Central Montana is well known for its bountiful wheat fields. Winter wheat harvest 2023 is looking up for farmers in portions of the “Golden Triangle.” This year’s harvest is more sentimental to the Stephens family of Dutton, fourth-generation farmers.

“I want to specially thank Trevor and Kate for coming back, they made it just in time to get on the combines and go,” said Mark Stephens.

We met Kate several years ago before her departure to Cornell University last fall. She is the founder of the fashion line “Kate’s Ag: Farm to Fashion.” This year, she’s made the trip home to help her father with harvest and she’s brought an Agriculture Sciences major with her.

“It’s pretty impressive the operations that are going on out here,” explained Trevor Fecko, a Cornell University student.

Fecko was born and raised on a waterfront town in Maine and the experience he’s gaining from working in the Montana wheat harvest will last a lifetime.

“How much work it is because you get up at 7 a.m. and you’re not going to bed until 11. That’s just from, working, traveling, and working on the combines. There’s a lot that goes into growing the food the country eats.”
