I have been watching Laura Farms since she had around 1000 subscribers and this makes it to my top three favorite Laura Farms Videos. My favorite will always be the first video where Laura gave us a tour inside the tractor cab. Number two was when Kale took Laura (and the other kids) flying. This is number three. Thank you Laura and Grant.
We had a 5 acre hobby farm sectioned off from the farmer, land owners property. It included a barn, machine shed, old implements and tillable soil. Grew lots of garden veggies and an acre of sweet corn. Also had about a 1/3rd of an acre in popcorn. We had so much produce that we had to sell it from the back of our 53 Chevy stakebed after school. Popcorn took longer, but produced many 5 lb bags for Christmas. A lot of work, hand weeding, but always gave us more than we could use. Good luck on whatever you grow. Blessings from God.
Such a Beautiful gesture! Trying out what our great grandparents and grandparents went through to keep food and milk in the bellies of folks is just Awesome! The work that they put into it is nothing like today and technology.🇺🇸🙏
I had a neighbor next to our dairy farm, 55-60 years back in time. That raised about 8-10 acres and sold it out along the highway. He never had any left over. The stalks were chopped up and spread along the hedge row to feed turkeys and deer and sometimes drawed in bear like a magnet.
Many years ago I lived in Sumner Co Tennessee and there was a sweet corn field across from the house. The farmer said we could have what we wanted after he was finished. Cant beat how good that corn was. Thank you both for making this video 💕
Awesome video as always. It is so wonderful to see you and Grant on your journey of farming, especially y'all intergrating the Old School Equipment, and doing things both new and old techniques. Maybe next year, y'all can plant that whole section of the back 40 in all three types of corn, Sweet, Indian, and Popcorn. You can sell some or give it away. Food for thought, y'all can search and maybe find an old grits or hammer mill and actually grind your own corn flour. Maybe even an old hand corn sheller. If you really wanna to some real old style farming. Harvest a small 1/2 or 1/4 acre by hand. Which is walking a row, using a corn knife to cut the stalks, put the in corn "shocks", let it finish drying, haul the shocks to the house, the shuck the corn, shell the corn, and then grind it to flour. That is really old school. And yes, I've done that and it's a lot of work but exciting work.
Laura and Grant. I compliment you twofer your generous actions! You two are amazing and I am not forgetting about Gage! Keep up the awesome work! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I sent many days driving a 4020 in the 70s and early 80s. Super dependable and a star in its day. The 6600 combine was the Cadillac of Combines in Georgia during that time period as well. Thank for stirring my memories.
Laura and Grant, I enjoyed watching you use the old farm machinery. If I remember correctly, some people were doubting that you were actually given the corn away free. Christmas fast approaching, have a very good Christmas, love from Mike. ❤❤❤
I so thoroughly enjoyed this video and the using of recaps and reviews in your last several posts, along with drone shots, is making you a very professional, movie producer. Although I started out red (International Harvester), I have spent thousands of hours on John Deere equipment like this. My cousin, who I worked for before I enlisted in the Army, sold aftermarket cabs like that on your gas 4020; and he also was a dealer for M&W parts, to include turbochargers. When you were cultivating, I really liked hearing the turbocharger on your diesel 4020 when you turned at the end of the rows. I didn't let my, city-girl wife cultivate corn or soybeans after I watched her tear-out a swath of crop with my 16-row cultivator hitched to our 4955 FWA John Deere when we farmed in the Illinois River bottoms; so, I did all of the cultivating myself. This was pre, auto-steer and GPS. Wished I was still delivering in Aurora with my semi-truck so I could have got some sweet corn and visited with you, Grant and Gage. And again, it is so enjoyable to watch your family, and Gage, being so excited about farming. ❤
I lived in northern Colorado for 25 years..South of me, about 30 miles was the town of Greeley,Co..Greeley has a large feedlot..and Orvil Reddenbackher has lots of acres planted in his good Popcorn..The ears are tiny and the kernels are roundish..BUT..pull out your jiffy pop, add butter, and pop yourself a batch..The best ever..Popcorn is an excellent idea..might be a local "market" for it as well.
Howdy from Texas! Thank you for the sweet corn documentary and the old, I'm sorry, vintage equipment rescue. Now I've started rescuing all my old implements, hay rakes, baler, haybine, trailers, dirt pan etc. all ab 50+ years old and a tractor or 2. Thank you for the inspiration it makes me appreciate and recall those old days with those pieces, God bless y'all and Merry Christmas from our farm to yours !!
Super cool with the retro machinery. As you guys plan future corn varieties (great idea), please speak to the science of what gives different corn varieties their characteristics. Outstanding video. Thank you. 👍🇺🇸🚜👏🏻
Your content is always interesting. Amazing how cleanly the old JD 6600 shelled the corn. With incredible modern advancements in planting, fertilizing, tillage and harvesting you show us that the old ways of farming are still relevant today. The old saying "the more things change the more they remain the same" rings true
