More than 50 years ago, I worked on a local sweetcorn farm before I was old enough drive. Mom drove my brother and I over to the farm by 7 AM and we worked all day for three dollars cash and a bag of sweet corn. The farmer had his rows set up so that he could drive a small garden tractor and trailer between rows and we would walk behind the tractor and trailer, throwing the sweet corn in the trailer as we progressed down the row. We would load up the tractor and trailer onto a small trailer and drive it to the local grocery store where he sold it locally repeating the process multiple times a day. It was hard work, but very rewarding. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for being my great fan so far and may God continue to bless you and protect you,I must say that I have enormous respect for you considering the manner in which i have made contact with you. I'm very glad you are a fan of mine.may GOD bless you some more.
I live in a big city now, but I grew up working on our family farm and remember going out to pick corn from other farmers and them from us. It was the best tasting. Your video brings back memories as we had a couple of 4020s, one with a loader just like yours. Watched all your videos through the season of your corn progress. As another viewer commented, plant some each week and you will have some for a long time.

I wish I lived closer so I could have tried some of your sweet corn. Washington State is a little too far away. Thanks for blessing the people in your community. You are so generous, and God will bless you for it.
Laura, Grant, and Gage, do you know that your videos always make me happy!!! It's true! You all have great loving, positive attitudes. LAURA FARMS are my most viewed videos of all the ones I subscribe to. Always happy times!!! 🚜🌽

This is an awesome way to give back to the community that has helped you folks through the years!! You guys are amazing!! If I ever get the opportunity to meet you I would so enjoy that!!! Love your channel!!!
I have followed you since day one. Your farming is impressive but your attitude is awesome. Sharing your harvest with your neighbors demands respect from all your piers. Having been a dairy farmer in New England in my youth, i have an understanding of what it takes to make a farm operation successful. The true meaning of success has little to do with monetary reward and more to do with happiness of spirit and commitment. Putting all else aside, you have shown to all your viewers that farming is not just about growing food...its about growing community. Thank you.

We have a local farmer that does 10-15 acres of sweet corn every year. He gets it pick and then gives it all away at the county fair. Hope his family has many more blessed years.
I would freeze sweet corn in the husk. Put it in ziplock bags. In the husk it will keep over a year and stay fresh. A couple ears in a ziplock will steam in the microwave in about 12 minutes. Cut the stem end off just where the kernels begin. Squeeze the tassel end and the ear comes out with none of the hairs on it. We freeze as much as we can so we can have corn all year long. I love your channel, you and Grant are great ambassadors for American Farming.

Everything about this channel gives me hope for the future. Hard work. Strong values. Positive mindsets. Simple pleasures. You, Laura, have found a way to honor your ambition and travel far from your roots in exploring the wider world while remaining true to yourself. In doing so you brought the world to you. Hello from California. Ever onward!
will never forget... Watching irrigation on a cotton field. changing suction pipes every few hours. weekends work. My boss, stopped by checking fields... there was a Nice Fresh sweet corn field next door. Mark asked, "Did you fill up the back of your rig yet???" - "No Sir. Not our field." "I know your Mom, Nana, Aunts,,,, fill up that rig." yeah, enjoyed.
Wish I lived closer to you and could get some of that corn. I would even come and pick it myself. Laura, since you are one of the sweetest You Tubers I know I'm sure that is the sweetest sweet corn in the United States. Giving back to the community was a very sweet and caring gesture. You, Grant and Gage are awesome young people and certainly a great example for future young farmers to follow after. May all your crops be prosperous for many years to come. Love you all from Oklahoma.
long time listener, first time caller .i use to garden big gardens and that was my biggest joy, fed neighbors and everybody got sweet corn and froze a ton every year..glad you got to experience it , love you guys

I grow corn every year, i get 2 crops yearly because I have such a mild climate when i harvest I can reseed for another batch right away and get in 2 crops. Ive been experimenting with a lot of hybrids in more recent years, but mostly grow Golden Bantam, and stowells evergreen when I grow organic.
The sweet corn looks good. We have such good corn in Nebraska. Growing up, we used to have corn day where the family would freeze sometimes up to over 300 pints of corn. We would shuck it, wash it, blanch it, cool it off, cut it off the cobb, and pack it in bags. One of the best ways to cook corn is to microwave the whole ear, then cut off the stalk end. Squeeze the small end and the ear will come out clean with no silks attached.

