I’m a 65-year old retired Marine and retired teacher who just discovered your channel and I love the videos! I’ve watched a half dozen already. You, your husband, your dad and the farm are such a breath of fresh air! No politics, no agenda, just family and farming. Love your friendly, outgoing personality and your upbeat take on everything. Thanks for sharing your life and your family’s occupation. Farmers feed the world, and we are very grateful for all of your hard work. Best of luck to you and Grant, and keep the smiles (and the videos) coming!
Just watched (again) the video where you declared your farm, house, and family off-limits to the public. You absolutely nailed it! So well done! This subject could have turned people off if not handled correctly and professionally but you did it! If you were in my family, I'd really be proud of how you present yourself! Keep it up!
It has been at five years since I have been home due to college during the planting season in my area. Just saw our neighbor planting corn and it was such a wonderful sight to see it in person once again. It gave me a little more energy to study for exams. Thanks, Laura for all the videos it makes my day.
I don't know how or why youtube recommended your channel to me as I have never watched any videos to do with farming or anything like farming, BUT I found myself really enjoying watching them, you make them very educational and show people exactly what farmers do, I'm very Impressed
I remember being a kid and spending summers on my grandparents farm. We just had regular tractors, etc. back then. Farming technology has come so far since then!
Laura, I grew-up on a farm using a four row John Deere corn planter back in the 1970's, its crazy how big, and efficient machines are today...Thank you for a great presentation. B
I've been enjoying your videos for a while now. Thank you for posting them. Always had a fascination with machines and loved climbing all over them on my uncle's farm when I was much younger. Continued success with the farm. Hope your smile and enthusiasm never fade.
Laura, I was one of the first one hundred or so subscribers to your channel, and I thought it was amazing that you hit thirty thousand in a month. I've only commented once before, and that was to ask you to thank your grandfather for his service. I just wanted to say it makes my heart glad to see how blessed you and Grant are, and I prayed as I watched this that God would continue to bless y'all throughout your lives and onto your children too. Happy one year anniversary.
How come anyone lets a little flimsy girl get out on the field playing with a machine such as this? Some people must have much more money than "small grey things" between theyre ears, jeeses! Get back in kindergarten again, thats better both for you and the machine! Hope you get better soon.
Ok wow. Never watched this type of stuff before. I am amazed by how clearly you love what your doing. Was a pleasure just to watch you love your craft.
What's insane is that 150 years ago it would've taken 1,000 people a week to harvest a field that size, now one farmer can produce enough food to feed hundreds of thousands, amazing what we're capable of achieving.
Congrats on 425K subs in one year, well I guess it would be two years now as this was about a year ago. So happy for you; and you are the one that makes it fun. Never without a warm smile. So proud of you and Grant. Love to see the new equipment demos too!
Nice slowmo at 6.30, you can really see this no-till planter in action :-) The front discs clearing away plant debris from last years harvest, the gauge wheels behind them to control planting speed and depth, the actual planter drill and the closing wheels at the back that cover up the seeds.
Wow , did l get an education This was totally mind-blowing . My 2 great uncles used 2 mules for plowing . I never saw them plant ?? Back in the 50s , 60s . Rich and George Shanks . Even had a road named after their families Im on Hannah's channel since sometime last yr . She's a character , 😂 You ladies are interesting to view . Blessings from Lyndon , Ky . I'm 75 as of the 18th of June . Still.got my basic health , been working since l was 12 yrs old . Haven't stopped , not for income though . I slowed down since my heart started mess in around .

That might be the coolest tractor I've seen yet. And I live in the midwest in farming country. You guys have a great production going there, and I can't imagine how you guys do all of the maintenance. Love your videos and learning so much!
the tracks are what everyone is using in Illinios now do to the depth of the topsoil it is a few feet deep and when it rains you will get stuck with tires even triplets front and rear. I go back home many times a year and, in all seasons, and keep in touch with all my friends weekly love to see the pink thank you for continuing your family tradition you will like the tracks
I drive for Walmart Transportation through Ohio all the time and have seen these tractors all over the place. Very cool video. Thanks for the videos and keep up that hard work. Appreciate all your doing for women in farming and industrial jobs. Wish you guys the best.
