Sweet Laura, regardless of how cute you always appear, and the fact that you always flash that gorgeous smile....I know you deep and personally....and, Sweetheart, you are the real deal. You work hard, many hours each day, you respect the awesomeness of the land, the machinery, our country, your family, and trust in God. These videos are an effort, and you are so good to squeeze them into your day for us. I love everything about what you do, but I must say that my favorite part of it all...is that I know this is your honest to goodness personality, and I remember your first reason for making videos....to try to teach/show/explain what it’s like to work and live the life of a farmer for your little cousins in Texas, who first asked you. I also remember everyone encouraging you to do more...to host AgOfTheWorld fur a week, to put some on FB, Instagram, Twitter...and finally get your own TH-cam channel...always with helping and reaching out to others in mind. You are doing a very good job. So many people just enjoy your honesty, genuine love for everyone and everything in your life, and getting to hear about it all from a young girl who is loving her first year of farming, her first year of college, and her first year of serving Center pivots. So from me, and I’m sure many others...THANK YOU ❤️😊
The thing I like about your channel is it is raw, not scripted, not heavily edited just plain. Also don't be afraid to ask for people to support you for entertaining them, your time is worth $$$$.
While drone footage would be cool. That would take away from the simplicity of the videos though. Which is one of the main aspect everyone enjoys about this channel. Its just a person with an iphone making interesting content. No need to get fancy with it
@@EddioFabio I fully agree about the simplicity of the channel. Really that's why I enjoy all of them so much. I'm not talking about some Peter McKinnon level of crazy editing. She has people from all over the world now that watch this and it would be cool, not to have all these cuts and edits, but just a day here and there where you see the machines from the air with the scenery around them that some people aren't privy to. With the tracking features of the DJIs, it would still be pretty simplistic on the video shots.
@@thisguythatisme Some more overview of all things together would help me make a better picture. This channel has mentioned pivot[s] more often than Ross for me. But I have so many questions: - Clearly a pivot rotates around a center, right? Though I just read a wikipage which also mentions linear setups. But then you wouldn't call them pivots, I hope. - But is the center stationary, or does it all move too? - Here in Europe (Netherlands) we mostly use traveling sprinklers, often a carriage pulled across the field slowly by a base rolling up the long big 'hose' (flexible pipe rather). Before it is all setup further down the field again, or on another field. - Fields are mostly planted square though. So do you plant less/not in the corners where pivots don't reach (or is there overlap in the neighboring pivots?) - How fast does a pivot rotate? - How many pivots are there? Are there big gaps they together don't reach? And then other questions: - How much acres do your dad and Grants' have? - Do you have some cooperative, or is it all solo farming? - euhm... Mostly just saying all that to explain I still know so little. Not aimed at you specifically to answer of course. But this was the best place to list all this.
More great stuff Laura. I really enjoy your videos and the varying content around the farm. It was great seeing how excited you were with your packages. Grant seems such a nice caring guy which you deserve.
My advise for TH-cam, having never done it before, is enjoy the process/growth/income/community/etc, monetize to the extent that you think is right (and save it) , know that you can walk away if it conflicts with your well being and your enjoyment of farming and family. Thanks for sharing your farm.
Enjoy the videos. Please keep your happy disposition and your enjoyment for life, work and making videos. Just because there's others who seem to be displeased about things doesn't mean they speak for anyone else. My family and I love the content whether you're lifting a heavy tire, plowing a field or just interacting with us about life. Thank you for the breath of fresh air you and Grant bring to us when you can.
The amount of work that goes into farming is staggering. Never thought about having to service the pivots, but what a chore! Kudos to you for your positive attitude and making these videos both educational and charming.
