It's hard to describe, but after driving a car carrier, here in Southern California, all day, watching you two scrape dirt, is extremely satisfying! Your videos, of you two farming, are such a nice escape from the busyness of the fast pace here. Thank you. Keep it up!

[@dickhumble4610]

You and Grant always have the best time together. Pray that never changes. Praying for Grandpa.

[@buzzadams7876]

Laura and Grant, you should read up on RG LeTourneau who invented the scraper years ago and leveled fields in California. Before he invented the “pan” dirt had to be dragged and not carried and scrapers had to be operated by two men not one. The guy was a genius, pretty much The Godfather of modern earthmoving machines.

[@alwhisenant5309]

Just about brought tears to my eyes when Laura thanked her Great Grandpa, Grandpa, and Dad. Sweet girl and thoughtful.

[@texan2u]

Wow ! Nebraska is almost "as flat" as West Texas ? If your dog runs away from home, you can watch him go for 2 days - 3 days in Texas !

[@wheeln00]

11:48 - 12:16 It's nice seeing the two of you on screen and working together. Cute couple.

[@albreitenfeldt9328]

My college soil fertility professor said dirt is what you find under the bed. Soil is for growing crops. :)

[@sterlingspencer2934]

Mine too

[@baileycaristo1948]

Mine did to, funny thing is these guys have never farmed a bean in their life

[@FreedomRock44]

OHHHHH MY DAY IS MADE GRANT AND LAURA....THE RED TRUCK LIVES!!!!! I LOVE THAT THING! JUST SAYS YEP I AM A TRUCK IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!!!!!!! Grant next time a walk around please!!!? Oh and a start up...sounds awesome!!!

[@atelierhcp]

You are a really outstanding girl, hardworking, happy, cute. It's amazing that something like you still exists today. Warm greetings from Germany!

[@tomtucker8849]

Laura is not a something she is a someone.

[@atelierhcp]

@@tomtucker8849 You're right, mistranslated! In German it is possible to say "etwas wie Dich", but I am still learning that literally translating is sometimes stupid.

[@billmoran3812]

I’m with you, Laura. Hate mice. I was on an open tractor about 20 years ago and had one run up inside the leg of my jeans! You don’t forget that! Good work with the scraper. Those are a bit tricky to run.

[@EdGrob1]

My new favorite expression: "Oh my goodness!" LOL

[@aaronrexius3204]

This year we moved 800 thousand yards of sand with 627 push pull scraper's it does get old .. lol Biulding a feedlot extension here in Eastern Wyoming.

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Thank you both & have a great day

[@redeemerpresbyteriandesmoines]

My dad worked for the Soil Conservation Service in Central City. His career was helping farmers smooth out their fields to limit erosion. Nice to see you all talk about moving soil to shore up low spots.

[@johnensminger7675]

Looks like fun!! Like your channel, Laura! Nice variety!🙂

[@obroberts5929]

So like something REALLY funny happened while I was watching some of your videos. I couldn't figure it out, I mean sometimes I'd see you guys and at other times it would be some other people. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out the whole family, who was who and what not! Believe it or not, the light finally dawned.. I started out watching some "Laura Farms" and then next I realized that what I was watching was, "Larson Farms" in Minnesota, but it still didn't hit me till I got back on your channel and didn't know where the other people had gone, when Laura said something about Nebraska and BOOM! Right then I realized that I was not in Kansas anymore..😂🤣 They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and I guess their right.. I get lost on or in this information hiway, so maybe I am to old to be taught. Oh for an old Ford tractor, a 6' disc, a three bottom plow and a manure spreader.

[@FreedomRock44]

Primo Laura!!! Good scrapping! Grant I was thinking what you just said....Two days of that and my neck and back would be frozen locked!!!!

