Grant has a good outlook on things, good or bad he has a smile for Laura and doesn't get angry. Good person for sure. Thank for the video and hard work the three of you give on all your projects.
@fmeach7711 well it's a quite easy way they farm in the spring 2 weeks busy and in August, September may be 3 weeks. They grow only 2 or 3 crops which are very easy to grow. But when they can make a good living of that, then they're smart.
@Pterodactyl-kn3ve a part of their corn goes to an ethanol plant, with that part they're not feeding the world. When we would eat less meat then all those farms can turn into pasture again and then the cattle can graze on it, then we don't need those valuable drinking water consuming farms anymore.
Always enjoy watching Laura & Grant, even when it's one thing after another that doesn't work they always have a smile on their faces and manage to have a good time solving the problems.
I didn't think it would be long before Laura got wet, Sometimes any mechanical items that haven't been used for a while will decide not to work. Laura favourite animal 'mice' always don't seem to be far away, even mice got to your video. Bring your cat with you! Stay safe everybody, crop looking good, love from Mike. ❤
Hilarious. I remember watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and remember Jim jumping out of a helicopter onto some wild anaconda or something while Marlin narrated from the safety of the shore... Good memories! "Oh...and there goes Jim! Lookout Jim! That thing has big teeth. No worries, folks, I'm sure it only looks like Jim is being asphyxiated..."
Rock paper scissors to see who takes a chance on frying with the nice suntan oil glaze. You know? Laura's like one of the elephants in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Show her the mice and she's ontop of anything she can climb and ready to beat them. Even if it's Grant's body to beat them with. Rock, Paper, Scissors is now the selection process for all unpleasant and dangerous situations. Not seniority, not gender, don't worry Gauge. It could be anyone's risk! Love watching the trifecta of farming at work!
It's been 40 years since I worked on a farm! Before my brother got his pivots, we had a big gun! More or less the end gun on a pivot but super super size!! When you got hit by that thing, you was completely soaked! Y'all stay safe
I have grown up knowing nothing about farming. After about 2 years of following you on your journey, you still amaze me with your profound knowledge and work ethics. You have earned a fan for as long as you are able to continue doing these videos.
I just wanted to say that I have learned more about farming in the last few weeks of watching your videos than I had learned in my 69 years. I have a whole new respect for farmers and farming. The dedication to your craft, the hours you put in and the amount of work you do is unbelievable. Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck to you, Grant and all the farmers!
Nice video guys. Yeah it takes a lot of hard work to keep a farm going!!!! How did our ancestors farm????? Hard hard work. My Mémère was one of 6 kids. She milked 10 cows a day , twice a day, plus planting cultivating, etc etc! All with a horse. I cannot imagine. But we did our farm without a horse. Manual labor. Proud of you guys!!!! 👍👍👍👍
I’m 67 yr old welder/fabricator. I work for a factory that built high pressure tanks. Tanks were 8 ft wide by 40 ft long. Never failed while on top of the take something was always forgotten. Trick of the trade. Palm facing upward. With socket wrench even a hammer aim for the nose as you toss it up. The object will not hit the nose but stall just short of the nose catch the object while it is in stall mode! Takes some practice. Love you videos corn looks awesome
A trick I’ve learned in my 35 yrs as a heavy equipment mechanic, apply never sieze paste on each side of the gasket before you mount that new motor. Trust me, give it a try. :)
And on shafts where they slide together. I worked in liquid fertilizer industry and we couldn't keep enough anti seize in the shop. I always had a bottle in my truck for service and repairs.
Sometimes things take a 5-foot crowbar to "encourage" them to come loose. Sometimes that bar even needs a chuck of pipe on the end to reinforce that "encouragement." Thanks for sharing how life REALLY is on the farm! 🙂
@0:03 Omgsh the video hasn't even started yet and already I'm swooning! Laura is soooo sooooo sooooooo fun and perky and cute and adorable and she's such an angel & a farming princess & I just love her so much! Okay enough from me. Back to the show!