Awww you introduced the dogs! 😍 Just want to say I love what you're doing with this channel, please don't ever change! Always look forward to your videos as they are a perfect little injection of positivity! 😊
I grew up on a small family farm in Ireland. I really enjoy this channel because it reminds me of what it was like growing up working on a farm except we didn't have pivots because it rains so much it's just not an issue. The bigger problem we always had was waiting for dry enough weather to bale straw or hay or when we could harvest fruit. I first learned to drive on a Massey Ferguson 135 when I was 12. My cousin runs the family farm now. He's a little older than Laura and every time I get to go home I check out the new farm equipment which is always cool. They picked up a John Deere 6195R a few years ago and it's a beast but otherwise they're Fendt fan boys, in any case I can't drive any of them now because they've become so advanced. When I brought my daughter over when she was about 2 she became tractor obsessed so we got her a John Deere power wheels. Last time we went home they had gotten gator so she got to drive that, she was 7 at the time and she was a pretty good driver (she sat on my knee and I did the gas and brake). Farming wasn't for me but there's days when I'm staring at a screen where I wish I was just running machinery. If nothing else it taught me work ethic and problem solving because you can't farm without either.
Grant is one lucky guy forsure to have such a soft spoken kind hearted and don't let me forget beautiful young lady who works her butt off and is full of pepp in her step. God bless and as always be safe you two. 👌👍👌👍😉
No shame in asking for help Laura, your back will appreciate it. I was the same way when I was younger and now my back is paying for it. Not a lot of pivots around my area, enjoyed the video👍
Loved the explanation of how the center pivot works. We have them here in Indiana as well, but I've never been up close to one. Also absolutely LOVE the wide open views of your fields!
Was curious about the drive system on the pivots,nothing like that here in New Hampshire.Thanks for posting.There are no horizons that flat either,except on the little bit of ocean beach we have.
Once again, a really interesting and appealing video! Thank you for sharing your unique experiences and good cheer with us all! Best of luck with the Patreon page!
You rock! Most ladies complian at breaking a nail opening a car door, laura gets bitten by a highlift n breaks a nail where most of us loose skin. Grant ur a lucky boy!! And for what its worth dont be like other yt’ers, carry on being u, thats y were here!! 👍😎👍🇬🇧
Absolutely love that cute smile Laura! Lights up your whole face! You should ask folks from different parts of the country to send stuff to you from their area.
thanks. Learned a lot. On the monotonous drive down I-80, now I have more understanding of the irrigation systems. Do ya`ll go by exit #257?? There is a building there with a huge classic car collection.
did you sneak a little bit of sweet corn in your field? the farmer on my grandma's farm always did a little patch out by the road for the neighbors to come and pick when they were ready. it was awesome! we'd run out every morning and pick just enough for the day :)
Hey Laura I loved your videos and I love watching you have fun on the farm and recreation time congrats on getting your new mic for your videos I think it really helped out the audio quality a huge amount also I can't wait to see more content from you in the future I learning about farming I'm watching from the good state of Ohio seeing how you guys do it in Nebraska
Outside pivots would have to run at a faster speed because they have more ground to cover. Maybe if its the same gearbox they are changing the speed on the pivots .Love your videos. I am hooked.
Patreon advice: Release videos early onto Patreon - very popular Yes, the interactive bits are great Start lower and IMHO you should reduce the others as well You are better off with 500 Patreons paying $1 ea/m than 25 paying $20 500 Patreons is a *huge* resource that you can call on for advice & help.
You are awesome! I can't believe someone got upset over the Patreon account. If they don't believe in it, then don't contribute. Its that simple. Keep it up, its the highlight of my day to watch your videos and see that blue dot showing a new video posted. Its like being a kid at Christmas morning every time.
Ok, so not sure where to start with this...here it goes. I come from the world of site development but, have always had a hankerin’ for farm life and you tube brings that home for me. I started watching Zach (the actor who plays the Millenial farmer lol) when he had 45k subs and enjoy him greatly...followed by NY Farmgirls, Welkers, Meredith and recently Mike Mitchell. I think it is Mike’s family but, they farm in Southern Saskatchewan and I am guessing they run 40k acres??? ....they spend 30 days planting with like 5-80’ Bourgault drills pulling carts the size of semis...insane. My point is you have this infectious personality and I am sure Grant is pinching himself everyday like I must be dreaming...and you moto....totally over the top...straight 🔥 girl. Never stop smiling!
