If you still read old comments, thin the fruit out like others have said, but also I use NEEM oil as a natural pesticide weekly on my fruit trees, really helps control the dimples and damage pests can do. Good Luck, and I love your content. I am Binging from the beginning. Four days in so far, I am retired, so I don't have much else to do. I have family in NE with 7K farm, I had no idea. Now I want to go out there and farm. Keep up the great content.
Thank your grandfather for all he did to set up your dad for success. Thank your dad and mom for raising you with a work ethic, making sure you got a great education and continuing the success of your grandfather. Now, you and Grant go repeat it. Circle of life baby!
and thank you #lauraFarms for showing America the backbone of AMERICA.... the family .... well, farmers too LOL
The main thing to do right now for the apple tree is to thin the fruit. To do this, remove apples such that the remaining apples on the tree are 6 to 8 inches apart. We don't want clusters of two and three or more fruit. Cutting the fruit stems minimizes disease. Also remove any apples that are at the very end of the branches and are causing the branches to bend down. I think you can feed the removed apples to cows or other livestock. Just don't leave them on the ground because they attract pests and disease. The trees don't seem to need fertilizer, so don't do that. Make sure they get adequate water. There is more care that will be needed later. I can give you advice if you show us more of the tree.
Finally, the tree is competing for water and nutrients with those weeds under the tree. It would be good to cultivate those weeds and apply mulch out to the canopy drip line.
I am retired. I have seen a lot. Had hard times and I had very good times. Can you imagine that some young and energetic creatures move me? Move me to tears? Laura does.
Only Laura would call a pivot cute. Love her attitude.
Laura, you are the most cheerful farmer I’ve seen! My family on my Moms side have been farmers all my life. But you Laura, smile more than all of my cousins combined!!
Thanks for being Grateful, but we are Very Grateful to you and Grant and all you awesome Farmers! 🚜🇺🇸
When you put the new oil filter on put new oil in it that way the motor is not starved for oil when you start it 👍
I can hear Papa Curt saying " diesel cost money, do hilling right the first time. Youngins." Prayers for Papa Curt.
These videos feed the soul, great people doing demanding work with awesome attitude. could watch these videos all day and just smile
And that smile, God is shining on this young woman
And she returns that to us all out here to brighten our gloomy days and nights!
No matter what kind of apples you are growing, to get nice ones you need to thin out the branches so the root system is concentrating on supplying fewer larger apples and branches instead of many smaller ones. But don't overdo the trimming process. Great content as always Laura
Since I started following you guys, I've started noticing and appreciating pivots more and more. I even find myself explaining their workings to my family...
Laura I really love your channel. It's the only farming channel I subscribe to and it is because of two reasons. First one is the great content. The second one is because as an over the road trucker I have days where people get me upset. However, I know at the end of the day I will smile because your infectious smile just makes someone else smile naturally. So you said thank you to us and I'm saying thank you for being you and the food on our plates. God bless you and your family and God bless this great country of ours.
Apple farmer here. Could you elaborate on what you mean by healthy? The trees you show look good. I don't see any pest bites or fungus on your leaves....are you not getting a very big crop? Did you have a large bloom? Do you have bees around the tree's during the bloom? When do your apples mature? This will help us narrow down the variety.
Its good to see young women like Laura working on a family farm . Keep up the good work
I am a born and bred Iowa country farm boy. I Love everyday of my life. Laura, keep being you and keep being real. That's the most important part of life.
I am a retired rancher and I must say that you and Grant are about the best young farmers I have ever seen. I like how you take good care of your equipment and don't tear it up. I also like how you take care of your land and crops. I drive past many bean and corn crops hare in eastern NE and see so many fields that are just infested with weeds. I can't help you with the apples. Take care and keep up the great work that the two of you do.
Two main things that keep Americans alive are the American Farmer and the American Trucker..Thank You & THUMBS up To You All..🇺🇸👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
We love you, Laura. Thanks for being you.
