Now don't anyone get mad at me for my opening statement, I am essentially city and I used to think that farmers had it made with a cushy seasonal job and bummed off the rest of the time. Then I found this channel. And man did I ever get an education. In the past few months I have been trying to view all the videos from the start. And, at 70 years old, I have been learning. Laura (and Grant) have taught me some of what farm life is really all about and given me a new respect for the business. Every new video, like this one, is educational and I just can't thank Laura enough for sharing. Thank you.

@verafleetwood9458 Год назад

Hey Laura. I'm 60 years old. One of my first jobs was detasseling corn. My parents didn't farm, but there was a Pioneer seed plant near us and the farmers hired teenagers, desperate for money, to detassel. Started out for years walking down the rows. It was so great when the farmers started using machines that we rode on up and down the long rows. Very hot and itchy work, but as a kid, it was a great way to make money for new school clothes. 😁

Thank You Laura. This IS season 3 for me watching you GROW, as I caught your in the beginning season n I AM so impressed with you sharing your adventure with US. Have a couple coffee on me ...

Lady, You make farming look fun! Even when things aren’t going great, that pretty smile of yours will fix anything!😁

@superchuck3259 Год назад

Key is having a good dad to help resolve the issues. And a wise girl stopping before something is wrecked. Better to waste a few minutes than break gear!

@waynemonday3772 Год назад

Thanks Laura. The trailer tongue extension is a nice feature. I was loving the tassel story. And your continued pleasant demeanor

@erichk1674 Год назад

Character building job . We need more of those these days . I remember being stuck in the hay mow for years . I made the best of it and did what I needed to do .

@thomaswhite8899 Год назад

Happy TO HEAR YOU EXPLAIN DETASSLING .. My daughter detassled back in the late 70s when you walked the rows ,no riding ,,We lived in town not on the farm .As you said up at 4AM and hard work in all kinds of weather ...But when she got home in the late afternoon she would shower ,change clothes and went to work at the local McDonalds. Have to give her a lot of credit ..

@gungadinn Год назад

Very difficult to get into trouble when you're tired from working 12-14 hours a day. That's called work ethic, which sadly is missing in today's world.

@williamfortini4050 Год назад

Also glad to see you back...made me nervous after your last vid. Saw your father's video when it wouldn't start... He was soooo bummed out. HEY! it will all work out!!:)

@malcoppock4255 Год назад

Laura, you are amazing, you smile through the whole video, you explain what’s happening. All with a smile. Just be you and thank you.

@williamllewellyn64 Год назад

So glad to see you back and smiling, the right of passage was a classic line something a lot more kids need. People like you and Grant are living proof that society might have a chance.

@bobbolieu9013 Год назад

Our silage was sorghum. And yes, the cattle loved it. We mixed it with milo, alfalfa and range cubes when we fed twice a day. We used our feedlots as finishing pins for the cattle that went to auction. Otherwise the cattle were on grass.

@lgrantnelson2863 Год назад

Good to see you got something done before the equipment broke. Hang in there.

@dougdemaree1963 Год назад

Hard working American family...Thanks Laura and Grant for what you do for all of us...!!!

@johns.r.lawrence9287 Год назад

I had lots of fun detasseling corn as a kid in North Platte. Hot, buggy and muddy [surface irrigation with siphon tubes]. The water being pumped into the irrigation ditches was always cold, clear and great to quench your thirst. 66+ years ago.

@george8214 Год назад

Ha ha!! I detassled in NW Iowa as a kid but wouldn’t call it fun! Character building, maybe……

@Troutelectric4492 Год назад

That's pretty cool John. I grew up in North aplatte and up in Stapleton. Did all the same farming/ranching stuff also. Super fun times I thought.

@tonyjohnson2256 Год назад

Laura, I've done a little farm work in my younger days. It is not an easy job. There is something that always needs to be fixed. I admire your attitude. I would like to know more about corn. Why do you separate the male and female rows! Why do you take the tassels off? And why do you plant radishes and turnips after destroying the male rows? I'm so thankful for our farmers.

@ralphkearns7600 Год назад

I really appreciate your videos, even the ones where we get chewed out. Please keep it up!!!