👍👌🇨🇦❤, great video, you definitely need a good merch store, your subs are climbing, great stuff, you are wise to be cautious around a jack-all, lots of dental work has been created from such a device
The end towers have alot more miles on them because of the bigger circle around the field they track. We have some pivots that certain towers that go thru bad wet spots have bigger taller tires, Idk if they are geared diff, I doubt it. Their cycle time for the length they run is prolly just shorter like the towers closer to the pivot point
At that stage it usually comes back, but it is borderline. I used to spray corn and often times ran 15-30 degrees against the rows. If the rows weren't right I'd spend all my time just trying to keep my 4830 in the damn row. Most of the time I couldn't get the sprayer to sit in the rows and I ran over so much corn. It took some time to convince growers but running across the rows actually damaged less corn per acre.
Do you ever have to move pivots to different pads? Cotton farming in west Texas growing up, we had to move ours. That would be a good video and probably astound a lot of people. Not many people have ever towed a 1,500' trailer. lol
100% Definitely need to know how to use those. I stopped a coworker from releasing one with the handle down with a pretty good sized Deere on it. He was right in line and that load could have easily fractured his skull. If you don't know how to use a hi-lift, ASK. They can kill you.
Great vid on the pivots Laura, have seen them working in the fields when I been to the states and always wondered how they worked, in the UK we use gun and reel or boom and reel irrigation or sometimes underground irrigation tape. I that it the drive motors are electric powered?
Great content! Those things scare me though. Had 2 young girls who were detasseling in my area electrocuted when they came in contact with the pivot framework. Found the electrical panel had been struck by lightning. So happy to see the mail rolling in. Be safe and keep up the good work.
So what controls the speed of the pivot wheels to keep everything straight? Not many pivots here, we have to get rid if excess water on most of our ground. Love your channel. Love your bright enthusiastic ,fun personality!
I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I just want to tell you that I'm a 75 year old Vietnam Combat Veteran and I know absolutely nothing about farming but you and Grant have taught me alot. I was a log truck driver for 40 years and retired in 09. I don't even know you and Grant but from watching your video's I am extremely PROUD of you 2. I don't know exactly how hard it is to farm but, sometimes you look really stressed out, not to many times but it makes me sad for you. Remember that you have alot of people that really cares for you two, so keep your chin up and don't ever give up. My name is Roger Clawson and my friends call me RC and that's what I would like to be called. I will be buying some stuff and trying to help as much as I can. I'm on a fixed income so I can't do much but I will help. Thank you and stay strong.
Please don't change who you are. I dread the day you say 'Don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe and don't forget to hit the alert button to get updated as soon as I upload a video'.
Very interesting video, I see these pivots a lot down in the Delta of Mississippi never knew much about them, and now I do. love your videos keep up the good work.
Pure gold, but a helping hand on those tires would be nice. Take from one who lifted on them for 40 yr. It will get you in the lower back later in life. Lift with your legs.
Are the plants that run over by the pivot tires and the tires of vehicles used to get around the plots essentially destroyed? And if so are they just acceptable losses that are factored in, or is it so minuscule that it doesn't matter?
Tyler Simmons yes the get run over. The pivot creates a track basically. And the amount is factored in but it's not much really. The alternative is dry land farming and the yields are significantly less. Also the types of dry land crops is limited. So in essence, there really is no loss by the wheel tracks.
Hearing protection check. Eye protection.... maybe we need to send you guys some. Are the pivot drive motors electric? How long can you make a pivot before you have problems with water pressure and voltage drop off because of the distance from the pivot point?
