You don't need make up. It covers the real true Beauty you hold.
So very true such a pretty lady Lawrence your a lucky man
So true!!!
Meridith , tell you what I think most folk like , you being a wonderful human being . What a great example you and your family are in showing what country folk are. Generous, caring and plain old fashioned kind hearted
I like that moment in the mule ride were Austin looks at her dad then looks at you with a smile like yeah that is my dad and he is great!
Lady if you think you need make-up you're crazier than hell
I agree with that comment
I agree too
I agree.
I agree So Much Natural Beauty!!!!!
You are very pretty before makeup so go natural. You and L.B.and kid's are a joy to watch. Very nice family. And work well together.
I think we should call it “Lawrence-isms” he’s forgot more than most people will ever learn.
Where in the hell could you could find 7 people that would give a thumbs down to this precious family!!! Par for the 2020 course and I’m sick of it!!!
It’s probably 7 people he’s shocked in the past ahaha
To my observations less than 1% thumbs down is very rare on youtube. Very good videos usually have 2% thumbs down. 3% thumbs down are generally good videos.
Lawrence you never cease to amaze me, you are a fountain of knowledge.
Meridith thank you for your post they really do make my day.
I love how Austin is such a Daddy's Girl the way she looks at him and hangs on every word is adorable....
I noticed same thing . Awesome :)
Lawrence is the man, I sure do enjoy his stories.
And Yes, that DC Can work wonders for many types of venom ( not for all, but can be very effective for many IF applied soon enuf ).
Meredith, your videos are very enjoyable. Your such a beautiful person, very kind. Yeah I really enjoy farm/homesteading videos. It reminds me of home. ❤☝️🤪
Thank you.
Be well dear and have a lovely day.
When you asked Austin if she would like to be shocked and she shook her head yes....pretty sure she meant it 😁 Wesley is just like his daddy doesn’t say much but when he does it’s to the point and I solute him for it😉
You got that one right she don't need no makeup she's the real deal like that take my word for it
Lawrence is right, when I was working in the woods in the northwest, I got hit by a rattler, our side rod took a wire and hooked it to the spark plug of a chain saw, shocked the hell out of me, but by the time I got to the hospital {2 hours later}, the swelling had almost dissapeared.
One day your kids are going to look back and treasure all this family time. Even though it's hard work they will realize what a difference it made in their lives. And Meredith making all these videos not only allows you to share with all of us, but you'll be able to share with your kids and their kids for years to come. You're a great family and I love watching your videos.
I am a 63 year old true country boy and I do love the responses you get from Lawrence at times. Mainly since they are just what I would say as well. Most of the time, he says almost the same thing that pops into my head when you ask him something. I enjoyed watching and listening to you both when you changed your truck's oil....
I shared your video with my wife. She also agrees that you are absolutely adorable and Lawrence is an excellent example of what a man, father, husband and provider should be. She loved the family and the way you all farm and family together. Our kids were homeschooled and she wondered if you homeschooled your kids too. She is now hooked on your videos. She calls them wholesome, uplifting, and says the world needs more families being raised like you and Lawrence are doing it. She also said Lawrence is adorable too. Thank your family for us please! Oh, you also said "I praise Jesus for it". Thank you for being real and speaking from the heart. You and your family are awesome embassadors for real family life.
I have been telling people about your videos and your "spread butter not hate" sticker. They are going to find you on you tube and subscribe.
You have a heart as big as Texas . You are a very special woman !
Love hearing Lawrence tell stories, that is dang interesting about the shocking to make the swelling go down, love how the whole family gets involved in the chores.
You can see the peace on your kids faces when they are with Daddy
Farming ain't easy it's a full time job and then some.
Breakfast is good anytime of day
You truly are blessed. God will be with you because you are a good person , wife and mother.
And God's children said AMEN!
A quick way to fill those holes on the gate and stop the wasps is a can of spray foam. Stick the straw in there and spray, the wasps will get stuck in it if they try to come out right away and then the foam will get hard. Just have somebody watching for other holes you might not see where wasps could be trying an end-around-sweep! (football fans will understand)
The people of Iowa are grateful. The storm just barely missed me. But we have many friends and kinfolk who were affected. The devastation is real.
That really does look like a lovely little town! No snakes in Ireland, well, apart from the ones on two legs... We have a few of those alright...
"Home again, home again, jiggetty jog". Reminders of my youth in Eastern Canada in the late '50's. That was our song whenever we would pull into the driveway. Thanks for the memories!
Me too! My mom always said it!
