I remember that from days gone by also. Mom had a stackable tray set that she filled for each of us that were in the field. Each tray was an individual serving. Mom knew I didn't like peas so I never got any. :)

Tail gate lunch in the field with the family...outstanding!

Oh man, best memories. Anybody who hasn't had lunch or supper on a tailgate during a good harvest should be jealous.

You guys are the freaking best, lunch in the field almost brought a tear to my eye. When i was a kid my dad worked on a farm in Missouri, and everyday around 4 his boss would bring us a snickers bar and a soda. Didn't matter if it was harvest or planting, he always brought out a snack. Thanks for bringing back those memories.

[@andrewschott3635]

Nothing better than working together and eating lunch together as a family in the field. Some of my best memories and a tradition we still carry on.

[@allanvaneste9106]

2012 was the last fall my dad and I farmed. He turned 75 that fall and said that was enough because his knees were really starting to bother him. The equipment was old and needed replacing so we decided renting out the land was in our best interest. Sure miss it now. Life was better on the farm. No matter how bad the weather was or if we were broke down it seemed less stressful then working a 9 to 5 job. Sometimes I think I should buy equipment and go farming again but just don't have the financial resources to do so. So I watch these and other farming videos and it takes me back to better days. Thank you Welker Farms.

[@chrisjustman3865]

What state do you own land in?

[@toddmotuelle6474]

Very heartwarming to see the whole family gathered together in the field to share a meal and support one another. It's something this Country needs more of. God Bless

[@danieljohnston5306]

That is family time that you never forget. The pains and struggles fade away, but the peace that defies understanding lasts forever! You videos remind me of that, it is truly inspiring and encouraging.... I miss home, Vaughn MT, and the family time I had there!

[@adriannicholson8819]

a family that works together stay together and god willing for meany more generations

[@danshadoin7661]

Nick, I am impressed by your generous nature. When I see and hear your father, I can see where half of your spirit comes from. You have a lovely family and an impressive family farm operation. Thank you for sharing a small part of your lives with the rest of us who farm vicariously through you. Godspeed and full bins!

[@jaysidhu3313]

the best part of the day is when you get to eat lunch with your family in your farm after working together .....and the food tastes a million times better than any 5 star restaurants. I love farming

[@freefall0483]

This is an amazing series. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this and thank you so much for providing so much food to the tables of America.

[@lukestrasser]

Got a little steamy eyed seeing the entire family in the field in the shadow of the trailer having lunch. Farm families and things like this are the epitome of what's great in America and unfortunately all too often reminiscent of a time gone by when families gathered for meals. Reminds me of lunches on our (since sold off) farm in Michigan. Thanks for sharing. God Bless!

[@bbpugie1577]

What a tremendously beautiful moment for you and your family it's all about family I pray all goes well with your harvest, families like yours and many others are what truly makes America great thank you Welker Farm

[@kevinkimberly1352]

Beautiful family, beautiful farm. Your work with the cameras is AWESOME!

[@mitchlecapoy1909]

100% THE best part about harvest.... lunch and supper in the fields, food never tasted sooo good when served in the field around equipment, the smell of fresh harvest, God I miss it.

[@Mrsilverado18]

I miss those farm field lunch days. Brings a tear to my eye

[@hansvandermolen1785]

Good that ordinary people can see that farming is not just harvesting. There is something more to it, it is a lifestyle! I come from the Netherlands and worked in the flower bulbs when I was young. We had lunch in the same way, an unforgettable experience. Thank for sharing your life, you have a wonderful family and a very great company.

[@daledallas9630]

Great tunes👍😊👍✅

[@davebrittain9216]

When you said your favourite thing was to stop and get some grub really brought me back to when I used to do a lot of field work. The pick up truck showing up with the cooler full of sandwiches and a nice cold drink was like heaven coming!

[@houzepw]

Can't imagine the stress level crossing that overpass. Family lunch in the field and the sound of that Jake brake...... Well done guys!

[@oldhippie2316]

The part with the lunch in the field with the family kinda brought a tear to my eye. Don't see much of that these days. Much respect for what you guys do to help feed the world! Keep up the great content guys!