That center pivot gearbox is called a worm drive. The small round gear on top is the “worm” and the big gear on bottom driving the wheel is the “worm gear”. There you go, next year you can clickbait everybody with “THERES WORMS IN OUR FIELDS!” 😂
Ross: Oh yeah it will! Come on, up! Up-up-up! Up! Yes! Here we go! Pivot! (They start up the stairs again. Chandler is between the couch and the wall now.) Pivot! Piv-ot! Piv-et!! Piv-ett!!! Piv-et! Chandler: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!
Some pieces of advice. One, nitrile gloves are great when messing with oil and mechanical stuff. Second, you need a logo and a set of merchandise, like shirts, hats mugs etc. Third, if you have a certain product or brand you swear by, don't be afraid to ask them for sponsorship in some form. This will get easier as your subscriber numbers go up. Lastly, thanks for being a role model my 12 year old daughter can look up to. You may not know it, but your journey is inspiring to young women everywhere.
Don't have time to search all the comments, but that is a Spitfire Wheels logo on Cales' phone. They make skateboard wheels. It's a pretty badass logo, tbh.
Sorry to comment on an old video, but I am curious, does each tower have progressively "taller gears" so the each tower moves a bit faster as you go from center to the outer tower?
Boy you 2 live in such a beautiful area. I love the flat ground. Hey do you get any tornadoes and have you ever experienced any? By the way greetings from Ontario , Canada
Would a water separator site glass be too delicate to put under the gear box? You just push a button until all the water drains out and you can see when you get to oil. Un-necessary expense? How's the water getting in in the first place?
Sweet Laura, regardless of how cute you always appear, and the fact that you always flash that gorgeous smile....I know you deep and personally....and, Sweetheart, you are the real deal.

I am impressed with your mechanical ability Laura! Your dad raised you well! Grant is a very blessed man!
Start buying grant lotto tickets, he is a lucky man
I agree😉
Great videos amongst all the other bull crap we put up with
Next, you and Grant need a drone to show aerial shots of pivots and farm life. 😄
That would be a huge addition to the footage! Hopefully the Patreon will be a success and they can buy themselves a Mavic! 😁
While drone footage would be cool. That would take away from the simplicity of the videos though. Which is one of the main aspect everyone enjoys about this channel. Its just a person with an iphone making interesting content. No need to get fancy with it

Laura you are my favorite Farmer TH-camr. I also farm up in Parkland of Manitoba Canada. Just wanna say your positive attitude is a blessing!
Thank you so so much!!!
You are truly a breath of fresh air....Your million $ smile is contagious :-) Enjoy your gifts!!!
Those endless horizons.... reminds me a bit of my childhood in Australia. Might have to visit Nebraska sometime.

I'm beginning to think there isn't much you can't do when you put your mind to it. You love farming. Proud of you for continuing a family tradition.
Once again, a really interesting and appealing video! Thank you for sharing your unique experiences and good cheer with us all! Best of luck with the Patreon page!
Wow Laura you are doing amazing.....I bet your parents are proud and what a great way to pay off college with wholesome vids. Keep doing great!!!!!
You’ve got it!!! ❤️❤️👍🏼😁
I spend my days at work lately wearing a mask. Along with everyone around me wearing masks. It is good to be able to see a smile once in a while! 😊

**LAURA'S BEAUTIFUL / HAPPY SMILE MAKES US ALL HAPPY & FEEL IMMEDIATELY BETTER!!!**
**THANK YOU LAURA!!!**
The ending of this video with the Nebraska sunset was inspired! Kudos!
did you sneak a little bit of sweet corn in your field? the farmer on my grandma's farm always did a little patch out by the road for the neighbors to come and pick when they were ready. it was awesome! we'd run out every morning and pick just enough for the day :)

You're a real one😉

Awesome watching your videos !!! Makes me wane become a farmer too, but maybe not in my country though , thanks for the vids , Keep em coming !!!
