Nice to see you running those Titan-Goodyear large rear farm tires. I worked in the Goodyear tire plant in Freeport Illinois for 38 years and built those bad boys. Im now retired and you are supporting my pension purchasing Titan-Goodyear tires. Thank you.
Every time I see corn fields, I remember my grandfather's gravesite in Eagle Cemetery east of Lincoln. Surrounded on 3 sides by cornfields and a local racetrack across the road. Pure American Country living. I couldn't picture a better spot to spend eternity. He died in 1928.
We all love you Laura. You and Grant make an incredible couple. Your smile, charm, and loving ways captivate all of us who can appreciate just how special you are. Okay, I'm brimming over with appreciation. You are the #1 channel in your space. I so look forward to seeing them. I'm from Pennsylvannia which is the original home of the Amish farmland which I am pretty close by. Thanks for letting me chat. Keep up the great work.
Laura, I love seeing you in the tractor again. - those large tyres made you look small, I suppose the question will be asked, did you really need to have the large wheels fitted! I know they did have the use of spreading the weight over a larger area. Thanks for the video, Laura & Grant. Love from Mike. ❤❤
It's obvious you guys absolutely love what you're doing! Really enjoy all the technical stuff about how things work and what the purpose is. Good stuff. Thanks guys! It'll never get old.
Thanks for taking me along on todays lesson, very educational Laura. I always get a kick out of seeing your nails and jewelry, such a hard working young farmer! Your energy is contageous and you and Grant are just awesome and fun to watch - always brightens my day. Thanks for all you are doing.
@Laura: I admire you and Grant. You are telling an important story about farmers thru your videos. And you don't don't get troubled with getting your hands dirty. Without farmers like you all, there wouldn't be food on most families' tables. My Grandpa was a farmer, and my brothers and I spent summers with him on his farm just west of Mankato, KS. We got up before daylight and worked all day with him until sunset. I learned so much.
Missed this one by a few days becaause I've been off on vacation driving around the country. Thanks to Laura Farms it was a lot more interesting as I looked at all the various farms and pieces of equipment that I drove past with some vague idea of how it all works. I find myself looking at John Deere Tractors to see what model they are and what operation they are set up for. Thanks so much!
I work on my neighbors farm, where they use super old tractors and the also use cultivators. They seem to do a pretty good job. Hope hope solve the problem of the hole. Maybe a skidsteer bucket or two of dirt will do the job. Thanks so much for your videos. I learn a ton from you guys.
Cultivating is really the only tractor work I managed to get in before grandpa retired and sold the farm. There was a small fork hanging off the left side of the frame behind the front tire that you would center over the row. I don't know if he made it himself, or if it was a factory part. I can say that afternoon was a memory I will never forget.
I hope you solve the mystery of the big hole in your field. Do you have drainage tiles in these fields? That looked big enough to damage your equipment. It’s really something how the tractor looked like a completely different machine by changing the tires. And how the corn has gone from little seedlings to several feet tall seemingly overnight. You guys are good stewards of your land
True, it is old school cultivating corn but sometimes old school is the best way. I personally like cultivating corn, I believe that it is beneficial to the health of the corn plant without chrmicals.
I'm new to your channel but I love your video's about your farming operation. I live in the Piedmont area of North Carolina and we don't see grain farming that BIG around here. Thanks for your videos and keep them coming.
You ought to ride down northeastern NC if you get the time. There are some farms with rows over ten miles in good rich black soil. Laura does have a really good channel!
One minor question... You guys have a skid steer, i seem to remember you have pallet forks for it... Why not roll your tires on those and put em in the shop with it?
I was taught how to drive on a John Deere "B" while cultivating Soy beans. I was 5 years old and my my mom would drop me off at the field to get on the tractor wit my dad. My kindergarten teacher actually said in one of my report cards that I could not focus, because I was so excited to get to drive. lol. I love your channel and Watch it all the time!! Y'all stay safe!!
Well Laura! We are not near as large as far as what you and Grant farm but here in Western Pennsylvania we like to cultivate granular urea into our corn at about knee-high. We just did that this past Saturday the 23rd of June. And talk about old fashioned we do ours with a 1941 Farmall b and they 1950 Farmall c. We spread the fertilizer with a 1960 Farmall 460. We have newer stuff but these older smaller ones that particular job better. Looks as if your corn has a good start I hope you have a good season . Stay safe 😊😊
Watched where you came across that hole out amongst the corn field and it actually looks like an impact crater. I noticed how everything looks to be pushing outwards, even that small plant.
Superb landscapes, magnificent descriptions made by the lovely Laura who make you want to discover her remarkable State for those, like me, who do not know her yet.
