Hello from Beaumont California, 2 city slickers here, my wife of 32 years and myself, was cruising the you tube world and was instantly subscribed to Laura's channel, from our point of view watching and learning about farming, very informative. Now she had us cruise over to her Dads channel, and again, a new subscriber here for you also. Lots of entertainment and information, You are truly a Blessed man, Beautiful Family and Life your leading Sir, Many Blessings, The Hoovers, Steve and June Bug
I enjoyed your video and find it quite satisfying. I am retired and handicapped now, but use to be like you living in the woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A different environment for sure. I had a backhoe, built my own log cabin from the tree, built a shop, had many projects and became a degreed electrical engineer, which forced me to live in the stinking city for years. I now live in Florida, have a shop and a Harley. Thanks again.
Yeah love what your family does. I have always loved Nebraska and the history . Read all about the waves of wagon trains and pioneers. Finally stopped at the Arch Monument Museum or what ever it is called and loved it. I'm sure many Irish also made the trip west..... It cannot be any better than to be tuned in with your land and your Creator. love all you do and for Laura and Grant to be starting out on their journey it is simply fascinating to see the progress of man and his mighty machines, God bless you all. It can be windy and hot but is wild and wonderful!!
I honestly never knew their were male and female corn. Learned something new. About the grease gun, my luck I'd have gotten out their to find it empty.
You definitely remind me of my dad! You tell us something and do something else! So please be careful! Your family needs you! ❤️ and you don't want to get hurt.
A politician in New York made a disparaging remark about farmers and that their job was relatively easy. obviously, he didn't have a clue. Thanks for your efforts to feed the nation. Can see where your daughter gets her mojo.
Im not a farmer and know nothing about farming but your videos are always very informative, interesting, and entertaining. Amazed how you keep going all day one job to the next.
I used to work for the Minneapolis Moline dealer in Hampton. Probably was out at that well at some point in the 70's. We had trouble with detasslers braking the gates off dragging their tired butts out of the fields before we had cutters to do that. We had six bus loads of kids out in our fields back then.
Where I come from we call that "character maker" a thumper haha, nice to see the small differences location to location. Nice video! Love the humour too!
It's so funny to see you running, I literally just watched a "laura farms" video from a couple days ago (Aug 10, 2022 destroyer broke down) and she was running from point a, to point b, to point c, etc, and explaining why farmers don't need to go to the gym, and why she drinks so much caffeine. Hilariously ironic timing!! I love y'alls videos! God Bless!!
My son is an engineer on tug boat and said it looks like an very old Caterpillar engine cause of the yellow paint. . Should have a id plate or stamp on it somewhere.
One job always leads to another one. Great advice on having situational awareness. Some jobs are too important to walk away from in the middle of doing them. I have AADD 😆 so it’s hard to stay on one task.
Seriously need to look into getting one of those little lithium ion booster/starters. About the size of two cell phones, but mine's 1,200 amps and will start a flat dead F250. You can get one for about seventy-five bucks on Amazon. Yeah, I know... I was skeptical too, but I was trying to help someone jump start their car at Tractor Supply. Had the dead battery of their little Chevy 4-cylinder hooked up to my GMC Sierra for 15 minutes and was barely getting a slow crank. Some guy on a Harley pulled one of these little boosters out of his saddle bag, hooked it up to that battery, and it spun over at full speed and fired up instantly. I bought two of them that night.
You ever had a process expert spend a week with you and help reduce the amount of time it takes to do some of this - or to automate more of what you have?
You are correct on the post driver building character. Also I found first hand why they paint the top part white, You see that while driving a post means you messed up. Stitches to the top of the head was the end result.
Is it a 283 MM? I liked the 605 and HD800s. Nice slow running engines. We always took the gaskets for the pipe in during the winters, they lasted a lot longer and was able to clean the gravel and sand that would settle in them.
I come from Iran. I remember many years ago my Father was in a world trip and when he got to America he had 2-3 things to say about America. First of all He LOVED, I MEAN LOVED AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. Secondly he spoke about how big the American wallnuts and other nuts they are Compare to Persia. Persian's are fruit ad vegetable eaters compare to other nations we consume lots and lots of it. But slowly all that Good thing about America(food stof) are gone. American Rise is at the buttom quvality. Pestash nuts which Persia is one of the biggest producent off ( or were ) is today something that looks like Pestash but tast like ( I dont know what ) ( genetically modified !!!? ) Dont get me wrong. This is my opinion I maybe wrong, I love America and American people. I just believe that Americans just like Persians let them selfs be cheated........... ( sry my english) ...:) Good luck with your Beautiful family and your farm and lots and lots of GOOD fortune for you and all of your Love ones. Love watching your Vide's :)
Here from Laura Farms! Your daughter is awesome, great job dad!! Questions -What did you see when you purged the line on the forklift by pressing the hose end on the metal bracket? I've never seen anyone do this. You released the pressure in the hose that runs to the engine.
I believe he was checking if liquid or vapor would come out . If vapor comes out that means the tank was empty and putting only vapor into the engine. The engine has to have liquid in order to run.
NNow I don't feel so alone when I'm working around the house and everything takes longer than I think it should and I have to run around to get my things to do the job.
Like your videos. Just wondering how you couldn't tell if the first propane tank was full or empty? Watched you pick up the supposedly filled tank and thought you are exceptionally strong or the tank was near empty. It was empty. By the way you lifted the second tank it had some propane.
Why are crops still planted in rows when there are pivots? Can’t you spiral outwards in one continuous run? Maybe you need access in/out of every row (harder to do maybe with a spiral?)
How do you keep all your equipment and metal from being stolen at remote sites? Here in Kentucky, the meth heads will steal all the equipment, fuel, batteries (for making meth), metal and piping (for scraping) and anything else worth a dime would be gone!

