You're going great! Things happen. Night work isn't easy, that's why I did 12hr day shifts, and others did the 12hr night shifts. Concentration slips a bit at night, unless you are a night person. Try to check your rotating parts a few times a day. When you work into the night, check all your gear before dark. Spin, and shake your rotating gear to check for faulty bearings, loose bolts, etc. Check hoses for leaks, and look over everything in general. I used to have a lot of bearing failures on tandem discs. The sooner you notice the failure, the better. Pump some grease into hard working bearings if needed. I've seen combine harvester bearings catch fire at night on wheat harvesting. Mechanically block all hydraulically lifted gear when working on it. I have a nasty "dent" in my right ribs, plus a deep scar on my right arm for not following safety procedures with raised equipment, plus had my left foot badly squashed, and torn up by not shutting down equipment when working on blockages. I've ended up on the operating table twice getting sown up. Took me a long time to get the message! IT'S ALWAYS SAFETY FIRST! Eat healthy food, and snacks. Nibble on fruit, nuts, sandwiches, salads, etc. We ate while driving. No meal, or coffee breaks. The Case Steiger tractor had a refrigerator installed for our food in Australia. Driving trucks on the USA wheat harvest, I used to be addicted to Silk chocolate soy milk...drank it by the quart. Air conditioning dries out the air in the cab, so you need a lot higher liquid intake. You're doing just fine! Expect equipment failures; just try and catch them sooner rather than later. Best wishes, and take care
I have never,ever have seen any farm guy or girl explain how farm equipment functions in such detail. It's like we're standing next to you out in the field! Then Dad shows up,oh crap!
Finally a person who is doing what TH-cam was intended...unedited as I go videos. Keep up the good work young lady...and don’t lose your style. One of my favorite TH-cam channels recently changed his style and it sucks. He started out just like you.
This gives me so much hope for America and our farmers. So nice to see someone so young take an interest in and master these skills. Thank you for sharing how you feed America and I wish you tremendous success in farming and with TH-cam. Also kudos to your family for sharing these skills with you.
Good job getting at fixing your mistakes. Funny that you wanted to fix it before anyone else found out. That's how we all think, we just don't have a TH-cam channel to tell everyone. Love it. Keep up the good work!!
This was great. Dad didn't seem too bothered. I really liked seeing more of the equipment and the maintenance. I'm a little surprised that this equipment fails this way and the operator has to be so careful to not go backwards with the implement down. It seems like there could be a lock-out or some mechanical way of preventing this problem.
Well. You can't protect everything from all the wrong ways it could be used. Shouldn't go 80mph with a trailer. Shouldn't put a cat in a microwave. This was just a split moment she didn't think straight. She says so herself; she did something wrong.
This was the first video of your channel that was on my feed and I watched 1 year ago. Your channel has been one of those channels that I'm glad I checked out. Great way to clear my mind after work everyday.
I got to say its great seeing women in agriculture that actually fix equipment and don't run back to the farm to get there dad or farm hand to fix there problems like I have seen on a few other channels out there that I won't mention
You're alright young lady. You have a great sense of humor. Then most attractive aspect to any person. Looking forward to watching more videos that you put out. Keep them coming.
Awesome Laura! This is stuff most of us city dwellers never see, especially big farming. OBTW, you are adorable and have a great dad! Don't be shy about showing off your life out there! Add in more of your family too.
Hey Laura, my Wife and I are liking your channel. I work in the chemical industry, when people want to come into this industry or others, when they've farmed it's nice because we know in all likelihood they have a great work ethic and have a general understanding of how electro mechanical systems function and how (mostly) to repair them. My Wife asked what your Major was, you may have already mentioned this.
This is why i like to watch your vids...you have a hands on mentality and you solve your own problems, you have a nice laugh and i like your sense of humor....i’m not surprised you have 30K in 30 days...keept it up🤘🏼