There is no improving natural beauty, as I said once before your beauty goes to the Bone. Some people's beauty is only skin deep and the Ugly goes to the Bone. Your love for your family and your on husband is remarkable. Lawrence does all this work and jerry-rig stuff so he can save money spend on his family and farm smart man. I died laughing when I saw Lawrence shock you while he was holding onto you. I'm electrician little advice to Lawrence don't hold on to the one you're shocking. As usual love y'all God bless you enjoy seeing you on TH-cam
Yeah he said he got shocked more than me 😅
I had to laugh at Bonnie she sat down to listen to Laurence, lost concentration and then wandered off. Great little dog and even greater family..I never fail to enjoy your content.
You are a very special woman and your husband is a very lucky man to have somebody like you , God bless your whole family
It does work - I've seen it work.
I use copper pennies to neutralize bee/wasp/yellow jacket stings - copper neutralizes formic acid in the bee sting. According to some friends, if you're allergic to the stings use the shock method & take Benedryl.
I worked at an animal park & our snake man got rattlesnake bit. The guys used the plug wire on the riding lawnmower to shock his finger - shocked him 3 times. Doctor was expecting to have to amputate his finger, but it was barely swollen and bruised. Doctor wrote a paper documenting this as an effective treatment and sent it in to a medical journal for publishing - not sure which one.
Tasers are popular in way out regions in central & South America to deal with venom. You're days away from a small clinic, much less a hospital. You do what you gotta do.
I'm just now watching these videos. Mr Lawrence is my daddy made over. He talks just like him. I can understand everything he says. He passed away in 69 when I was 11 year old. Love watching videos where I can understand everything everybody is saying.😁
Lawrence is just like me wash my hands at the kitchen sink. Awesome
Note to self : Never ever, ever sneak up on Meredith dressed as a mattress!!
Thanks for the town tour....it was beautiful.
Also you are doing great work for the Iowa community....you’re an angel.
Hope your finger is better....if LB suggests putting on one of those bull bands don’t fall for it ! Smiley emoji.
🤣🤣🤣
4:22 Glad to see the monument standing still. So many historical statues torn down lately around the country.
You made a comment about not having makeup on....trust me when I say you do not need makeup....you have a natural beauty.
You and Lawrence's life as relatively small farmers and ranchers is typical these days. It takes an extra source of income to make it financially. Your TH-cam, Photography and other Ventures are an amazing asset. I admire your perseverance to make a life doing the things you obviously love. My guess is you were a heck of a feed salesman. On another note I would love to see fields, crops and pasture in as good shape in central Texas where I live as they appear in your area. It is dry, dry and dryer here. Thank You for sharing your family and life with us who will never see that style of living again.
October 29,2023’. Meredith,Lawrence,Wesley and Austin Bernard you are an awesome farming family. Farming is a 24/7 job with a never ending caught up life. I also enjoy watching you cook. My granny made biscuits like and she taught me how too. Thanks again for sharing your videos and I Pray God’s Blessings for all of y’all 👍👍🙏🙏🇺🇸. Lawrence you are not crazy because when I was a little girl my grandaddy did that for a snake bite. Some old people back in the days would cut an x across a snake bite and suck out the poison and after a couple of days that person was ok. Bee sting put honey on the place somebody got stung and it draws out the poison and pain. Just stay away from bees after putting the honey on the sting area! 👍👍
First you don’t need makeup, Second when you check the oil, wipe the oil off the oil stick, put back in and recheck the dip stick. There’s a safe zone on the stick.
hi meredith im doug from australia ,i have subsribed to 15 you tube channels from the usa. i look to see your vloggs every day ,you are my favourite ,because you and your family are true farmers in the sense you dont bragg about the the biggest and the best machinery or owning large acerage keep the good work up ,
On the gates, I put silicon in the holes that are under the ends, wasps like to build nests in them.
Good idea
That is seriously a great idea , an not expensive :)
Great stuff foam insulation
Hi Meredith. Sending love and blessings your way. It's always real on the farm! As always, great video! ~ Rick
I wish I knew half the stuff Lawrence does . His knowledge cant be learned it has to be lived .
Hats off sir !!!
I cant wait for somebody to get stung around here , they will be getting shocked .
DC of course.
Thanks for putting my water in there.
God bless you Meredith from we the people from Iowa, 27 counties were effected and several worse that others. The Damage path start around Jefferson, Iowa in Central Iowa and was 150miles wide by 792 miles long. In some areas the corn has been laid flat like ankle high and grain bins and machine shed have been leveled along with some hotels and apartment buildings scattered across the state. Around Marshaltown to Cedar Rapids was probably the worst area but I would say the crops are almost at a 100% Ioss across half the state.
@Allan Hunter I think it was about a week ago now. They are calling it a derecho which I guess means straight line
Need Calcium from chickin egg shells or oyster shells worked into the soil at planting time to stop blossom end rot. cut the root end off a white or yellow onion and rub it on a wasp or bee sting, and that will stop the pain. the white juice from a onion root end is codeine, and stops the pain....