I watched all year as you took us through this project. It was good then and nice to see you wrap it up with a play by play. Have a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Year. ❤🙏
I've been a fan for a few years now. You bring back memories from when my grandfather was a farmer in Washington. I look forward to your videos. BTW Grant is right about Corn being a fruit, it is formed in a flower and has seeds.
I also like your ideas about growing ALL different types of corn and comparing all of the different ways they grow and mature ...Gage is a very important part of your farm operation ...He is a BIG plus and a very nice young man ..Cant wait to see next year How you are able to expand your new ideas operation and make it a special part of your lives ...So many things to try out and share with us ...all new and different ...Sweet corn ,Popcorn ,Indian Corn and I"m sure others you will research over the winter months and surprise us all in the spring
I love watching your videos. You are living what I have only been able to dream of doing. I was unfortunately born and raised in the city but have always wanted to farm and raise most of my food and help my community.
This was one of the very best videos you've ever done it reminded me of a movie called secondhand Lions and there was one scene in there where somebody sold them a bunch of seeds and it was supposed to be all kinds of different vegetables but when you looked at their garden it was all nothing but corn everywhere you looked it is well worth watching it's funny how did Robert Duvall in it there was a comic in the papers one time that I believe this was movie was based off of it's worth a watch and it's a lot of fun and I'll tell you this is much fun as watching you guys do this corn 🤠😎🥰🤠
Oh, my, the memories this brought back! I drove a diesel 4020 back in the 60's when I worked on a farm during my teen years in NE Indiana. I would love to drive one again, but it will probably not happen. Thanks for the memories! Love from TX.❤
Really enjoyed the recap. Heard some dialogue that I missed on the original video. My vote - definitely do a similar project next year. I think the sweet corn should be part of it, you guys were having so much fun giving it away.
Hello Laura and Grant and Gage. Another great video which we have all come to expect. Every video is top notch and this one was no different. We all get excited when we see a new video from you guys. We get to experience what it takes to keep a farm going without having to experience all the hard work you guys put in. You know y’all are loved all over the world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved every minute of this. The most interesting thing to me was the occasional field corn kernel on a sweet corn ear thanks to a wandering grain of pollen. 🙂
Great vid. I always enjoy seeing the Laura Farms notification pop up 🎉 It’s oarsome to see young people work hard, enjoying the fruits (or vegetables) of their labours. Stay strong and keep on farming 🚜 From Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Great video. I appreciate how you conveyed your sweet corn planting, growing, and harvesting season into a story. I suggest that you try to grow Mushroom type popcorn next year.
Wow did I get serious Richard Scary vibes from this vid! I have "What Do People Do All Day" imprinted on my brain and the chapter about growing corn resonates so much with this story!!
Nice summary and recap on your 2024 sweet corn patch from grass/weed patch to fertile productive sweet corn acreage! Laura seem to have blast standing on the tractor and recycling old iron from the weed patch. So much fun to watch and appreciate the teamwork and dedication. For all the steps needed to plant, cultivate, drone fertilize, water, harvest and then market your” free” sweet corn patch.
I am so very excited to see what is next for your channel and to watch and follow you along as you try out planting and harvesting all of these different types of corn 🌽 I love all of your videos and I'm really looking forward for your next one!
I bought an old implement dealership building over 20 years ago. A neighbor has always planted 48 rows of sweetcorn using his propane powered equipment in one area. Lots of people from around the neighborhood have been invited by him to come pick it when it ripens. Unfortunately this year, the elevator put weed killer on it instead of fertilizer and ruined the entire crop for the year. A lot of very disappointed people when that happened. Hopefully next year it is back to normal. Love the fresh of the cob taste of sweet corn when it is at its peak!!
Yes plant some popcorn, when I was in high school there in Central City there was a farmer just outside of Chapman NE that was the only crop he grew and sold to a few different popcorn distributors Watching you guys has made my year Good luck in 2025 I hope the Lord blesses you and your family
To test an electric fence take a long stem of grass at least 18 inches long. Hold one end in your hand and place the other end of the grass on the wire as far away from your hand as possible. Slide the stem closer and closer to your hand. As you do so you will begin to just feel a tickle on your hand. When you feel that tickle you know the fence is working. Have fun!!
Laura Farms is a great example of what is right with America. Keep up the great work!