I’m very proud of guys. That shows a lot not only the hard work on the farm but also your unity in every area. May Lord mighty God continue blessing you and keep you safe from any danger. ❤❤
"2 1/2 hours later and we have one pivot started." Followed by the biggest smile of the day. lol Bad day in the corn field is still better than a good day in a cubicle.
HI Laura! At 22:15 in your video, you suggested to put the cornfield wiew as a wallpaper on the desktop. So I did. It looks greate! I must also tell you, here in Sweden cornfields are not very common, so I´m glad to have one in front of me every day!
Laura..hi Angel, thanks for the audio fix. Its perfect now. You guys are the best on youtube! Summertime looks fun there in the corn fields. Looking forward to your next video, take care, sweetie.
Hey Laura there's a young man over southern Utah his name is Hunter and he helped a group of friends ,the FabRats and Merlins old school garage Jetski Jimmy, pick up an old speed boat stuck in a dried up portion of lake Powell 2 years ago, he was chosen to get a custom foot shaped chrome gas pedal from the bow of the boat and he found a momma mouse nursing her litter and he screamed like a little girl they crawled on his legs to get out he was 18 at that time .these people are RU-vidrs ,good people.
Watching this video makes me happy that I no longer have to deal with all of the wonderful things that you just showed us. I had to continually fix broken stuff only to find five more things that needed fixing. I was a rancher in the west and we had to work pretty hard to get enough water on our fields for the feed. We had a half section of oats and a half section of alfalfa. When we got enough rain it was super easy, but typically we had to pump water from our lakes to huge guns just to get a crop. Usually we were just fine, but the rest problems were also ever present. BTW we just had a fire on our farm. The workers were welding on a tractor or implement and sparked a fire through our recently crimped and planted fields. It only burned 2 acres of field and 2 acres of 7 year old yellow pines. We are about a quarter mile from the fire department and they responded fairly quickly and they called in two more volunteer fire departments and Virginia forestry to bring a bulldozer to stop it. Just bad luck! Best Regards Your Pal Al
Grant lol Laura is a lucky girl, Grant was shy at first with this camera stuff but now both of you are comfortable and the chemistry between you two is awesome. I hope it last a very long time.
I love these videos and can understand the pain of your project today. I have a small 35 acre hunting property that I farm for food plots and stuff and there has not been a single time that i wanted to do something that didn't take at least three trips back to the shed and a trip to the hardware store. God Bless you! Keep making these great videos.
Good afternoon Sunshine! It was great seeing you two today. That's was a long and frustrating day but seeing the pivot putting out that beautiful cover of irrigation was very rewarding and pleasurable to see. Kind of therapudic in a way. Thanks for taking me along with you today. Have a blessed week. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
You are always a very positive person Laura and you have a good family and a nice husband and family. I wish you a good harvest season and strength for your place now and in the future
I just discovered you guys. OMG, I love your vibe and content. When you explained how corn pollinated itself and grew I was hooked! Thanks for all you do to inform, entertain and FEED us!
Great winterizing tips - thanks. In the aviation world I heard the term of pickling the engines for storage or for shipment. When a jet engine has it 1st starts up, it smokes too.
Apart from the obvious that you guys need to put all of those batteries on chargers during the winter. Also add a set of jump start studs on the ranger, so you can use it to charge and jump start motors.
Laura and Grant, use Vanilla extract mixed with water to keep Mosquitos away. It's 100% natural and works really well. You could add cinnamon or something else if the smell bothers you but I think it's nice. God bless.
First job out of college, degree in Agriculture, was drilling wells in the spring, then building center pivot irrigation systems in Central Wisconsin, 1976!👍👍💥
I am truly inspired by your depiction of farmers making it rain. Your portrayal of their hard work and dedication in such a dynamic and vital process reflects a deep appreciation for their efforts. Your ability to highlight their contributions and the impact they have is both meaningful and enlightening. And I am Floating Village Life
Laura please use some head cover. Heat exhaustion or heat stroke will put you out of action with possibly permanent damage. Glad to see you at least have an ac vehicle in the field.
Corn in my area tasseled starting about the 5th of July. No irrigation - just natures own. Several fields I pass were planted with soybeans - one guy didn't clean his plater very well - lots of corn stalks showing throughout the field. Corn may be a cash crop, but in a bean field it is just another weed.