Laura, Grant, Gabe, you are 3 awesome people !!! GOD bless !! The corn had my taste buds fighting each other and I did not even get to try it... Nice job on prep, plant, care, harvest, and share the old fashion community way ! People can be influenced by generosity... From Southwest Ohio...
Back when I was still a tadpole I helped my grandpaw raise huge vegetable garden so he could supplement his income. 99% of the veggies were sold to local supermarkets and enough were left over to can or freeze for our family. Grandpaw never owned a big tractor. Yall made God smile and so did the folks that got corn. Hope yall save some for a crawfish boil/

My great great grandparents owned a farm up in fulton county pa that has been passed down through generations which I now own. Cows, horses, chickens, apple trees, feed corn, sweet corn, asparagus, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, pumpkins, all kinds of berries and they canned everything. I recon that's where I came into farming/ The thing I still hate the most is cleaning out the stalls and spreading it out in the fields. Laura, your videos make me want to keep going and hopefully pass it down to one of my kids.
That first ear Laura shucked is incredible! Huge and perfect! Laura is one of the most beautiful creatures God ever put on this earth. Kind, smart, hard working, huge heart, and just stunningly gorgeous. Wow!
@@Pixeleensbodyguard he has a disturbing unhealthy fixation on Laura judging from all the comments he leaves for her. 😳 This isn’t even close to the cringiest one.
Try pressure cooking the corn (pressure steaming it on a rack off the bottom and using only about 1/3 cup of water) that way you don't lose flavor to the big pot of water. Microwaving it wet and tightly wrapped (sort of pressure cooking it in plastic wrap for about 4 minutes) is really good too, but a lot of people are concerned about the plastic. Grilling it wet with the husk still on is good too, but shucking and cleaning it is a pain (literally and figuratively) when it's hot. Any of those methods are usually faster and prevent losing a lot of flavor to a pot of water. Try different methods of cooking it, you might never want to boil it again. Love your channel, keep up the good work, the world needs more people like you!
Yes to steaming in a pressure cooker but my favorite and easiest is: Cut the stalk side of the ear off, Microwave in the husk, no wrap, about 3-4 minutes. When done, squeeze the silk end and the ear "pops" out with very little silk,
Awesome job guys...sweet corn is the best. And great to feed others. Farmers are the backbone. Try puling the husk to the base, remove silk, coat with miracle whip and chili powder. Pull husk back over and grill it...mmm