[@ryburnsjr]

Nicely done...keep up the great work !!😀😀

[@lockedin60]

Moving dirt and going back and forth seems like a mind numbing experience. Reminds me of a summer job I had back in the summer of 1975. I worked for a Metal Products company. One of their products was road signs for the state of North Carolina. One of my jobs was watching gigantic road signs move down a conveyer belt and watch the signage paint dry. The signs moved about 5 inches every 45 seconds. I mentally sang verses to songs I knew. Once again mind numbing.

[@FreedomRock44]

Tell Grandpa Sea Bees Rule everyone else drools!!!!! Get em Grandpa!!!!!!

[@Maxid1]

I just had a rat speed out of a construction barrier to go through a chain link fence across the sidewalk. You could hear he got a firm connection with his face and head in that chain link fence.

[@RickyVentures]

Hello from Minnesota! Pumpkin Smashing fun.

[@bradh5629]

guys get a sweet back facing camera with a decent size monitor and save your necks. I know it probably won't work with everything but with this scraper I think you could manage or at least cut the amount of times you turn around to look by a lot. I have the same trouble on my tractor when pulling any rear implement. Thankfully I don't ever use it all day like you do. Love the channel!

[@faithjay8393]

Small world. My parents grew up in the aurora/Hampton area. My grand parents had a farm about a mile from Zion church. 🤙🤙

[@davidfitwe]

If you want to see Hill farming with no irrigation needed, you should check out the Palouse area of Idaho and Washington State. I would recommend a KZbin Farmer in the area but I haven't been able to fine one.

[@FreedomRock44]

Yesssssssss Laura Farms MAIL..........EXCELLENT.........PARTY TIME.......LAURA MAIL.!!!!! ZOOM CAMERA IN AND OUT HERE!!!!! Okay now you can open them.....UNPAUSE!!!!!

[@stevecraig6417]

That black rich soil is awesome!

[@badzioch64]

Keep a spray bottle with windshield washer fluid in it and a sqeegee in the tractor

[@davidkettell6236]

i feed the birds black sunflower seeds in the winter and have sunflowers popping up all over come summertime.

[@RGRGJKK]

Pura vida Laura great job in my country farms are amazing because those farms coexist with nature and forest like a natural ecosystems maybe one day you could visit a farm from my country pura vida

[@brianwaskow5910]

That pipe looks like a surveyor's pipe marker.

[@LiquidLuke]

That' tool is called a 'pan'. Someone will be looking for that surveyors pin one day.

[@terrypainter4745]

Please, Please, Please, buy a couple of Mics, 2 so Grant can have 1 as well plus the wind device so we can hear you talking even with the wind. LOVE Your Videos!! Thank You!!!

[@jaessongee8864]

Look's like the old truck need a day in the workshop with a mig welder. lol🤠👍

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

[@FreedomRock44]

Nice Laura has 4 wheel steer!!!!

[@hoitranvan2419]

I LOVE YOUR FARM..! GREAT

[@danielblack7977]

On the scraper, could you mount a simple rear view camera system, so you'd have a small screen on front dash area?

[@Paul-cz1cg]

Not to shabby, great 🙃

That's my girl Laura.....I was saying out loud put the other end in first and you beat me to it.

[@alanjacobson6673]

I myself was in Hilo for 2 weeks in the middle of June

[@kirkreusch8415]

Mice? On a farm!? Nooooo! I doubt there would be many at all! Lol. Great channel guys.

[@ruralconservative6625]

😂

[@floorpizza8074]

8:14 You guys just became pumpkin farmers! ; )

[@millcrafters]

You guys are fantastic. Love, love, love watching this channel.

[@robertgordon5562]

Beautiful dirt, we have a lot of red clay in the southeast.

[@hawkeye1836]

....and Granite~~EVERYWHERE !!!!! Can't spit without hitn' ah rock !!!!