I must be missing something. You have several rows of taller female corn stalks and then one single row of the shorter male corn stalks. When you planted the seeds in yhe spring....how did you know the difference between male and female?
I don't farm seed plants, but as far as I'm aware the female plants get de-tasselled so only the pollen from the male plants will pollinate the field. Edit: To be clear there is no actual gender to the seeds themselves, they're just two different types of corn
Job for today; lay out pipe, we had to fix the pump first, now we have to unload the old pump but now we have to fill propane and I am only at 8:30 sounds like infinite regression. The job is X but we can't do job X because job A has to be done first and job A can't be done because jobs B and C are not finished yet so job X never gets done! sounds familiar to our place.... lets see what happens.....

I could watch you do this stuff all day for sure. A life missed.

Your daughter is a Master of the jumper cables! Give her a big Kiss!💋
Those flood nozzles look like a lot of work. I have a used set of left hand clubs in my garage in Maryland if you need them. 🤣
I honestly never knew their were male and female corn. Learned something new. About the grease gun, my luck I'd have gotten out their to find it empty.
After looking at your high energy and multi-tasking efforts, I went from couch red to blueass fly in no time at all...Thank you.
You definitely remind me of my dad! You tell us something and do something else! So please be careful! Your family needs you! ❤️ and you don't want to get hurt.
Howdy from Texas. Love watching you and Laura. It’s great to see how you’re passing farming and raising livestock down to the next generation..
Watching you and LF from the start, a bit behind! Fun video ;)
I have never seen gravity irrigation and it is cool to see how y'all set it up and fixed things.
Maybe a good idea to paint all the PTO 's with spiral white lines - like a barber pole - so you can see them turning since they are not covered.
When you yelled Tank!! Im was in tears! 😂😂😂😂😂...i love it when you say dont leave the tank, but then you do lol.
Man, I've learn so much about farming from you guys. It's great. Many thanks. I never knew. Thanks for sharing, very educational!!!!
HI! And now we know who your daughter takes after! 😉👍❤😍
That’s a nice 403 Minneapolis Moline power unit. 4 5/8 x 6. Will outlast any new engine pumping water.
Awesome video update today, Today I'm painting on the porch, good weather here, since we had that storm the other day.
Nothing like drinking fresh water from the drip line. God I miss those times!
Much respect for farmers, keep up the good work!
A politician in New York made a disparaging remark about farmers and that their job was relatively easy. obviously, he didn't have a clue. Thanks for your efforts to feed the nation. Can see where your daughter gets her mojo.

Laura Farms sent me....Good job.

I love y'alls videos! God Bless!!
One just does never ever walk away from the tank! :) Loved the video, loved the small jokes, love your and your daughter's channel!
I am learning so much from you and Laura.
You are so funny I could watch your videos for hours
My son is an engineer on tug boat and said it looks like an very old Caterpillar engine cause of the yellow paint. . Should have a id plate or stamp on it somewhere.
That’s right let the boss fill it, someone must of known it was low...😉😊
One job always leads to another one. Great advice on having situational awareness. Some jobs are too important to walk away from in the middle of doing them. I have AADD 😆 so it’s hard to stay on one task.
24:57 LOL, I always do that whenever I have a plugged up spray nozzle but never saw anyone else do that before , I thought I was being creative
Wish that we used metal posts in the UK as I would love a light weight post hammer like that
You need to get a pump for filling your propane tanks so you don't have to vent fill , it is a lot safer
Seriously need to look into getting one of those little lithium ion booster/starters. About the size of two cell phones, but mine's 1,200 amps and will start a flat dead F250. You can get one for about seventy-five bucks on Amazon.