I just discovered TH-cam farm videos. Yes I’m ok’d. The last time I was on a tractor was on 1970 on a 40’s model John Deer “Popping Johnny that was about 4 rows.
I have worked John Deere for 25+ years. Specifically, where we make that tractor now and think you should come visit. Thank you for using our equipment.
This girl is every guys dream girl. She gets all excited being around farm equipment whilst most her age are are doing ......well.....girly stuff. You rock Laura!!
I've been a subscriber since the first video posted, really fun to watch and always makes my day a little bit better :-) Greetings from another norwegian "viking"
@@fourgedmushrooms5958 I must emphasize that the comparison has only been made by Vidar so far :-) When googling Lara Croft i found that Fandom describes her abilities like this: "Lara is shown to possess abilities far beyond that of even a peak human being" Perhaps we (as a normal human being) do not understand the abilities of Laura!! :-D
Wonderful with indescribably hard work, hard life, who hasn't tasted it, doesn't know what it's all about! A woman behind the wheel of a tractor is only to be desired! Diligent and persistent in her work and ideas! Big support and take care.
Wish my dad were here to see this. He started farming with an Oliver 70 in the early ‘50s. We gradually acquired a 77 and a MM UBD. 3, 16” bottoms and a mounted 2 row picker! We thought we were something!
4:20 Seed is often treated such that the farmer planting it couldn't tell you exactly what treatment is on it. Of course this often includes neonicotinoids which are indiscriminate in killing both pest and beneficial insects. Effects on birds and mammals seem minimal, however there is a lack of study. Neonicotinoids have been shown to remain on spilled seed for up to 30 days, and it's water soluble. ... All this for corn, to burn as fuel, consume as corn syrup, and to use as cheap garbage feed for animals. Slick tractor though.
I am a California native and I have met many people here from Nebraska and also Iowa. I think farm operation and life is very interesting to us suburbanites. Not just what we see in classic movies
Incredible Glad I found this channel . I am a agricultural enginner myself its a dream to operate this big machine. As I am from India there is no way this type of machinery can operate in our small farm.
Many of large farms have millions of fram equipment setting outside in the weather and the farmer having to live in a house trailer trying to keep up the payments on his or her equipment. I remember when a John Deere 4020 and 200 acres of land would pay for the land, pay for a nice house, feed your family. and pays for a big barn to keep your equipment out of the weather.
Well said.... I have one case 7120 tractor and working 850 acres. One combine 2188. All I can afford. I don't know how these big machines get paid for. Between land rent and expenses it's insane. Farming is becoming a line of credit game. I need new planter but can't afford to even swing the payments
@@hdelano11 This kind of equipment is never really paid for. It is used for the 4-5 years that it is really up to date with few to no break downs, and then is traded in for the next generation of super sized high tech equipment. In the US, you need to be the expert on playing the Federal tax game to write down the operating and acquisition costs of this equipment. In many cases (like the farmer across the road from me), all this equipment is leased and never owned. Margins are thin, mistakes deadly. But if you can survive for your working life, you sell off the land at the end and retire a millionaire. If not, you are just a broke, small time farmer leaning on the fence wondering how the big guy got so lucky. Or, you farm like the brothers behind me have done. They only financed the original 160 acre dairy farm operation they bought. After that, every acre, every piece of equipment was purchased with the money they had in the bank. The equipment they bought was first rate, but used. No additional debt added to their farm ledger. These guys weren't the sit at the kitchen table - let the hired help do the work sort of farmers. I worked a night job for years. Too often when I came home after mid-night I would see one or both of them still doing field work. When I would head to bed around 5am, someone would be heading to the dairy barn to start milking. Just the two of them. I begrudge these two men nothing. They really did earn every nickle of their wealth.
@@DeltaEchoZulu Got any formal education in agriculture, finance, book keeping and heavy duty mechanics? How about soil science and animal husbandry? Start there, all of them, before you even think about doing any kind of farming.
@@cdjhyoung grew up in a farming family...managed a grain elevator for half a decade (buy/sell commodities). Don't have any "formal" education - but if I win hundreds of millions of dollars and lose a few crops, it'd be a learning experience...oh, and no livestock for me thanks. :-)
I have to say that you are still the prettiest , most wholesome , and most personable woman in the farming business . It's easy to tell that the roots of your raising run deep . I just felt the need to say that.. You and Hubby keep up the hard work.. I KNOW it's hard because I grew up farming and raising all of our meat as well as horses. 😎
Can't tell you how many hours I spent walking the planter and making sure the seeds were being consumed while my Grampa drove the tractor. Your spot up on that was a hell of a lot safer than where I was. That's one nice setup!!
