How To Spend $1,000,000 In A Day

[@larrystolzman9337]

I’m a 73 year old farm kid and retired CPA. I’ve helped many small business owners. Thank you for this video. Thank you for your love of farming. Thank you for taking on something very few will do. Hearing the cost of your farm operation will frighten most people to death. Your courage is what makes America great. I’m sure some people watch your videos thinking how easy she has it. “She’s just a farmer”. Ask them if they want to borrow $1,000,000, pray for good weather, pray to stay healthy, work 4,000+ hours a year in the hope of having enough profit to do it all over again next year. Don’t ever apologize for letting the stress out. If someone criticizes you for it simple tell them to go to hell. God Bless!

Hello there 👋,how are you doing today!God bless you!!!❤️

[@syphenfilter]

Laura. I remember the videos when you started out with helping your dad and learning how to farm. You’ve come a LONG WAY since then. I remember when Grant proposed to you by lake. Both of you are blessed and I firmly believe that you and Grant are doing God’s work. Though this is a small amount but I know it will be used. God Bless.

[@JDDupuy]

Wow I am a 61 year old Master Carpenter and have learned so much about farming and a little about life watching you farm this past year. When i saw the emotions starting to pour out I immediately understood. And it got to me good. I cannot imagine the stress and the financial carrying cost you live daily. And hoping things turn out right in the end. You and Grant are to be commended for your accomplishments so far at such a young age. You have done outstanding! Super long hours and hard work and the You Tube Channel to boot. I know filming and editing is long extra hours and pleased to know it continues to help make your farming dream a reality! Without young farmers like you, it makes me wonder where we might be down the road. Love you both and continued success from Kansas City, MO!

Hello there 👋,how are you doing today!God bless you!!!❤️

[@billy19461]

I will never forget the day that my wife and I went into the poultry business. Nothing as big as what you and Grant are doing but it was stressful for us. We had four broiler houses and borrowed over $300,000.00 to build them on land that we already owned. People do not understand that farming is 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We have been in our poultry houses when thunderstorms hit and lightning was running up and down the cables in the houses. Wish you and Grant all of the good luck in the world. Old retired farmer by myself now.

[@azh590]

Congratulations to both of you! Appreciate the expense breakdown. It must be crazy stressful dealing with sums like that but it looks like you and Grant are handling it quite well! Best of luck guys.

I'm a 15 year old male who currently lives in the city. I've always been interested in agriculture and heavy machinery/farm equipment. I know how hard you farmers work and after watching a bunch of videos of the reality of farming my respect for y'all has skyrocketed. God bless

You are in our prayers Bill G

[@julietagney4071]

Laura, I am happy to watch your KZbin videos. As a 65 y/o lady that never lived or worked on a farm, learn something every episode. I am so impressed how hard you and Grant work every single day. Keep it up Honey, you will pass it down to others maybe children in your family. What an amazing thing that is. You are not any relation to me yet I am so very proud of you everyday. Congratulations on a job well done. ❤

Our hymn at the end of Mass this morning was "America the Beautiful." During the words "O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain" I was thinking of you, Grant and your families. Thank you for everything you are doing. Happy Thanksgiving! May God shed His grace on thee.

[@cdnbaconeh7321]

[@johnwyoder]

Wow. You continue to amaze and impress me with the level of maturity you possess at such a young age. I cannot tell you how happy I am for you and Grant to have this opportunity. Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency in this video. I can tell it's been stressful, but I also know your faith will carry you through. Blessings to you, Grant, and the rest of your extended families!

[@murrayashworth78]

Wow! I’m 68 and almost lost for words, originally from New Zealand but have spent over 40 years living in Canada. You are the most amazing young woman I’ve been able to meet, or a least on your KZbin channel. The courage you exude is simply inspirational, for you and your husband to take on such a challenging life and stressful vocation is incredible. I hope your videos can be shown in schools and communities around the world, these are incredible tools for all people to learn what it takes to tackle such a tuff career. Thank you for sharing this new journey, you and your husband are starting. God Bless.🇳🇿🇨🇦

There are also 1,000,000 reasons why you have such devoted followers (like me!). It all comes down to this, we love you and Grant. Congratulations, continued good luck in all of your farming ventures and know we're right here with you both all the time! 😊❤

[@CoryKruse]

I really love this channel. I’m from Nebraska. Born and raised. In fact, not very far from where you are (GI). You and Grant are literally what I miss about that state. There are some truly amazing, kind, hardworking and humble people in NE. You guys are such amazing ambassadors for not just the state, but also the farming industry.