Good learning experience on these videos. 👍. BTW, we have that Same Farm Jack 7:01 on our Jeep TJ Wrangler 😎✅
Patreon advice:
Release videos early onto Patreon - very popular
Yes, the interactive bits are great
Start lower and IMHO you should reduce the others as well
You are better off with 500 Patreons paying $1 ea/m than 25 paying $20
500 Patreons is a *huge* resource that you can call on for advice & help.
You are awesome! I can't believe someone got upset over the Patreon account. If they don't believe in it, then don't contribute. Its that simple. Keep it up, its the highlight of my day to watch your videos and see that blue dot showing a new video posted. Its like being a kid at Christmas morning every time.
@Rollin Stoned so I guess that you work for free, or does your mom give you an allowance for cleaning your room?
@Rollin Stoned Unions are for lazy people who don't want to actually work for a living.
Hey! Tossing out dumb opinions is as easy as you made it look!
Rollin Stoned troll
Asmr Head perfect reply!!
Rollin Stoned typical lazy union worker response...scumbag
I could watch you farm all day. Shoot, I could watch you do anything all day.
Ok, so not sure where to start with this...here it goes. I come from the world of site development but, have always had a hankerin’ for farm life and you tube brings that home for me.

👍👌🇨🇦❤, great video, you definitely need a good merch store, your subs are climbing, great stuff, you are wise to be cautious around a jack-all, lots of dental work has been created from such a device
Your channel is excellent. I like pivots, now.
Laura, fun channel. I enjoy watching the farm activities. From Edmonds, WA.
The end towers have alot more miles on them because of the bigger circle around the field they track. We have some pivots that certain towers that go thru bad wet spots have bigger taller tires, Idk if they are geared diff, I doubt it. Their cycle time for the length they run is prolly just shorter like the towers closer to the pivot point
Very interesting please show them running some day
good job Husker, thanks for sharing the fun
What a great Sun Set. Great videos. The You tube farming world loves you. Don't change a thing yo are perfect the why you are.
Just found your channel today and have already binged all the videos😄
My oh my
Those tires are HEAVY.
You Go.
I want to see you fire those pivots up and see them in action. I assume the corn you guys are walking on and dropping tires on will recover.
At that stage it usually comes back, but it is borderline. I used to spray corn and often times ran 15-30 degrees against the rows. If the rows weren't right I'd spend all my time just trying to keep my 4830 in the damn row. Most of the time I couldn't get the sprayer to sit in the rows and I ran over so much corn. It took some time to convince growers but running across the rows actually damaged less corn per acre.
I could never get fed up of watching this incredibly beautiful girl.
I was running out of new things to learn about until this morning 😅 this is definitely one of my favorite channels now
Yes it is good to be cautious of those handyman Jack's! Want to keep your face away from the handle! Happy farming!
Do you ever have to move pivots to different pads? Cotton farming in west Texas growing up, we had to move ours. That would be a good video and probably astound a lot of people. Not many people have ever towed a 1,500' trailer. lol
The jackall you are using to lift the wheel off the ground should scare you, they are dangerous as hell.
Bryce Green if you don’t service them, and respect them, they are. Otherwise, they’re just another tool.
100% Definitely need to know how to use those. I stopped a coworker from releasing one with the handle down with a pretty good sized Deere on it. He was right in line and that load could have easily fractured his skull. If you don't know how to use a hi-lift, ASK. They can kill you.
Great videos Laura! Is nice to see how is the life in a USA's farm. I'm a farmer too, from Spain, and everything is different and smaller 😜
As soon as im back to work ill hit ya up on the P for sure. Your good stuff girl!! Keep being you.
5:35 it's the Spitfire company logo
We wanna see more of your family and family life next time.
"Moron pivots to come" C'mon now, they have feelings too!
Damn, was just going to post something similar. Lol, moron pivots.
Back at it again lol! Watching every video
Great vid on the pivots Laura, have seen them working in the fields when I been to the states and always wondered how they worked, in the UK we use gun and reel or boom and reel irrigation or sometimes underground irrigation tape. I that it the drive motors are electric powered?

Very interesting video, I see these pivots a lot down in the Delta of Mississippi never knew much about them, and now I do. love your videos keep up the good work.