How about lifepo4 starter batteries though? last forever in cycles and don't die even if let to go little under voltage..
Minni Moline .Don't see many of them any more but were a great engine in there day. We use Allis Chalmers .
You brought it back to life, but it will kill itself.....if you don't grease it. Always carry protection (grease gun and spare tubes.)
You ever had a process expert spend a week with you and help reduce the amount of time it takes to do some of this - or to automate more of what you have?
You are correct on the post driver building character. Also I found first hand why they paint the top part white, You see that while driving a post means you messed up. Stitches to the top of the head was the end result.
You need a pump on there so it will fill a lot faster!
Its always so Great watching a guy work that knows what the freak hes doin !!!!!!👍👍👍
Is it a 283 MM? I liked the 605 and HD800s. Nice slow running engines. We always took the gaskets for the pipe in during the winters, they lasted a lot longer and was able to clean the gravel and sand that would settle in them.
Great job Dad👍👍.

Good to see you’re back making videos.
Cat 3204???
Just started watching and yes i start with the oldest first, I have been through all of Laura's and she is a GREAT person.
Nice refill station!
I absolutely love this! If you and I work together we'd never get anything done!
Makes me feel like Im working a union job to gaze on whilst you're doing all the back breaking work :) Keep up the good work!
Dont kid youself....not all the self employed are the epitome of hard work and good ethics..
Show!!!👍👍👍✌✌✌👏👏👏

both you and grant need a few spare batteries as you keep rotating the ones you have
NNow I don't feel so alone when I'm working around the house and everything takes longer than I think it should and I have to run around to get my things to do the job.
You forgot to yell Four!😉👍❤🌾🚜🌽
Good Swing!!! Golf course on the Carlson farm?
Like your videos. Just wondering how you couldn't tell if the first propane tank was full or empty? Watched you pick up the supposedly filled tank and thought you are exceptionally strong or the tank was near empty. It was empty. By the way you lifted the second tank it had some propane.
Post driver.... is that made by shake weight? About time they upped their game
The old engine is a Minneapolis Moline.
Hi, You said "This engines off! I don't know why?" Do you get information from any sensors for engines, pipes, flow rates etc? Thanks Mark, UK.
Playing catch up on your videos......did not read the comments but that yellow motor looks like an old cat motor, maybe from an old dozer or grader?
Do you have to report how much water you pump out of ground an get charged for it.
The first propane tank run 😂😂😂😂😂
Here's what I learned from this video... Never walk away.
Is the increase in yield really that significant to make all the cost of the irrigation worth it? Especially with all the breakdowns?
Yes
Why are crops still planted in rows when there are pivots? Can’t you spiral outwards in one continuous run? Maybe you need access in/out of every row (harder to do maybe with a spiral?)
Looks like a Minneapolis Moline by the looks of it. Not sure on the model though.
How do you keep all your equipment and metal from being stolen at remote sites? Here in Kentucky, the meth heads will steal all the equipment, fuel, batteries (for making meth), metal and piping (for scraping) and anything else worth a dime would be gone!
A red combine? I thought you would have a John Deere combine to match the rest of the equipment
Your farm must be worth millions, how did you start?
I sure hope you are looking after your health Mr. Blueass Fly. :)
You said never walk away from filling your propane tanks multiple times, but, you walked away while saying it?
What are those tags on the corn? I'm sure you've said but I missed it.
forget it - got to the end and saw it - good stuff!

Hola amiga. 😀
Improvise, adapt and overcome...were you in the Marine Corps?
I must be missing something. You have several rows of taller female corn stalks and then one single row of the shorter male corn stalks.

Edit: To be clear there is no actual gender to the seeds themselves, they're just two different types of corn
One male for four females......Hmmmmmmm
I do believe that ole irritation engine is a Minnie mo
Caterpillar diesel?
Best farmer ever ❤

Swapped more propane tanks in my life, than I even want to think about.
A little bit of grandma's goose grease and those forks would move a bit easier... ;o)
32:35 Have another drink of Golf Tea and try that again!
Looks like the motor from a U Minneapolis
Engine is from an old Minneapolis. Same as they used in a U model
Maybe
Thats a 403 Minnie Moe !! Lol
old engine name = damn bro what the tuck is that? someone made that bro. 'Woah'
What is the drip oil for
To lubricate the bearings on the shaft
Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
What is the Drip Oil for? What would happen if it ran out while you were away from the farm?
Lubricating the bearings on the shaft
6:58 When your day ain't done and want to ride on....propane.
Cummings 4 cyl ?
Good ole Moline
The engine is a four cylinder Caterpillar .
Never walk away
I think someone needs a new electric toy!
Farmer Tiger ⛳
#never walk away! Hhahahaha