[Ida's nephew]Laura, I'm new here. I am absolutely thrilled with your video. I'm from East Germany and the communists destroyed our farm in 40 years after the war. It's good to see that wonderful agricultural engineering is being built here in America.
As excited as a little girl at Christmas just getting to demo that tractor and planter! Congratulations for one year on TH-cam. You're a fine example of the many wonderful young women working in agriculture and show that they have fun doing it!
Don't be absurd, driving a lamborghini without a care in the world is not the same as driving a half broken fiat punto that can break at any moment without enough money to fix it. Guess how many people drive lamborghini compared to latter.
That machine is very impressive. That quad trac looks amazing. The question has to arise as to what advantages it has over a machine with just tires. The quad trac system seems to have many moving parts that have to eventually need replacement. It just looks like more of a cost versus tires. Great video as always. Your enthusiasm is great!
More weight dispersion = less soil compaction. Allows for more even crop emergence. Uneven crop emergence can cause yield loss as slower emerging plants will not be as productive and the faster emerging ones won't make up for the loss of the slow emerging plants.
I can see why America's farmers are the most productive in the world... when the world's best agronomists guide the world's best technology, miracles happen...
Wow!! That's what a million dollars can buy? Sign me up! That was awesome!! Thank you for sharing. I love combines, and would love to see one in a demo. I love your videos. Have a great day. 😊👍
When you see million dollar farming equipment at the county fair, you realize that farming is an industry. The farming industry feeds America. The combine I saw was 2 stories high. You had to climb a ladder on the side of the equipment to get into the cab. It is really amazing, and American farmers are some of the most important people in this county and in the world. They produce food.
@@lukaszherbik2096 Traktory już dawno mamy. Co do osprzętu to też ale nie koniecznie takiej wielkości bo zwyczajnie my nie mamy takich ogromnych pól w jednym miejscu jak oni tylko rozsiane co kawałek. U nas nie opłaca się kupować tego samego co np. w USA bo nie wykorzystamy jego możliwości.
@Charles Joyner "Hell, I even thought I was dead 'til I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska." Unforgiven. That inspired me to visit this state. I'm happy I realized my dream 🙂
With all the chaos in the world today, I find it strangely soothing to watch you work Laura! Everything you are doing is real, has a point, makes the world a slightly better place from your efforts and there is none of the foolish cark that so many other folks are injecting into their stuff. Please Keep Up the Excellent Work that you are doing with your channel and I wish you and Grant and your families all the best of luck in your endeavors.
Laura I really enjoy watching your videos and picking up tips that you have to offer.. I just wanted to share with you that a lot of folks women that is our pirating your name I hope you can register it and stop this many people are talkin to the wrong Laura God bless you and yours and have a wonderful day your friend Donny
When trying to start a diesel, it doesn’t matter if you pump the gas or not. But it is pretty funny! If I had the money to get there, I would spend a couple of weeks fixing everything! Yes, I can put a pivot tire on. ❤
I stumbled onto your channel and am impressed with your show....Laura, the excitement and knowledge makes farming very interesting...keep up the videos....thank you
Gear I'd love to see in action: Harvester Collector (if harvester/collector aren't the same thing) Irrigation pumphouse (if it's centralized) Cultivation (if you do it, and if it's not part of seeding) Silage/storage Transportation to market Straw/hay harvesters
Hello beautiful, welcome to Mac urban farms in Africa Ghana, Accra. Am looking for an investor to agribusiness with on vegetables and pork production with technology in no smell pig farming.
I remember as a kid only the best driver was allowed to be the planter. Anyone was allowed to bale or plow. But you didn't want jacked up rows. Those days are long gone with the new self driving tractors. And wow I can't believe the level of tech. Our seeder was like 1/4 the size of that and we crawled along.
How much more beautiful and pleasant is Laura on a tractor than some cat on a pier! Great video, I would go into farming right away :-). With her, of course. :-) It's a joke obviously, being an old man in Eastern Europe, but I love Laura's infectious enthusiasm.
