My 4 year old girl at bed time said dad we need to pray for Chet. He needs rain. So my girl is praying for you guys hope you guys have an awesome rest of this summer. 👍👍
We need to return to the ways of our grandparents that grew up during the great depression. Save everything.
I remember some politician said, " Anybody can be a farmer". Too bad he can't spend a week with you keeping things going. Great video.
Michael Bloomberg! 🤦🏻♂️
Bloomberg couldn’t repair a pencil sharpener. But he knows what it takes to be a farmer. Lol
@@sharonmechling7332 Exactly!
I've heard a dumb politician say we didn't need farmers, we have grocery stores. And now days you ask the kid where food comes from , they say out the can. Go figure , need to put them all the work for a few days if they could stand it.
God made a farmer, by Ronald Regan.

Hey Dougo , quick story for you and your Dad . My late father-in-law and his brother-in-law were on shore leave during WWII in Pascagoula Mississippi and were trying to make it home to Laurel Mississippi to see their wives . Most roads back then were still dirt . Anyway , they were driving like crazy down an old country road , and all of a sudden they had a flat tire . Like your grandpa said , tires were limited , so they didn't have a spare . Being resourceful ol cotton farmers they were , they took the tire off , laid it on its side , broke the bead , and commenced to packing it with sand !!! They were laughing and cuttin up while they were tellin me this story , (many times over the years) , and said it was a little hairy at 70 mph , but they made it home to their wives !!! Man I sure do miss takin him back over to Mississippi and drivin those back roads and hearing him tell me the same ol stories . I always listened to him tell them like it was the first time that I'd ever heard them . They're all gone now , but I can close my eyes and sit a spell with them , and hear them like it's the first time 😪🇺🇲🙏🚜❤
Lots of story's of people in Australian outback using spinifex grass to do the same thing
A great TV show called bush mechanics based around a bunch of aborigines travelling the outback keeping their old car running demonstrated this principle ong with lots of other cool and funny bush fixes
Well maybe if we didn’t try to buy the cheapest junk from foreign countries all those years and take jobs from our own country men we wouldn’t be in the shape we are in… we have done this to ourselves. Faster Faster cheaper cheaper. Sooner or later.. well Later is here deal with it!
@@tonycurtiss1081 where is this coming from?
@@toneylamey9488 if I have to explain it your not gonna get anyway. May have commented in wrong place. If I offended I apologize!
@@tonycurtiss1081
Most tracks are made in the US
In Australia We can source cheap shitty tracks from China by the container load but its the genuine tracks that are hard to get
Along with most things made in the US or Europe, theyre all back ordered to the moon, Asian stuff has caught back up fairly well
Hate to tell you but out sourcing isn't the only problem its internal in the country
Iv got my own ideas but I don't wanna offend or Start a political war in the comments
But as an outsider it seems civid restrictions have halted your economy and restarting it is proving very slow and difficult
Ah you two getting in the cab making those jokes really got me. lol
Chet. Dougo has taught you the greatest thing in life. When faced with troubles laugh and just fix it. If you let every thing get too you I’m sure you’d be crazy!!
That's where the term "Everything's gone haywire" comes from.
@WatchWesWork is another corn/rust belter who often deals with farm equipment.
The pain is real.
The Struggle Bus is back in town...I hate "Those Day's" ! Great recovery Fellas!!
Dougo, back when I was a kid, 70+ years ago, the saying was, with baling wire and a pair of pliers in the tool box you can fix anything. WOW 70 years ago how time flies. Cheers......
Dougo was killing it today had me howling laughing!!!
Talk about a bad rubber disassembly day! Two tires & a track! That was a struggle day. Y'all handled it well.
Man when it rains it pours dang what a day. Nice drone footage
The bus was full today !! 💪👍🏼🤣
Old man Buckshot told us during the war, you took whatever tire you could get. He was only able to get a set that didn’t fit his Farmall. He had a really sharp brain and did the math and put them over the outside of the worn out tires.
,,, you are so Blessed ...Doggo you too ... your the best ... well you all are really
the idea that you could drive all the machines ... you can fix em too ... this is amazing to me ...
Hey at least Grandpa and Eric was being productive. Everyone else was riding around on the struggle bus.
Great video guys.
