Field Work Before Matt's Off-Road Games

One of my favorite tractor jobs on the farm! Spend the day with me in the tractor cab as we root slice corn stalks in preparation for 2024 planting season. A surprise out in the field: a burned up semi-trailer! Another surprise: it snows!! This is a fast-paced, fun job that not everyone does. Welcome to Laura Farms!

Russell,why title case on your post?

[@5777alan]

Thats awesome you are going to Matts off road games. Rory is a cool guy.

[@yaagooo1]

I put your name in as soon as i heard Matt announce the Games. I thought you would be perfect for those games. You are always up for an adventure. You will have a great time because the people you will meet are the best. Prayers and safe Travel to you both. Regards Jack.

[@davidblalock9945]

Yep, I’m so looking forward to the Sand hollow shenanigans at the Off Road Games.

[@keithvanpolen9049]

I am looking forward to seeing you participate in the off road games.

[@JamesMartin-sy7tq]

LAURA YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY!!

[@kenc1800]

She is OLD ……2011. Wow only 13 years old and yet considered old for farm equipment.. Gage is one handy helper on Laura’s Farm! Good luck and safe travels Laura and Grant!

[@2020Tundra]

If 2011 is old, then we have some REALLY REALLY OLD farm equipment 😂

[@JLC87420]

Well she is Gen z.

[@johndeere8594]

I wonder at what point do you have to overhaul the engine on a 2011?

[@bradolsen8629]

Laura, you might want to see if there’s a huge magnet or something on the outer edge of your field is it’s attracting all these vehicles down in the ditch there for some reason it might be a big magnet

[@hdelano11]

Jesus my stuffs all 96 and under.... Working 800 acres.

[@AlbertLee-sl1tc]

Thanks to Matt's off road channel leading me to your channel . I'm not a farmer but appreciate a harder worker and ya'll look so young makes me proud ! Enjoy the games , Rory is probably the most capable partner you could get . Watching from the desert ,Al

[@TheRobertlonski]

So glad you are participating in the Off-Road Games -- You scored big-time, Rory Irish is like the Chairman of the Board in Moab. He will. be a hoot to work with. He is ever more down to earth than you are!I am sure you will have a wonderful time. I was hoping either you are Zach Johnson were participating. Good Lick!

[@_andrewvia]

Over here in PA, I had a friend whose last name was Root. I was calling to him across a crowd one day: "Hey John!" Finally I yelled "Hey Ruit" (the same pronunciation you use). That sure got his attention!

[@mtnfstop8]

I just watched a video of someone that fell asleep run off the road into a cornfield along a interstate hwy. May have been the one that went into yours. He had a camera in his truck that showed front & rear view. His girlfriend was asleep when he left the road. She woke up going through the cornfield screaming. You were great in the off road games!

[@stevecartagena9410]

Good luck competing with Rory in Utah. ❤

[@johnensminger7675]

I also appreciate you letting us go with you on your farming schedule! I really enjoy watching your channel, Laura! I learn so much!

[@froggienm71]

It's called a Multipurpose bucket for the loader. It can do 3-4 jobs in one

[@Wood_Aviation]

Here before this hits 95K views good job Laura keep the good work I like how you explain what the implement does and how it works

[@bobveal]

It really is a blessing that you’ve have a wetter off season. Hoping it yields a mor profitable harvest!

[@rickyweber2651]

Laura, Grant and Gage traveling 12 miles an hour is very fast pulling anything in a field. BE SAFE!! Have FUN in Utah!!

[@mynemesisu]

Hi Laura happy birthday love you're videos !

[@TomRowan777]

I thought Laura's birthday was May 11th. We need to know when to send cookies!😂❤

[@rboston33]

You'll like Rory's daughter Lilly. She can crawl the trails with th e best of them

[@westrotter7847]

That'll help your moisture levels for sure !!!

[@douglashomrighausen9010]

What a pleasant surprise; another video from you so soon after the one on Sunday. When you are operating equipment, I think that is something that is so good about your posts because, even with this, relatively, simple operation - root slicing - you do such a great job of explaining what you're doing while you are actually in the tractor. As always, I really like seeing you and Grant working together because it reminds me of farming with my wife, who was a city girl who really adapted to midwestern, corn & soybean farming. Also, I want to mention that you and Grant having Gage take the 8335R and the combine to his school on the take your tractor to school day was such a very nice thing on your part.

[@PTE1957]

The good thing about snow is that snow is moisture and what you doing is putting it in the ground and not just on the surface.