She will have a million subscribers one day. Lucky you knew her when.
❤che fica che ai ❤❤❤
@@millardiii, same here!
Yummy
I really enjoy how you went back to the older equipment vs new computerized your grandpa would be very proud Laura

Popcorn took longer, but produced many 5 lb bags for Christmas. A lot of work, hand weeding, but always gave us more than we could use. Good luck on whatever you grow. Blessings from God.
The old equipment is the best part of this channel
Must say this is making 70+ year old me feel even older than I should, remember these as state of the art, cutting edge machines
Such a Beautiful gesture! Trying out what our great grandparents and grandparents went through to keep food and milk in the bellies of folks is just Awesome! The work that they put into it is nothing like today and technology.🇺🇸🙏
My uncle used to grow an acre of sweet corn. When it was ready, people would come and help themselves. Nothing better than fresh picked corn!
I had a neighbor next to our dairy farm, 55-60 years back in time. That raised about 8-10 acres and sold it out along the highway. He never had any left over. The stalks were chopped up and spread along the hedge row to feed turkeys and deer and sometimes drawed in bear like a magnet.
What you did with the sweet corn growing and giving some away was one of your best videos all year .... IMO.... Feeding families
Many years ago I lived in Sumner Co Tennessee and there was a sweet corn field across from the house. The farmer said we could have what we wanted after he was finished. Cant beat how good that corn was. Thank you both for making this video 💕
You're such a kind human being for sharing your life and harvest with others. Thank you so much ❤😊
Thanks!

I have to say….i had a smile on my face watching this entire clip. You three are simply the best and so much fun to watch. Corn On! ❤
Laura and grant I loved the sweet corn and old equipment segments. You guys are awesome ✌️
Laura and Grant, I enjoyed watching you use the old farm machinery. If I remember correctly, some people were doubting that you were actually given the corn away free.
Christmas fast approaching, have a very good Christmas, love from Mike. ❤❤❤
My favorite trio! Always enjoy your channel.....learn so much!

