- There has been a lot in the news lately about Nebraska and the weather: everything from floods to tornadoes! thankfully, we are all okay and so is Pepper! (oh and our buildings and equipment.) Many Nebraskans lost their homes. Then, a few days later, we experienced solar storms that cut out our tractors valuable GPS navigation technology. In this video, we assess the flooding we experienced (so thankful to finally get some rain!) and replant our fields. Thank you for watching today's video, and we'll see you in the next one! If you want to see the full news clips from the beginning of the video, I got them from these links below and use them under fair use.

One good thing about the farming communities. Friends helping friends & neighbors helping neighbors!
Laura and Grant. This was a powerful video showing one of the perils for our farmers. Thank you for what you do, and for feeding all of us.
I thought they planted a corn variety used for ethanol. Are they planting food corn?
@@PatrickPoet Ethanol mostly unless I am incorrect. SOme sweet corn with the old tractors(another video).
Thank you for being a farmer we need more like you and Grant I happy none of you got hurt
Sorry for all the bad interruptions, Laura. You guys work so hard to get us the food we need. God bless the farmers of the world. Stay safe and praying for a better summer, going ahead.
Thank you for sharing this part of your journey Laura and Grant! I hope your seeds and plantings for 2024 are not affected too much by the water and solar storms!
Dildo
that was amazing showing inventiveness & adaptation of true farmers
It's good to see Gage again.
My heart aches for the mountain of hours that you have to reinvest into your crops again.
I love your resourcefulness and your stick to it attitude.
It's crazy how the run off focused in the planter rows.
Laura, you are such a little blessing to grant all your family and of course your viewers. Thank you for being the person that you are truly a sweet little flower.
Laura and Grant, thank you for the great video. You are so fortunate to have such supportive and resourceful neighbors.
You guys are so blessed. We pray for your continued safety and prosperity. From Columbus Indiana 🙏
Oh my god Laura and Grant. My heart goes out to you both. All that hard work gone. Thinking of you guys. 🥰🥰🙏🙏
That takes me back many years. As a kid, I remember using a two row planter very similar to that to plant our entire farm. Of course, the farm was small. Dad thought he went to a big time farmer with when he upgraded to a four row, no till planter. He would be shocked at how big the equipment is now and how much you can plant in a day. Thanks for the videos
Farmers have been at the whim of nature since the start of farming. The important thing is that everyone is doing ok.
The one row planter is awesome.... SORRY to hear and see all the rain damage. Thank God for no tornados.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Hope all goes well for your seeds!
I'm sorry you guys are having a rough time. You are so lucky to have friends, family and nabors that care about you guys. Just think your lurning what farming was like for about a century until you got your technology today. I'm proud of you guys for not giving up and trucking on.
Glad you all are ok , prayers that everything works out for you 🙏❤🙏
Persistent. You are farmers! God bless you all and safe travels. Especially in those muddy fields. Bye Gauge!
That is pretty cool!! That one roll planter!!
Wow! Just something I would have never thought of or expected. Glad you were able to recover!
A quick 'thank you' for the update. I'm just some random guy in Essex UK who enjoys learning about your operation on the farm. So hearing about the solar storms and the weather events in the news means we worry about how you guys are doing, like you are our physical neighbours. Watching with interest how the reseeded parts do in the harvest.
I'm very thankful the tornadoes missed you and that y'all are safe. Please endeavor to stay safe, and keep an eye out for Pepper!
Documented reality - great job and great recovery - You are a great farmer's spokesman
mother nature can make all of us stand up and pay attention.
Wow I seen that on the news and wondering if it hit you. I watched the video where you planted everything with that big machine that was pretty cool. Sorry to here that it hit your fields.
Government weather weapons
@@joby1 HAARP can't quite do that,...... yet.
There is no Mother Nature.
I'm very sorry for the trouble you're having with mother nature. Please stay safe and don't let yourselves or anyone in harms way.
Thank you for the update and please stay safe
It's frustrating farming some times. But it works out in the end. Glad yall didn't get any damage.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO LAURA AND GRANT 😊
I had you guys on my mind. Happy to see you are ok and got to replant.
So sorry to see you going through this. The good thing is that everyone is ok. I hope you are able to restore the lost seeds and everything goes smoothly from here on out. Good luck!
Nice work! That's a cool little machine for the smaller planting jobs! We're praying for you guys, It's going to be a good year! 🙂
Praying for a successful farming season for you both inspire of all the obstacles.
You showed us the reason for the expression "save money for a rainy day." Farming involves both risk and reward. I appreciate your good attitude during times of loss. God bless.
Bless you for doing what you do.
