And Grant did not come over to help you on your farm today. I am not surprised that you accomplished a very stressful management day. Crisis averted; hired the neighbor to finish the work; and tended to the pivots. Great natural farmer you are Laura.
Your father is most fortunate to have such a capable, clear-headed daughter to manage the farm while he is away! My uncle, a dairy farmer, never had that advantage.
So awesome to see the next generation taking the lead. All the workers and helpers looking to you for directions is explanation enough to see how much everyone trusts your leadership on your business.
Continue to Not panic when under stress. You’re blessed to have neighbors willing to assist when you have equipment problems. Just shows Farmers have each other’s back
Sometimes you have to be put in the position to lead to realize that you have the knowledge and ability to make the tough decisions and get everything completed. You did an amazing job in a stressful situation! Never doubt yourself!
God bless America's farmers. You take all of Laura's issues and multiply those across all the farms in our nation. Man! Hardest working folks in the country!
A testament to your father’s ability to teach and mentor the next generation, and his father before him. And you, being the perfect example of a “student” who is willing and wanting to learn, then demonstrating your abilities and knowledge through hard work and success. Job well done! The future is bright.
Laura you experience reminds me of an old proverb. "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." You have had the opportunity to understand. Congratulations!
You go girl!!! You are truly a good problem solver. Days like that on the farm are a strong testament to the upbringing that you received from your elders. I feel that being raised on a farm gives one a real appreciation for a lot of different values. A lot of people today are clueless as to what it takes to do what you do. And how you can plan your day but yet be able to go with the flow and still get the job done 👍
I started work again for the farmer I've been working for during potato harvest for the past 8 years. I am moving equipment around on a 4 axle lowboy. Today I moved a sweeper from one of their construction sites over to the home place so they can start getting ready to do pavement around the offices. Then I hauled a vibrating roller over to one of the storages so they can roll the inside of the storage to flatten it out before they start putting potatoes in it.
Laura, you are amazing. A big complement from your dad to leave you in charge of everything. He needed to go on this trip, and you allowed him to go knowing the farm was in safe hands. And for somebody to get a pivot working by just thinking about it, takes some doing. This is why we love watching you, Laura. ❤
I live in Illinois huge corn state. I'm not a farmer. But I'm surrounded by corn and soybean. What you farmers do out there is amazing and much appreciated. Thank you so much.
You are a real inspiration and role model. Having my daughter's watch this episode and your channel. You cover so so many important areas of leadership, growth, and life perspective all while sharing your daily challenges and teaching us about life in the agriculture industry. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
AWESOME! It is really great to see you as BOSS on the farm, including all the problem solving (which is likely the biggest and hardest part of farming!) I remember the first videos a few years ago.... young Laura exploring the farm .... Now she is handling it 👍
Everyday is a school day no matter your age there's always something to learn but no matter the teacher or the student at some point you have to take off the training wheels and ride because if not you will never grow beyond your current self and I for one am happy to be here for these moments of your growth
Your release of some self confidence reminds me of my journey. As a privation the Army you start out having people telling you which foot should be hitting the ground. You keep at it and one day without you knowing it people are coming to you for advice and actual help. Self esteem can't be given to you. It's so uplifting to see it growing in someone else. Peace.
Laura, I knew that you could handle it, you are an extremely intelligent woman and have shown in the past what you are capable of doing. The only way to know how you handle complex task is to do them and most of the time you surprise yourself and everyone else. Awesome job.
Congratulations Laura. A much-deserved pat on the back and showering of positive accolades. You took on the challenges and came out on top. You should feel extremely proud of a very successful day. Great Job! I know your dad has to be extremely proud of you!
Your dad has taught you all the correct things so I have every confidence in you and your ability to handle all of these problems. Also when you are towing with anything but especially when you’re towing with chains which can break unexpectedly put a coat or blanket on the chain so if it breaks they will help make the chain fall to the ground rather than flying through the air.
This was a transitional day for you definitely. Sort of a rite of passage. It made you realize that you have the focus of a manager, able to keep in front of you only the items that need attention now. The less important will receive attention when the time is right. And it is a GREAT feeling when you know that you have made it happen!
Laura first off what happened is not your fault. I have had engines blowup with little or no warning. Second, I am super impressed with your ability and confidence. You got this girl so not to worry.