Laura, I've been off the farm several years, however we were always cautioned to wear long sleeve shirts and chemical resistant gloves (i.e. latex) when handling seed grains, especially corn. The tag on the seed bag should give you instructions. As I said, it's been a long time...
Fascinating! Love the demos and the technology. I only wish my dad were alive to see it. He would be blown away. I love the channel and your videos. Your enthusiasm and bubbly personality are truly inspirational. Makes me want to get up off my old, tired ass and go do something. Of all the youtube channels I watch, "Laura Farms" is hands-down, my favorite!
amazing...I no longer need the B.S. on tv ... I now can watch real people doing real jobs... thank you and all the farmers that feed us ... god bless the U.S.A... F.J.B..........
If the massive tractor doesn’t take your breath away, the unfolding of the implement will! Wow! That set up is so cool! So much info....how does your brain not explode 🤯??? Awesome video ❤️😊 Love ❤️ you, Grammy
Chet & Dougo, and the little Swede put the big yellow tanks in the front of their New Planter tractor. And No, the tanks dont match Big Bad John's Yellow! The tanks, kinda look like the old suitcases, the straps that is!
It has exploded, because they haven't purchased it yet! I know Laura said the tractor alone was about 600,000.00 plus, and yes it it more expensive, but they're failing to remember, it's a high speed planter, 10mph, so that means, there's not very many tractors & planters that can do 10mph while planting. So farmers need to look at the savings, rather than the costs. John Deere needs to teach Value Selling, to all their dealers. Like it all comes complete, with the latest software, the receiver, the tanks, even the tracks on the planter. And then take the cost of both, and spread it over 10 to 15 years. Once you see that cost, it's well worth the price. Instead of taking a month to plant, or maybe longer, you'll finish in two weeks, and those two weeks, you prepare for planting beans. Yep, I think I need to become a sales guru for John Deere, Laura, if ya can put in a good word for me, I'll get you some New John Deere caps and shirts, free of charge, if I get the Sales position!🚜
Hey Laura, I have something I need to talk too you about. I don't know this, but your an Icon in the farming industry on TH-cam, im sure twitter & Instagram, so i need your help. Its your hair! When your in the Business of EMS (Emergency Medical Services) we see a lot of stuff, and i can tell you, you should be well aware of loose clothing, scarves, things that can catch, even the other day, when you said, when your by yourself, you dont ztand behind the tractor. That tells me you know the dangers of tractor jumping out of gear, or moving. And please, dont be mad, its the fact that your hair is beautiful, but all it takes is one time, and hair and scalp are ripped from your head, hand drills, combines, wind blowing, all it takes is just a bit too get caught. Your a Great role model, and we dont need any accidents. Please, think about it, ive seen enough that would make you sick, I've seen Firemen & women throw up, because of things theyve never seen before. Please, its not a scolding, farming is already dangerous, and the accidents when they happen, seem too be even worse. I guess its the size of the Equipment, a good friends mom, standing next too the combine, decided, she was going too pull a few bean stalks out. This was years ago, and like Lilian does, she probably looked away, and within seconds, two fingers were amputated, a 3 & 4th were partially cut off. Now, not everyone drives new machinery, most farmers use older equipment, she wasnt sure if she looked away, or if it grabbed her hand while she tried pulling them out. But like every farm accident, it happens fast, and when it happens, it always, always, always, turns out much worse!... Stay Safe, and thank you all for the great videos!.....
Thank you and your family for being great farmers. I can tell you really enjoy it. People need to wear your shirts. Instead of pro. Sports. Unless they like to starve. Love the machinery
I just found your site several months ago. Since then i started at the beginning and have watched all of your videos. I've really enjoyed following your posts. I had a small farm a while back, and have been able to relate to your farming in a small way, and to watch how it's done on a large scale. You dont seem to have the same enthusiasm you had in your earlier posts, and it seems as though you are rushing just to get something published. I hope i'm wrong, and would love to continue to see your videos!
as a non-farmer, how does something like this actually work out as far as ROI? Is it a leased machine or just the sheer volume of crops make it viable?
When you're farming at this scale, any increase in efficiency is very significant. That being said, I'd still imagine that they will never see the money back on this.
