The Story

Welker Farms, a multi-generational farming operation in Montana, started their YouTube channel in 2016 to share their farming story. Their content focuses on the impressive scale of modern agriculture - massive combines, huge tractors, thousands of acres of wheat and barley, and the technology that makes it all possible. What captivates viewers is the sheer scale and expense of the equipment. Videos featuring $750,000 combines, breakdowns during critical harvest windows, and the tension of racing against weather create dramatic, engaging content. The family's genuine personalities and intergenerational dynamics add relatability to the high-stakes farming operations. The channel attracted both farming enthusiasts and equipment geeks who appreciate the massive machinery. Partnerships with agricultural equipment manufacturers, seed companies, and farm supply brands created substantial sponsorship revenue beyond YouTube ads.

We wanted to show people the reality of large-scale farming - the investment, the technology, and the high-stakes decisions. YouTube gave us that platform.