Austin is pretty like her mom who blooms in every situation
Lawrence you may be on to something. In nature, all malodors have a negative charge on the molecular level. The plants that are effective in neutralizing that odor have a positive charge on their molecular level. I enjoy your family and watching all they are learning.
By the way, Lawrence's 100% correct about treating snake bites with a shock of DC current. I've used a wire hooked up to a coil on a vehicle and a wire hooked on a gas lawnmower engine to treat bites on my hunting dogs and friends.
Buddy of mine here in Florida raises hunting dogs of all sorts. He keeps a extra really long sparkplug wire. And when a dog is bitten he'll ground the dog to the battery of the truck with a wire ( a little moisture usually beer for added assistance) and will run the sparking wire, truck running of course, all around where the pup was bitten. Claims he hasn't lost a pooch since he started doing that over 30 years ago. Never heard it working on wasp and bee stings (we always used chewing tobacco) but I'll try it next time I get stung. Thanks for reminding me about it. And thanks for sharing your farming life with us.
Hey Y’all!
Oh my gosh - i'm surprised!
So many words from Lawrence, it was really interesting and exciting to listen to him!
I 💛 your family and I am always happy when new videos come to watch!
🙏 God bless and protect you! 🌄
Iowa storm , Meredith thank you so very much in helping those farmers , you are an angel ! This is why your family & videos are outstanding , keep up the great job , you are so popular & positive ! Stay safe ! Bob
💛💛💛
"Big Win".....no money involved.....Lawrence is really a wise AND funny Farmer!
The facial expressions you make, make me smile and now a days there's so little to smile about. THANKS!! Thank you Lawrence for sharing her with us.
Lawrence is getting more use to the camera, that’s good keep the videos coming. 🇺🇸🚜🧡🇺🇸🚜🧡
My mother went to a one-room school house like Poteat from kindergarten to sixth grade. She was the youngest of 13 children of a farming family. Her mother passed from complications after giving birth to my mother. My grandfather, now a widower, tried to have the school take my mom when she was three basically to babysit, they took her at four. All the kids worked the farm soon as they were able. God bless.
Meredith.... Makeup doesnt matter when you are a natural beauty. With a lot of people beauty is only skin deep but with you it goes all the way through and that makes it so real. It is easy to see the beauty in you. I think the most beauty showed through when you were talking about helping the Iowa farmers......you can see the beauty in your heart and those tears that well up in your eyes show it is real. You are blessed my Dear and the world is blessed to have you in it. Is there ways we can donate to your fund to help the Iowa farmers? Im sure many good people just like yourself are affected. During these times of rioting and looting it makes you appreciate the people that really show what this country is
Brenda Garnett keeps her flour in a bowl and makes her biscuits that way bakes them in her flat cast iron in a 500 degree oven too.
A lot of my friends put long stakes in the ground close to the tomato plants, and as they grow taller, they gently tie the plants to the stake, and this keeps them off the damp ground, so they never rot.
You know farmers are darn good mechanics. And sometimes their wives are to anyway really good helpers. God Bless y'all from the panhandle of Texas. Keep up the good vids
Love Bonnie we lost are sweet little heeler couple of years ago
Remember to bring a few paper towels and white (clear) vinegar for the wasp/yellow jacket stings. hold the soaked towell on the sting for 10 minutes, no reaction !
My dad used to chew Cogenhagen snuff. He'd put a chewed up wad of that on a bee stink. Worked every time. Stinging gone in 5 minutes. Just stunk like hell
It's true, I have a video on my channel showing how I do it!!!
Love listening to LB tell stories!!!
Meredith, I think I've posted this before, but here goes again.
I you take one of the propane torches that have the self igniter and only squeeze the trigger part way, that should turn on the gas flow. If you take that torch and place the tip in the hole that the wasps or hornets are accessing to their nest, partially squeeze the trigger, count to 8, then squeeze the trigger it will ignite the propane and cause a small explosion inside the tube killing the bees. It works better than the diluted sprays being sold today.
If you continue to have a reaction to the stings, you should see a doctor to prescribe an Epipen, as you could go into anaphylactic shock where your throat swells up and you aren't able to breath.
I’m sure that works good! Just don’t have all of that with us when we feed. I’ll watch for more reactions though
I love hearing the stories Lawrence has to tell!! I’m sure he has a ton of them!
I had a tomboy today she's 50 years old, I miss that little girl. Austin reminds me of her.