Well done - Taking charge and organizing what needed to get done. Your dad has done a great job mentoring you and giving you the confidence to lead and problem solve. He must be very proud of you.
Laura, for future reference, when someone says they are in charge, they usually are not in charge. In most situations when multiple people are responsible for the outcome, rarely is the person who claims they are in charge, are the ones doing the most to help fix the situation. But You did the best, let those with thee most experience do their jobs and know when to stay out of their way. Kudos to You!!!!!!
You got the skills Laura, this was a good confidence builder for you. You have a excellent teacher team, your dad, your grandpa, Grant, and your neighbors. There is nothing wrong with running your ideas or your plan to accomplish any task by someone to get their input. That is how you learn when someone tells you that is how they would do it or suggest just one little change. And it is how you earn respect in your industry. I’ve been in the aviation maintenance and inspection industry for fifty years and have employed many newly FAA CERTIFICATED MECHANICS and told each of them basically the same advice. Your doing great.👌👌👌👍👍👍. 😎
Congrats, Laura; there's nothing cooler than the day that you realize you know a helluva lot more than what you gave yourself credit for; when you're put in charge of solving a problem, and you end up surprising yourself. As a non-farmer, it never fails to amaze me how much a young farmer knows about... everything. Also, kudos to the neighbor for helping you out.
We really appreciate the fact that even though you've got so much going on that you're still willing to film everything for us. God bless you, Grant, and your entire family. We love you all.
Way to go Laura! Take this experience and build on it. That is a big duh but it can not be said enough to just do it, own it and when you hit a bump, instead of getting nervous, get excited for the challenge of not knowing. It's an opportunity to learn and to grow. Even if it doesn't work out and you have to try again, that isn't a failure, it's a learning experience. Again, way to go Laura!
Great job, Laura. When I was 14, (I am a "city" boy), I was working on my uncles farm in the panhandle of Texas, "knifing" cotton plants . All of a sudden, my tractor started losing power and started making a TERRIBLE noise. In short, the oil pump had stopped working and the entire engine had to be rebuilt. I FELT TERRIBLE. I am guessing that is what happened to your machine. DO NOT FEEL BAD, it was NOT your fault. It is a machine and these things happen. Finally, please know that your viewing public is in awe of what you do hence your confidence should be off the charts! You are the BEST. I know your dad and your husband are proud of you, so are we. God Bless You. Keep up the good work and don't sweat the small stuff. And ALL THE STUFF IS SMALL!
Talk about leaving equipment on the field ... About 50 years ago, as a teenager, I was mowing hay with a single mowing bar on a neighbor's farm. Everything was going fine until it wasn't as the saying goes. Suddenly, the mowing bar hung up and just stopped. I stopped the tractor and lifted the bar. At the end of the bar was a skunk that was not at all happy. Yep, I quickly abandoned that tractor, at least for awhile, until the skunk settled down. I wasn't about to get clobbered at point blank range.
It's great your dad can get away when he needs to, knowing he has you to watch over things and take care of it. Good job. Keep up the good work and great videos. Tell Grant we say Hi. From NW Arkansas, have a great day.
As a Dad who has raised daughters I am quite proud of you as your Dad is. You worked thru the problem and got the job done. It sucked seeing the corn you had to destroy but I knew that was probably coming in the last video. Keep up the good work young lady
Hey Laura, one thing I really love about you is your commonsense skills, most people would not have stood in a safe place in case the chains break. Your dad would not have left you in charge if he didn't have confidence knowing you could handle it. Best regards!
I remember my dad giving me responsibilities on our hill farm in the Welsh mountains in the UK… NOTHING like the scale of yours… and it was before mobile phones were even thought of. It was pretty scary, but what I realised was if he didn’t think I could do it, he wouldn’t have left me to do it. I’m certain your dad has that confidence in you, and you’re clearly showing you have all the knowledge, intuition, skills and dedication you need. And you find time to document it for us always with a smile. You are a force of nature and I love watching your channel, and look forward to those thumbnails popping up. Keep up the great work…and I’m learning lots too…at 53 years old! Thank you.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, But chains and whips... 😱😂 On a less smartass note, your dad left you in charge because he knows you are a very capable farmer and the farm is in safe hand's 👍
Isnt it great when we realize what we are capable of doing when we at first didn’t know that we were capable of doing what we were tasked with. To me, thats the greatest thing for you this day.
This channel has given me the utmost RESPECT for farmers and what they do. The blood, sweat, tears and love that you put into your crop fields is awe inspiring.
Even though you're paying your neighbor for help, it is nice that he came over quickly to get started. Neighbors helping neighbors is always the best way.