Good work, and you are strong! Flipping that wheel.

**NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER SEEN A FEMALE CHANGE A HUGE TIRE LIKE THAT!!!**
**WHO STRUCK SOLID GOLD = GRANT!!!**
**CONGRATS DUDE!!!**
Pure gold, but a helping hand on those tires would be nice. Take from one who lifted on them for 40 yr. It will get you in the lower back later in life. Lift with your legs.
Are the plants that run over by the pivot tires and the tires of vehicles used to get around the plots essentially destroyed? And if so are they just acceptable losses that are factored in, or is it so minuscule that it doesn't matter?
Tyler Simmons yes the get run over. The pivot creates a track basically. And the amount is factored in but it's not much really. The alternative is dry land farming and the yields are significantly less. Also the types of dry land crops is limited. So in essence, there really is no loss by the wheel tracks.
Was wondering the same thing.
Hearing protection check. Eye protection.... maybe we need to send you guys some.
Are the pivot drive motors electric? How long can you make a pivot before you have problems with water pressure and voltage drop off because of the distance from the pivot point?
Grant's videography skills rock!!
250 North East into MN.. I see like two pivots around here that never get used. Interesting!
That center pivot gearbox is called a worm drive. The small round gear on top is the “worm” and the big gear on bottom driving the wheel is the “worm gear”. There you go, next year you can clickbait everybody with “THERES WORMS IN OUR FIELDS!” 😂
Very interesting. Good work getting some Crossfit action in there too.
Ross: Oh yeah it will! Come on, up! Up-up-up! Up! Yes! Here we go! Pivot! (They start up the stairs again. Chandler is between the couch and the wall now.) Pivot! Piv-ot! Piv-et!! Piv-ett!!! Piv-et!
Chandler: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!
Some pieces of advice. One, nitrile gloves are great when messing with oil and mechanical stuff. Second, you need a logo and a set of merchandise, like shirts, hats mugs etc. Third, if you have a certain product or brand you swear by, don't be afraid to ask them for sponsorship in some form. This will get easier as your subscriber numbers go up.
Lastly, thanks for being a role model my 12 year old daughter can look up to. You may not know it, but your journey is inspiring to young women everywhere.
Awe!! Tell her “hi” from me!! And feel free to DM me on Instagram to ask any questions she has🥰🥰🥰
I am wearing the exact same shirt as your Dad, tell him he dresses well lol.
Thank you I wondered how those work we don’t use em lol
Sprecher! The best Soda around!
Don't have time to search all the comments, but that is a Spitfire Wheels logo on Cales' phone. They make skateboard wheels. It's a pretty badass logo, tbh.
FARMING the ultimate cross fit training!
Sorry to comment on an old video, but I am curious, does each tower have progressively "taller gears" so the each tower moves a bit faster as you go from center to the outer tower?
Videos recorded at 60 fps look much better imo. Consider trying it out 😁
Beautiful Corn Fields you got there.
lovely video greetings from the netherlands
First T shirt. Broke a nail. Love the channel. Best time in life to be a farmer when u have endless energy.
Boy you 2 live in such a beautiful area. I love the flat ground. Hey do you get any tornadoes and have you ever experienced any? By the way greetings from Ontario , Canada
Good afternoon Laura from Canada,have a super day....cheers
Canada as we once knew it is great country! Hello from the western side of Ontario
Great to see some fellow Canadians on here following her I’m from Calgary Alberta
Vegreville Alberta here
My sister lives in Marwayne
Not too far from here
Would a water separator site glass be too delicate to put under the gear box? You just push a button until all the water drains out and you can see when you get to oil. Un-necessary expense? How's the water getting in in the first place?
12:07 Red wing blackbird! Living in the suburbs now, I miss hearing those.
I recognize that bottle of soda that you are drinking, they make that up here in Wisconsin
Wow, what a refreshing video. No promoting makeup, clothes. etc. By the way, I wouldn't wear a watch while working on machinery
Laura is a sweetheart💚💚💚