[@NewHorizonsTravel]

I am grateful for the opportunity to accompany you on your farming activities. I find great pleasure in viewing your channel. Have a great weekend Laura✨💖

[@michaelwilliams7481]

I am a bit behind in the UK. Laura, I love hearing you explain things, I am not surprised a few years ago you were asked to do a school talk on farming to the students. Seeing you in a field working on the land made me feel that planting is just around the corner. Enjoy what you have planned in the next video. Stay safe, love from Mike. ❤

[@woohu2u2]

If you're coming to Southern Utah this weekend, be prepared for crappy weather.

[@fischer0762]

I love this content! You’re the only farmer I follow. I’m mainly a car nerd so I saw a bunch of my KZbinrs out there. I even follow Ghost Town Living. If only Cleetus and Demo Matt were there I’d have almost all my subs in one place. Love the collaboration!

[@kroadie3936]

Extreme models unique combinations,Laura farms thank you!

[@donwilliams3626]

When you talk to Rory, let him know you are experienced with driving supercharged vehicles. He should be happy to let you take a turn at the wheel of his new "Blue" machine!

[@williambanas2831]

Laura and Grant, there's a pretty good farm machinery auction coming up on Monday and Tuesday next week in Hamilton, Illinois by Big Iron/Sullivan Auctioneers.

[@pauljoseph8338]

RUT slicer? Some people probably call it a ROOT slicer…😉

[@JimmyCornPop]

That’s a northern/midwest/Canadian thing. My parents pronounced it the same way. Kinda like melk 😅

[@hughcrandall254]

Hi Laura. Funny hearing you talk about not having the correct iPhone cable in your tractor. When I started driving tractor I had to worry if I had good spark plugs in the tool box in case my tractor started running on three cylinders. Check for a cool plug and change it out. Those were the days.

[@InquisitiveSearcher]

When I grew up on a farm I spent an incredible number of hours in the field during spring planting and summer cultivating, not mention harvesting. (something you're familiar with) And I had no cab to mitigate the weather and the only thing I had to break the boredom was an AM radio. Of which I would turn up the volume to compete with the noise level of a straight pipe exhaust coming out of the large diesel engine. (Unfortunately, the other tractors had no radio) I was still very bored but at least I had something I could make noises along with. (can't really call it singing) Today I find that I can't hear as well in the ear that faced the radio mounted to the tractor's fender. I can hear crickets on one side but not the other. Maybe your friend could bring you the appropriate cable for your phone.

[@PTE1957]

Enjoy your time in Utah. I actively watch all the channels associated with Matt’s Off Road Recovery and you should have a great time with very nice people.

[@PTE1957]

Second Place Loser, Tie People’s Choice Award and Loss of Voice, for having so much fun, looks like you had a great time, well done and well deserved.

[@jackmacica5407]

With Rory as your spotter, we expect a win. He’s the best! Enjoy!

[@jasoncannons7967]

After the Off Road Games. You should invite Roy out to Nebraska to get a taste of what you do on the farm. Would be interesting to see.

[@tracker1955]

As cheap as a battery backup is for phones you might invest in one, bought one for my wife because she plays games so much, was on sale at HD and was less than $7.

[@alexgarza5211]

Thanks for explaining that Orthman 5SP thing's function. Question: how much of that leftover root material is food for next year's crop? Does it decompose on it's own?

[@adrianchristopher5867]

Hey, you would never think I would be subscribed to your channel after watching you on the off-road games. ;-) Awesome stuff. You radiate a very wholesome energy! Keen to go back now and watch you farming as well!

[@ThundersYTGarage]

I saw you at the off-road games and have been binge watching your videos since then. I have been in mining most of my adult life and construction work since I was twelve years old, and I love physical labor like that. I love to see the large scale farming that you and Grant do and have to say that farming is something that if the circumstances of my life would have presented the opportunity I would have enjoyed farming. I think your channel is awesome, it introduces people to what it takes to produce the crops that provide our food. I would love to be able to show the mining that I do but my employer would have a big problem with me doing that. However, in a way it’s kinda the same thing as far as… I work in copper mining, most people have no idea what it takes to produce the metals (or corn and soy in your case) that we as a society take for granted. Please keep showing what you do. Not only is it entertaining it is educational to a lot of people.

[@dougrogillio2223]

Laura, your male lightning connectors will fit the female C type connectors. So, you can plug the male lightning into the bottom of your C connector on your phone. I do it every day.