Laura, I love watching your videos you post. I have learned many things I didn't know even from growing up on a large farm myself. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
It's a breath of fresh air to see some of your life. You are the future of this crazy world we share, a world where women do the dirty work of cleaning up the mess men made for so long and do it with grace, beauty and integrity. YOU GO GIRL !
I bet the per acre subscription alone for the GPS to run that thing cost more then my entire equipment cost per acre. But I don't have a piece of equipment newer then 1990 and almost none of it is Deere.
Or just the in last 100 years! From when the steam traction engine that was the ultimate farm machine to modern farm tractor robots of today. The amazing innovation is unbelievable for such a short time frame in history. What's next for framing? I can hardly wait to see what's in the future 🤠
I’d love to see more demos. Start with you getting your pilot's license. Or maybe a small helicopter for checking on the crops and going to town. If they bring them we will watch you try them out. No problem.
I believe that planter will be built right across the road from where my grandparents lived in Paton, Iowa. The Parker gravity wagon was built in Jefferson, Iowa, where I went to school.
Thanks for the vid, it's really lit that you show how crops🌾 are cultivated & what substances are used so that's everything grow to be all organic and healthy!🌿👍
Am a former farmer, and used smaller equipt from the 1960's-1980's. Wow, planting at 10 mph. Plus, those tracks make it such a smooth ride.

Laura's smile and happiness is contagious! I absolutely love her!
It's an act for the camera, get over it
Все хороши когда спят и дома нету.
me too
Thanks for showing what is possible through hard work, hope and teamwork. It may sound obvious but the masses seem to have no idea .
I have worked John Deere for 25+ years. Specifically, where we make that tractor now and think you should come visit. Thank you for using our equipment.
This girl is every guys dream girl. She gets all excited being around farm equipment whilst most her age are are doing ......well.....girly stuff. You rock Laura!!
You are the real "Lara Croft", feminine and handy. Your soul and your way of communicating are addictive. Love from Oslo Norway
I have to agree with the Viking
I've been a subscriber since the first video posted, really fun to watch and always makes my day a little bit better :-)
Greetings from another norwegian "viking"
Lara Croft WTF? You Norwegians are weird! From Australia!
@@fourgedmushrooms5958 I must emphasize that the comparison has only been made by Vidar so far :-)
When googling Lara Croft i found that Fandom describes her abilities like this:
"Lara is shown to possess abilities far beyond that of even a peak human being"
Perhaps we (as a normal human being) do not understand the abilities of Laura!! :-D
@@fourgedmushrooms5958 this comperison is probably be on your state of mind...

Wonderful with indescribably hard work, hard life, who hasn't tasted it, doesn't know what it's all about! A woman behind the wheel of a tractor is only to be desired! Diligent and persistent in her work and ideas! Big support and take care.
Wish my dad were here to see this. He started farming with an Oliver 70 in the early ‘50s. We gradually acquired a 77 and a MM UBD.
3, 16” bottoms and a mounted 2 row picker! We thought we were something!
Early 50's well you probably were.
That old Chevy and parker gravity wagon filling the million dollar machine was awesome! 😎
Hey dad, let’s do a video on the Parker gravity wagon!
Did you take a turn in running this tractor and planter?
@@joefudd I did not. Maybe next year. 😊
@@LEAADFarms hopefully it will be around again next year!
Loved to see Farming Simulator tractors working in real life! It looks really big IRL
4:20 Seed is often treated such that the farmer planting it couldn't tell you exactly what treatment is on it. Of course this often includes neonicotinoids which are indiscriminate in killing both pest and beneficial insects. Effects on birds and mammals seem minimal, however there is a lack of study. Neonicotinoids have been shown to remain on spilled seed for up to 30 days, and it's water soluble. ... All this for corn, to burn as fuel, consume as corn syrup, and to use as cheap garbage feed for animals. Slick tractor though.
you basically summarise modern agicolture
I am a California native and I have met many people here from Nebraska and also Iowa. I think farm operation and life is very interesting to us suburbanites. Not just what we see in classic movies
Incredible Glad I found this channel . I am a agricultural enginner myself its a dream to operate this big machine. As I am from India there is no way this type of machinery can operate in our small farm.