@davidburley956 Год назад

105 to 107F! Wow! And I thought I got a workout mowing my lawn for an hour in 94F (heat index 102F). After watching your video...I've got no complaints now about the heat here! Stay hydrated!

@kramerbrian1970 Год назад

Laura your detasling memory is like my memory of picking stones growing up on my dad's dairy farm here in wisconsin. It was not a pleasant job but it did build character. Love watching your videos. I was wondering myself about chopping corn early like you are. Thank you for the explanation.

@markhottman2652 Год назад

Laura, with blue nail polish and a Laura Farms wardrobe girl, your Farmer Work ethic of getting things DONE is probably the most attractive thing about you. Yes, you keep up with Grant and your Dad, just fine!

I worked on a milk farm with my cousions during the month of July when I was 9-12 yrs old. We milked 40 head of cows at 4AM and $pm 7 days a week. I was up at 3:30 AM; Milk cows at barn from 4 to 5:30 AM then clean the barn. We would eat breakfast at 7 AM, then work in fields till #:30 PM then milk again. I gained a great respect for what a farmer goes thru. Keep up the good work. Well done.

@terrybroach8958 Год назад

@tombernatz3027 Год назад

@creativityindy9483 Год назад

Laura - we are with you at 12:15 about the detasseling: in the mid 1960s I detasseled for Pioneer Seed Corn around Tipton, Indiana, saw some of my co-workers walk off the job- I had no problem sticking with it thru sun, rain, mud, bugs, etc. Then all four of my younger sisters followed in my footsteps, we matured into successful adults, would recommend anyone; love your 'teaching-style' attitude!

@bobbolieu9013 Год назад

Silage is one of those smells that is unmistakable and unforgettable for me. That particular sweetness is so gently powerful. We had a massive ground silo that I never did see the end of. It always amazed me how strong the odor was even almost a year later when we began putting fresh silage in the ground silo.

@leonarddecant8566 Год назад

From having watched a number of these videos it seems like a LOT of time is spent repairing equipment. I guess being a good mechanic is one of the top job skills of the modern farmer.

@darylneal989 Год назад

Cheers for the close up on that trailer drawbar extension link 👍 Your summer heat in Nebraska reminds of working cotton fields in Queensland Australia. Arvo siesta underneath the gumtrees beside a cool billabong was necessity not a treat when discing on a vintage Farmall(?) tractor. Nil cab I.e. nil a/c in 40+°C 🔥(same temps 104f+)

@knojustenuftobedangerous2442 Год назад

I detassled back in 1972. It was my very first job. Hard work, but I loved being on the farm. Scary when the thunderstorms fired up and we were on the metal machine, a mile out in the Illinois fields. Thanks for the video! Brought back fun memories.

@leslietarboxjr4287 Год назад

Laura, it is always an educational tutorial every time I watch you. I grew up on a farm in Maine as well and it was hard but rewarding work. Kids nowadays do not get the chance to experience that, and I believe this is one reason why most are lacking in work ethics and motivation. It is a shame. Always nice to see you and I enjoy what you are doing for our country and your community.

@KnivesFAST Год назад

It's fun watching your channel and your dad's channel and getting both sides of these breakdowns. Lol. Glad you guys keep a positive attitude. It's really cool. Keep going

@betaorionis78 Год назад

Your channel is awesome! I live next to a farm and I see them farm every year but never really know all the work that’s involved. After watching your channel I gained more respect for all the farmers out there. Thank you to your Grandpa for his service. Your parents raised you well as the next generation of farmers. I have say Grant is one lucky guy to be able see your beautiful smile everyday. Keep up the good work out there and stay safe😁👍🏽

I've lived on a farm most of my life and if something wasn't breaking down in two at a time or right after getting something fixed, somebody wasn't working the farm. That's some beautiful corn you have there!

@joeolson6085 Год назад

Really good and interesting video. For myself and all the other people that only see the end result of the food we buy in the grocery stores, I find it fascinating to see up close all the hard work that goes into farm life. Really where would we all be if it wasn’t for farmers and their farms. I for one salute you. 🚜.