Nick the joys of harvesting. And you guy make it look easy..

[@FFPM371]

That is such a cool tradition of eating in the field. Getting the family together like that is neat!

[@captnhook236]

Watching these videos, and getting older by age, i know I made the worst decision in my life by moving away from the farm/ranch, and farm life. The Big City is slowly eating my soul, I miss my home, I miss my upbringing, I miss the smells the tastes, the hard work, but mostly i miss my Neighbors and Family!! You guys bring a little "fill" to this old soul I have!! Stay Safe and thanks for bring reality to me. I Need to think about moving back home. The desert aint any fun, I need my rolling hills and harvest!!!

[@thesuffolkfarmer8792]

I’m sure I speak for all farmers here in the uk hope you guys have a great harvest and stay safe

Lots of fond memories. 👍

[@MrGerritStok]

From august to end oktober we were working overtime every day. My boss every night bought us french fries with a meat ball every day again. Only on saterday he took us all to the farm and we had a decent meal in the kitchen. Good old days. ;)

[@jimclements3190]

When I was akid in the late 60s mum would bring out our field lunch out,the end of this superb clip made me almost cry with happy memories,,,,,,,,,the only difference we were small scale UK farmers,,,,,,,,,,!

[@jamesharber7820]

Having grown up on a 2-bottom plow-size grain and livestock farm in the Midwest I am in awe of the size of your machinery, and the (to me) huge number of acres you all have under cultivation! Watching this video there was a long, clear, overhead shot of the multi-line electric power lines running across your land which caused me to wonder about the rate you folks have to pay for power because of the unusually expensive cost to the power company to run and maintain those lines with only a handful of customers utilizing the electricity from those power lines. However, living in that absolutely beautiful “Big Sky Country” I expect that a higher light bill would be a small price to pay for living there. I wish you three generations of Welkers continued success!!!

[@Mass_hole508]

As a truck driver i understand the hauling aspect of what you all do. On the other hand the farming side looks even harder than i thought. You all do an awesome job showing all aspects of what you do. Loyal fan forever. I came across your channel because of Mn Millennial farmer.

[@garysisk3431]

Another great video, and LOVE the 3 generations of Welkers working and having lunch together. One thing common on all the farm/ranch videos I follow, its a very tough business. I hope you and all the others are successful, and people watching these realize how important food is to America and the World, it doesn't come from McD's. Sad news, its really raining here in Missoula, and afraid its heading that direction.

[@larrygawne3529]

The end of this video with the family and overview was special. Thanks for sharing...

Noting better watching Welkers and crew reap their crops and having lunch break with family and crew. I remember those good time at family farm.

[@mykecollins3255]

Man I miss eating out in the fields with family and co workers. I grew up on a Dairy farm and during those long harvests mom would bring out a feast. Thank you for sharing. God Bless...take care.

[@sjp52047]

I grew up in Illinois farmland. My family farm was in West Alabama. I am so glad to see you showing the world that is is not easy being a farmer in the modern world. Imagine when we retired the mules. 1958. Not that long ago. I'm loving your videos. Regards, Solomon

[@corycoulter5140]

Love that jake brake on the eagle

[@jasonsivey9009]

There's something special about sharing meal together, it's one the reasons I really like working for the small family farm in Oregon. I'm not apart of the family, just a hired hand for the summers. We stops most days at 12 (Not during harvest) and come in each lunch together. Seems small, but it's a great thing to do! I like how you all set up in the field during harvest and eat together!

[@gordm5567]

it’s nice to see you taking time for the family because there nothing more important in this world then family

[@rowan2128]

That was crazy when you caught a rock in the feeder, and bent the crap out of that bar! That was amazing getting the whole combine across the overpass without any damage! Truly awesome! I hope the wheat ripens a little more so you guys are able to harvest all of it! God bless and be safe welkers

[@josephrodgers3119]

Thanks fellows, picnicking in the field brought back happy memories of days of long ago. A happy tear to my eye. God Bless and thanks again.