[@earlpreston1043]

Hi Laura! As a 71 year old man who spent the first half of his life farming, I sincerely thank you for the most accurate portrayal of farming life I have ever seen! And for all the nonfarmier types out there, I can confirm the stress is sometimes so intense, it can be debilitating! It's just a good thing you get a little change of pace during the winter months to recharge and go again! The best advice I can give you is the same advice I received over 50 years ago. BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CHEW! THEN CHEW IT! May God be with you and bless your fledgling operation with much success and prosperity!

[@Richie.P71]

Congratulations you two! So proud to have been able to watch you grow and succeed. It really touched me that you shared your expenses and we could see the stress of you doing what you love. I am amazed that the stress doesn't come through on your other videos, you look so happy and are so informative. May god bless you two with many MANY years of success.

[@RidersRange]

Congratulations on being able to pursue your dream. I've heard that the way to end up with a small fortune farming is to start with a large fortune. You and Grant are pouring your heart and soul into this, and I wish you both a healthy and prosperous 2023.

[@redporschekilla]

Don’t ever feel the need to apologize for your earnings, you and Grant and everybody involved spend your life to work hard and long hours, only to do it all over again! Working the land is hard work, been there done it loved and and broke my body with it. Would I do it again? Hell yeah, nothing is more rewarding than seeing the result of your hard work! So I can say, you are a brave young woman going out in the world and tell you tale! Thank you for letting us walk with you a bit!

[@hotbug597]

Thank you so much for being so brutally honest about your farm, Laura. When you presented your numbers I was shocked at how much things cost you. If I had false teeth they would have fallen out. Farming has always been a marginal but wholesome way to make a living. It is only through tough folks like you and Grant that we can begin to appreciate just how long the hours are and how close to complete failure you folks live. Please continue to enlighten us all and may God bless you both.

[@joefudd]

This is very true and most people are also not aware how dangerous that it is being a farmer?

[@aaronchown5008]

Dear Laura and Grant, Greetings from Australia. I'm a 66 year old Country Boy, my Father managed a large sheep and cattle grazing property for a Pastoral Company, and my Maternal Grandparents were into cropping, with some sheep and cattle. I've been following your channel for some years now. It's very interesting to see how farming operations are carried on elsewhere. It was phenomenally brave of you to put yourself out there and give us a breakdown of your numbers. The raw emotion engendered just made it all the more forceful. Don't ever apologise for letting the stress out, we have your back! I salute You and Grant and pray for your continued survival. I know whereof you speak, and I concur with every other positive comment on here. One of my cousins married a Farmer, and to sow 5000 acres of Barley, cost them $100,000 for diesel!! When I was a lad, 45% of the Australian population was rural based. Now it is only 12%, and still shrinking. That Video, "A Farmers Last Ride" was especially poignant and tasteful. God Bless You, Grant, and all your immediate, and extended Family.

[@tippo5341]

Amen to that Aaron...the Aussie farmers endure so much in adverse weather...makes me wonder how they make ends meet at times...but through tenacity and the good old Aussie spirit...they somehow manage...and sadly it's a disappearing industry these days...whether it's sheep, cattle, crops or whatever the commodity, it's certainly an industry that we all must be thankful for for those who do go through the processes year after year to provide to the greater masses, and one that I personally couldn't be more respectful of those that farm this great land for what they endure.

I''m first gen away from the farm so I haven't felt it personally but my family must have shared the feeling of all the hard work on the gamble of being a farmer. Now I'll watch the rest of the video. We cannot live without farmers. Thank you.

As someone who grew up on a farm, I know the stress involved from watching my father. I also know what a great life it can be. What a fantastic opportunity the both of you have to have such a wonderful life.

[@markp.7165]

Most people have No idea what pressure comes with running a successful small business. Most get nervous when they take out a 35K loan for a car or truck. Try risking it all every year like you guys and many other farmers do. It isn't for the faint of heart. Both you and Grant make me proud of our younger generation who often get a bad rap. There are good and bad in every generation and you two are some of the best. Keep it up and never ever apologize for letting your emotions come out. It shows how much this all means to you both farming and YouTubing.