[@scottshawn1]

…Laura’s birthday??? WHAT ??? That automatically qualifies for a ride on Heavy D’s Blackhawk !!!

[@TomRowan777]

I thought her birthday was May 11th. We need to google AI chat both or sumthin!😂

[@somporn6040]

Good morning Laura Farms

[@914Rocky]

You did awesome off roading!

[@js7127]

Laura, your hair is beautiful straightened out but love your curls. I grew up running big and small dirt moving equipment, Cat 633 scrapers to skid steers smaller to yours but absolutely love the multi row implements that fold up then out for max tillage!!!! Reminds me of of our old 46a/ Cat D8H dozer that would boil dirt over the blade when you were in the groove. Actually spent half of my time on the fuel truck so hats off on your maintenance regiment.

[@bradolsen8629]

Laura, you truly are a little bundle of joy super cute and adorable. You make a lot of people smile on your channel. Thank you sweet precious girl stay safe at that event. Please come back unharmed.

[@briangrant2549]

Laura Farms. I saw you on BSF Recovery teams video at Utah. You walked in at the end. Eric and his wife do free recoveres at events in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Hope you had a good interaction with them.

[@chipworrell6025]

Granted, my only experience of Nebraska is the last week in June for the previous 16 years, but there are only three kinds of weather I have experienced there. Hot and windy, cold and windy and wet and windy....

[@zandanse]

🙂 Lived in Massachusetts and the term was root (like in soot) and then moved to Connecticut where it was root (like in boot). Sounds like however you say it is going to be correct.

[@DennisN1959]

you have the best spotter in the Utah area

[@nickmcdonald42]

What a crazy weather day. Traveling mercies as you head out (further) West!

[@tommosher8271]

Get as much done as you can it's going to be a long wet cold spring.

[@doggedout]

Getting suggestions for your videos after the Off Road Games and just have to say as a former farmer... That is the tidiest barn I have ever seen! Seriously, you could eat off that barn floor! Also, that rotary hoe looks like something out of the future. Loved you at the games. Can't wait for you to bring your tractor next year!

[@michelecarroll6355]

HELLO, good video! 😀🤘🏼

[@davidshannon6597]

"I am not properly bundled" is a neat way to say you don't have warm clothes. We don't use that one in Tennessee.

[@user-ej1xy6gk1c]

I hope you have a great time in Utah with the new friends and games. You do an amazing job of documenting and explaining what and how you work the farm. Thanks to you grant and gage for all you do. Safe traveling and "playing" at the games!!

[@buckshotnicks3505]

Hi Laura And Grant, Was that field one of the fields that you did the fertilizer video on? And if so, how much does it aid for this year's growing season.

[@georgewest2096]

Nice machine, it beats a disk by a lot.

[@jerrypeal653]

Yeah Laura were supposed to get 21” of snow here in neighboring Colorado! Should be fun .

[@MuhammadAsif-ip5yl]

Great personality

[@daviddill4314]

1st be sure and paint your fingernails Rory green he would get a kick out of that. Good luck, have a good time, come back with a 1st place. I will be watching and rooting for you & Rory. Mike & Shawn are great guys too.

[@arthura.applegatejr.7145]

The Jersey turnpike cut our farm in half. Once when I was about 4 or 5 several trucks wrecked behind our farm house and one truck was on fire. The driver was stuck in the cab and burned to death. That’s a smell you never forget. Before the turnpike we almost never had to drive equipment on the road.

[@thomasjessop8367]

WOW, you came to Utah, and did not even call or let me know you came bay. WOW, I could feel bad about it, but I won't, it serves no purpose. Hope you'll let me know next time you come out to Utah or Arizona.

[@lynwessel2471]

If you're auto track is set up correctly you should be able to just get past half way turned around hit resume and it will find and go down the correct rows.

[@Nicks95sho]

Looks like a Decker trucking trailer out of Fort Dodge Iowa.

[@user-yb8fv1ed3m]

Good luck in the off road games

[@TomRowan777]

Yay Bonus Video!

[@--JYM-Rescuing-SS-Minnow]

glad U had a good time, and got some work done!

[@russpost2557]

For the record , I nominated you to go to Matt's off road ..games .

[@tomdunn7147]

so did I.

[@emeraldrhyme5634]

The Orthman 5|SP Stalk Puller is a piece of agricultural equipment designed for fall or spring residue management. It features large V-disks that are used to pinch and pull out crop residue, such as stalks, from the field. This process helps prepare the field for the next planting season by clearing away debris and creating a more favorable environment for planting. The equipment is designed to operate at high speed while requiring relatively low horsepower, making it efficient for residue management tasks.

