My prayers for Chet, the Larson Farm family, and Nicole's family. She was an amazing woman.

[@johndeere4011]

Us as listeners want you to know we are thinking of you during this memorial day weekend you will have to face without Nicole. Prayers and sympathies

Nicole is Chets wife who past away a year ago on the twenty seventh of May. She was quite the gem.

[@08Roadgl]

Am dreading the video of your storm damage. Been through that many years ago. Sucks bad. Again, glad no one was hurt!

[@Thecowboy1950]

Still waiting for the storm damage

[@larrywells2095]

Chet, I'm thinking about you and praying about you during this time. You don't know it, but I have sort of shared your road this past year. We had the funeral for my beautiful wife of almost 50 years on May 27, 2021, the day Nicole died. We had been watching your channel for several months and had only in the spring of 2021 discovered Nicole's channel. I had followed her story and was heart broken when I learned she had passed. I have watched you in your videos over the past year, trying to see how you handled such a devastating loss. Taken as a whole you and your family have been inspirational. LIfe goes on. I know how easy that is to say, how very hard, near impossible to do. God bless you and your family. You have to know that Nicole would be so proud of you and would always want only the very best for you, the love of her life.

[@rdyardie]

I am adding this comment on May 27, 2022. I got interested in Larson Farms when information about Nikki was posted about the time she left this earth. It was a sad time indeed. I used to think that an anniversary of someone's passing was a sad time. Then one of my favorite aunts passed away on St. Patrick's Day a few years ago. (I am not Irish. However, I realized what a good way to remember the date for someone's passing.) We believe in celebrating a person's life. Nikki was a person that was taken from this earth far too soon in our eyes. . . . one day we are told that we will understand. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Chet and the rest of the family. May you receive comfort and peace as you think about the past year. We do enjoy your KZbin channel. One other thought crossing my mind is that we have a friend in hospice right now. His wife passed away in March 2022. Jim is doing a Bible Study in hospice on the book of Revelation. He has faith in Christ and Jim knows where he is going. Nikki had a strong faith and I am sure the "why" questions were there many times. Her memorial service was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful person. I am sure she rejoiced as she heard, "Well done, good and faithful servant." 🤔

[@caravanpwdrblue]

Well said.

Big Swede I really like what you do and you are a Ford man to keep them dodge fans in line and Brody is a great man to keep for his fabulous work on cleaning everything

[@died4us590]

I really like how Brody fits right in with you guy's, and has the same great sense of humour. I heard you guy's had some damage, sorry about that, I have prayed for all you guy's who got hit. My sister lost her husband last fall, and she and my niece were hit by a tornado in Gaylord michigan Two day's ago, her home, and many other's were levelled, I'm just glad they are okay, because a couple people didn't make it. I pray you get the crops in, and have a bumper crop. God bless y'all.

You are removing any left trees, huge flat lands so no wonder that all this is ruined with strong winds, in Europe we are switching all that back in last 200 years, more and more forests distributed around important places, this also reduced droughts.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Well Chet keep going your place is anything like ours it's just about the time you start a project like that then the weather will fare up and you can go to work and then maybe over the summer you'll be able to finish. My old uncle that I grew up farming with I always had a saying I'm paraphrasing gently here he always said if you're a farmer and you can say you have all your work caught up and you have nothing to do but prop up your feet there's one of three things going on you're a darn good liar a darn good manager or blind there's always something to do on a farm. Take satisfaction knowing that you're making use of the weather you have to do what you can do I get frustrated that way sometimes around here in Western PA and sometimes you just feel like throwing up your hands and quitting and then all of a sudden the weather turns and the way you go stay safe.

[@died4us590]

I was hoping you would have put up a video today, but i can understand why not. IT doesn't seem like a year since Nikki left this world for the eternal life with our Father. Much love and prayers for you and the family Chet. I loved the strenth and belief in Christ that Nikki had til the end. I loved her channel as well, because she made great project's. Loss takes time, and going through the time's when it's not to bad, to the time when it just hits so hard. God bless you all, and great job taking over the editing of the channel, Nikki would have wanted you to, plus you do a great job. God bless.

[@markbowling3475]

Hey Dougo , Chet and company, I know by now you all have seen the forecast for tomorrow enhanced risk for severe weather tomorrow, praying for you all, it appears this is going to be one of those years that the weather throws everything but the kitchen sink , you all be weather aware in the near future. I guess this will keep y'all from turning a wheel but praying for your alls safety and that God will takecare of the weather for y'all, Love y'all

[@davidepool5884]

Sending prayers to Chet, the whole Larson Farm family and Nicole’s family. When it comes to clearing trees and brush and piling it to burn I’d choose an excavator over a bulldozer every time. They can get the job done better without pushing up a lot of dirt into the burn pile. Running a root rake over the cleared ground is always a good idea.

[@bigdcarmichael]

Big Swede. You’ve learned a lot about the camera. Hope you enjoy using it. It allows Dougo to go play more. And what a great asset you have in Brody. Keep up the work Chet. Great channel.

[@lchebuhar9212]

I think it’s cool that you are always looking for ways to be more efficient. Praying the rain stops soon. 💪👍🏼

[@donaldmote5441]

We use them a lot with sweet corn. Put 4x8 steel stock between the frame and the box..

[@HurstatElnup]

we used these for years in the UK for carrots and other veg. Had similar height issues and ended up digging wheel channels to drop the lorries down to ensure clearance !

[@chrischisholm4800]

Well Swede 👍 Thinking of you all in regards to Nicole. 🙏🏻🤧

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Well done! Straightforward, I like it! Thanks! If you're in a 320, and you're one with the machine, you might have a sense what it might have been like to be a dinosaur, chewing on the vegetation around you. Always a good time watching Dougo make that big machine look very agile and tight. Thank you!

Put some oversized, high-floatation tires on the dump cart to lift it a 6 inches. Will help a lot.

So I always thought it was big sweed , like a big weed. I guess it's big swede like the potato 🥔 which also makes complete sense. I dig Dougo I love that you name trucks and machines. Makes it easier than rhyming off numbers.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video everyone. It was interesting and enjoyable. Thanks to all of you for filming all of these odd jobs. Rain 🌧 is keeping you out of the fields. So time to do some of these odd jobs. The grove you are taking down looks better knocked down and cleaned up. Dougo is pretty good with that digger knocking down old trees. Might as well use that ground once the roots are grounded up and all that. Sorry about the side dump wagon not working. Am sure you can find a buyer for it. All for now I guess. Good job Eric on your explanations and filming. Thought you did a great job. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

You should see about trying to use your wheel loader to help clean that grove up too. Maybe see about buying, renting or barrowing a rake for it and using that. It should also speed up that process as well. Great video!

[@joshuamartin5157]

Check into Oxbo brand dumpcarts. Here in Central IL we use dumpcarts for ear seed corn picking they will go high enough to reach the top of a 13’6” tall open top trailer w room to spare. Also they use two hyd remotes one for the vertical and one for the dump so then the truck never moves. There’s other companies building these carts other than Oxbo also.