That’s the most words i have ever heard the farmer speak, keep getting him to tell his stories love listening to him
Yup those grain bins...They were the ones i was referring to a bit back when i asked where they were..lol They are gonna be super helpful.👍
Super cute lil town. ❤ Thanks for the little walkabout. Pretty neat!!🌻
Mr. Bernard is a true old time farmer. And Mrs. Bernard you are a gorgeous lady. Mr. Bernard is very very blessed and lucky man.
I love the history of NC it's amazing how much they have gone through.
To fix the clutch gap on the tractor compressor, take out the bolt in the center of the ac cluth flex plate, and pull the flex plate off. There are shims behind the plate that will allow you to set the gap between the flex plate and the pulley.
Great video, enjoy seeing the places you went to in the first part of the show. Thanks for taking the time to show me your world.
Your daughter is so cute . I love seeing her helping her dad such memories
Lovely video from a talented family. Awesome! Thank. Blessings
i love how you talk southern talk.you guys are awsome the real deal..dinner looks good

Meredith you are so humble,and tender hearted.Your so appreciative and caring.God has definitely blessed you with some great gifts and talents.
Thank you 💛
Great Video!! Thanks for all y’all sharing your family experiences!
I look forward to these videos. Just watching y’all farming with the good and bad is great. God bless y’all.
Our farm family loves watching yours!! My farmer husband so enjoys hearing anything Lawrence has to say. They think the same. Farmers are “cut from the same cloth”. God is good to have blessed us both with Farmer Husbands!!
On the Gates we use the cans of crack fill foam. Just a little squirt in the holes, the foam expands and the wasp can’t get back in. Being a gate boss myself I have to help myself every opportunity possible and it’s an inexpensive way to keep the nest builders out!!
God’s Hand of protection over you all!!
The Double W Farm - Indian Land, SC
I am so glad he told his story it will come in handy around here. We have alot of copperheads around here. A big thank you for telling your story.
Natural beauty is much better than beauty out of a bottle !!! Thanks for a great watch, Cliff
It’s so cool to see you hold them tears back . I know how it feels .
Y'all are the Most down to Earth Folks I follow. Kudos to You and Lawrence for how Respectful and Humble your children are.
Great family footage and I really enjoyed Dr. Bernard treating your finger. Thank you for the view of the county courthouse and the historical sites and the beautiful sunset. Bless the Bernard family.
Been some time since I last logged on to your site, Your still hard at it and having the best time of your life in the prosses. your outpouring of faith and helping the community is a pleasant sound in these days. bless you and your family--keep it up!!!
I remember reading many stories about men getting snakebit in South & Central America where they were many hours or days from a hospital and they used the spark plug on the outboard motor on their boats to neutralize the venom. They swore by it because they didn't have time to get to a Dr. for treatment.
Another busy day on the farm! I thank you for doing all the work promoting ag ! My father did a lot in farm bureau and I know it take time and energy not to mention money! Enjoyed LB story of the snake bite cure! Didn’t know that one! God bless
Hello to you down on the farm, Be careful of this pandemic it is rife in North Carolina at the moment. Please take care. We love watching this farm wife. We love yous. Henry Wilson in Clitheroe Lancashire England.
Nice little town, especially the courthouse. We love the South.
That is such a gorgeous historical little town!! AWEDOME👍😉,, thanks for the tour of your town😣💕
Meredith! you make my day...Thanks for the uplift.
Meredith I look forward to y'all's channel everyday it's very much fun and learning about farming in life and having a good thank you for the videos
Meredith it's nice that DR Bernard shared the shock treatment for Sting's and bites and he is not crazy enjoyed your comment about thought all you did was farming 👍 like that is easy well it's not like it's a 9 to 5 job with weekends off thanks for all the time you spend making videos and sharing your wonderful family with everyone
I am so happy for the way y'all are raising your children. Hard work makes enlightened, courteous, courageous, and strong willed men. To know a hard days work, it to know ones appreciation for life, liberty, justice, and how to enjoy the small and subtle things in life. Like the gaze of a red sunset.
More Lawrence stories....he is a wonderful human being. As you all are. I love hearing him share his wisdom.
Beautiful walk-around!! It truly is a hidden gem!!
Hope you and your family are having a blessed day
I'm from Iowa glad to see and hear of people helping out with this.
Happy to do anything I can. I’m so humbled by how people are giving 😭💛
Your an amazing lady , you have all the tools needed right in your mind to keep everyone watching your day to day life . I’m a guy and i even enjoy your videos . Your a normal country girl sharing you life to others . Thanks for what you do .
Meridith, go to Walmart, get a bag of southern biscuit mix, just add milk or buttermilk, mix and no mess, I just throw mine on a cookie sheet and spread it out,throw in oven and throw on table,call it pone bread, they break off a piece and they are great, trey it , you'll like it.
