Very interesting video on how a well is drilled for your irrigation pivots. Hard work is why that corn silo is filled to the brim. Americas backbone is the way it is because of hardworking farmers like Laura and Grant and your families. The snow on the ground looks great. Stay warm and best wishes. 👍😊
This is not drilling a well. This is replacing the water pump and pipe inside the well casing. If a well was being drilled you would see mud, water, and mess running all over the ground as the hole is drilled. Think of drilling a hole in wood, wood chips everywhere.
Laura and Grant please please please always take your time on that bin ladder. Always make sure when going up or down that first step on to the ladder is slow and steady.....sure footed!!!!!
I am a retired microwave technician from AT&T and have gone through pole, ladder and tower climbing classes. Just a hint and you might want to try this when you climb a ladder. When climbing a ladder, for safety reasons, you should always maintain three points on the ladder. When climbing hand over hand, a lot of people will wind up having only one hand and one foot contacting the ladder at a time. If you only have two points on the ladder at a time, if your foot slips you will most likely fall, because your one hand will not be able to hold your weight. We are taught to have our hands on the outside of the vertical rails, with our grip holding onto the backside of the rails. This way we slide our hands up the rails, always maintaining contact with the ladder with both our hands. As we come to where the rails are attached to the tower or in your case the silo, we maintain our feet on the rungs they are on, as we move each hand around the attachment. Personally after finishing climbing school, I found I could climb the ladders much faster, by using the hand sliding on the back of the rail than using the hand over hand on the rungs as I use to.
Hey Laura, love the content as always. Fun fact, I probably built that pump for you! I work at FLOWSERVE/Western land roller here in Hastings and that’s what I build!
When we have our pivot wells drilled here in South Georgia, we always find seashells and fossils that are blown out when they reach the desired depth and force air into it to clear the line. Crazy part is the nearest ocean to our farm is at least 150 miles away.
Geez Laura! You just scooted up and down that very high ladder like it’s no big deal! I was afraid just imagining how high it was! Thanks for the education on replacing the pipe workings on that pivot well. Very cool!
Laura, I watched your video again where you were talking about how you spent $1 million on your operation. You said some really wonderful things by the way I live in southeastern Minnesota. FYI and I want you to know how proud I am of you we do not know each other, but I do watch your videos you are loved and cherished by your viewers.
Hey, I've been enjoying watching you vlog. When you were climbing the ladder on the grain bin, I was thinking of something simple to keep you safer while climbing. If you put traction tape, lime is on the surface of skateboards, it will lessen the risk if slips.
Interesting, I don't know what the cost for digging a well in Nebraska is but here in Alabama it is not cheap. And I once worked for a popcorn company & Occasionally I had to climb the grain bin ladders to change the belts on the augur motors , and I am not cut out for high places. I remember the first time I climbed the tallest one we had, about halfway up I made the mistake of looking down. I swear I felt my strength leaving my body. And we didn't have the guards around the ladders, but I closed my eyes and bear hugged the ladder until I got myself composed ,sorta but I kept my eyes closed tightly and slowly started back downward until I felt the ground. And said Thank you lord. Love you guys
Nice to have that shallow a well, your pumping costs are much less $$$$ wise and power wise to irrigate. Our well is 560 feet, static water level is 230 feet and the 150 hp electric motor “loves” electricity.
I stayed at a residence in high elevations east of Phoenix. They get well water and told me they had to drill very deeply because of the high elevation, to get to the water. They also have generators for the well that they enable when water is needed, which isn't always. Further, they have solar power. Very nice fairly self sufficient residence in an area with usually low rainfall.
When I built my house in Michigan in 1991, we didn't have city water, so we had to drill a well. We went 96 feet deep. Around 2000, they brought city water out, so I tapped into that. With the well, I put on an irrigation system to water about 1 acre around the house. As time went on, the water system was expanded to most of the township, and there weren't a lot of wells remaining. So, farmers were allowed to start drilling to irrigate their fields. They drilled far deeper than my well, so, if we get into drought conditions, after a while, the water table is lower than my well, so my sprinklers don't work!!! Could spend the money to go deeper, but not really worth it.
