The subject IS the Grace God shed on all of us. From the land to those who work it, you guys have truly captured a necessary and very well executed function. The weather days and dogs are the icing. These vids, the work, and the surrounding culture in them are what make America exceptional. Stand back and be amazed at what we do.

Fantastic job with the "movie" and all the Kansas videos. We loved them! I'm a girl who was born onto an 8k acre Eastern Washington wheat & cattle ranch and it's fantastic to see such a terrific video that reminds us all where our food comes from. You should try to share it with farming organizations and sites.

What a great video. Reminds me of growing up Near Maize,Ks and watching the harvest around that area. My Dad and Uncle ran an 8 combine crew in the early 50's from Texas to Canada and with 14' and 16' heads can't imagine the time it took on some of the bigger fields as compared today with the heads being as large as 45'. Loved to see in one of your videos of the kids playing in the grain hauler- I used to do the same thing myself. Brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks and God Bless!

"(Luke 10:2) Then he said to them: “Yes, the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest." .... Of course the harvest in Luke 10:2 is looking for right hearted ones in the door to door work before the end of this system comes. .... "(Matthew 13:37-43) In response he said: “The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; 38 the field is the world. As for the fine seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom, but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. 40 Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears listen."

Hi Ben and Rebecca. We're very curious and would really, really appreciate an answer to this question: prior to the harvest were the fields drenched with Roundup or other herbicides containing the active ingredient glyphosate?... If you don't answer we will simply assume that the answer is YES, in which case we would then have to ask: why do they not fight against it and for a healthy living??