Over the years it has been interesting to see the push to no-till, then what seemed somewhat slowly back to at least minimum tillage. Interesting to see going back to mechanical cultivating (like I remember many years ago). I'd guess there is a trade-off between the cost of herbicide vs fuel and time to make the cultivation pass). Amazing to see you make that pass where the corn is so close to being too tall for the cultivator.
The corn down in the Mississippi Delta is well over head high and beginning to tassel out. The soy beans are just about knee high and the rice is growing nicely.
I can see the use fir the big tires when working ground or planting the way yall do but the way we plant around here they would not work out well we have to hip our ground and we plant on the tops of the ridges so the crops dont drowned out in the spring and the floater tires would mash the rows down
Those tires are just so cool! Watching our “Tiny Farmer” manhandle those monsters was a little scary. 😮 Your videos are so entertaining while being very informative….I can see why the “whole world” loves ❤you! Keep up the great work!
Would keep the big tires for ground work, here in Europe every new 200+HP tractor is equipped with at least 710 (or even 900s) tires to get all the power to the ground properly, less ground pressure and less soil compaction.
greetings Laura I tell you a story! Looking for I don't know what I found your channel, and since then I have not stopped watching your videos, they are relaxing for me, in addition to seeing the great work and knowing the massive production Made in America 💪 Greetings from Puerto Rico!!! and right now I'm watching this Relax Video with Coffee in Hand 🤣
I'm working on little corn with big ears. The side shoots I'm finding is trigger by low light. The chopping of the top tassel and letting the side shoots pollination the corn.
Here on the Palouse where we grow wheat, peas, garbs and lentils, to name a few, spacing is too close for any tires and mud can be bottomless, everyone just leaves their big flotation tires on. The ground pressure is so low it usually doesn't kill any plants.
Have worked on various Farms in my Life of 38 years... Helped fix many important implements...literally sliced my finger unscrewing/taking off a piece from a Crustbuster...dangerous job Must use much precaution when repairing and diagnosing issues
Your corn looks a lot better than what I'm seeing in my part of eastern Iowa. There was a local farmer on the news the other night who said his farm hadn't had rain since May 8th. Any rain that comes into the area just dries up when it gets here because there's just no moisture in the air or the ground.
The hole is an old collapsed water well most likely. If it is, the hole will continue to get larger and or deeper. It could also be an old unused supply pipe for an old sprinkler or flood irrigation system. It all depends on the precise location within the field.
Looks wise, the big tires get the prize. This, from a non-farmer in Gilbert AZ. My wife grew up in a family that owned a Red Tractor dealership and ranched for decades. I drove a Red Tractor 560 for a summer (HOT) on the Texas Panhandle. So, I have the greatest respect for our country's farming families. Miracle Workers.
We who know basically nothing about farming (probably 95% of our population) this gives a and education and huge appreciation of those great people who keep us and a lot of the world fed. And thanks to the farm implements industry who help make your jobs more productive. Can live without a lot things, but not food.
I was in your part of the world last week at the Red Power Roundup, International Harvester,100 years of Farmall, farm show in Grand Island. Went to Winchester's in Phillips and Runza's, Casey's and the Plainsman Museum in Aurora. Saw a lot of farmers cultivating/ridging in Hamilton an Adams counties. Compared to northeast Missouri you are a "garden spot" due to whatever rains you are getting; and we are approaching "extreme" drought conditions. I had "tile blowout" holes like that when I farmed in the Illinois River bottoms; and they could really be a hazard, especially when I was cultivating like you are doing or when I was post-emergence spraying. Another good video.
Wow! Those tires looked great. But, they are super heavy. So, with out them the steering has to be a little lighter. Plus, you can probably turn a little tighter. Cultivating may seem old fashioned. But, it’s a lot cheaper than using a ton of herbicides. I think it’s a very smart cost effective solution.
Wow! Laura! Another great video with a lot of great information. Your passion for the farm and big machinery is amazing. Thank you for the video Laura. You should name your amazing looking tractor.
The duals are better on wetter land because big rubber just squishes soil aside and means you need to disk out the ruts. The important factor is the amount of pressure beneath each wheel. Consider duals in front as well. TSH, retired agronomist, NC.
Each tire has its own purpose. The Titan tires when working wet soil is a great fix Getting mud between duels is hard to remove and hard on axel and transmission.