Many of large farms have millions of fram equipment setting outside in the weather and the farmer having to live in a house trailer trying to keep up the payments on his or her equipment. I remember when a John Deere 4020 and 200 acres of land would pay for the land, pay for a nice house, feed your family. and pays for a big barn to keep your equipment out of the weather.
Well said.... I have one case 7120 tractor and working 850 acres. One combine 2188. All I can afford. I don't know how these big machines get paid for. Between land rent and expenses it's insane. Farming is becoming a line of credit game. I need new planter but can't afford to even swing the payments
@@hdelano11 This kind of equipment is never really paid for. It is used for the 4-5 years that it is really up to date with few to no break downs, and then is traded in for the next generation of super sized high tech equipment. In the US, you need to be the expert on playing the Federal tax game to write down the operating and acquisition costs of this equipment. In many cases (like the farmer across the road from me), all this equipment is leased and never owned. Margins are thin, mistakes deadly. But if you can survive for your working life, you sell off the land at the end and retire a millionaire. If not, you are just a broke, small time farmer leaning on the fence wondering how the big guy got so lucky.
Or, you farm like the brothers behind me have done. They only financed the original 160 acre dairy farm operation they bought. After that, every acre, every piece of equipment was purchased with the money they had in the bank. The equipment they bought was first rate, but used. No additional debt added to their farm ledger. These guys weren't the sit at the kitchen table - let the hired help do the work sort of farmers. I worked a night job for years. Too often when I came home after mid-night I would see one or both of them still doing field work. When I would head to bed around 5am, someone would be heading to the dairy barn to start milking. Just the two of them. I begrudge these two men nothing. They really did earn every nickle of their wealth.
…now just gotta win the Powerball, then I can farm.
@@DeltaEchoZulu Got any formal education in agriculture, finance, book keeping and heavy duty mechanics? How about soil science and animal husbandry? Start there, all of them, before you even think about doing any kind of farming.
@@cdjhyoung grew up in a farming family...managed a grain elevator for half a decade (buy/sell commodities). Don't have any "formal" education - but if I win hundreds of millions of dollars and lose a few crops, it'd be a learning experience...oh, and no livestock for me thanks. :-)
It is interesting to see the decals that I have printed or I have seen printed at work on the actual machine!
Anyone else singing.... The midwest farmer's daughters, really makes you feel alright.....
She's the only reason I clicked on the video...so, yes.....yes I am.
And thanks Brian Wilson
Laura is so bubbly and beautiful and is the coolest female farmer I know !!!! Love her videos.
I have to say that you are still the prettiest , most wholesome , and most personable woman in the farming business . It's easy to tell that the roots of your raising run deep . I just felt the need to say that.. You and Hubby keep up the hard work.. I KNOW it's hard because I grew up farming and raising all of our meat as well as horses. 😎
Can't tell you how many hours I spent walking the planter and making sure the seeds were being consumed while my Grampa drove the tractor. Your spot up on that was a hell of a lot safer than where I was. That's one nice setup!!
[Ida's nephew]Laura, I'm new here. I am absolutely thrilled with your video. I'm from East Germany and the communists destroyed our farm in 40 years after the war. It's good to see that wonderful agricultural engineering is being built here in America.
As excited as a little girl at Christmas just getting to demo that tractor and planter! Congratulations for one year on TH-cam. You're a fine example of the many wonderful young women working in agriculture and show that they have fun doing it!
Don't be absurd, driving a lamborghini without a care in the world is not the same as driving a half broken fiat punto that can break at any moment without enough money to fix it.
Guess how many people drive lamborghini compared to latter.
That machine is very impressive. That quad trac looks amazing. The question has to arise as to what advantages it has over a machine with just tires. The quad trac system seems to have many moving parts that have to eventually need replacement. It just looks like more of a cost versus tires.
Great video as always. Your enthusiasm is great!
More weight dispersion = less soil compaction. Allows for more even crop emergence. Uneven crop emergence can cause yield loss as slower emerging plants will not be as productive and the faster emerging ones won't make up for the loss of the slow emerging plants.
I can see why America's farmers are the most productive in the world... when the world's best agronomists guide the world's best technology, miracles happen...
0:21 DAMN! This Machine looks impressive. The tank like treads and see through front make it look sci-fi :D
Another great video, so inspiring to see you all working together and all smiles! God bless you all.
