Harvest time is an important period in North Dakota and our farmers get busy working day and night to get it done every year. It isn’t always easy, but it pushes the state’s agriculture to be some of the best in the entire country. They don’t call us “the breadbasket of the nation” for nothing. Watching the combines at work in the fields from the ground can already be fascinating, but if you’ve ever wondered what it looked like from a bird’s-eye view, you’re in for a treat with this drone video of North Dakota!
Adam Bettenhausen filmed this wheat harvest near Wishek in rural North Dakota with his drone, showcasing the process from an aerial point of view – and it’s completely mesmerizing. To think that at the beginning of the season this field was just freshly tilled dirt and by the end it was lush with the wheat that feeds most of the people in America is fascinating, especially considering all the work that goes into it.
Take a look at these awesome shots:
Bettenhausen also captured the seeding of the very same field with his drone in the spring – check it out right here.
There are some fantastic things you can see from the sky, especially all of the stunning landscapes we have. This drone footage of the badlands is completely breathtaking and is a great way to showcase the abundant natural beauty of North Dakota.