Today's tractors are so much nicer than what I drove. I drove many that didn't have cabs. Baling wheat straw without a cab in 95 degree weather with no cab. And in the days before portable music.
HootMaRoot are you trying to draw a parallel between Deliverance and me? Or is it that the banjo is somehow connected to country people? Have you ever been to a bluegrass festival? Or listened to say Steve Martin play? Now a more pertinent question, have you ever done farming or ranching? Have you driven a tractor?
@@Kingfisher1215 why so serious I spent most of my childhood working sheep and the land, bloody hell most of the tractors I used back in the 90s had no cabs or radios
Just a tip, if you are looking for longer videos, just slow down the 'Fast Forwards' a notch and you could gain maybe a minute or more. I've seen almost all your videos, and I love this one the best. I laughed out loud when I saw, "Send Snacks" You are awesome. Thanks for feeding America! We need more farmers like you. Thank You.
The unfortunate thing is though, that most of the farming (doesn't matter if it is Laura or not) is usually unsustainable :/ (land use, water use etc...)
What a rollercoaster of emotions!!!! "I can fix this", "im lacking tools", "there i fixed it" !!! Another great video (improved a lot on the sound quality.. grats)
Farming isn't easy work. Stay hydrated and keep energy up. Back when I did asphalt, I would shovel asphalt by the ton pile daily. Never bothered to calculate it but some of the intricate jobs would have me spreading 20 piles or more in an 18+ hour day. In the summer heat it was nothing to drink 3 gallons of water and not have to pee but maybe once or twice. Slowly working through the videos! Keep killing it out there!
Laura, You're good - have a great mechanical mind. Plus you don't cross thread nuts and bolts. You put that spring bracket on like a boss!. I don't regret sub'ing at all.
Probably a good call on waiting. I forget how many times I got the job of fixing what my father messed up because he world try to fix it while exhausted. This is the first time I got a good look at the closer wheels; those sure have changed since the Allis-Chalmers 600 series I used to run - a rubber tire with a single rib that packed the furrow and was the mechanical drive for the row unit.
I did this same thing in 2009, the first time I planted milo here in Kansas. Hard lesson learned when I was a teenager. FYI, those disks will cut your hand if you let them.
😄 been there myself a time or two. Once while demoing a tractor it jumped into N while climbing a hill rolled backwards. Good 2hrs down! And seems every year I pinch some skin turning the openers backwards to get some mud or dirt out! Sombody needs to come up with a better way for that..
Hey, have your sprayer in the back of the pickup (75 gal. +), use water to flush the dirt out. Take minutes to do it and no tear down of planter assembly.
reverse thread nuts should have a notch on them to indicate the reverse thread...learned that after breaking more than one bolt. :) awsome job there... inspiring!
Laura- I am really enjoying your channel, good information about farming with some fun thrown in. It's so cool that you knew how to do that repair and just jumped in and did it. I'm sure the conversation with your dad was uncomfortable. 😐
Always be thinking of the farm The only think that makes a a oops worst is trying to hide it. Everyone will have issues ask for assistance as soon as you can. Time. Is money
you're awesome laura I love your channel. keep up the great work and don't worry about what people say on how much you eat you're a hard working girl. You just gained a subscriber lol
You deserve all the subs you're going to inevitably have but I kind of enjoy the smaller community for now. You'll have over 100k before next year I'm sure
The “Mommy and Daddy corn” not your gauge wheels being plugged. I am sure there is a reason you could not use this but, would a pressure washer blast the gauge wheels out?
Your hilarious and pretty smart girl so you messed up I am willing to bet more experience farmer have messed up even worse so ignore any nay sayers .lol on the mommy and daddy corn that was cute.enjoy and stay safe
How does refilling seed work? Does the tractor carry spare bags or does it tell you when you're not going to finish a row or does it just remember the spot you ran out and you go back there?
If we had a million more young ladies like this, the future of America would be an unquestionable success.
Dot right on point
We do
Amen
“When a mommy corn and a daddy corn...” ahahahahaha I died laughing
:XD
A fertile joke :)
She was giving us "the talk" about corn.
:D