Wow!! That's what a million dollars can buy? Sign me up! That was awesome!! Thank you for sharing. I love combines, and would love to see one in a demo. I love your videos. Have a great day. 😊👍
When you see million dollar farming equipment at the county fair, you realize that farming is an industry.
The farming industry feeds America. The combine I saw was 2 stories high. You had to climb a ladder on the side of the equipment to get into the cab. It is really amazing, and American farmers are some of the most important people in this county and in the world. They produce food.
You are the most beautiful and kindest

With all the chaos in the world today, I find it strangely soothing to watch you work Laura! Everything you are doing is real, has a point, makes the world a slightly better place from your efforts and there is none of the foolish cark that so many other folks are injecting into their stuff. Please Keep Up the Excellent Work that you are doing with your channel and I wish you and Grant and your families all the best of luck in your endeavors.

When trying to start a diesel, it doesn’t matter if you pump the gas or not. But it is pretty funny! If I had the money to get there, I would spend a couple of weeks fixing everything! Yes, I can put a pivot tire on. ❤
I stumbled onto your channel and am impressed with your show....Laura, the excitement and knowledge makes farming very interesting...keep up the videos....thank you

Harvester
Collector (if harvester/collector aren't the same thing)
Irrigation pumphouse (if it's centralized)
Cultivation (if you do it, and if it's not part of seeding)

Transportation to market
Straw/hay harvesters
Hello beautiful, welcome to Mac urban farms in Africa Ghana, Accra. Am looking for an investor to agribusiness with on vegetables and pork production with technology in no smell pig farming.
Happy anniversary one year and I've watched every one of them... I'll be watching them all this year.....😁
I remember as a kid only the best driver was allowed to be the planter. Anyone was allowed to bale or plow. But you didn't want jacked up rows. Those days are long gone with the new self driving tractors. And wow I can't believe the level of tech. Our seeder was like 1/4 the size of that and we crawled along.
Another young enthusiastic, energetic, entrepreneur. Excellent work, the future of the world is bright.
Awesome SMILE on your thumbnail BTW😀
How much more beautiful and pleasant is Laura on a tractor than some cat on a pier! Great video, I would go into farming right away :-). With her, of course. :-) It's a joke obviously, being an old man in Eastern Europe, but I love Laura's infectious enthusiasm.
I bet she's crazy good under the covers.
Laura, I've been off the farm several years, however we were always cautioned to wear long sleeve shirts and chemical resistant gloves (i.e. latex) when handling seed grains, especially corn. The tag on the seed bag should give you instructions. As I said, it's been a long time...
Good point hope she learns from that comment.
Yeah, but with those shoulders...
Seriously of course, safety first. But, thanks for showing off as well!
😇😇🥰🥰🥰😍😃🤩😘🥵🥶🤠🥳🥳🥳🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸😎😎😎😷😷😷

Fascinating! Love the demos and the technology. I only wish my dad were alive to see it. He would be blown away. I love the channel and your videos. Your enthusiasm and bubbly personality are truly inspirational. Makes me want to get up off my old, tired ass and go do something. Of all the youtube channels I watch, "Laura Farms" is hands-down, my favorite!
amazing...I no longer need the B.S. on tv ... I now can watch real people doing real jobs... thank you and all the farmers that feed us ... god bless the U.S.A... F.J.B..........
If the massive tractor doesn’t take your breath away, the unfolding of the implement will! Wow! That set up is so cool!
So much info....how does your brain not explode 🤯???
Awesome video ❤️😊
Love ❤️ you, Grammy
Chet & Dougo, and the little Swede
put the big yellow tanks in the front of their New Planter tractor. And No, the tanks dont match Big Bad John's Yellow! The tanks, kinda look like the old suitcases, the straps that is!