Really cool to see the whole process in one video! You are a great storyteller Laura!
Enjoyed watching every minute. Thank you for sharing this with me. ❤
That was very cool to watch this season! Your parents raised both of you right! God is good!
You’ve got such a unique presence, I adore it.
I see ya alkota boiler machine!
Serious cleaning, I've got an old one electric driven pump motor w diesel boiler bad to the bone
That was a very successful harvest. Fantastic job to Laura Farms.
Its fun to see how much you guys enjoy farming and sharing your journey with us all. God Bless!
I watched all year as you took us through this project. It was good then and nice to see you wrap it up with a play by play. Have a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Year. ❤🙏
Great video seeing all that old equipment !
I've been a fan for a few years now. You bring back memories from when my grandfather was a farmer in Washington. I look forward to your videos. BTW Grant is right about Corn being a fruit, it is formed in a flower and has seeds.
Awesome job this year my wife and I kept up with al of your videos.
Keep up with the spirit of farming and enjoy

Merry Christmas and happy New Year. I enjoy your videos and watching you all work the farm. Thank you all😊
I love watching your videos. You are living what I have only been able to dream of doing. I was unfortunately born and raised in the city but have always wanted to farm and raise most of my food and help my community.
Thanks for the Video totally Enjoyed!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
hi and hope you and Grant have a great Christmas from My family to yours 🎄🎁🌿🍒
This was one of the very best videos you've ever done it reminded me of a movie called secondhand Lions and there was one scene in there where somebody sold them a bunch of seeds and it was supposed to be all kinds of different vegetables but when you looked at their garden it was all nothing but corn everywhere you looked it is well worth watching it's funny how did Robert Duvall in it there was a comic in the papers one time that I believe this was movie was based off of it's worth a watch and it's a lot of fun and I'll tell you this is much fun as watching you guys do this corn 🤠😎🥰🤠
This was a fun video, some of us still farm with these classics every day.
Oh, my, the memories this brought back! I drove a diesel 4020 back in the 60's when I worked on a farm during my teen years in NE Indiana. I would love to drive one again, but it will probably not happen. Thanks for the memories! Love from TX.❤
From beginning to end...what an awesome recap😊
Great video!!! One of my favorites. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas!
So relatable to see you standing while operating the tractor.
Loved the video, showing the old farm machinery in action...still working as good as when new....thanks for showing them and see you soon
You can’t beat the old tractors that used to farm the land back in the day 😊
Merry Christmas to you
IThanks for joining me at lunch with this video guys!
I really enjoyed watching this again. Corn is my favorite food to eat!
Really enjoyed the recap. Heard some dialogue that I missed on the original video. My vote - definitely do a similar project next year. I think the sweet corn should be part of it, you guys were having so much fun giving it away.

Love Laura ❤️ video hi Grant Gage you kids are great American farmers 💯🇺🇸💪💛💙❤️🙏
Wonderful video! My vote for next season: 12-rows sweet (like this year), 6-rows Indian and another 12-rows popcorn. Let the games begin!
Hey baby girl hope you are doing well and smiling much
Laura sweetheart I know that it is you liking my comments so when you going to open up and talk to me I would treat you like a queen baby girl
Nice to see the difference in our heritage machinery and current equipment (drones :)!
Hope to see you drive in the "Off Road Games" this year!
This was a very nice well made video. Thank you.
Great video. I appreciate how you conveyed your sweet corn planting, growing, and harvesting season into a story. I suggest that you try to grow Mushroom type popcorn next year.
SWEET
From vintage tractors to drones-old meets new on the farm! 🐝🚁 Sweet corn patch fertilized in 3 minutes? Amazing! (21:43)
Mill the sweet corn, it makes the best corn bread. Great corn meal. We used to combine a little just for gifts.
As always keep up the good work Laura every video that you put out is always so inspirational and positive in full of good vibes
Wow did I get serious Richard Scary vibes from this vid! I have "What Do People Do All Day" imprinted on my brain and the chapter about growing corn resonates so much with this story!!

Great video Laura and Grant thank you
Yes plant some popcorn, when I was in high school there in Central City there was a farmer just outside of Chapman NE that was the only crop he grew and sold to a few different popcorn distributors

Outstanding episode👍👍👍
This video was so cool ! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Charleston,SC.
The first John Deere I ever used was a 2510. But, the oldest was a good old Model A, “Poppin Johnny.” We used it primarily for raking hay.