Seeing how dejected your dad was when the destroyer broke and the near panic he was feeling was hard. Seeing how you stepped up and that I o care of things so he could go was great. I know he is proud of you and you should be proud 🥹 f yourself. Stay Gold
I’m in awe on so many aspects! The wide open green spaces, watering process and mostly the skill and knowledge to make it all work! Big hats off to you and your team! I grew up on Long Island and you can’t look for 50 feet without encountering building, poles, etc. Keep up the lifestyle and thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
It's a life lesson learnt maintenance is key. All that off season should be checking vehicles.That's why it's good to keep good neighbour relations help each other out.
I admire what you guys do Laura!! That said, you're gonna be farming for a long time....What I learned during my 42 year career running heavy equipment in freeway traffic every hour of the day and night is that you do not sacrifice your health and well being for what you're trying to accomplish!! EVER!! It will come back to haunt you!! I understand you have goals and deadlines to meet and I am not saying to disregard them at all. What I am saying is that you need to take care of yourself always or you aren't gonna be available to meet those deadlines and other things will happen that you don't want to happen.....your husband needs you, your family needs you, your farms need you and America needs you!! So please take heed young'un!! 😉 ...oh yeah...great videos!! Keep'em comin'!! Oh yeah...and sunscreen girl!! SUNSCREEN!! 😁
Laura, your Dad has the utmost confidence in you! Your handling of everything today just proves your capabilities! Confidence comes with experience and time, but you go get it young lady! You are going to run the place on your own someday! I forgot, you and Grant!🙂
Laura So proud of you! It is so fun to watch you GROW UP to the SOLID young WOMAN you are! Way to get it done. Gosh from the first episode to now......You got the skills now woman.
Way to go, boss lady! Glad you took care of the stranded machinery, and the irrigation. You're someone your dad can count on for excellent work. I/m sure he wouldn't leave you in charge unless he had great confidence in you. And thank goodness for excellent neighbors willing to help. And Happy Birthday in advance to Grant. Hope the celebratory dinner went well.
Very interesting and enjoyable video to watch. I've been watching LEAAD Farm videos so I kind of had a preview of this, but glad to see the details from your perspective. Your dad left the farm in very capable hands and its great that he was able to participate in your siblings college visits. It's unfortunate about the sprayer problems but that's farming, and we all need to appreciate the effort and challenges that farmers face, and not take our food and fiber for granted.
i always told my apprentice's "come up with 3 ways to fix the problem before you even start, pick the best of the 3 and start there, and the 3rd idea can be off the wall and/or crazy sounding" you would be amazed at how many times some part of the "3rd" idea ends up incorporated into the fix. don't give up and keep on truck'en that's the secret. Great Vid!!
And Grant did not come over to help you on your farm today. I am not surprised that you accomplished a very stressful management day. Crisis averted; hired the neighbor to finish the work; and tended to the pivots. Great natural farmer you are Laura.
This is the best documented day in the life of a large scale open field farmer I've seen maybe ever. Thanks.
Defo agreed but i could be the best videography of tractors.
As a dad myself, I know yours is overwhelmed with pride in you today. One of your best videos ever!
I second that
Your father is most fortunate to have such a capable, clear-headed daughter to manage the farm while he is away! My uncle, a dairy farmer, never had that advantage.
So awesome to see the next generation taking the lead. All the workers and helpers looking to you for directions is explanation enough to see how much everyone trusts your leadership on your business.
Continue to Not panic when under stress. You’re blessed to have neighbors willing to assist when you have equipment problems. Just shows Farmers have each other’s back
Sometimes you have to be put in the position to lead to realize that you have the knowledge and ability to make the tough decisions and get everything completed. You did an amazing job in a stressful situation! Never doubt yourself!
my dad (who was an upper level manager for decades) once told me that being a leader is easy, you just have to tell others what to do
Excellent video ..gr8 job..enjoy all the videos but this was the best..
God bless America's farmers. You take all of Laura's issues and multiply those across all the farms in our nation. Man! Hardest working folks in the country!
A testament to your father’s ability to teach and mentor the next generation, and his father before him. And you, being the perfect example of a “student” who is willing and wanting to learn, then demonstrating your abilities and knowledge through hard work and success. Job well done! The future is bright.
Proud of you, girl! This is invaluable prep for your future when you'll be running the place! Thank goodness for neighbors who pitch in and help us!
Laura you experience reminds me of an old proverb. "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." You have had the opportunity to understand. Congratulations!
You go girl!!!
You are truly a good problem solver.
Days like that on the farm are a