It has exploded, because they haven't purchased it yet! I know Laura said the tractor alone was about 600,000.00 plus, and yes it it more expensive, but they're failing to remember, it's a high speed planter, 10mph, so that means, there's not very many tractors & planters that can do 10mph while planting. So farmers need to look at the savings, rather than the costs. John Deere needs to teach Value Selling, to all their dealers. Like it all comes complete, with the latest software, the receiver, the tanks, even the tracks on the planter. And then take the cost of both, and spread it over 10 to 15 years. Once you see that cost, it's well worth the price. Instead of taking a month to plant, or maybe longer, you'll finish in two weeks, and those two weeks, you prepare for planting beans. Yep, I think I need to become a sales guru for John Deere, Laura, if ya can put in a good word for me, I'll get you some New John Deere caps and shirts, free of charge, if I get the Sales position!🚜
Hey Laura, I have something I need to talk too you about. I don't know this, but your an Icon in the farming industry on TH-cam, im sure twitter & Instagram, so i need your help. Its your hair! When your in the Business of EMS (Emergency Medical Services) we see a lot of stuff, and i can tell you, you should be well aware of loose clothing, scarves, things that can catch, even the other day, when you said, when your by yourself, you dont ztand behind the tractor. That tells me you know the dangers of tractor jumping out of gear, or moving. And please, dont be mad, its the fact that your hair is beautiful, but all it takes is one time, and hair and scalp are ripped from your head, hand drills, combines, wind blowing, all it takes is just a bit too get caught. Your a Great role model, and we dont need any accidents. Please, think about it, ive seen enough that would make you sick, I've seen Firemen & women throw up, because of things theyve never seen before. Please, its not a scolding, farming is already dangerous, and the accidents when they happen, seem too be even worse. I guess its the size of the Equipment, a good friends mom, standing next too the combine, decided, she was going too pull a few bean stalks out. This was years ago, and like Lilian does, she probably looked away, and within seconds, two fingers were amputated, a 3 & 4th were partially cut off. Now, not everyone drives new machinery, most farmers use older equipment, she wasnt sure if she looked away, or if it grabbed her hand while she tried pulling them out. But like every farm accident, it happens fast, and when it happens, it always, always, always, turns out much worse!... Stay Safe, and thank you all for the great videos!.....
Thank you and your family for being great farmers. I can tell you really enjoy it. People need to wear your shirts. Instead of pro. Sports. Unless they like to starve. Love the machinery
Your John Deere dealer will love the weekly service calls to fix the electronics
I can't imagine the expense😂
the 8RX is a marvel. The best machine built I have seen best regards francis
I just found your site several months ago. Since then i started at the beginning and have watched all of your videos. I've really enjoyed following your posts. I had a small farm a while back, and have been able to relate to your farming in a small way, and to watch how it's done on a large scale.
You dont seem to have the same enthusiasm you had in your earlier posts, and it seems as though you are rushing just to get something published. I hope i'm wrong, and would love to continue to see your videos!
as a non-farmer, how does something like this actually work out as far as ROI? Is it a leased machine or just the sheer volume of crops make it viable?
When you're farming at this scale, any increase in efficiency is very significant. That being said, I'd still imagine that they will never see the money back on this.
Think this must be targeted at contract planters.
It's how you become a slave
That's one piece of awesome looking machinery!
Now I finally know why the seed has this color, again learned something new. Thank you very much for the video, Laura 😁
picking and holding seed corn in your hand not advised...
Laura, I love watching your videos you post. I have learned many things I didn't know even from growing up on a large farm myself. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
My God. What a girl!!
Beautiful, lovely personality, practical, capable, FIT, and Gorgeous!

It's a breath of fresh air to see some of your life. You are the future of this crazy world we share, a world where women do the dirty work of cleaning up the mess men made for so long and do it with grace, beauty and integrity. YOU GO GIRL !
They want our future to be bugs, lab meat and GMO soy burgers and if people stay asleep that's what we will get.
Somehow I appreciate the Amish even more after this video... :-D
I bet the per acre subscription alone for the GPS to run that thing cost more then my entire equipment cost per acre. But I don't have a piece of equipment newer then 1990 and almost none of it is Deere.
We've come a long way since our hunter and gatherer days.
Or are we? :) Look into agriculture and the downsides aswell :) Hunter gatherers had some things going for them compared to our civilization.
Can't help but feel like we've lost so much along the way.
@@jamesfreeman8276 We've definitely lost any semblance of sustainability.
Or just the in last 100 years! From when the steam traction engine that was the ultimate farm machine to modern farm tractor robots of today. The amazing innovation is unbelievable for such a short time frame in history. What's next for framing? I can hardly wait to see what's in the future 🤠
