    You young lady are a perfect example of equality in action. Super feminine super intelligent super smart and super professional 🙏🏻
    Young girls would do well to view you as a role model rather than the fake celebrities that they tend to do. You should be very proud of yourself. You have put a huge smile on my face 🙏🏻

    Laura, this may have been your best video yet and I’ve watched everyone of them! Your explanations were detailed, complete and very educational! Having never worked on a farm, I find your video presentations very informational and a lot of fun to watch! My family asks me “what’s with this farm girl you’re watching”? My answer is very simple, “she’s very smart, a great teacher and a lot of fun to watch”! I can’t believe how much I’ve learned about commercial corn farming, seed corn farming, soybean farming, farm equipment, planting, harvesting, weed control and those damn pivots that you can’t live without! I’ve gotten to know a solid, 5 generation Nebraska farm family and especially their youngest farmer & her farming husband; she makes us all so proud to be Americans! Thanks Laura for all your great videos and all you are doing to educate us non-farmers! And especially thank you for flying the American Flag on your combine! Love the patriotism! Keep doing what your doing Laura; we love every bit of it!!

      Quick question; Did you guys purchase the "Mother Bin" or are you just leasing for the season.. Because I'd be willing to wager that it has an "enormous" price tag..?? Just curious..

    Drove out to northwest Iowa last week to visit my wife's family...they're just finishing up harvest. One of the interesting things we saw off Interstate 80 in Indiana was a farmer harvesting, not with a big green John Deere combine....but with four strong horses. And he certainly had his hands full. It was a warm sunny day, mid 70's, and the picture in that field with the sun at his back, the horses relentlessly moving through the rows of corn and the cuttings illuminated brightly in the air was like...... a work of art. Wish I had a picture.

    I am not a farmer, I am an experimental physicists who stumbled onto your channel several years ago and have enjoyed viewing the journey as you develop and grow your business.
    I watch your videos because I have become fascinated with farming and by the life and family values of farmers.
    Further, you seem to have an inate ability to understand what a novice like myself needs to understand and the ability to simplify and explain terminology and complexity that works well for me.
    Your ability to anticipate and answer my questions is uncanny.
    Although I realize what I see only scratches the surface, I am amazed at how much more I understand than I did two short years ago.
    Thanks for allowing me to observe.

    Ihave just found your youtube channel and it brought back so many memories. I used to work on a wheat and barley farm here in Australia back in the 1960s. This is the first time i have seen inside the latest combines and tractors as in my day there were no cabins let alone air con cabs All harvesting was done with open tractors towing the headers with long days and lots of choking dust and heat. Same thing with sowing time we used seed bags and super bags. I had to physically load each bag on my back from the truck to the combine, climb up and empty each one in.Hard and back breaking work. I am fascinated to see how everything is now automated and computerised and i went wow when i saw there was hands free steering ! Oh how times have have changed. It was so good to see a female at the helm as back in the day the female only got from the kitchen to the close line..lol It was inspiring to see you work the farm as a natural.You have the passion and dediction to succeed. Thankyou so much for sharing.

    The Untied States survey system has 36 square miles to a 6 mile x 6 mile “township”, each square mile contains 640 acres and is called a “section.” The original Homestead Act deeded 160 acres, or a 1/4 section for a farm, as that was about the maximum a person could manage with horses for pulling equipment like a one-bottom plow, maybe a two-row corn harvester, or a mower that would cut a 6 foot swath of wheat for bundling for the thresher. We can mourn the loss of the 1/4 section farm, but modern equipment works most efficiently on larger acreages. 106 degrees sounds like good bean drying weather. And just like that, Laura puts $1000.00 worth of diesel in the combine.

      It’s called the PLSS public land survey system, there are 9 corners to each square mile (section) 4 corners, 4 quarter posts and one center post. In southwest Michigan the initial survey was in the 1820s to 40s. The corners were set as tamarack posts generally. In the 1880s plus or minus a decade they set the stone monuments about a yard down.
      When they checked the monuments starting in the mid 90s they were generally within 4 inches by satellite. If I remember correctly the PLSS was an act of the continental congress.
      If you live in Michigan you may notice that roads jog at township lines and that is due to the curvature of the earth, they didn’t know exactly what it was at the time but managed to correct for it.