Hello hope you are doing great
I have never,ever have seen any farm guy or girl explain how farm equipment functions in such detail.
It's like we're standing next to you out in the field!
Then Dad shows up,oh crap!
TH-cam star! You're doing a great job, very interesting and fun to watch.
Finally a person who is doing what TH-cam was intended...unedited as I go videos. Keep up the good work young lady...and don’t lose your style. One of my favorite TH-cam channels recently changed his style and it sucks. He started out just like you.
I like videos which make me smile and feel cheerful. Thank you.

It's clear to me your family farm is in great hands.
God bless.
This was the first video of your channel that was on my feed and I watched 1 year ago. Your channel has been one of those channels that I'm glad I checked out. Great way to clear my mind after work everyday.
Love your videos. You have to have proud parents. You have the best personality and super smart. Keep it up!
Hi Laura, this is one of my favorite videos of all time!!!! Very funny lol
"The plan Stan." Laughed out loud at that one! Haha
I got to say its great seeing women in agriculture that actually fix equipment and don't run back to the farm to get there dad or farm hand to fix there problems like I have seen on a few other channels out there that I won't mention
You're alright young lady. You have a great sense of humor. Then most attractive aspect to any person. Looking forward to watching more videos that you put out. Keep them coming.
I absolutely love the corn version of the birds and the bees, that was epic.

I’m a business major! Thanks for watching :)
You tell it like it is!!.you crack me up.awesome attitude!,Dads got to be proud.
This is fascinating to me. I've met number of girls working on farms but never in the field directly. Great stuff. Subscribed.
This is why i like to watch your vids...you have a hands on mentality and you solve your own problems, you have a nice laugh and i like your sense of humor....i’m not surprised you have 30K in 30 days...keept it up🤘🏼
Laura I love it. You are awesome fixing your own equipment. 👍🏼
Today's tractors are so much nicer than what I drove. I drove many that didn't have cabs. Baling wheat straw without a cab in 95 degree weather with no cab. And in the days before portable music.
Guessing back then you had to have someone travelling round with a banjo for your musical entertainment lol
HootMaRoot are you trying to draw a parallel between Deliverance and me? Or is it that the banjo is somehow connected to country people? Have you ever been to a bluegrass festival?

@@Kingfisher1215 why so serious
I spent most of my childhood working sheep and the land, bloody hell most of the tractors I used back in the 90s had no cabs or radios
You are so refreshing to watch, thanks for sharing fixing the planter and the seed education, it was cute

Wrenching on tractor. Extra super enjoyable episode! Thank you.🇺🇲
What a rollercoaster of emotions!!!! "I can fix this", "im lacking tools", "there i fixed it" !!! Another great video (improved a lot on the sound quality.. grats)
Very impressive work on the planter keep up the good work!
In addition to those 7 miles, you never miss an opportunity to climb into a Tractor (half a dozen steps up)
I eat all the time in the tractor also. You did an awesome job explaining how to fix the planter.
You totally need a tshirt or baseball cap that says, 'That's the plan, Stan!' with a thumbs up.
Two thumbs up and that wicked grin of hers!
forgot the snacks
Manual work = big food consumption. great videos and nice to see how competent a farmer you are for your age!
Lol! That is so funny... "when the mommy corn and the daddy corn love each other very much". You're so cute!
Clicked for a beautiful lady, stayed for very informative farming videos. Keep up the great work
Showing off the guns. Love it.
Great video and work ethic and you are funny, too. Thanks for sharing.

That could be a new feature 'Laura Samples Snacks in the Tractor' :)
Great video, loved the Mummy & Daddy corn 🤣

Right on, cool how u wrench on planter. Great video
Great job. If something doesn’t give you fits you wouldn’t be farming. Always happens when you don’t want it to. Keep em coming