[@texaswunderkind]

You're right about small businesses. My parents started one back in the 80's and it was hit-or-miss for probably the first six years. Eventually they were able to expand and grow, but there were some tough times to get there. I remember one Christmas where they were so broke we literally got nothing except what the grandparents bought that year. The kids understood the seriousness of it, and if nothing else it brought us closer together.

[@randyray435]

It really breaks my heart to see you crying. I have been a Patreon since your first Q&A under an alias and this year I have enjoyed sending you random gifts for your hard work. God bless you and Grant. Your house and acreage is lovely.

[@erich3713]

Laura - I've just discovered your channel, and I've watched over half of your videos. Grew up farming, then moved away and became a blue collar worker. 57yrs old and have done a lot of things. You and Grant are incredible workers, and personalities. Love that you tear right into mechanical projects and fix things on your own. My daughter is the same way, as is my son. I'm proud of them as they are both white collar workers - but aren't afraid to get dirty and build/fix things. You two are an inspiration, and make me feel better about this generation. Never stop being yourselves. Never stop working, and never doubt each other. Just had to say this - hope you read it. You guys are amazing!

[@yamahavstarrider6679]

[@ianclarke4660]

Laura congratulations on your KZbin channel. I’m an ex farmer based in the UK which is a totally different physical environment to North America. But there are similarities. The margins were always tight and still are today as friends tell me. I farmed full time in the 70’s when we had rampant inflation. Prices of fertiliser and other inputs just took off. Diversity saved the day for me, despite the stress of doing so. As you mentioned in your video today farmers today are doing other things and that’s what I did in the 70’s. Stress is an attitude of mind and clear thought and pragmatism I found to be the best way of dealing with stress. When I was in my teenage years an old timer told me if you want to farm always have something to sell and if you have nothing to sell have a service you can provide. You have ticked both boxes although you may not realise it yet. You have your KZbin channel which is excellent (a service) and your cattle which you could always sell if you need to. View livestock as dollars on legs and you won’t go far wrong. In my case it was pound notes. The timing of any sale may not be ideal but when you need it cash always has a value. You have Grant who is obviously interested in farming and you should share any stress with him as he should with you. Lots of luck and my very best wishes to you both tomorrow is always another day and bad days will just disappear from memory. 😅😅😅

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Laura I just watched your video spelling out all your expenses. As a farmer myself and basically on the other end of my career path from you I'm 61, I understand where you're coming from. One thing you and Grant have going for you is your youth and the fact that I think both of you are smart in that you're watching your expenses watching your input and your outgo and placing your dollars where they need to be. You're smart to buy ground you can buy new equipment all the time or at least what you need but when it comes to dirt God's not making any more of that. I wish you the best admire the two of you for what you're doing if we didn't have people from your generation following mine we'd be in a world of hurt.

[@JDtheDJ2009]

Congrats on purchasing your acreage. I know that not having to rent will make it less expensive but comes with it's own new set of challenges but I know you and Grant will tackle it like you do everything else.

[@environmentalbill3375]

Laura: I have been watching you and Grant farm now for a couple of years and I cannot express how much I admire you two for doing this. My late wife had 25 acres given to her which her cousin farms for us and I know first hand the costs. In addition, my Mother left our family trust about 250 acres that is part of a 460 acre track that my cousin owns. The gentlemen that farm it are really good and we continue to show a profit. However, I have seen several of my late wife's relatives have to sell their farms because they could not sustain it. Farming is a big gamble controlled by weather and the Good Lord, and it is up to the farmers to make it work despite the odds. I cannot imagine the stress and worry that you and Grant face each day. I wish both of you the best of luck and I will always look forward to yours, Grant's and your Dad's videos. I support you 110%.

In Holland all of the farmers are having stress as well and especially now with the government wanting to get rid of 50% of the farmers. A lot of people doesn't realize how hard it is to farm and to be a farmer and don't appreciate enough that they are responsible for the food we are eating every day.

We are extremely EXTREMELY lucky that she is willing to share this with us. That goes for anyone making this type of content. Thank you for sharing with us Laura & congratulations on the new homestead!

Thank you Laura for sharing your heart and thank you and Grant for shouldering so much responsibility. I and all your fans love you so much.

[@masonramsey9085]

Great video and thank you for sharing. I’ve been living on a 150 acre cattle farm for 3 years now and it has been amazing and the best experience for a young adult. The respect and support towards farmers should be given more then they get. Good luck on the 2023 season!