Appreciate the Farmers who work hard, struggle through issues and breakdowns, to feed all the rest of us.
Always killn it gentleman 😎
Loved that “beautiful bean footage” from BS spraying with camera outside!
that's a bad day. Even the poor beans 'mullered' in the repair process. having several of you together helps to keep your sense of humour when 'the wheels come off'. May God's blessings be recognised you in all everyday.
Never throw anything away!
Merlin is right! "I drive a Chevy!" He's a smart man.
My son drives a dodge, and I have to say it is the roughest riding truck I ever sat my butt in, hell the thing rides like a lumber wagon. I think I will keep my chevy.
Best footage of a sprayer and tractor I have ever seen. Such a pity that a lot of manufacturing has gone off shore and no government is doing anything about it.
Oh the joy. . . . the joy of having one of those days when whatever you touch turns to "junk". It is appreciated not to hear a bunch of cussing etc. Some things in life are days where a person can melt in tears or laugh about how crazy it is. One wonders at times what next will happen. Thank you for showing us a better way dealing with adversity. It still is tough, but "hang in there". 🤔
Ya know, sometimes you are the windshield. And other times you are the bug. Be a farmer they said, It will be fun they said. Love your content guys. Keep it up.
The bus has ben full around here lately as well. Nice to see grandpa is getting in the videos a little bit at a time.
I think the bus is about to break down as well 😂
Ol Marlin gots jokes 🤣🤣
Well Chet , Dougo ,Brody, Eric keep pumping out them great videos doing a wonderful job
Careful making light of the Chevrolet Chet, my 02 Silverado Z 71 has over 325,000 miles on her and she still runs as good as she did when she was new, and absolutely everything works. It's all about the maintenance. I take care of her and she takes care of me.
So I used to work in manufacturing with global supplied parts.
One of the major reasons for these inventory shortages is a strategy manufacturers use to limit on hand inventory to avoid having to pay taxes on it and not have completed product become obsolete.
The company I worked for didn't build anything that wasn't ordered.
Now this is fine as long as supply and demand is smooth.
When it's not you end up with these shortages.
And it can be the simplest item.
Manufacturers need to stay in business too.
Quote of this video: "I guess when the cables are showing that means they're shot." There is always something that shows up as a surpriese that slows progress.
Well, the best quote came from Duggo: "The corn cobs were gettin' awful old!" LOL
No the even better one was to use the white cobs last as you can use them to check for, erm, medical issues LOL!
Thank you for fighting the good fight to keep us fed. These days everything is junk doesn't last anywhere close to how long it used to. I save everything the town hates it but here soon when you can't get anything to fix anything they will thank me for keeping all this " junk" it's parts people come on. Lol. Your junk saved you today that's a win.
Dougo > Hoarding is frowned upon.
Chet > We don’t want the toilet paper deal to happen again.
Dougo > The corn cobs were getting awful old.
Chet > Did you save the white corn cobs for last?
Dougo > That’s what I was told, the white ones are for last, it’s like a check up.
😂👍😂
The corncobs work best on a drill. On 2 speed.😃😃😃😃
@@johndeere4011 😂👍😂
Amy was just decluttering in a recent instagram post. Hopefully Doug didn't lose to much. 🤣
@@bethknapp2736 😂👍
Love Merlin! I know he doesn’t like TH-cam, but a video of him with some farm history would be great!
A big difference between “back in the day” and now. We could patch up our old equipment with stuff in our farm shop or laying around on the farm. Old timers like my late dad (born in 1913), never threw anything away. If you had a torch, a welder and some tools, you could work on nearly anything. Baling wire was a must. We’ve even used it to weld with. I still have a few piles of stuff just for a reminder.
I understand the need for modern equipment and technology but these shortages are literally killing us. Our politicians should be helping us instead of fighting each other.
I won't stop Praying for your parts issues and for all farmers. If farmers can farm we can't eat. Thank you gentlemen and God bless you all. 💪🏽🙏💖🐝
It's a long and deep cup of coffee to talk about what is coming.......but it's a gut punch to speak about the cause. We are a million miles off course from" Our lives, our fortune's, and our sacred honor" and like Doug O say " if you know you know.
And the guy that said "I can teach anyone to become a farmer" is the guy that refuses to allow his "network" to tell the truth about what's really going on! I never would have believed it if I wasn't living it!