Lots of guys are going more and more to beans just because it's an easier crop to plant. The beans will weather a freeze and stay in the ground until the weather is good enough for them, but corn will grow regardless and die if you get a freeze. Up in Illinois it took them 6 weeks to plant instead of the usual 2 weeks, so things are way staggered out there. Some corn is pretty well done with tasseling, and others haven't even started.
It’s always hard work on a farm and just about “ programmed “ things go kaput . It’s easy for a lot of us to watch the videos and probably even evaluate how things are done . Like people already suggested > a well stocked toolbox is a must on the Ranger , plenty spare parts and extra Batteries . The videos are well made and thanks for posting them
Hi Laura. I am an Italian farmer with my own company. I really have to tell you that the more I watch your videos, the more I would like to try your farming techniques and your types of equipment. Anyway, congratulations on your work. hi 🇮🇹
ok now i've watched it 2 times . i came up with a good idea . you are a smart girl , [i'm 65] , why don't you draw up a 'service box' , that slides into the back of your four wheelers for when you go out to do such things ? it could have tools , oil , lots of batts , small air comp , solar panel on top , long pry bar , you know , all the stuff like your fuel trailer just mini . oh and a small geni too !
I always carry a set of “sky-hooks” for my short ladders, not the cheap plastic Chinese knockoffs as they deform in bright sunlight but “American Stainless Steel”… lol
Good idea wrapping the ends of both exhaust on the well pump for the pivot. I learned about 50 years ago, if water gets in either the intake, or exhaust, due to rain, being air will compress, but water won't, when the valves close and the piston in the cylinder starts on the compression stroke, it can actually bend the connecting rods (between the pistons and crankshaft), causing the engine to need to be rebuilt and internal parts replaced. I like the homemade exhaust manifolds. They should be there a while.
I always look forward to watching your videos. Even though I am a few thousand miles away in Nova Scotia, I can see you and Grant are living a very busy, but fulfilling life on the farm. Thanks for the fun videos, but also the little lessons you always teach us. I had no idea about the tassels and the hair on the ears of corn are how the kernels are pollenated. I'm almost 70 and I learn something new every day. Thanks to the farmers who provide food for us all.
I'm no expert but I believe the mouse is more scared of your and other large animals. Now Snakes are a different matter if you approach or step on them. Very interesting that V8 engines can stand out side over the year and still run. I love your handwork. team work and super optimism attitude!
Hi there from South Africa! Don’t worry Grant, we also have battery bandits🤣🤣😉enjoy watching your videos. It’s my dream to one day work on an American farm.
Laura ,why wouldn't you go out with everything you need first instead of doing it piece meal, good batteries , jump packs ,starting fluid and a tool box way easier than running all around . You should maintain a bank batteries in a barn on a tender always ready to go instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul constantly swapping batteries around
if only it was that easy! I have a very small farm and I ask myself this very question every time I try to do something. All the stuff you need is always in the last place you put it when you needed it all, which is never the same place where you will be when you need it next. Kind of like an umbrella that you brought to work...
Wow, what an incredible video! The content was engaging! well-produced, and truly captivating from start to finish. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality and effort put into this. I'm eagerly looking forward to more interesting and exciting content in the upcoming days. Keep up the fantastic work! Your passion and creativity are truly inspiring. Much love and support to you and the team 🎉
The last few videos were starting to look produced. It is nice to see your wonderful personality shining through If Grant ever gets a personality, we would like to see it too
Wow that must have been a long hot day. 😢 Looked like you guys might have had a little bit of luck like I have sometimes 😅. You guys do good work. Cool video. 👍❤️
What a great way to water your corn now days in the old days we laid irrigation pipe or dug a tube trench and had to tend them every day or two that was a ton of work
Almost a week ago, Friday, I got my Laura Farms Dri-Duck jacket and two sided tee in chocolate. I am super excited to wear my jacket come winter time. LAURA, LOOK OUT, A MOUSE!!!! (just kidding)! 😂 Thanks for sharing your videos with us, and your corn looks amazing!!!