    • @charlesward8196
      @charlesward8196 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@megmolkate Thanks for the additional information. I am pretty sure that they knew the curvature of the Earth at the time, and made those adjustments as needed as the sections became too narrow on the north side as the east and west sides remained aligned with the North Pole. In Chicago the streets jog over at a certain point for the same reason. The Greeks knew the curvature of the Earth as well, and actually calculated the diameter at about 26,000 miles, depending on how you convert the “stadia” distance from Alexandria in Egypt and Syene near present day Aswan. On the summer solstice, when the Sun is at meridian, directly over head at the zenith, it illuminated the bottom of a well in Syene, roughly on the Tropic of Cancer, but in Alexandria about 500 miles north on the Mediterranean it was a about 7 degrees south of the zenith. 500x360/7=25,714 miles, pretty close to the actual value. Eratothsenes conducted the experiment on the summer solstice in 240 BCE.

    My youngest sister, married into a farming family, & helps in the fields here & there.
    I know what it’s like to be helping the other grandpa, grease a New Holland baler! 😳 I was shocked at the amount of grease Zirk‘s under those!😲😲😲I helped bale & load 60 - 80 lbs. bales, every summer growing up, & also know what rock picking is all about.

Some& bad memories! But it was life ! Yes Laura you explain very very very well. Which is what I like watching yours& other farmers videos. It's very interesting. So thank you again for all you farmers & veterans do !!!!!!We owe you both so much !!!!!❤❤❤❤ Until someone dose this themselves they have no idea what you folks need & have to have& go through.

In 1969 when I was in college for Ag Engineering, we tore down a John Deere Combine and put it all back together. They were much more simple than today. So glad to see all you guys are doing to let the rest of America understand the importance of Ag. Life.

    @maryrinehart2346 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seeing your irrigation system close up and all it takes to maintain and run and move the sprinklers was an eye opener for me. I’m a city girl with enough allergies to grasses/flowers/trees/dust mites/mold/animal dander that I’ll never live in the country but I love that whole life. So my confession is I always thought you just ran water hoses out to where you irrigated; had no idea about the motors, etc. Also the sheer amount of mechanical, electrical, and computer knowledge farmers have to have just to maintain as well as just run your equipment is incredible. And chemistry and botany knowledge, too. Also finances. My head hurts! The days of Farmer Jim heading out on a small tractor with little Billy & Jane feeding their pet lambs before school and Lassie meeting them when the school bus drops them off & Mom wearing her crisp dress and gingham apron is hanging the wash out is a long ago memory if not myth. Farming is relentless and requires that quality from its practitioners. And you find your joy and fun as you go along. That’s what I‘be been learning from you, your family and other TH-cam farming channels

    Your channel and your Dad's are amazing to me. I enjoy listening to you, Laura. Your personality is delightful. Hearing you explaining informs me of what you do. I used to grow tobacco and hay as a kid. We had cattle for the hay and sold the hay and the tobacco was our main cash crop. Living in the NC tobacco belt, it was hard work harvesting by hand until we got the harvester. You do a great job. I know your Dad is very proud. It's good you love your job. 👍👋

    @lindanelson8400 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Laura, you just go ahead and keep on explaining what, how, when, and the why of all farming operations. I was raised in a large farming family until I was twelve years old. That was in the 1960's. I'm just amazed at the technology that is farming today. Between you, Grant, your dad, the Welkers, Larsons, and the Johnson family I get to recall life in a farming family. Times have changed, but the one constant is farm families all work hard and pull together as a unit. When I see three and four generations at work together on the farm it warms my heart.

  • @garyhuber3462
    @garyhuber3462 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Farming has changed a lot since I pulled a grain wagon (no grain cart then) in the field sixty years ago. I am impressed by the scale of your family's operations and all of the technology used to integrate a very efficient and productive farming operation. Even more impressive is your integration of farm animals to recover grain and plant residues while returning urea and manure to the soil. Here in Illinois grain operations seldom have more than a few dogs and cats.

I'm 63, live in Florida, in the Tampa Bay area, and all I know is salt water habitat stuff, fishing, boating, etc. I'm a Pastor of a church and a USCG Captain too. I watch you and "My Wyoming Life" (my wife and kids make fun of me) but you do a great job explaining all things farming and I have learned a lot from both channels because I'm totally ignorant about farming stuff and how our food is grown and shows up in the grocery stores.