Hello from Jamaica love your energy 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Laura in charge! I never doubted for a minute. Well done! Papa Cale knows what he's doing.
That was like watching a Thriller movie on TV. Lots of tension, suspense, and action, except its real life. Way to go Laura!
Laura, you are amazing. A big complement from your dad to leave you in charge of everything. He needed to go on this trip, and you allowed him to go knowing the farm was in safe hands. And for somebody to get a pivot working by just thinking about it, takes some doing.
This is why we love watching you, Laura. ❤
The Force is strong with this one!!
I live in Illinois huge corn state. I'm not a farmer. But I'm surrounded by corn and soybean. What you farmers do out there is amazing and much appreciated. Thank you so much.
Your Dad will be proud, thanks for sharing your days with s city folks

You had One Heck of a Day young Lady. Looking at how calm you were, You were the boss and handled it well
AWESOME! It is really great to see you as BOSS on the farm, including all the problem solving (which is likely the biggest and hardest part of farming!)

Happy Birthday, Grant. Your Wife has got everything under control. You and her Dad and everyone should be very proud of her.
Laura, I knew that you could handle it, you are an extremely intelligent woman and have shown in the past what you are capable of doing. The only way to know how you handle complex task is to do them and most of the time you surprise yourself and everyone else. Awesome job.
Congratulations Laura. A much-deserved pat on the back and showering of positive accolades. You took on the challenges and came out on top. You should feel extremely proud of a very successful day. Great Job! I know your dad has to be extremely proud of you!
No one is ever ready for promotion so well done Laura
Way to go...success builds confidence...happy birthday grant 🎉🥳
Your dad has taught you all the correct things so I have every confidence in you and your ability to handle all of these problems. Also when you are towing with anything but especially when you’re towing with chains which can break unexpectedly put a coat or blanket on the chain so if it breaks they will help make the chain fall to the ground rather than flying through the air.
Laura You Did Very Well Under The Pressure! Well Done !! I knew You Could Do It !! 👏👏👏👏
Keep Smiling On!!
😀👍👊
I think you did fine getting things done, glad to hear it may not be as bad for the sprayer, thanks for sharing your big day
This was a transitional day for you definitely. Sort of a rite of passage.

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Laura, you did GREAT in taking charge and taking care of this. I love your nervousness along with your confidence. Way to go young lady.
You did a wonderful job under pressure. One cannot learn unless they are put in a situation such as what you have gone through. Good Job....
You got the skills Laura, this was a good confidence builder for you. You have a excellent teacher team, your dad, your grandpa, Grant, and your neighbors. There is nothing wrong with running your ideas or your plan to accomplish any task by someone to get their input. That is how you learn when someone tells you that is how they would do it or suggest just one little change. And it is how you earn respect in your industry.

Great job, you've come a long ways Laura in these past couple years.
Congrats, Laura; there's nothing cooler than the day that you realize you know a helluva lot more than what you gave yourself credit for; when you're put in charge of solving a problem, and you end up surprising yourself.
As a non-farmer, it never fails to amaze me how much a young farmer knows about... everything.
Also, kudos to the neighbor for helping you out.
You got it ALL done. Congratulations. Good job!
Laura, never any doubt that you could handle whatever come your way! Great day!
We really appreciate the fact that even though you've got so much going on that you're still willing to film everything for us. God bless you, Grant, and your entire family. We love you all.
God bleed you.