Each stage of the pump has an impeller. First stage sets the rate in gallons or barrels per minute and produces X amount of pressure. Subsequent stages boost the pressure. The depth of the well determines the number of stages required to lift the water to the surface and have a given pressure to operate the system. Impeller diamater, RPM and HP also come into play. It is graphed on a curve in feet of head pressure.
I used to take care of our depressurization wells in the mine I worked at. They ran from 200' - 320' deep. We used 20' lengths of 4" threaded stainless steel riser pipes with a threaded coupler on the top of each joint. There was no smaller pipe on the inside like yours as our pumps were self contained with only an electrical cable running down to it on the outside of the riser pipes. We used stainless due to corrosion from H2S in the water. The pumps were Grundfos 50-75 HP submersible pumps. They ran 24 hours a day, 365 days a year until the pump wore out or the area it was installed was mined out.
So timely. I had to replace the submersible pump in the well my house runs on last week but the casing was fine. It's a 6" casing 400 feet deep. We borescoped the well while we had the pump out and the water table is at 300' with the pump submerged at 360". It's only a 1.5 HP pump and it just cools and lubes itself with water. I didn't think about the fact that a big pivot pump might need an oil line so, once again, I learned something at Laura Farms!
Very interesting video. Always hold onto ladder rungs and aim for three points of contact when using a ladder. Ideally ladders should have landings to break really high climbs together with appropriate safety cages. Remember most people only fall once from a ladder and the result is either serious injury or something worse. Love your videos and want to see more of you and Grant. Take care. ❤❤
Can you show more detail on how you are powering the center pivot with a generator ran off of the irrigation engine? What generator are you using and how does that compare cost wise to using electricity from the power company? Great videos! Keep the details coming.
We put in a well in '90. 285 ft. deep with the pump at 190 ft. Had to pull it 3 yrs ago for a burned out pump. The only corrosion wad at the rise and fall of the water table. 30 ft. The rest of the pipe was pristine galvanized. I don't understand why it doesn't clog the pump with sand over that time. But I'm glad it didn't.
Thanks Laura & Grant , our well was 1500 ft growing up on our ranch in South Dakota ,Black Hills . My Dads best friend from North Platte we would visit
Just FYI- In any type of well, the "Casing" is the outermost pipe inside of the well bore and can even be cemented into place (which probably is a procedure mostly relegated to the oilfield) . The "TUBING" is the pipe attached to the pump housing through which water/oil is lifted to the surface. Tubing is easily replaced. Casing can be replaced but is difficult, and, if your water well has PVC casing, It should never even need be replaced. Unlike the tubing, the casing is never under pressure. It is only there to prevent the well bore from caving in. That said- I don't think that they replaced any casing. Only the pump and the tubing. I wish that we were replacing our turbine pumps like this. We have 2 great wells, but dad prefers submersibles. They probably make like amounts of water as your turbine pump, but we are reliant on electricity. With drought conditions so bad this year, some of our cows ate the electric power supply wire going to the submersible :'D COPPER AND ALL! My girls wouldn't do that. I think dad is raising Giant goats.
Well said about it being pipe and not casing. At 2:54 you can see down the hole and see the casing. She works with pumps all the time and should know better.
I knew the pivot well goes down a long way, it is good that you don't have to replace it all that often. Good to see you keeping grain back for when the price is right. Love to you both from Mike. ❤
Wells have many depths. 12 and 20 feet is not unusual for a small residential well,, years ago and even today.. 100 feet is still no big deal. The well here in Arizona for the nursery is 900 feet deep with a submersible pump at the bottom. Half a million dollars to drill and equip.
You two are so funny and Goofy in your own way that's pretty cool a silo full of corn never seen that either in my lifetime we love you guys thank you for also continuing to put your lives out here on TH-cam we love you so much blessings from Martinsville Indiana
The Well Casing & Screen is what is permanently fixed in the ground. What you are actually pulling is the Pumping Equipment, which includes the Pump, Column Pipe, Tube & Shaft, Discharge Head. You DON'T actually pull the Well, you pull out the Pumping Equipment. The pipe that they installed is the Column Pipe NOT the Casing.