Youve got a really good harvest of sweetcorn there.....Awesome your giving it away to the community.....Glad you 3 enjoyed them as well...stay safe and see you soon
What a great video! So cool seeing Grant drive into town & you guys setting up shop in a parking lot! Just the work you three did and then the generosity.....you're all heart!
We always planted 3 different varieties with different periods about 3 weeks apart, and 3 times. Sometimes, the last didn't mature but big deal. It was just for us (4 families). And we used a hand planter we called a jobber. Every time we put a foot down, we jabbed it into the ground and put down a coupla seeds by opening and closing it by hand. If you've ever heard it, you'll never forget that rhythmic sound.
Back when we planted on our place here in Western Pennsylvania was a 2-0 planner that's over 20 years ago we used to start at planting time in the spring and plant about once a week for May through about the 4th of July we have corn ready from the time it started to mature and early August to a lot of years in October. I can remember one year when The neighbor kids were coming in to trick-or-treat we were eating sweet corn blew their parents mind that we had our own sweet corn that late in the season
Corn, Zea mays, belongs to the Poaceae family, and while eaten sometimes as a vegetable and sometimes as a grain, it is actually classified by botanists as a fruit, as are tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, zucchini and other squashes.
Watching you guys give away a bucket load of corn reminds me of a time when we had feed organic feed corn in our fields. It was a good year so the yield was high. One of our fields is directly across the road from a little country store. We get a lot of tourism because we are adjacent to a large recreational lake. Well the temptation of all of that corn growing and ripe was too much for some of the tourists and they would come across the road and take some. I would have given them all they wanted but it was more entertaining to think how much they will have to cook the feed corn. By the time we harvested there were about 10 feet of plants stripped bare for about 100 feet. That was a fair amount of corn but it was worth it to think of how disappointing it would have been trying to eat it. I must saw that my mouth was watering some when you took a big bite of one. Sweet corn is definitely one of life’s best things. Love your channel. Best Regards, Your Pal Al
Great job guys, next time try it on a grill. Soak the ears in a bucket of water for 15 minutes, husk in and all. And then grill for 5 minutes on each side, taste great.
Laura, my sister-in-law, adds crushed Rosemary to season the corn while the water is boiling. It adds to the sweetness, which is how I enjoy sweet corn now.
Sweet corn is really good in the microwave. You cut off the top and bottom of the ear. Then put in microwave for five minutes. Then pull husks and hair off. Really good!
Oh my mouth started watering watching you guys pick your sweet corn. And you guys are so sweet to give it away free. Groceries stores will be selling all the goodies that go with that. So guess what? I took two ears out of my freezer and tonight I’m eating two ears for Supah! Oh I miss my days growing up on the farm, where we traded string beans and taters for corn!!!!! I’m 76 and crying about the days where all we ate was fresh foods!!!! 🥲😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The pure love and joy eminates from Laura in everything she does. So beautiful and heartwarming. Makes this ol' Iowa boy smile as he recalls his rural, midwestern upbringing. Great episode. Thanks to all three of you. Well done!
Also Iowa boy. I tell this to people and they look at me like I'm lying...mom had a big flat pan that she served sweet corn in. In it was a couple inches of warm bacon grease salt and pepper. We rolled the corn in it, sans butter, and ate it. I haven't done that since but I often think about doing it just to relive the memory. It was so good!
Showing your kind heart. Your skills are great. Way to go making me hungry. Pretty much the corn season is over here where I live in Indiana. Keep it up and get ready for the harvest.
The blessings of a corn harvest. Sharing it with family, friends, and those that need a little bit of help. You went out of way and shared with a family or two of raccoons.👩🌾🐀🌽

Well Laura I would have loved to come and get corn from you what is a bit of a long commute from Palm springs California and I think it's absolutely great that you gave a lot of that corn away there's a lot of folks that are very happy about that that's a good thing to do may God keep you and bless you grant add gauge and as usual you made me smile isn't that what it's all about 🤠😎🥰🤠
I grown and sold Sweet Corn on our family farm as a young child, many years later at a Ranch Party with plenty of Corn, I do miss those old days.... :)

if y'all have never grown sweet corn, a good reason is to try this: start the water boiling, send someone out to pick the corn and husk it on the way back and drop it in the water. That will stop the process at an earlier stage than when you get it at a market. Every minute different for about the first fifteen or twenty minutes after picking tastes completely different and the earliest is the best.

I learned a real effective way of buttering your corn. Grab a slice of bread butter it and them lay it in the palm of your hand in a u shape and run your corn through it. Nice of coating and real easy. Enjoy
Leave the corn in the shucks, microwave for one minute on high, flip it over and one more minute ( your time may vary ). Let it sit for 5 minutes or more to let the steam calm down. It don't get any easier than that folks!!
Possibly the Most "Positive Energy" people on Y/T. Thanks for sharing and in case our paths never cross please know that you have added some joy (and a whole bunch of education about Farming) to my life. I enjoy your videos. Many thanks. 😊
Love all your videos and you’re one of my favorite TH-cam channels that I follow. I would love to see a collaboration with one of my new favorite farmers Jackson Laux from Indiana. Continued success for you and Grant on your farm. 👏🏻🙏👍❤️
My Grandpa used to have corn roasts. He would soak the corn in a barrel of water for a few hours then put on the grill so that the corn would steam in the husks. When done the blackened husks would be removed and YA-HOO .....eatin grandpa's corn!