That’s 2 videos in a row for Merlyn. He probably will be on Instagram next week.
DRONE ACTION!! 👍👍
Dougo asking about filming for future farmers buying older equipment. Lmao! 😂
Just one of those days guys, everyone has them doesn't matter what color tractor you drive or brand of truck. Good video.
U guys are like us, when something breaks early in the day, look out, alot more coming our way the same day. U fellas stay so calm and collective where as we get mad and bicker and holler. Hahahaha
The farmers here have a spare tire in every size. Great video 👍 👍
21:45 "20 years from now when the small kids...." Chet, that's your call to action!!
With age comes wisdom. That’s why grampa Larson drives a Chevy. And said no struggle bus here I drive. Chevy. Yep very wise old man. Love him!!!! Chevy for life !!!
When life is going to Hell in a hand basket, get out the drone! You’re right Chet, everyone likes drone footage especially when coupled with a rockin’ tune. Hopefully, things start running smoother soon. Cheers
That video footage flying over beans, on front of tractor was wild, you guys are like KILLING your angles and shots footage, just Hollywood, screw that BETTER than Hollywood THIS IS REAL ...REALITY SHOW AWESOME GUYS😁🤣🤯😎👍👍👍💯
God love y'all. What a day. Prayers that you can turn the corner before harvest. The wheels on the bus go round and round until it gets to Larson Farms then it stops for a prolonged visit.
Oh yes do we remember the struggle bus and the baling wire repair kit back in the day. it was everywhere. from the grain binder to the trash machine to the scoop shovel. and the soup can lids to patch the mouse holes in the Grainery.
At least you guys can still smile and laugh when things don't go right.
I see new Merch T-Shirt... "Brodie Did IT!"
Chet your filming is next level stuff , gives us non farmers a great perspective on the operation.
My dad used leather shoe laces as rings on John Deere 2 cylinder tractors during the war to get through the season, same with bearings.
It’s a Monday on a Wednesday!!
Lol
You ALL have excellent attitudes to “Murphy’s Law.”
My Step-Father woulda been heard cussing over a mile away!!
What's cussing?
We're back to the Great Depression mindest again, keep everything because you might need it sometime in the future
That definitely was a Monday on a Wednesday. As the old song said “if it weren’t for bad luck, there’d be no luck at all”. lol. But the Good Lord helps us make it thru! 👍❤️🙏
LOL what a bad day for you man. You not only teaching the kids you are also inspiring them to be farmers let's hope. Cuz we need Future Farmers. Thank you men for sharing with us
I remember getting a generator and a welder loaded up in the back of the old ford pick up. Going out to middle of a field to help grandpa weld back together the combines tie rod end that snapped in a turn. Wasn’t the first time he band aided that.
Silver lining in every dark cloud , Doug correct learning experience for those that have never done it
The wheels on the bus go round and round....
I remember in the mid 50 my grandpa had to fix his truck and farm equipment with anythi9ng he could make or dig out of scrap heaps around the county. It was not because parts were no available it was because he was retired and received only $75.00 a month from retirement and SS combined.
I’m sure the really bad comments about what happens don’t make the videos. But I will say your team really breaks through all the barriers put in place with positive intent. Keep it up!
All of us who work on things mechanical fully understand your day. My days were spent fixing machines that make things. We felt if they hadn't broke something by morning coffee they weren't trying. As much as I understand, I smile to know I wasn't alone... Thank you
Hey Chet you should talk with your dad and uncle and grandpa and see if they would be interested in building a 2 million bushel bin
When all else fails throw the drone up! Great video guys. Everybody loves you!
Sorry for the troubles, but no one has gotten hurt. Stay safe.
Eric's eye looks much better. I had an bloody eye like that. Was due to a fight that I won!
Erik's bloody eye, it was suggested, resulted from "eating bad calamari"?...iirc...I just wasn't aware that there were octopi in Artichoke Lake, nor indeed, sourced anywhere close to Minnesota? If factual...were I B/S...I'd avoid that "cuisine " 'till on vacation, or the like, until nearer seashore...just sayin'...
Thank ya'll for farmin', fixin', feedin' and fuelin' 🇺🇸 !
Back in 2021 I went to restaurant supply company online and ordered a case of napkins a case of toilet paper, case of paper towels, case of 9 inch plastic dinner plates.