We appreciate you too Laura, please keep the videos coming🚜
You’re a great teacher laura love listening to you, love to see you work I can just lay back and enjoy the videos❤️🌹🚜
Your smile and enthusiasm is delightful to watch and listen to. 🙂😀
We are blessed by your video,s!and your bright happy personality
As I read through the comments about pivots, I grew up with flood irrigation, and the huge lateral ditches which carried water from the river and dams to smaller lakes and ultimately individual farms and then setting tubes normally twice a day, tubes up to 2 in. and moving the various canvas dams as well. Hard work, but most of the cost of the irrigation was paid in the past, when the ditches were dug. Different situations for different farms. Good job.
The little darling and her family, Heaven sent!
I just luv your go getter attitude just makes my day. No how bad of a day that I have when I watch your videos it just makes me feel better about how my day goes. Keep doing what you do god bless and have a great day
Dragging back, we use to have to do this as well, but we had a 6 row HILLER, same Orthman and no auto steer. We also had a goad grader that created a mound on the rows to the well.
Laura, you are just the cutest! I love your videos!
Always smiling and always happy...keep up the good work and remember to just be yourself......its working..cheer
Laura I love you channel you keep it so real and that's what's great about it it's not scripted it's just 100% real you telling us what you're doing it's great.
I'm with you on the weather! Working in high heat can be uncomfortable, but it sure beats winter.
Great job changing the oil in the motor Grant
I don't know anything about apples but I love your videos and I appreciate how thankful you are. You work hard and deserve all the blessings you have!
LOL smiles I'm not an apple expert so I can't help you. After listening to your dad on the radio now I know where you get your smile and sense of humor from. Traffic jam out in the middle of nowhere that was perfect.. thanks for sharing can't wait to see you and Grant in the next video
I just discovered your channel. I find it refreshing to see a young person with your work ethic and values. I’ll keep watching
Love the shot of them sitting in the machine shed taking a little break.
GUMMY WORMS!!! I love the way you finish the day!
Hi 👋 Laura Wilson- FARMS in Central Nebraska.
2022 Hagie, you’ll love it. I’m
Going through our demo machine so the sales guys can get it in the field.
Farming is lucky. And I'm thankful for you and Grant even though I skip through the Grant parts. Poor Grant, love you man!
Ho we love what you do. Keep the videos coming. I lived and worked out in the sticks for most of my life and I loved it. I'm retired now partly though ill health and being pension age. I live in town now and it's nice where I live but I do miss that open country. So watching your videos are good. A different way of life. I can see you are nice people and living a life. Thank you.

Great videos ! I live on cape cod .not many farms around here so love watching videos like yours 👍👍
Back in the Stone Age when there wasn’t any pivots around, sometimes during a drought, the preacher would call for a special prayer meeting at church asking for rain to save the crops. Those aren’t Granny Smith apples, one day, many, many, moons from now, they will be called Granny Laura’s apples. LOL 😂
99% of the time .. the answer was no.
Ha ha ha ha
We had a drought back in the mid-70s which prompted the government to ask our Indigenous People to conduct a rain ceremony. Lots of people also went to their place of worship and prayed for rain. The rains did come, and flooded the state capital. Moral of the story: ask by all and any means, but be careful what you ask for.
Laura you and Grant make our day. You my dear are like a breath of fresh air or Sun through the clouds......If I feel down or something I see you have dropped a video it is like a B12 injection. Just remember stay humble.......stay you!!!!
BIg G is just the best as well we like to see how he does too but also how he takes care of his girl and when he teases you!!!
You know me......The daily lunch menu announcement just cements the video as officially yours!!!! Hahahahahaha.
You keep showing up and so will we!!!
Thank you for making the vids!
I started driving tractors in June of 1960……I still get as excited today as I did back then when I get to run a piece of big equipment…a day without diesel is a day without 🌞 Miss Laura, you are my new favorite TH-cam channel……Thank you from Western Kansas……!