Youve got a really good harvest of sweetcorn there.....Awesome your giving it away to the community.....Glad you 3 enjoyed them as well...stay safe and see you soon
What a great video! So cool seeing Grant drive into town & you guys setting up shop in a parking lot! Just the work you three did and then the generosity.....you're all heart!
Next year plant a couple rows a week, that way it's not all ready at once, and you have fresh sweet corn for longer...👍
That's what we do
Need Grant’s two row planter to plant a week or so apart.
There is a farm near us that does that, so they have corn at their stands for longer into the season. Great idea!!!
We always planted 3 different varieties with different periods about 3 weeks apart, and 3 times.
Sometimes, the last didn't mature but big deal. It was just for us (4 families).
And we used a hand planter we called a jobber. Every time we put a foot down, we jabbed it into the ground and put down a coupla seeds by opening and closing it by hand. If you've ever heard it, you'll never forget that rhythmic sound.
Back when we planted on our place here in Western Pennsylvania was a 2-0 planner that's over 20 years ago we used to start at planting time in the spring and plant about once a week for May through about the 4th of July we have corn ready from the time it started to mature and early August to a lot of years in October. I can remember one year when The neighbor kids were coming in to trick-or-treat we were eating sweet corn blew their parents mind that we had our own sweet corn that late in the season
Wow! That is definitely a fantastic sweet corn crop!
Corn, Zea mays, belongs to the Poaceae family, and while eaten sometimes as a vegetable and sometimes as a grain, it is actually classified by botanists as a fruit, as are tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, zucchini and other squashes.
That's pretty cool and I'm sure everyone will enjoy that. Giving back to the community should be done more by everyone if you have it to give
What a kind gesture made me cry what a great start to a tradition
Watching you guys give away a bucket load of corn reminds me of a time when we had feed organic feed corn in our fields. It was a good year so the yield was high. One of our fields is directly across the road from a little country store. We get a lot of tourism because we are adjacent to a large recreational lake. Well the temptation of all of that corn growing and ripe was too much for some of the tourists and they would come across the road and take some. I would have given them all they wanted but it was more entertaining to think how much they will have to cook the feed corn. By the time we harvested there were about 10 feet of plants stripped bare for about 100 feet. That was a fair amount of corn but it was worth it to think of how disappointing it would have been trying to eat it.
I must saw that my mouth was watering some when you took a big bite of one. Sweet corn is definitely one of life’s best things.
Love your channel.

Hello dear, thank you so much for that lovely comment. What's your name and where are you writing from?
I BET YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES AROUND GROWING SWEET CORN. WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT SHARE THEIR GOOD FORTUNE WITH OTHERS
😂😂😂😂😂
OKAY!!!!!
Aw, heck, out there in farm country, everyone has a garden.
Sweet corn is a must, of course.
Great job on your corn! Thanks for sharing your life with us and your ideas!
I am sure people enjoyed it all!😊
Great job guys, next time try it on a grill. Soak the ears in a bucket of water for 15 minutes, husk in and all. And then grill for 5 minutes on each side, taste great.
Laura, my sister-in-law, adds crushed Rosemary to season the corn while the water is boiling. It adds to the sweetness, which is how I enjoy sweet corn now.
Hello there 👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!!!❤
Sweet corn is really good in the microwave. You cut off the top and bottom of the ear. Then put in microwave for five minutes. Then pull husks and hair off. Really good!
I wrap the ears of corn in plastic wrap and nuke for 3 minutes...leave it wrapped until you are ready to eat...keeps hot for a good 1/2 hour
My grandmother used to always say “knee high by the 4th of July”, then we’d stop at a roadside farm stand and cook it for dinner!! So good!!
Oh my mouth started watering watching you guys pick your sweet corn. And you guys are so sweet to give it away free. Groceries stores will be selling all the goodies that go with that. So guess what? I took two ears out of my freezer and tonight I’m eating two ears for Supah! Oh I miss my days growing up on the farm, where we traded string beans and taters for corn!!!!! I’m 76 and crying about the days where all we ate was fresh foods!!!! 🥲😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