I am always so impressed with your attitude. You just live the Serenity Prayer 'Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference'.
Was up in Marquette this past weekend for graduation, stopped and visited with my buddy Todd D. Was able to watch that fancy German machine put seed in the ground, until everything stopped because of the solar flares, took them awhile to get everything working again, but thank God nothing major damaged, just some rebooting 😅 prayers for great weather and safety 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good luck you two, we need our farmer's
Thankful y'all or your home's wasn't hurt or devastated,in my neck of the woods two and four row mechanical is all we ever used,I've still got a two row and plenty of plates for beans and corn, May God bless y'all and keep you safe.
I grew up on the farm in Southwest Minnesota and feel your pain. Weather risk is real. Take care. Things will get better.
I am sure that I would not last as a farmer, your attitude in the wake of huge weather setbacks is to be admired. I hope the balance of your planting season goes well, Good Luck. Ray
Bummer. I’m glad you guys didn’t get hit by one of those devastating tornadoes
prayers for a good harvest god bless !
That’s sucks Laura but that’s the changes of farmer I wish you success this season .from Canada Ontario cheers.
I appreciate your positive attitude -- can we still farm without technology? You bet! Much success to you both.
Blessings for your crop correction. Hope planting is Easy peasy from here on out!
Laura I am old enough to be your grandfather and grew up in farm country I have never seen a farmer happy about the amount of rain or the price of a crop.
Glad to hear y'all are okay,with the tornadoes in Nebraska,I and I'm sure others that follow,were concerned for y'all
Keep on farming
Such a cool education channel. Thanks for the learning Laura and Grant and fam.
Most certainly when we look upon the infirmaties that we may be facing that have come on us we must look out more broadly to see that which is still coming up green. That opportunity to be reminded of getting back to the basics of one row planting in this sixteen row world is a blessing to remember that even with all this technology, there is still a place for the simple things that our forefathers first deveoped to get us where we are today. God is good all the time; we just have to look broad enough to see it sometimes in the midst of those storms that rage around us. Continue in faith is always the answer.
I got my 6-7 acres planted near the end of april. The corn is several inches tall now. We have been getting a ton of rain here in Kentucky which has been ok for the corn but its got me behind on hay. Life of us farmers!
You guys are Awesome.! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Sorry to hear of the damage, no buts, just, best wishes for the rest of the season. ❤
I’m glad your all safe and sound, yes lots of doing the dressing again and lots of money but you’re still alive
So sorry to see you all having such adversity and lost expenses, especially right off the bat. Not too late to fix it and you all sure did! I'm proud of you all!
Blessings!
Thank you for the warning on Scams related to your Channel. I was contacted last year by a person claiming to be Laura asking for an investment firm a skid of Laura Farms Merchandise.
Praying for a quick recovery to the storm damage to your fields and crops 🙏. good luck with your Season.
Laura and Grant thank you for sharing! So happy that you are safe and still able to bring captivating videos about your daily farming activities. Love the channel. Not a farmer but love @TrailMater, @MattsOffRoadRevovery. Keep up the great work. May god bless your farm.
Laura, saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
Talk about making lemonade!!! Thanks for sharing guys. Really interesting
The top soil loss is the most heart breaking part. You just dont get that back.
I admire your positive attitude inpite of it all. You are a special person and a real role model!
I saw you at Matt’s off road and I was impressed with how you spoke over the microphone. Your driving was ok but you had Royi spotting. I now am watching your channel as a person that grew up on a farm 50 some years ago I find it very interesting and more important I find that you and grant give me hope for gen z. You work your buts off thanks
What a crazy turn of events. Praying for you and all the hardworking people going through this difficult time.
Well that was something different, I hope you can rescue the most of what you can from the flooding. I know insurance doesn't always protect you completely.
Laura still manages to smile, if we lost that smile we would be devastated. Love from Mike. ❤
That one row planter really is very interesting. What an amazing idea for repairing a damaged field! I'm glad to see that you are able to salvage your fields at least a little bit. Looking forward to seeing your next video!
Was hoping to see Laura using the ol' 4020(?) to pull that one row planter until we saw her on the ATV. I recall my grand-dad had an old two row planter that was converted from horse drawn to be pulled behind his '48 Ford 8N. We used it to plant sweet corn on his acreage when I was a kid back in Iowa. He would drive the 8N while I sat in the big metal seat between the seed hoppers and worked the foot pedal and the hand operated lever systems that controlled the two basic functions of the planter. At 10-12 years old, it was all I could do to make 'em work.