Bought a box of contractor's trash bags 3 mil and wrapped the cases with the bags and stored in shed!
It’s days like today that make you appreciate the other ones.
For many years we’ve lived far from stores & we’d get snowed in for days. So, I bought in bulk out of necessity, then picked things up on sale too, & always stayed stocked up. Glad I did, we had more than a year’s worth of toilet paper.
Doug you are right tires sugar gas we had stamp books and more enjoyed video be safe god bless
Makes you appreciate the really good days that much more. Except when that happens you just kind of hold your breath waiting for something to let go!
I can not tell you how many Monday’s I have had on Wednesday. Or Tuesday. Thursday and on it goes.
I love watching Larson farm working. It is so entertaining.
Dougo what is the advantage of tracks over tires ? Tracks appear to be more prone to damage and are harder to repair.
You guys are need to be master mechanics as well as farmers. Very impressed by your ability to repair and operate all that equipment
Love watching you guys work together.
Heck yeah, the one Chevy guy having a great day. Go Grandpa 👍🏻
Big o Dougo showing his mechanical strength. Keep it up.
Awesome Video Chet! Love Mr, Dougo’s commentary!!!
The struggle bus 🚌 is real!
That is the biggest wrench I have ever seen!
Team Work makes The Dream Work!!! #larsonfarms
Hello Chet , Dougo, Brody, Eric, Merlin , stuff happens in mysterious ways an usually not on Monday’s anymore. That is awesome the corn and bean Ben is getting done before harvesting .Happy Anniversary Dougo & Amy.
You guys had a packed double-decker struggle bus!
If only the wheels would fall off the struggle bus! Hope it gets better soon! Thanks again for all the great videos!
Boy if you guys didn’t have bad luck, you wouldn’t have luck at all. K hopefully your luck changes soon. On the better half of the day glad the bin is all most done. God bless stay safe and stay positive
Please cut the wire to the backup alarm Haha. Great video 👍 👍
That was quite the gong show. Now that garbage is done for the rest of the season. Everything should go smoothly. 🙄 Stay safe and God bless.
Hey Cole- Where are those rubber boots? That lime in the concrete will ruin your boots! I know from experience! Looks like the concrete pouring was a lot less work than getting ready for it. Great video, thanks for sharing. Also I don’t blame you on the Milwaukee tools, I love them too!
Cool Shots and Angles from the BigSwede spraying :) bit of variation is nice
The bus was full today! Keep up the hard work love the show.
We all have days like that, I had one this week, but how I keep a smile on my face is I tell myself if everything turns to crap today then nothing will be left to go wrong tomorrow! Tomorrow will be a great day!
Well, the Struggle-bus showed up with a full load and stayed for entire day. Had to spray-wash a manure spreader once so we could replace the chain. Never again! Thanks for another great video.
We had them corn cobs in the out house. Two red ones, and a white one. First you used a red one. Then you used the white one to see if you needed the other red one. The sears catalog went pretty quick in those days.
I think the bus is a double decker today. I hope things improve.
Oh man chet your video is already 18 days behind. Getting like being able to get parts almost a month or more out 😉😂
Back in planting season you couldn't catch a break with rain, now that the crops are up you can't get rain.
Thanks, the droneview was excellent. Did a fast job with that track. Love.
My “Struggle Bus” was last Wednesday, topped of by the wiring on a tractor catching on fire. Fortunately the fire extinguisher was at hand and operable. Now dealer is, “Waiting for parts!,
Binder twine and bailer wire. Took me a week to get small o ring for oil pan in my cruze at 11$. Thank you farmers!
Always enjoy any drone action, Chet you are the bomb with camera placement from land level to drone level.
Thank you Larson family for another great video, with a lot of challenges that shows how hard life is in the farm
There is something really great about all of you. Challenge after challenge, and yet, smiles and "ya gotta do what ya gotta do" (maybe it's good editing ...) But irrespective, you guys are awesome. I would go so far as to say you are "spiritually in tune," that the Great Spirit of Goodness recognizes the genuineness of your character.
@@MrHurricaneFloyd haha, it’s you again. Still saying random things about people you will never meet. Doug is the kindest person I know. The entire family is great. They will do anything for you in your time if need.