    Laura, you explain everything very well!! I've always been curious and intrigued by farms and agriculture. I tested it a few weeks ago: I downloaded Farm Simulator. I know exactly what to do in the game, and what equipment/tools to use. Without the Laura Farms videos I wouldn't know what to do, I would be lost. The game doesn't tell much haha... So thank you! (I know it's not the same haha).
    Seriously, the content is really fun to watch and very educational!
    I grew up in a village in the Netherlands with farms everywhere. So as a kid I had so many fresh produce, eggs, milk, potatoes, corn etc. Farmers sold produce directly door to door in the village (they stopped selling just a few years ago). When we needed eggs or milk, we just went to a farm. Man, I didn't know we were so spoiled! Also, if we had people over and they stayed for dinner, if my mother hadn't had enough vegetables, she just walk to the end of our alley and pick some corn on the cob fresh off the plant (of course she paid for it. The farmer didn't mind).

    Beautiful Lady, don't worry about your mess. We non-farmers have no idea what a clean tray should look like. What you have there looks essential to work and should be there.

    I find it interesting how farms in different areas do things differently. It depends on the yield, climate, irrigation or not etc.
    I grew up in New England where row crops weren’t common. Hay and corn grown for silage was the most prevalent, fields are very small less than 100 acres.
    At one point I was working as an engineer in Michigan and didn’t have much to do on weekends, so I hauled beans and corn for a local farm.
    I did get to run a combine cutting corn though, that was fun. Really makes you appreciate straight rows!

    I love the extra explanation! I live in the suburbs and have never been on a farm. I have 2 daughters your age and absolutely love that you are working with your Dad so much.! I'm glad you updated us. I really wanted to know about the big tires! They are Awesome!

    True story, my sister was on a road trip and she noticed certain rows of corn cut and others not cut. I was able to enlighten her about the male corn pollinate the female corn and then its cut. She said WHAT, I did not know that. Laura, thank you for making me farm smart !! Your videos are awesome. 🙂😃😊

    • @CheersWarren
      @CheersWarren 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Remember she did explain that they are not actually male and female that just call them that . The seed company is just cross pollinating one type with another. Laura then removes the type they don’t want so all the seed corn is the required type.

      @@CheersWarren Exactly! Corn is a monoecious plant, meaning it has both male and female reproductive organs on the same plant. The tassels are the male and the silks on the ears are the females. Corn is generally "wind pollinated", bringing the pollen from the tassels onto the silks. Each silk represents a single kernel of corn on the cob.

    I love how you pass on your knowledge of farming, I was raised on a farm, but I still enjoy you describing how the different harvesting equipment works in a way that non farm people can understand. Having that mother bin sure speeds the harvest up, amazing what industry can come up with. Hope your harvest goes well Laura. Tell Grant hes not the first and won't be the last to spill like that--just don't do it again lol. Take care, be safe and farm on.

    Laura, I learned today that you never get tired, and that Grant has an infinite patience. If I would have been the one dropping all that grain on the ground and then find a flat tire in the equipment all on the same day, I would have walked to the closest bridge and jumped😊😊

    It's so encouraging to see young folks who are so excited about the manual labor of farms, ranches, etc. Especially a pretty young lady, who often in this world is more concerned with her looks than her intelligence and hard work, the practicalities that make up the real world.
    So keep up the good work, Laura, and God bless you and your family as you continue to produce food for us all.

    Good morning, yes I learned how the pivots work You explain things very well and in layman's terms. I've noticed in the Mississippi Delta where I live close to that they grow rice cotton and corn but they only burn the rice fields after the harvest I know you don't grow rice but I wonder if you knew why?

  • @WilEngelen

    As an interested person in your work, I am very happy with your explanation of everything you do. Everything in your farm is 100 times as big as here in the Netherlands. Not just your farming, the machines are even bigger than in my imagination. Saw your tractor swap wheels a size bigger than yourself. I enjoy your cheerfulness and the farming that is in your veins. Hope to follow you for a long time.

    Your the first person I know of to explain where the ter “combine” comes from.
    I was just sharing at Old Threshers with a friend, see the “reaper” over there that worked in the field cutting the grain and the big stationary “thresher” which processes the grain are “Combined” in one mobil machine.
    Your “dumb” explanations are wonderful to the non-farmers out there to understand better what is happing.
    Thank you for explaining👍👍

    What have I learned from your channel? Such a beautiful young lady with a great husband and dad who has really done a good job in teaching you so much about farming and all the equipment, steps to go from ground prep to planting, to caring for the crop and then harvesting it. Keep up the good work Laura. I would be proud to have you as a granddaughter.