[@gilbertlane4522]

God bless you, Grant, and your families. It is people like you that built this wonderful country. Please keep doing what you do. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@CandC_Farms]

Congrats you two! I’m so happy for you about the property. I’ve always been to scared to jump into farming with both feet, I do the opposite, 40+ hours/week off the farm to be able to do the small scale farming that I do. So my hats off to you.

[@stevenfunk1060]

Been there done that. Absolutely truthful, farm life is a fun way of life. But the stress of all the unknowns,expenses like break downs, cost of inflation, fuel, chemicals, crop input costs, equipment continually gets more expensive. Insurances....crop, buildings, equipment. The list goes on and on. The hrs farmers work...people don't realize how little they actually earn...it all falls under this big umbrella of debt. Now tag on rising interest rates. Yah....give farmers the respect they deserve putting food on our tables. Sincerely thanks for all you do keeping our families fed!!

[@randall8054]

Laura, Wow what an incredible video you have made! Coming from a born and raised here in Nebraska and still living in Nebraska. You have made this follow native of Nebraska very very proud! You Laura and Grant represent Nebraska what a true Nebraska native is!! Very open, very honest, hard working, and humble. You represent farmers very well in Nebraska. Thank you Laura and Grant for being YOU and representing Nebraska so very well. With the very most utmost respect for yourself and Grant. God Bless you with your farming journey now and forever. Randy ( very proud resident of Nebraska)

[@missile643]

Laura, an excellent educational video. Most people have no idea of the pressure farmers are under due to the huge expenses on the line every year. Also, most people do not realise how small a profit margin farmers make. It is a tuff gig being a farmer, it’s a love of the land. I am so excited for yours and Grants future, keep doing what you are doing 😊

[@hobsterterry]

Laura and Grant are hero's. We need millions like them, Keep the videos coming. Love them.

[@amytaylor8487]

Hello there 👋,how are you doing today!God bless you!!!❤️

[@nekk-ra7080]

This is a big problem with farming a lot of people don't understand. It's a vitally important industry that requires long hours, hard work, and operates with razor thin margins, yet the costs involved are astronomical and there are people out there actively attacking this industry. Your emotions are perfectly understandable, Laura, and your channel goes a long way to lift the veil on the work and dedication that goes into what you do. God bless.

[@Mgp-Rc]

It is so easy for some to look at everything you have and make statements like "Well hey they have a lot of money to have all of those toys!?" Truth is it takes a LOT of work and LONG hours to get what you have and the ones thinking you have it easy probably do not know what HARD ACTUAL WORK is!!!? You have shown in this video yet again that you guys are completely normal and you have emotions just like the rest of us and I think that is a good thing. Thank you for sharing something personal with your fans.

[@graemehorne7649]

Liked this comment , and all the sentiments. I wished to be a farmer once. Certainly you have expounded the 'risk' you take on. I have turned from a secure government job here in Australia, Rangering 26 years and Teaching 5 years, to running my own small, small business now 7 years. I have very slowly and carefully taken on financial risk, but it seems you have soo much to deal with in this area. You are both truly brave. Graeme Horne

[@coffee8866]

Congratulations young lady. I've watched your content back when it was just breaking 10k subs and its been fun watching you grow, fall in love, and become a owner of your own farm. To many more years to both you and Grant.

[@GrinningGser]

Hi Laura ; watching as a retired grown up , in England U.K and awesome and emotional . I also watch ‘Harry’s Farm’ ( Burford , UK). His costs are also scary and he does not have the acreage or costs that you have. I do not think anyone in U.K. had fields as big as yours . As I say , AWESOME . Love the information and love the emotion. Keep your ‘window into farming life’ going, because it is such an insight for the rest of us city dwellers .

[@redbeardbuildsthings]

Thank you, Laura, for all the work you do and givings us a glimps of your life!! Farmers are true blessings to us all, and the frontline as stewards to this earth. This video, as emotional as it was to record, truly shows your dedication to the trade/life. Thank you for all you (and Grant, and your dad) do!! Many Blessing, God bless!

[@chrispetitto2107]

I followed you and Grant most of the year watching the videos, and I see how hard you work, keeping in your head all that needed to be done, and all the expenses. Reminds me of my dad and what he went through at his surface mines extracting coal, and contending with the break-downs. I sincerely ask the Lord to abundantly bless you and Grant, to multiply and provide and protect you both from all harm and everything else as he brings you under his wings of protection! May God bless you and your family all!