Farming is such an exercise in faith and Laura confirmed this. Farmers accept what comes, deal with it, make the best of it, learn from it and move on. It's a wonderful thing. It's really no wonder why our farmers are so fiercely independant. God Bless our farmers!
I was thinking just this morning about riding the seat of the two row horse drawn planter while my Dad drove the 8 N.
Thanks for sharing Laura & Grant sorry to see all the water damage to your fields hopefully your crops are not washed out.
I am sick for you and Grant. I will follow this yerars crops of course and will be interestedto see what this years crop will bring. My brother was a farmer that retired long before you were a glimmer in your father's eye. He grew up in Louisiana and I grew up in Las Vegas just about as far from a farm as I could get. The stories are never far from my thoughts. He was about smart as anyone I know. He took after dad.
Hi Laura, Grant and Gage, I'm pleased my favourite crop farmers from southern Nebraska are all OK. The outcome of weather systems, we have absolutely no influence over, and they'll mow through farm land as they do. Farming is definitely the epitomy of "character building"! Clean up, fix and move on. That's all any of us can do. Looking forward to seeing some more seedlings popping up above the soil as the weeks go by.
I love your channel Laura! Best wishes from me down in tiny NZL, David
God bless you , thank you for farming!!!!!
Hard to see the rows wash out like that I’m sure. Hopefully benefit over rest of the field offsets the areas of damage. Stay strong!😊
I hope you have some kind of crop insurance just to take some of sting out of it. You put a dynamic sun together with a dynamic planet and sometimes these are the results
you get. Keep the faith. I spent 10 years in the Navy and served on two submarines so I have a huge respect for the power of water. I really hope you have a better rest of the
year, we depend on you farmers. My prayers are with you.
Rain, such a fine line between not enough and too much. A good show of the trouble farmers deal with from year to year to grow the crops that feed a world.
John Deere 71 flex planter. one of the best ever made.
Wow that sucks ! At least it was a small portion of your fields. I'm over here in N.H. and not a farmer at all, but I watch all your videos, so naturally when I hear of severe storms in Nebraska I think of you. I hope your luck changes and the storms subside.
you guys are very lucky you didn’t get hit by the tornadoes stay safe and take care
Awesome little piece of equipment. Hope yall dont have to much damage.
Awesome video Laura
Don’t you just love how simple the equipment used to be
I pray that you continue to get the rain you need, but not as gully-washers!
Glad to see that mother nature didn't bless you with tornadoes, but water can do just about as much damage. Bless you both.
We're so sorry to hear and see all of the flooding you guys experienced recently.... hoping that the recovery will be a swift one and that your re-planting will be a huge success... Prayers and thanks for you and your family from Ohio.... hang tough kids
Sorry for the storm damage but definitely thank you for the short shorts 😜
I'm grateful with you too see a little bit of green I'm really glad that it wasn't a complete washout, I like your videos.
How heart breaking 😞 but glad that y'all are safe ! 🙂 Tough people last, thoug times don't. You two will over come this set back in time.
Now I see why you really wanted that bridge over that little creek instead of driving though it.
Stay safe and best wished to you for this years crops.
Hello there , how are you doing today?God bless you!!
Good luck on the new individual rows! Hope y'all have gentle rains for the rest of the summer!
Farming certainly can be a roll of the dice.
So sorry to see the flood and the lost of your work, just what I can said well keep going things happens God Bless all of you. Our best witches from 🇵🇷
Hi Laura & Grant, yes use had a bad storm, but I am thankfull that everyone is ok, cheers from Seagrave Ont
Watching all the reports on the news I was wondering if at some point it may come your way. Just shaking my head in disbelieve wow. Your all safe which is truly the life and soul of your farm. Thank you for what you do.
I really feel like the American people need t know all the struggles you and all the other farmers face. Thank you for all you do
I wish the people who is always on about farmers can see this video. The food that you get from the shop comes with a lot of hard work and gambling, yet it is not the farmer that reaps the financial benefit, but big corporate. Laura and Grant, we feel with you from South Africa.
We can all see that was a heartfelt video. You deserve everyone of your 1/2 million subs.
Please do a live 🎉
Love the videos
A perfect demonstration of the old adage: Be careful what you wish for. You may get it!
Sorry to hear about your setback, but if any one can overcome it is you!
It was cool to seeing the small planter at work.
I'm from the Great Lakes we have plenty of weather systems that are hard to grow crops in. What you just experienced is heartbreaking.
I was hoping you guys came out OK after the recent storms in Nebraska. Sorry to see you were affected, but glad it wasn't any worse.
I love your work it is very inspiring ❤
My prayers go out to you I'm sorry this happen to you but on the great side you were able to fix it and got a good watering stay in faith