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

Take care of yourselves, good luck, and have fun. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks!

[@jmo2640]

I’m sure you don’t know, but you literally hit the jackpot getting Rory, he is without a doubt the best Driver/spotter at the event. You guys will absolutely crush it. Rory and his team are a blast, you are going to have a lot of fun.

[@robertjones2020]

In Nv we are weeks away from getting into the fields.Lots of rain and snow this year. Good luck to you guys

[@jasonkelly7930]

Sometimes the wheel bearings will catch on fire and then the tires and then it goes from there

[@jamescumbo1928]

Laura have fun and enjoy yourselves out there. When you get home it will be full speed ahead.

[@jongrossardt7542]

Passed through your neck of the woods on Saturday(at least as close as York). Saw the remnants of the snow - very spotty accumulations and a few vehicles off the road on I-80. Have fun in Utah!

[@guycharlebois3342]

Hey guys, that bucket is called 4 in 1 bucket. Nice skid steer,

[@Chris-bz1ym]

Another successful informative Farming Science Class. Thank you both. Keep up the good work.

I Can Remember When Ever Part Of The Cornstalk Including The Cob Would Decompose During Fall/ Winter Months....

[@christrella3134]

Decker Transportation from Fort Dodge, IA. Yup, refrigerated Transportation. We're going to crack 70 degrees tomorrow. (3/14) Thursday. Pennsylvania. Supposed to have snow this weekend. You guys all look good. Pepper too! We have a Farmers market here called "Roots"". Pronounced Ruits. It's the Onion Snow! Harbinger of Spring! Have fun at the games in Utah! Safe travels and God bless you all

[@garywilt76]

A few years ago, I traveled with DeWalt Marketing, I've been past your farm a few times. I once got stopped on I-80 by a Nebraska State Trooper. After giving me a warning, he asked me to open the display doors. I believe he was bored and simply wanted to see the latest DeWalt tools! 😎

[@flyfisher301]

Be careful with using chrome sockets and swivels on impacts!!!! Chrome sockets can crack and shatter and swivels can fly apart.

[@merrickbibens6514]

Should have sets of impact rated sockets when using power drivers, whether air or battery powered!! Be safe and Love your channel! : )

[@royl9858]

Better yet, only use impact sockets and extensions on any impact tool!!!

[@Tyridsdill]

Love the way you say root! "Rut Slicing" I'm from Canada and we say "Root Puller" Great video, keep up the amazing work!

[@tomdunn7147]

Great video Laura and Grant, have fun at the offroad games. I hope you have a blast, Rory is a great off roader.

[@lyndon0420]

Get some antiseize for your bolts

[@wayoutthere007]

Oh wow - great to see you meeting up with Matt and his friends out in Utah! I subd as soon as I saw you mention his channel. You're amazing to watch and love your videos. Thanks for sharing! Take care and looking forward to seeing you in Utah.

[@eldonjons7442]

I hope you enjoy it out here, weather looks a little sketchy...

Love the color of your finger nails

[@user-el2gu9bx5l]

Thanks once again for letting us have a glimpse into you and Grants lives!!! Again, love to see your dirt!!! Could have used Pepper a few days ago as a mouse took up residence in my truck! GOOD LUCK in Utah and stay safe!!!

[@Chevyman02]

I live a couple hours west of you here in Nebraska, we got about 15 inches from the same storm. You'll like the off road games, Matt and the rest are good people.

[@williamwehmeier443]

The backward video is a bit disconcerting, but I love the show!

Good movie ,Laura . Have fun off roading .

[@jeffhennings6579]

Another great video ya this years weather has been crazy barely any snow at all here in upstate NY

[@mwilhelmindetroit]

Really impressive work. Your commitment to farming is so obvious. Kudos, Grant, Laura ang Guage.

[@michaelbower7355]

Very interesting video. Always learn what farmer's have to take care of

[@rigastreaming]

greetings from Germany❤

[@79tazman]

Lot of times that a trailer will start on fire is caused by brake malfunction and the heat will start a fire and then once the tires start burning you can't do much but sit back and hope the FD get there quick.

[@tracytrawick322]

Really like UMC's new opening strum! They followed the smooth, but farm-tough original with another great tune. Kudos to UMC's ad editors, your 🎵 🎶 is hitting a sweet spot!