@scytheshandarkone2506 Год назад

I thought i write this. I am new to your channel and what attracted me to your channel i stumbled on to it accidently and seen a girl working on farm driving machinery and so forth i thought was different and cool. I am just a heavy metal musician that knows absolutely nothing about farming, In fact a year ago i started to play farm sim on PlayStation and i have no clue what i am doing hahaha!! But seeing you work the farm showed me that is hard work a lot is involved in farming and i now appreciate all farmers far more now than ever. Also watching your channel i have learnt a few things, People like my self take farmers for granted, With out farmers we don't eat. So thank you for your hard work and for your channel.. 🙂🤘👍

@kindnuguz Год назад

seeing as how many places are in drought and having hard times supplying feed for cows etc.. Chopping silage and having a stock pile is more than smart. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work.

@lawsonjones2416 Год назад

Laura, you can fix the sprayer! Get a big hammer and hit the starter three or four times hard. Hit with square with flat part of hammer with a flick of the wrist. The little great is hung up in the big gear. Striking it will get to release. Good luck.

@davegift197 Год назад

As usual, interesting information. For those who haven't worked your crops, it is very interesting. Back in my youth, in Northwest Kansas we didn't grow corn. But had lots of wheat. Then on the family farm in Southeast Kansas where they grew lots of corn plus hay and other crops, we saw a lot of corn converted to silage. They had an upright silo but the last couple of times I helped they used open pit similar to your pile. And you are correct that the smell of that fresh cut silage was very nice. Great video as usual, Laura.

@raylund2036 Год назад

@group447 Год назад

That starter looks pretty easily accessible because the vehicle is already up in the air. Shouldn't take too long. You can catch up tomorrow! I watched your dad's vlog when it broke down in the field. He looked pretty "bummer dude" to me. But if it's only the starter, you'll be back up in an hour or so after the mechanic gets there. Good to see you back. Keep em coming. Love the vlog!

@georgeroy8509 Год назад

in the 60's working a dairy farm, we would have killed to have the equipment you have now. We cut full stalks and brought them to the silo and man-handled them into a shredder/blower that blew them into the silo. All the neighborhood kids were inside the silo packing down the silage by running around inside as the cut silage was pouring in from the top. This was a normal operation operation for us in New England. One of the best results from storing silage that way was the corn liquid that drained from the base of the silo. Made some incredible hootch!!

Again the rays of the sunset on the window panes, the heat of the earth is trembling in the distance, the wheels are merrily knocking behind the axle of the semi-trailer, am I tired, no, this is a pleasant tiredness, realizing how much has been done in a day, you feel pride, the windshield of the cab plays cheerfully with the light of the setting sun, this the last departure for today, the fermentation process has begun. morning, new day. I smile, throwing gloves on the hood of the tractor, and looking into the eyes-headlights of this giant, I understand that we are one. we'll make it, we'll make it right.

@pierregodin1668 Год назад

You should really look into taking a cours in agriculture mechanic because having to wait for a tech to come and change a starter is really basic mechanic. The cost of doing your own small repairs compared to having someone over is where you will increase your personal salary. Having a basic knowledge of electric and electronic will reduce your overall cost of maintenance.Plus you lose less time when the time or deadline are short.Like knowing how to test a starter/alernator with the same tester (250$+-)is fast and profitable, and it can be used on your trucks also.

Hi Laura. It doesn't seem to matter what industry anyone is in, the issues of things happening to equipment affect us all. Great job today and overcoming and adapting to get the job done is based on knowledge and experience and preparedness with parts , tools, backups etc. Once again, Great Job. Michigan.

@thesteelrodent1796 Год назад

where I grew up the big job for kids was picking strawberries. We had massive fields filled with strawberries that had to be picked by hand. Was rough work being out in the sun and bent over all day, but it paid very well. Some places still keep some fields for "pick your own strawberries", but for the most part the harvest has become mechanized

@johndavidson6867 Год назад

Great video Laura, it seems that equipment always breaks at the most in opportune times, hope you were able to get up and running again without to much delay. Even with disappointments your smile is to die for. Lets hope the rest of harvest goes well. How is Grant doing on their farm?