When we did the well test, when we were purchasing, the pump was not pumping enough, the owner pulled it and the well lining collapsed. So the owner was not stuck with property with no water. So they had to drill the well out. It was 875' deep. Our neighbor had a well was about 500 feet away and it was only 150' deep. The geology in our area is really messy being young and highly volcanic. Some wells are shallow, some are deeper than deep.
thats really cooll thanks for sharing the well pump that you showed with the impeler is the same type pump blades used in fire engine , fire tankers or tendors. Have a great week keep warm see you in the next vido
i have a question... you pump it directly from the ground and spray it over the plants or you have some kind of water storage? isn't the water too cold to spray it directly out of the well?
Thanks, a very interesting story!! You 2 are a great team for many of " Life's Olympics "...challenges!! Good to see a reserve,in your back pocket!! (Corn in the bin)... all in all a good time on our visit!! Many thanks!! 👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
I'm trailer park trash in Missouri. Well that feeds the park is down to the second aquifer, almost 600'. Pump died a couple years ago, took a full day to replace it..
The water "drilling" rig reminds me of some of the oil exploration kit in "Ice Road Truckers" season 2. If you have time, maybe check it out and see what you think?
There goes a couple bushels of corn out of that bin to pay for pivot work. lol Grant, your wife said it's winter time so it might be time for a winter cap. ha ha
A water well is as deep as necessary to get the amount of water flow required. In some areas that may be 50 feet and in other areas it may be 1000 feet. When a driller gives you an estimate to drill a well, they look at the records to see how deep other wells in the immediate area are.
Im halfway around the world and what a channel to watch. Just one thing and i dont wane put a damper on anything but look at your vid and especially the sky in the background and do some homework. Don't know if you know this but that's not good news for farmers. The next time you see a plains fly overhead look at what they leave behind !!! Plain don't leave clouds like that behind. Just something ive been looking at couse we get them her aswell plz Thanks for a grate channel
You know, I remember the worry about wheat silos and the dangers of dust explosions, but in Minnesota, the big concern was grain thieves stealing from remote silos. I guess, with modern surveillance systems, that's no longer as great an issue? Or folks stealing the diesel out of remote tanks? My godfather also raised turkeys and I remember the protocols, you had sets of clothes at every turkey barn, you showered, changed clothes, went in the barn, showered on the way out and changed clothes to "outside" clothes again and you did this at every barn because a bird sickness could take out all the barns if you didn't do that. I also remember that you couldn't let domestic turkeys out in the rain, because they would look up to see what was hitting them in the head and drown or get pneumonia, letting them out in snow, they would just sit down and freeze, so you had to be careful when they had to go out so you could clean the barns, or that there were these huge disks that made a round pyramids in the barns because when there was thunder, the turkeys would try to pile up on themselves to feel safe, and the disks were there so the turkeys could feel safe, but not actually stand on each other and crush themselves. People that think farming isn't hard or doesn't require intelligence need to watch your channel and see the hurdles, catastrophes that have to be overcome, the hard work it involves. Keep them video's rolling out. People just don't realize how much work you do to get a bushel of corn you sell for $5-$10, yet the big food companies sell it to us for 50 cents a cup, so the mark-up is like farmers sell for $10, we buy at stores for $80. (Bussel from farmer $10, one cup per can of corn at store 50 cents, 160 cups per Bussel) It would be nice if the Federal Gov followed what Burnie Sanders wanted to do, where the US makes pot legal, but only small farmers can grow it, and only every four years. Besides taking away the cartel's money, the weed would be checked by the FDA so it would be safer, and farmers could sell the weed plant leaves and stems for hemp. Only real reason it hasn't happened is the cotton lobby is against the competition.
Hi It’s Tim Rhoads from East Petersburg, Penna. Just wanted to say I love your videos. Wish I was close enough to spend a day with you guys. Love it 😊👍🏻♥️
What a cool process thanks for talking us through the process
All I can say is WOW. I could never climb up there to check the corn. You 2 blew me away. Great video.