I wait till it is perfectly dry. Hate planting in wet soil. Farm Girls Rock
I love your content. You are such a genuine person!
Hey, have your sprayer in the back of the pickup (75 gal. +), use water to flush the dirt out.
Take minutes to do it and no tear down of planter assembly.
You are wonderful, you have the food of your farm soul, you are alive
Hard worker, and a awesome personality, oh and very easy on the eyes as well 😊
GREAT JOB PRECIOUS LADY....PROUD OF Y'ALL
You need a truck, water tank, generator and a pressure washer permanently handy and blast the dirt from those wheels. Job done in five. Great videos!!
Service truck. That’s what I need.
Awesome machine. Good luck fixing it.
Thank You for explaining the seed corn fact of life to all of us. I felt like I was back in health class again. LOL
reverse thread nuts should have a notch on them to indicate the reverse thread...learned that after breaking more than one bolt. :) awsome job there... inspiring!
And you have a metabolism, keep up the great work.
Felix
Hello hope you are doing great
Whoa there young lady, do you even have a license for those 11:47 ?
You are a very smart and a go getter you’re special keep up the good job love your videos
Wish I knew half the stuff you know! Then again that's why we're here!
AWW NO SNACKS! DAMN IT! All good! You needed snacks after that job!
Super impressive. Well that's one of the rules of life ... Shit happens. As always, you handle it like a pro. Love your videos.
Your the only youtuber I know who does seed corn. Gonna be pretty neat to see how that all works. Good luck 👍
Keep up the great videos! It will catch on. I don't comment much but have been enjoying your channel for a month or so now. =)
I woke up about 4am and had nothing to do and you uploaded new video. Well you definitely deserve snacks now!
I am impressed with your work ethic and intrest In farming, knowledgeable, can definitely run with the boys
Laura- I am really enjoying your channel, good information about farming with some fun thrown in. It's so cool that you knew how to do that repair and just jumped in and did it. I'm sure the conversation with your dad was uncomfortable. 😐

At this rate, next month...
Awesome Sause You needed help.All Good, Imagine the day you Dont need help,You Got This GO GO!
Pulling gauge wheels in the field is always good times!
Thanks for the video. Impressed with your wrenching capabilities. You need a good closing line or action when your video is over, just a suggestion.
Great video Laura good luck seeding
Hit disk with hammer. Leave gauge wheels on run disk backwards, what little left will wear off. Doing great job!!!!
You are a sweetheart girl, so nice that you have ability to understand it and fix it 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Don't mind me... I'm just over here spending my Friday night watching a farmer fix a tractor.
Great to see a young lady learning to farm.
I deff need one of those on my farm, great job !
The “Mommy and Daddy corn” not your gauge wheels being plugged. I am sure there is a reason you could not use this but, would a pressure washer blast the gauge wheels out?
It's all Good My Friend. eat when you're hungry n sleep when you're tired(add alcohol as required) Thank You for sharing
You are a breath of fresh air.
Good job. Somthing happends, but nice that you fix it.
That's the plan Stan. I've never said that in my life. LOL
Can you make a video about financial stuff on farming. Like how much you guys make and what are the expenses etc. btw I like your videos.
love u and ur dads team up...
Great job, please keep it up!
SEND SNACKS! Thats why im here,Dont dissapoint me!
My new favourite farm channel. Jealous of the exercise your getting. #farmgainz
Your hilarious and pretty smart girl so you messed up I am willing to bet more experience farmer have messed up even worse so ignore any nay sayers .lol on the mommy and daddy corn that was cute.enjoy and stay safe
You work hard, eat what you want.
Hard workin very cute farm girl !!!..love it,,, thanks
How does refilling seed work? Does the tractor carry spare bags or does it tell you when you're not going to finish a row or does it just remember the spot you ran out and you go back there?
Can you mount your camera to get some footage of the machine actually putting seed into the ground? That would be cool! Love the channel!
There’s definitely a new cornstar on the TH-cam block!
Moommy corn an daddy love each other very much lol hahahahaha
Sending well wishes from the thumb of Michigan
And great job
Born and raised in the Thumb!
This was my first Laura farms video. Now we are hooked.
Farming at IKEA some assembly required, thanks for sharing
you work
you deserve every piece of food and snacks 😂
Drinking all that sugar soda reminds me of that line from Talladega nights “I’m jacked up on Mountain Dew!”