You all are doing an awesome job you family I am sure is extremely proud of you and you have good knowledge of what you do so keep up the awesome videos good to see grant as well
She is becoming a great farmer. Keep up the great work Laura 💪
Fertiliser spikes hammered under the perimeter of the fruit tree canopy umbrage helps and bringing in a friendly neighbourhood bee hive for pollination helps.
Love the attitude "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort" Giddy up Laura and family
Wood ashes and iron is great for apple trees. So if u put some nails in the ground around the tree with wood ashes it will help quite a bit. Great video
Hello there. The Apple trees look pretty Healthy to me. The fruit look good and when they are right for picking that's when you know if they are for eating or cooking. They are easy to tell when they are ripe.
Hey Laura, I'm with you. Enjoy the sun and warm weather as long as you can. I'm in Connecticut it's Oct 23 it's 55degrees f.
Pruning your tree.
Thinning your apples any apples touching you got to take one off keep the best one this will bring you big apples and a good sugar content.
Hope this was helpful.
Love your videos.
Take care Rick....😁
👌another amazing awesome video from miss Laura🚜 God bless and take care from Vermont🌻🌻
Gratitude will get you everything, keep it up.
Great video Laura
Thank you for the management pivot point have done in your company requirement in Nebraska furniture combine friends with you to teach me about this world thank you for your comments on video attention keep up going up thank you again
my dream is to leave Brazil and spend a season there to improve my knowledge in agriculture 👏👏👏
Hi from Texas, love agriculture and Laura and family loving people 😇
Please pre-fill the new oil filter with new oil before putting it on. Will save the engine wearing metal on metal for the initial start up
Whether to pre fill the oil filter is an age old debate. Some people swear by it, some don't. Some people don't like the mess. Manufacturers say it isn't necessary.
Excelente Laura!!! Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
I love your Seabee flag in the equipment shed. My father retired from the Navy after 20 years and served two tours in Viet Nam. I think you said your grandfather also did a couple of tours there too. Ask your grandfather if he knew a EOC Teel. My father was attached to MCB-1. Sadly my father has passed. Pass on my thanks to a fellow veteran (your grandfather) for his service. Seems appropriate since tomorrow is Veteran's Day.
You do it well...keep up the good work!!
Love you guys thanks for sharing my family has learned so much from you on our movie nights.
It is so funny, as a kid I lived on a farm in Idaho West of Boise and we used aluminum siphon tubes from the ditch to rows in the dirt. It was a ton of work. That was one thing I did as a little kid was use a sponge and create a suction in the tube. I was under 9 years old and I can't find anyone that still does it that way. Everyone has gone to spraying like you do it or depend on rain.
Love all your videos
Hard working lady. Love it
God bless you all
❤ amazing videos thank you for all you do
I am glad to watch. Hopefully we can help pump a little money into rural America just by watching
Enjoy your life!!!!!
I went into a grocery store a few weeks ago during a hot spell and the employee that greeted me said, "Is it hot enough for you?". I told her that I spend all winter thinking about how much I enjoy the hot days of summer. It definitely was a "me too" moment.
Recently on another channel, there was a comment about the joy of riding an open-station tractor in road gear after working up a sweat all day working rows. That's a pleasure not lost on a fossil like me.
Good Morning !!
Thank you. Love you.
We Love All You Do And Make It Possible for Us To Tag Along!! Love It!! 😀👍👊
I feel the same way about the hot weather v the cold weather . Hate the snow.
Hi Laura, if you put potash arouhd the base of the trees it will help next years crop of apples and repeat every winter.
Hi Laura - you have to prune apple trees (properly) each year. Also fertilizer is important (check out fruit tree fertilizer spikes to make it easy). Beware of borers and fire blight. I grow about 25 apple trees and it's a labor of love. Keep up the great work. Love your videos.
Awesome video laura...