Too much cold, looking beautiful everything's in white snow.

I'm in South georgia myself, and I see the same things when blowing a well out. It's crazy to me
You are doing great kid !! 🙂

Look at the sky chemtrails like hell
Great video Grant and Laura enjoyed seeing you climb up and down the ladder and making sure the lid was locked ❤
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you have a wonderful day.God bless you!!!❤
Laura, I'm with you give me summer all day and everyday.
I'm a city boy living in the big city. Your videos never fail to cheer me up!
City dweller
Wow. love all the stripped clouds in the sky, wonder what that means..
THATS A SILO FULL OF HARD WORK, AND EFFORT ON YOUR PART. THAT HAS TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.
Very interesting video. Always hold onto ladder rungs and aim for three points of contact when using a ladder.

Thanks for a pivotal video.
1st time I ever saw top of a grain silo let alone it being full. Totally different perspective - that's an amazing amount of corn.
Can you show more detail on how you are powering the center pivot with a generator ran off of the irrigation engine? What generator are you using and how does that compare cost wise to using electricity from the power company? Great videos! Keep the details coming.
Our Laura, looking and sounding cute opening the lid to the grain bin with her angels singing voice! So adorable!!! :-)
Look on the sky chemtrails
It was a fun experience and a cool day 😎
freaking me out watching you up so high!!!

Hey Laura I love watching you from Bryer
Great video, Laura Farms! Question from a novice: IF you had found the corn in the bin was rotten, what would be the next steps??

In Nebraska sometimes not very. It can be scary when the ground erupts water.
I love that smile😍😃
Bonjour Laura et Grant super video bon week ened bon courage pour la suite
Love the music during the 'speedy' parts of the vid!
You two are so funny and Goofy in your own way that's pretty cool a silo full of corn never seen that either in my lifetime we love you guys thank you for also continuing to put your lives out here on TH-cam we love you so much blessings from Martinsville Indiana
The casing goes between the dirt and the hole, and it goes in one and done.
Great video Laura and Grant

DS at it again.i see chem trails above your farm.
Awesome video Laura Farms and have a good day Laura.
Magnifique vidéo et le puis et le cilo à mais
Hi Laura and Grant, it doesn't matter how old we are we never quit learning, love all your programs
Another trick in the box of Laura knowledge with pivot well replacement. So next will be pivot installation, looking forward to that video 👍👍👍
good work friends, the scenery is also very beautiful, thank you for sharing a good video, best wishes always
3:44 The Doozers are gonna be furious!!! IYKYK 😉
thank you
Cute little pulling unit, missing working on a rig.
Great explanation of water source. Thank you.
Thanks! Laura, you are just so darn cute!!! You make my day!!! Big fan!!!
You got snow there! LOL!!!!!
i have a question... you pump it directly from the ground and spray it over the plants or you have some kind of water storage? isn't the water too cold to spray it directly out of the well?
Thanks, a very interesting story!! You 2 are a great team for many of " Life's Olympics "...challenges!! Good to see a reserve,in your back pocket!! (Corn in the bin)... all in all a good time on our visit!! Many thanks!!
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
Great video!
Thanks for the informative video
Thanks for sharing Laura!!! I learned how a pivot works watching your video
I'm trailer park trash in Missouri. Well that feeds the park is down to the second aquifer, almost 600'. Pump died a couple years ago, took a full day to replace it..
Farming lessons with Laura :)
I could almost smell that corn myself from my days on my grandparents farm in Iowa
3:45, Ah, the simple pleasurers!
Take care and good luck with your harvest God bless TerryD.
Great video.
Glad to see the snow. Needed for the aquifer.
If You seal the bins, how do the animals find a way in? They can destroy a lot of grain.
The water "drilling" rig reminds me of some of the oil exploration kit in "Ice Road Truckers" season 2. If you have time, maybe check it out and see what you think?
Wow!😱Looks very cool
There goes a couple bushels of corn out of that bin to pay for pivot work. lol Grant, your wife said it's winter time so it might be time for a winter cap. ha ha
Very cool information that’s for that
Those line shaft Wells can also be water cooled without the oil tube a lot of city Wells are oil cooled line shaft wells
Back in the late 70s I worked for a company that is what we did is pulled well pumps and changed them or repaired... a few where pivots
There are a lot of jets flying right over your head. Must be a hub city somewhere up there.
A water well is as deep as necessary to get the amount of water flow required. In some areas that may be 50 feet and in other areas it may be 1000 feet. When a driller gives you an estimate to drill a well, they look at the records to see how deep other wells in the immediate area are.

Thanks!
Where did Grant get his rubber boots those are nice been whining come for a long time I have no idea what to get them
I noticed that the sky about that field looks like an aircraft highway with all of the contrails.

Besides taking away the cartel's money, the weed would be checked by the FDA so it would be safer, and farmers could sell the weed plant leaves and stems for hemp. Only real reason it hasn't happened is the cotton lobby is against the competition.
Look at that sky. Lots of aircraft overhead!
What camera set up are you using here its so clear !
1:38 could you imagine if they drove down the road forgetting to put that thing down? They'd get a whopper of a ticket! 🤣

Interesting clip. Do you ever "stir up" or recirculate the corn in the bins during the winter ?