[@bobsuzannetravels9054]

Good god i had no idea the costs you incur, the stress of having to cover that with selling your crops has to be incredible. You Laura are what is great about this country! We all love you out here, someday i would love to see you at a farm show and give both you and Grant a huge hug.

[@cravenoutdoors4619]

Congratulations Laura and Grant!! Thank you for you’re videos. I couldn’t imagine the stress you all are under every year. You all are such awesome people. I really appreciate you bringing us along with you. Keep up the good work God bless you all.

[@simen9485]

I remember your first video popping up on my youtube in early 2020, its been so much fun following you all the way until this point. Its incredible how much you have been able to achieve in so little time. I had no idea what farming was, and now i watch you and mike in canada every week. A million dollars is insane, cant imagine how scary it must be to handle that kind of responsibility. Its really brave of you two! Best of luck with corn prices and next years farming. Remember you are still young, and you can probably work all day all year, but its ok to take a short break once in a while, might be worth it in the long run :)

[@benfrazer6911]

As a. Cattleman / Horseman in Tennessee, and a very small one at that. I understand totally what you are talking about. I work a regular 50 hours job. Every week, then go home and ranch. I so admire you and Grant and I want you to know that you are in my daily prayers. Keep on farming and vlogging.

[@amytaylor8487]

Hello there 👋,how are you doing today!God bless you!!!❤️

[@mikeknowles8017]

Thank you for the breakdown and and letting us see the real stress you feel. Those are some big numbers! I like that you go ahead and spend the money on some expertise in certain areas like marketing and crop scouting rather than trying to go it alone. Smart people know when to get help. I'm glad to have been here since the beginning of the channel and I'll tell you that I feel a lot smarter too for just having watched.

[@oldsoldier4209]

Thank you so much for this video. So many people today have no idea what goes into getting food on all of our tables. They take it for granted that this stuff will always just be on the shelves for them to buy, without considering that massive amounts of money and effort are needed to grow the food. Yes, yours is a small operation, but it's still bigger than most people would expect. You and Grant are doing amazing and meaningful work, as are farmers all over the world. Thanks to these videos, I hope more people have learned enough to appreciate that. 🤠👍

[@gazzpazzer]

My grandfather told me how stressful it was to buy a 200 acre farm in the early 20th century. He did it however, and remains one of my most influential mentors.

[@texaswunderkind]

Buy? My ancestors go their Nebraska farmland for free through the Homestead Act. But you had to live on the land, and improve it for five years, or you would lose it. That was literally starting from nothing. There were no trees in Nebraska so people built dugout homes out of sod.

[@stevesmith775]

Congrats to you and Grant on your new place! You guys kick ass together and it’s very cool to be along for the ride getting to watch. I enjoy how real you were breaking down the numbers. Shows how much you care. I hope everyone else feels like me when I say it makes me want to support you both even more. Best of luck next year and wishing you continued success

[@zaynevanday142]

Laura you deserve all the rewards of your labours you and Grant are a great team and I know your Mum & Dad support you 100%

[@bradmoyer9737]

Your showing the human side of investing every fiber of your being, into one of the highest stakes gamble in the world, where you have no control over the environmental factors, is a service to farmers world over. The general population not only doesn’t know where the food they consume comes from, the only time they care is when the price goes up. The sleepless nights and soul destroying stress, hides a dark side of farming that never makes the headlines or evening news. The number suicides is hugely disproportionate to most other occupations. I just wanted to say thank you to you and Grant, for providing for me. 🙏🏻

[@deanweber8181]

Laura- You are truly an inspiration. Thank you. Your enthusiasm, devotion, and hard work, is almost incomprehensible and certainly seldom seen in today's society. The farm community is lucky to have you and you should be very proud of your accomplishments.

[@truckingharrington1764]

I personally have love all that you and Grand teach everyone what it looks like and takes to feed the world and move the world! As a trucker myself I know how hard you guys work and the stress it brings on! With out farmers we would have nothing! Most people don’t know how much hard work and sacrifice it takes to fill a store shelf and with that I want to say THANK YOU! Keep up the hard work and know every time I drive though NE I always think of you two and look out at all the farms wondering if that tractor or combine I see is one of you guys! PS love your dad too and hope grandpa is good!

[@abbush2921]

Good luck dear and to your husband too , in 1981 my wife and I bought a farm for 250,000 plus 21% interest rates . The numbers bogles the mind doesn't it .