Glad to see someone still does it the old fashioned way. After that crowns out, you shouldn't have to worry about weeds. Seeing those plow shanks and hardening them up with a torch brings back memories. We had a full blacksmiths shop on our little farm and every spring, we had the ritual of "sharpening plows" and doing the heat treat to harden up the tips. Got a lot more wear that way. That hole looked like a collapsed tile inlet at first, but it looked like it was on higher ground, so that doesn't make sense. if it were down here in the South, I'd say it was made by wild hogs, but don't think you have those up there, and if you did they'd damage half your crop. Might be a sinkhole/sand pocket.
I purchased a Brand new tractor from Ag Power in 2022.! It's a 3046r JD cab tractor and thinking on putting wider front tires on it.!!! Love your all's show.!!! ®
Sure do enjoy seeing the fields of green, which is a lot different from living out here in the desert. If you ever use the tractor on one of your shirt designs, you need to have it with the big tires on. i understand the reason for it, but it just doesn't look right with the small tires on it. Hope you get some rain soon, and that the corn grows tall. You both take care. Arizona Mike
Having grown up in the Midwest and spent a good amount of my life in small town Midwest, the seas of corn and soybeans are extremely cathartic for me. I know some people say it's boring as all get out, but to me, it says peace and quiet.
Like the big tires looks better with them but understand you need the small one for the crops thanks for all the Great videos bye for now from east Tennessee 😊
red power roundup last weekend was great and I'm sure I drove past your I 80 field or fields they all looked great! I met Pete from Just a few acres farm in New York he was at the show! I didn't figure y'all would be there but I kept my eyes peeled knowing I was in your general stomping grounds. Thanks for all the good wholesome and educational content
I'm always amazed by the size of the fields and machinery compared to when I was young. There could be three to five family farms in a square mile. We were to close to a big city though. Everything eventually tired into housing developments
Hey hi Laura nice working in your farm Nice 👍 work and nice growing corn 🌽 I remember that when I was working in my farm with my dad your information is so much useful Nice up keep it up
The big hole in the field looks like a tile washout, we get them alot in NW Ohio/ NE Indiana, arond here when the old clay tile breaks in a certain spot, then the ground washes out in that spot creating a big deep hole, the easiest option to cure it, is go out with a mini excavator or a backhoe, dig down to the tile spot, shove new perforated poly tile in so it overlaps on both sides then cover it back up.
That cultivator shoe was just like my body, all worn out after years and years of use. I sometimes wonder if Dad didn't trust me or if he just enjoyed doing some jobs himself as he never had me plant, cultivate or run the harvesting equipment. My job was to do all the grunt work like hefting bags of seed and fertilizer, tossing bales of hay and shoveling grain. But then I think he really wanted me to be an engineer like he saw at NASA rather than a farmer. Funny thing is that once I went off to college he quit farming and went to work in town.
It's Not What Looks Better...It's What Works Better...For The Task at Hand. Keep The "Farming" Instincts....They are What Keep Ya'll ....and Those Who You Feed...Fed....God Bless.!!!
Can't believe your cultivation vs our cultivation driving in the 1960's - didn't spend much time looking around and you could always tell the after lunch early afternoon sleepy tear out the corn patches
"Everyone is working hard to keep a high standard on Laura farms which is excellent. They're thinking planting and crops which fit in to the environment plan.
Loved the music. Your show just gets better n better. I'm a retired commodities trader and finding out I'm learning a lot about your side of the business. Things have certainly changed over the years. You guys are great together.
@@amytaylor8487 I'll be honest. I wouldn't be resl happy if my wife was chatting with a stranger online. I'm trying to honor her and believe I should do the same. It just doesn't seem proper. You are probably a fine Christian woman but I think it wiser to honor my wife as much as she honor me.
It’s not about how the tires look on the tractor. It’s about the purpose of each size tire. But the big tires definitely look cool. And they will reduce soil compaction. That’s because they spread the weight of the tractor over a wider footprint.
In LA older underground conduit feed-pipes burst after creating sinkholes similar to the one in your video, some eventually swallowing cars. Some in FL swallow houses. Earthquakes and shifting ground distort and crack the pipes. I hope the fix is simple. A stitch in time...
That cultivator will not get all the weeds like chemicals can and you can put stuff down to help keep it clean and the cultivator will dry the ground out a little and they are burning diesel pulling them
I think it looks normal now i persomal didn't like those big tires and knew you would have to change them for sure . Down the road to work between the corn crops between the rows tire were to wide.

Great video! Here in South Texas the grain harvest is just stating. We have a good Grain Sorghum crop but to dry for a Cotton crop.
When you found the hole you could of checked the GPS cords so you could find it easier to set up a larger flag for when the corn growns taller.
Wow. This is impressive. Especially the auto steer. Didn't know about that.