Thanks for sharing what's going on for you, vulnerably. You did great.
Enjoyed today's video. Really showed how a "can do" attitude makes for a satisfying conclusion to a project.
You were Awesome! Your Dad has to be Sooo proud!
Way to go, Laura. Successful day. Never give up, there's always a way!
It's great your dad can get away when he needs to, knowing he has you to watch over things and take care of it. Good job. Keep up the good work and great videos. Tell Grant we say Hi.
From NW Arkansas, have a great day.
Congratulations on the completion of your first BIG day running the farm on your own, there are MANY more to come.
Never doubt your abilities from now on, you most definitely have what it takes, WTG Laura!
As a Dad who has raised daughters I am quite proud of you as your Dad is. You worked thru the problem and got the job done. It sucked seeing the corn you had to destroy but I knew that was probably coming in the last video. Keep up the good work young lady
Good job Laura. Experiences like today become confidence building blocks.
Hey Laura, one thing I really love about you is your commonsense skills, most people would not have stood in a safe place in case the chains break. Your dad would not have left you in charge if he didn't have confidence knowing you could handle it. Best regards!
You did good girl.
You are a boss.
Growing and maturing can be challenging, but it is so satisfying. Keep growing good like you did this day.
Way to go! The day was a huge boost to your self-confidence! You stayed calm and solved problems using your experience and logic.
You Go Girl I Never Had A Doubt !!! You Took Care Of Business!!!
Needing to rely on your own strength5s is a good situation to be in. A reall confidence booster.
THAT FARM IS GOING TO BE YOURS TO OWN/OPERATE, YOU WILL BE THE LEADER... YOU DID FANTASTIC GIRL KEEP IT UP..
You did very well. But it will never end. So, pace yourself through the hard times and keep your eyes always forward.
“It will not turn on”. Made me chuckle.
As always, you came through in the best way possible. You totally rock little lady !
I remember my dad giving me responsibilities on our hill farm in the Welsh mountains in the UK… NOTHING like the scale of yours… and it was before mobile phones were even thought of. It was pretty scary, but what I realised was if he didn’t think I could do it, he wouldn’t have left me to do it.

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But chains and whips... 😱😂
On a less smartass note, your dad left you in charge because he knows you are a very capable farmer and the farm is in safe hand's 👍
@@CreamyNews 😂🤣😂🤣
You did a awesome job and because you had a great teacher keep up the great work Laure.. And happy birthday to grants for his up coming birthday
Isnt it great when we realize what we are capable of doing when we at first didn’t know that we were capable of doing what we were tasked with. To me, thats the greatest thing for you this day.
This channel has given me the utmost RESPECT for farmers and what they do. The blood, sweat, tears and love that you put into your crop fields is awe inspiring.
Way to go and soldier on. You done yourself proud! You have a lot of different balls in the air and you are juggling them very well.
You handled it well! The only way you learn is this way and it does help build your confidence. Best wishes
Even though you're paying your neighbor for help, it is nice that he came over quickly to get started. Neighbors helping neighbors is always the best way.
Love the nail polish. The cleanest hands on a farmer I've ever seen. Meant is a compliment
Grant to the rescue! Where is he? So level headed as a young farmer. You are doing a great job.
Very well done young lady. I don't think anyone watching would have doubted that you would rise above 👍
Seeing how dejected your dad was when the destroyer broke and the near panic he was feeling was hard. Seeing how you stepped up and that I o care of things so he could go was great. I know he is proud of you and you should be proud 🥹 f yourself. Stay Gold
I’m in awe on so many aspects! The wide open green spaces, watering process and mostly the skill and knowledge to make it all work! Big hats off to you and your team!

Bravo on your management of the problem with the sprayer on your own. Excellent job. Glad you have a neighbor who can finish the job for you.
You knew from the start that it would be BIG day and it was but you showed you could handle it. Way to manage things!
Bravo, and well done. Proud of you.
Well done! I know your dad is pleased and proud! Happy Birthday to Grant!
I admire what you guys do Laura!!

Way to go kiddo. It's great to see you step up and take control. 👏 I'm so glad to see a powerful young lady making her daddy proud
Laura So proud of you! It is so fun to watch you GROW UP to the SOLID young WOMAN you are!
Way to get it done. Gosh from the first episode to now......You got the skills now woman.
Laura! Job well Done !! Improvise, overcome, Adapt !!! That's what you did. That's what all successful people do
Way to go, boss lady! Glad you took care of the stranded machinery, and the irrigation. You're someone your dad can count on for excellent work. I/m sure he wouldn't leave you in charge unless he had great confidence in you. And thank goodness for excellent neighbors willing to help. And Happy Birthday in advance to Grant.

Welcome to Farming it is never easy, there is always something to do.

I never had a doubt you are your father's daughter you never know how strong you can be until the time comes
You are so much stronger than you think you are. Love the videos and how you don’t sugar coat anything. God Bless.
Absolutely a success. Well done.
i always told my apprentice's "come up with 3 ways to fix the problem before you even start, pick the best of the 3 and start there, and the 3rd idea can be off the wall and/or crazy sounding" you would be amazed at how many times some part of the "3rd" idea ends up incorporated into the fix. don't give up and keep on truck'en that's the secret.

Just another day when running a farm. You got this, next generation of farmers. 👍
Laura, your father will be very proud of you! Remember if he didn't think you could handle it, he wouldn't have left you in charge! Great job!