You folks work hard and you know how to have fun, I envy you.
The pure love and joy eminates from Laura in everything she does. So beautiful and heartwarming. Makes this ol' Iowa boy smile as he recalls his rural, midwestern upbringing. Great episode. Thanks to all three of you. Well done!
Also Iowa boy. I tell this to people and they look at me like I'm lying...mom had a big flat pan that she served sweet corn in. In it was a couple inches of warm bacon grease salt and pepper. We rolled the corn in it, sans butter, and ate it. I haven't done that since but I often think about doing it just to relive the memory. It was so good!
That was very generous of y'all giving the extra corn away, blessings to all of you.
Looks like the 3 of you had as much fun making this video as I had watching it. Good job!
Showing your kind heart. Your skills are great. Way to go making me hungry. Pretty much the corn season is over here where I live in Indiana. Keep it up and get ready for the harvest.
Giving back to the community, God bless you!
The blessings of a corn harvest. Sharing it with family, friends, and those that need a little bit of help. You went out of way and shared with a family or two of raccoons.👩🌾🐀🌽

Nebraska sweet 🌽 is the greatest. My dad worked for a farmer in western Nebraska. Got all the sweet corn we wanted to eat.
Well Laura I would have loved to come and get corn from you what is a bit of a long commute from Palm springs California and I think it's absolutely great that you gave a lot of that corn away there's a lot of folks that are very happy about that that's a good thing to do may God keep you and bless you grant add gauge and as usual you made me smile isn't that what it's all about 🤠😎🥰🤠
Coolest way of picking and give away...Do it again people are so not believing it and that is your best reward. Lots of love from Sweden
Enjoyed the visit, and really like sweet corn..!
Wish I was closer..would like to have gotten some!!
🌽🌽🐺🧙♂️🦊🌽🌽
I grown and sold Sweet Corn on our family farm as a young child, many years later at a Ranch Party with plenty of Corn, I do miss those old days.... :)

It was awes. I can b et it made your heart smile with your give away. Your grandpa is smiling down on you with a very big smile.
That is good stuff! Good for you guys. We need more people like you
I think it is so awesome that you gave away your corn! The corn looks so good! We love watching you guys ❤
if y'all have never grown sweet corn, a good reason is to try this: start the water boiling, send someone out to pick the corn and husk it on the way back and drop it in the water. That will stop the process at an earlier stage than when you get it at a market. Every minute different for about the first fifteen or twenty minutes after picking tastes completely different and the earliest is the best.

Hello dear, thank you so much for that lovely comment. What's your name and where are you writing from?
I learned a real effective way of buttering your corn. Grab a slice of bread butter it and them lay it in the palm of your hand in a u shape and run your corn through it. Nice of coating and real easy. Enjoy
Leave the corn in the shucks, microwave for one minute on high, flip it over and one more minute ( your time may vary ). Let it sit for 5 minutes or more to let the steam calm down. It don't get any easier than that folks!!
This world needs a lot more Laura’s and the gang
Possibly the Most "Positive Energy" people on Y/T. Thanks for sharing and in case our paths never cross please know that you have added some joy (and a whole bunch of education about Farming) to my life. I enjoy your videos. Many thanks. 😊
Good god your so great all of you. Thank you for being farmers.
If you don't want to fire up the grill, use the air fryer! Put a little olive oil on them and cook at 370 for 12 minutes turning once.
Love all your videos and you’re one of my favorite TH-cam channels that I follow. I would love to see a collaboration with one of my new favorite farmers Jackson Laux from Indiana. Continued success for you and Grant on your farm. 👏🏻🙏👍❤️
I have some great video of Laura driving Rory's crawler at Sand Hollow ! She has true grit .
Gage adds so very much to your content… As I’ve said before, “every farm needs a Gage.”
I grew 8 rows of peaches and cream corn this year in Estacada Oregon and harvested 400 ears.
@@bradspring8332 rows of peaches and cream corn eh?
That was so awesome you guys giving corn away, you will be blessed for doing that.
My Grandpa used to have corn roasts. He would soak the corn in a barrel of water for a few hours then put on the grill so that the corn would steam in the husks. When done the blackened husks would be removed and YA-HOO .....eatin grandpa's corn!
That's the best way for sure!!!
@@norm-nas and if you just pull back the husk you can use it as a handle!
I really enjoy watching you use the older equipment for different jobs
Next year use black paint for your sign its more easily read.
So proud to see u guys give away some corn, too. , random people , I hope u keep up the kindness towards others.❤ spread kindness always ❤🎉