Laura, don't worry about what tires look like as long as they work. You are stout as a bull 🐂 rolling those tires back to the shed. Awesome!!!
Laura, do you think big ole burley Grant could have pushed both tires at the same time?
I see your and it brings up memories of our pineapple fields of old across our state. Miss the old days, great job Laura

I didn't figure y'all would be there but I kept my eyes peeled knowing I was in your general stomping grounds. Thanks for all the good wholesome and educational content
I'm always amazed by the size of the fields and machinery compared to when I was young.
There could be three to five family farms in a square mile.
We were to close to a big city though. Everything eventually tired into housing developments
Hey hi Laura nice working in your farm Nice 👍 work and nice growing corn 🌽 I remember that when I was working in my farm with my dad your information is so much useful Nice up keep it up
The big hole in the field looks like a tile washout, we get them alot in NW Ohio/ NE Indiana, arond here when the old clay tile breaks in a certain spot, then the ground washes out in that spot creating a big deep hole, the easiest option to cure it, is go out with a mini excavator or a backhoe, dig down to the tile spot, shove new perforated poly tile in so it overlaps on both sides then cover it back up.
... Love this channel ,, showing what it takes to provide for lifes existence for the masses ... Stay Safe and God Bless ...
That cultivator shoe was just like my body, all worn out after years and years of use.
I sometimes wonder if Dad didn't trust me or if he just enjoyed doing some jobs himself as he never had me plant, cultivate or run the harvesting equipment. My job was to do all the grunt work like hefting bags of seed and fertilizer, tossing bales of hay and shoveling grain. But then I think he really wanted me to be an engineer like he saw at NASA rather than a farmer. Funny thing is that once I went off to college he quit farming and went to work in town.
It's Not What Looks Better...It's What Works Better...For The Task at Hand. Keep The "Farming" Instincts....They are What Keep Ya'll ....and Those Who You Feed...Fed....God Bless.!!!
Can't believe your cultivation vs our cultivation driving in the 1960's - didn't spend much time looking around and you could always tell the after lunch early afternoon sleepy tear out the corn patches
"Everyone is working hard to keep a high standard on Laura farms which is excellent. They're thinking planting and crops which fit in to the environment plan.
Loved the music. Your show just gets better n better.
I'm a retired commodities trader and finding out I'm learning a lot about your side of the business. Things have certainly changed over the years.
You guys are great together.
@@amytaylor8487 Thank you, God Bless you Amy. He is Blessing you right now.
@@amytaylor8487 My wife and I live in St Peters, Missouri.
@@amytaylor8487 it's hot and getting hotter.
I'm going back to bed, I got up too early. Take care.
@@amytaylor8487 I'll be honest. I wouldn't be resl happy if my wife was chatting with a stranger online. I'm trying to honor her and believe I should do the same. It just doesn't seem proper. You are probably a fine Christian woman but I think it wiser to honor my wife as much as she honor me.
It’s not about how the tires look on the tractor. It’s about the purpose of each size tire. But the big tires definitely look cool. And they will reduce soil compaction. That’s because they spread the weight of the tractor over a wider footprint.
In LA older underground conduit feed-pipes burst after creating sinkholes similar to the one in your video, some eventually swallowing cars. Some in FL swallow houses. Earthquakes and shifting ground distort and crack the pipes. I hope the fix is simple. A stitch in time...
Probably a broken drainage tile that caused that hole. Cool drone footage, as always!
You could put duals on the front of the 8325R as well. Still not quite the same tire presence as those big ol' LSWs though!
I like your work ethics your dad raised you tough most women wouldn't have done that.great videos. 😊😊
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you have a wonderful day.God bless you!!❤
Farming all science- fiction to me now days .Good season and many more , you young couple .
I’m so happy for grant to buy his first farm land congratulations
Grant and Laura together ,, They are a great team to be reconned with .. serious at their lifestyle ..
Love the field cultivator, why buy chemicals?
Once the crop gets tall enough the cultivator will knock the plants over.
That cultivator will not get all the weeds like chemicals can and you can put stuff down to help keep it clean and the cultivator will dry the ground out a little and they are burning diesel pulling them
@@MB93WP burning diesel spaying too, they're irrigating anyway..... It would be fun if they could spray through the pivot
The huge tires will displace the weight for tilling but I can see not so good for going over corn rows.
Nice video Grant and Laura.
Sometimes the ‘old-fashioned’ equipment is indispensable.
I think it looks normal now i persomal didn't like those big tires and knew you would have to change them for sure . Down the road to work between the corn crops between the rows tire were to wide.