[@lnpipeline3306]

Yeah. All so they can sell wheat for 3 dollars a bushel when they have 7 dollars a bushel in it. The Ag economy in the US is a joke. Respect to them for sticking with it and continuing with a family operation.

I worked on a farm in east Texas when I was young. They had a big old oak tree that their family had been eating lunch under for generations. Good memories.

[@rickykraus7450]

Grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. We would never stop for lunch. Mom would always bring out some sandwiches and some treats. But for some darn reason those were the best tasting sandwiches ever.

[@samwagner31]

Man, that is some beautiful land. I grew up farming on my grandparents farm in bonners ferry Idaho. They raised cattle and had an alfalfa field, the whole farm was about 250 acres. I can’t imagine having as much land as you guys have. That’s amazing

[@leosypher9993]

Today I had whole grain cereal for breakfast, a burger with soft buns for lunch, and some toast with my soup for supper, thanks guys!

Great video. I remember eating meals in the field during harvest. It was an exciting time.

[@allenhrubes8598]

Hello from Dawson County, Montana. Bummer dudes! Just when the harvest is gettin' started, a feeder house bar gets bent, saw flys and now too much moisture. I know the feeling. In '93, the cool, wet summer pushed harvest into September before I could start cutting. When I thought the wheat was dry, that evening I'd get a shower and have to wait a couple more days. Nothing was harvested and it was the first week in September. I decided to retro-fit the grain bins with Keho air pumps and half-circle duct work. It was a huge investment but it allowed me to get the harvest done and every year after that, I could get into the fields two weeks ahead of everybody. Sawflys were another issue for me. I switched to a solid-stem variety of wheat and thwarted those nasty flys. Breakdowns... well...that's another story better left for another time. Hey Welker family! I truly enjoy your videos...keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your harvest with us...take care.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@jameskennedy4553]

Here in Ireland we have lunch or dinner in d field the whole way from sowing the field to baling the straw and taking it out of d field it's just brilliant looking back to see wat effort u put into and then what mother nature gave u to make it grow.

[@reididt]

the truck and the combine are full ...and your life too ... splendid :)

[@daspicsman]

Traditions build memories with those little ones. So important! It’s good to see that despite the difficulties you’re taking time to do what’s most important. Much luck on your harvest!

[@M_BigHouseExperience]

Had I been passing underneath that overpass and seen all that equipment rolling over I would have been geeked out!!!🤯 Love the family getting together to eat also🙏 💪😎👍 〽️

[@nickkercheval2704]

I understand the frustration. The last thing you want is to worry about is the condition of a harvested crop in the bin. That makes for a lot of sleepless nights. You made the right call. I’m sure you know that where soybeans are grown we run flex heads and auto header height.. That would really help you out with the down wheat problem. Best of luck!🍀

[@ML-lg4ky]

[@deancook6832]

We can't go down hardly any of our roads even with 35 ft heads, much less crossing an interstate but we use header carts that are separate from the head instead of those convertible self-contained units you have so we can drop the heads much quicker. Great video.

[@Grimm_Intel]

Nice Chuck wagon style lunch too! God bless you and your family

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Nice to have equipment that you can sneak over the overpass!! We have too many narrow bridges around here... They either have signs right against the bridge, or huge concrete end pillars for the side rails... Narrow roads with cut banks don't help a bit either!! Thanks for the video!!!! Keep the rocks out and get it done!!😎

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

So you're saying....... DON"T ROCK ON???? 😁👍👍👍

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob you know it Robert!!! Rock traps just aren't all that good... Best ones we had on anything were on the old Gleaners!!! They caught them!!! Held a lot too! Had a few fields where we would empty the trap after every truck load, never did run one through 😎 Our 1480 has the spring loaded trap, it gets the ones that will cause damage, but it let's the smaller ones sneak by... Makes some noise, but haven't found any damage yet....🤞😎

On the ground...and as the wheat continues to dry, the heads become heavier because the moisture in the wheat weighs less than the dry matter that displaces the grain. BTW, that Jake is an "Interstate Concerto!" Nice lunch and closing footage... beautiful!