[@ismailgedik4518]

super girl laura bless you I admire your courage may god protect you from the evil eye greetings from turkey regards

[@ronb1143]

Going to have volunteer pumpkins next year. LOL

[@doubleglfarms9750]

That will make a beautiful field! Doesn’t it feel good to have all that metal picked up out of the field…cleaning it up? Your followers obviously love you, Laura! Blessings from your neighbors to the south!

[@kylewilliams956]

Awsome tractor

[@dagusiafl9445]

Wow ale ładne dynie 🎃

[@lilfarmerboi6527]

Love your vids

[@InquisitiveSearcher]

In my day we most likely would have used about a 4 bottom moldboard plow to move the crest of dirt away from center and then used a disk to even things out a bit. Using a scraper seems to be a bit over the top. But it does give you the opportunity to distribute the dirt to low spots which the plow method doesn't give you. As for the mice problem, I recently saw a video on a channel by Shawn Woods (who tests mouse traps), a trap called the "The Flip and Slide" which looked like it would work wonderfully. Buy 4 of them and put them in several locations of the barn/shop.

[@zeroquanta4252]

,,,,,,,,,,,, She's doing it again??? Maybe Laura, you should make a calendar of the farmgirls,,, NYFARMGIRLS thinks she's god's gift to cuteness already....

[@nikolaitownsend1239]

What hydraulics control the dirt pan? Great video.

[@gungadinn]

You guys need a few large shop cats that grow up on the farm so they don't stray. If cats are out, watch some Shawn Woods Mouse trap Mondays video's, as he has a knack for finding the best mouse traps made in the last 100 years.

[@Double.J]

If Laura hates mice and rodents, she should get a farm cat or two. They’ll take care of them for ya.

[@jakepriest4282]

Punkin planting!

[@valdria39]

I love you Chanel you are The best farmer

[@mikeariagno2014]

I have learned so much about farming, having fun, and remembering to smile while going through life. Thank you

[@ronaldcarter9860]

Another enjoyable video Laura...you and Grant work so well together...thx for taking me (us) along with you...your farming segments are so interesting...

[@BrentDnD]

I'm just curious how close your farms are to each other.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Laura and Grant that was really great loved it can't wait for the next one thank you for sharing and your time enjoyed it very much.

[@scottrichardson999]

Good to see you and Grant expanding your acres. Good luck to both of you going forward with your farming life. Always enjoy your videos

[@junkorbust9498]

You can use the stops to make a nice clothes line.

[@bigscout1584]

Dang girl those tick tock pants looking fly

[@87ricer]

Awesome

[@EtzEchad]

If you hate mice, you are in the wrong business. :) That scraping looks like a lot of work. To get the whole field level must take years.

[@Q8Bart]

Hello sunshine 😉

[@FormerJSOC]

See. Farming is FUN! {when Monsanto ain't stealing your soybean seed}

[@floorpizza8074]

7:00 That Yeti Would look great with a Laura Farms logo on it. Might be a good addition to your merch store?

[@Hoosier60]

7000 more additional subscribers needed for Laura Farms for 2021. Nice to see you use the soil scraper and solve two issues for yourself. Prepare land for future farm usage, and raise a low area of a field!

[@TM-um1pi]

Love you guys and know all about mice. My mom had one run up her pant leg on the farm too. I also know how destructive they can be. Grant may want to edit that part out about what happened to the mouse as people not from the country my not understand. All in all a great video. Thanks.

[@FarmerDyl]

Don't take out the trees Grant! It would make an easier field without them but there's barely any out there to begin with.

[@waderue]

lol well don't be shocked when you have a new pumpkin patch because of the seed in those lol

[@jamflu]

I love your hair being up. I get so nervous with all of the things on the farm you can get your long hair hooked on. 😅

[@Jerry0153A]

Would seem that harrowing the grass first would make it easier to use the scraper to remove the high spots.

[@chrisjackson5156]

Helo Country Bumpkin how's the frost out on the pumpkin?

[@thomasallen6285]

Was that steel rod a survey marker?