Laura and Grant U2 are nothing short of amazing I so enjoy all your videos I stumbled upon you and are you here on TH-cam and I just commented on the picture on your Facebook page Laura grant you are so blessed to have such an amazing wife may the Lord bless you and his gray shine upon you all and your families for eternity
Great Laura Farms Video, thanks for sharing
Good job
Really enjoy watching your videos, but there was another set of videos that was quite interesting: Modern Amish farming/ harvesting in Lancaster PA; truly a blast from the past! Now what I would like for you to show people, the big difference between Laura farms and modern Amish farming! Satellite steered tractors/ horse drawn equipment, fast tractors over slow horses! Don’t know if you’d like to; but the difference is so amazing similar and interesting! But was so interesting on farming techniques! I think you’d find it pretty cool 😎 too!!!
Yes you need to fertilize the trees. Fruit tree spikes are the easy way to fertilize your fruit trees. Any top dressing with compost/mulch will go along way. with trees its more about long lasting non liquid ferts, because the roots are deep and the nutrients need to soak in farther than vegies. A slow release fertilizer with npk ratio of something like 5-10-10 with a good micronutrients booster. since its a tree it takes a while for the stuff to take effect. So if you start now you will see good results next year.
Also for this years harvest you can help by foliage feeding as the fruits this year are so far along they wont show good results from just soil feeding as the ferts take several weeks to start working. what i have done is to spray foliage with a 25% strength solution of ferts with a kelp additive to promote more chlorophyll and chloroplast. this will help not just trees but all crops better utilize the sun to grow faster and better harvests.
Great video. Learned a lot. Thanks
Farming boring, nope, you make farming look fun with your personality and pretty smile. 😊
For the apple tree it is best to have the harvest on the outer edge of the tree so you should prune any tree limbs on the inside and prune any "suckers" ( branches that shoot straight up taking nourishment away from the apples) basically you end up with a bowl shaped tree.
Stupendous job... props
Laura, just like you would ask your local farming expert about corn and beans, go to your local nursery that specializes in fruit trees and ask for advice about fruit trees. They will know what grows best in your area and how to get the best results. Always ask for help from the LOCAL EXPERTS.
I'm the opposite for weather. I love the icy cold on my face in the winter and can't stand the heat. I can always put on more cloths to stay warm, but would complain if I were to strip down to much to stay cool.
For you apples. Spray for bugs in spring before they blossom and a fungicide. out here in California i spray the first week of February.
Hello from Minnesota.
Laura i spray my trees and put fruit spikes around them every about 30 inches from the tree once in spring as soon as you can push the spikes in the ground i ordered the spikes from Amazon in the 15 pack put two around each tree .Spray mine three times a year after the flowers have gone and the fruit shows up i dont know the name of the spray i use but AMAZON has many to chose from hope this helps you dear .
Looking good be safe
Kansas got all your rain 🌧️ storm in kansas for a week now no rain Friday to Monday we have so much rain
Hi Laura!
your apple trees need some pruning every year, they will do well with some natural manure, ideally chicken or cow manure, spread around the trees close to the trunk. in years with a lot of apples, you may want to single them out, then they will grow bigger, and not drain too much energy from the tree so it will again bloom enough the next year.
watch for the color of the leafs, the will indicate if there is a lack of nutiants or any pests around. needles to say, if any pests are evidend, spray if needed.
Apple may develop black spots in wet periods, that would be a fungus. if you see that then if's actually too late to spray.. the apples taste just as good with some of those spots. for own use, no need to spray.
Let me know if you have any other questions!!! Regards, Alex
intelligent, hard working and oh so beautiful. I love your videos.
You could graft all the other stone fruits to those apple trees it would look cool to see multi colored flowers on one tree.I made a pear,plum-apricot tree
space the apples out on the limbs leave 5-6 inches between them, it will improve the fruit size and color! fertilizer would be fine. 46.0.0 would work well. 2-3 handfuls spread around the drip line of the tree would be perfect!!! your better off buying Washington apples at the store! LOL
Apples are dicots, you are applying a monocot fertilizer? I would think a balanced fertilizer like a 20-20-20 would work better.
Laura you are sweet cute and extremely adorable you’re young just get up every day and live your life
