What’s Worse? Tornadoes Or Straight Line Winds!? #9

[@randallparker8477]

The answer to your question... BOTH! Prayers always for our American Farmers... They all need that everyday!

[@dougvinduska9593]

Great to have the Big Swede and Brodie with the group.

[@chaddevine565]

yeah I agree 100% Brody fits in and damn sure looks like he knows what he's doing with everything these young boys renew my faith in the younger Generations these guys are smart and can do a lot of stuff

[@gerryhartung736]

I can hear Randy now.....kids at home, don't get chain saw stuck!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Larson. Farms just rolls up their sleeves and puts on a smile. God Bless all of you.

[@lawnboy8401]

My worry would be the structural integrity of those buildings. How much has the wind compromised the strength of them. May God bless the Larson family and all American Farmers.

[@chaddevine565]

I understand what you're saying and you have a good point but I would think that being in the part of country they are and as thorough as they are as a farm with how they do things I'm sure the buildings are rated for x amount or type of storm and are made to give a little without breaking any damage that is substantial and that would compromise I think would be visible basically I think the newer buildings are built to wear if they're still up there good if you don't see any visible cracks and steal or anything like that I think you should be good as far as the doors go there's not any way around that in my opinion very good, though

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

It's unreal the damage. Sorry you're having to go through this. We've been watching your videos and we're just sad this happened to you, and other farmers. Take care!

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another most interesting video. Thanks Chet for your filming and narratives. This was most interesting seeing what happened to your farmstead with this wind storm. Lots of damage again/wow. Really hard to look at the second time around. Wow and more wow. Looks better with all of you pitching in and picking it up or moving stuff to the piles of damaged goods. Am sure the grandparents like that tree out of the yard. Good job guys. That electric chainsaw works really good. Good buy Chet. The farm yard does not look too bad after this clean up. Do realize you have bigger pieces to get help on, but like you said, everybody is busy now. The old dump truck was a super thing to have to haul stuff away. Good use of it Chet. About it I guess. You all hang in there. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Larsons. The Iowa farm boy.

[@davidhowerton3434]

I know it's hard for your Grandaddy,Dad, and family to see this damage of the things that they have worked hard to build over the years destroyed. It hurts. But be thankful you still have your family.

[@jamesbreault5762]

To good to see everyone is ok👍👍👍👍

[@charleswolf279]

Went through a storm like this in 1980, lost our dairy barn. We were without power for 41/2 days and you do everything to try and stay positive. As long as there is no loss of life you can recover, l am sure you can attest to that. God’s blessings to everyone in your area.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Are you near Eau Claire Wisconsin? We lost power for 2 weeks in that July 15, 1980 storm. The Eau Claire airport recorded a wind speed of 112 mph before the building that the anemometer was attached to blew away.

[@paxbonum4683]

Prayers Dougo. "... Though I walk through the valley of death I fear no evil for you are at my side...". Take courage. You all are not alone, your KZbin family is holding you up in prayer. Peace!

[@tigerbatman7881]

Your mom held me up in prayer

[@dustinlowry9075]

My Hat is off to Guys up In the northeast I hate to see you not able plant your crops damage to buildings because of weather. Love your Videos huge fan. I’m John Deere technician Firebaugh California. If you can send some water are way. Thank you guys👍

[@gordmcdonald2807]

Feel your pain guys. Frustration, aggravation, takes away from the motivation. Some how we reach down and pull up the boot straps and carry on. You're in my prayers.

[@SctyGrpPowers]

So sad! I am truly sorry for all your troubles with the storms and all that damage!

[@deblarsen8528]

"JAWS"! That is a very impressive bucket/jaws!! I can hear that scary music.....🦈 BONFIRE! Where are the hotdogs and marshmallows? You have some fixing and tidying up to do, but golly it could have been a lot worse! Prayers going out that the crops you have in the ground grow and thrive and you still have a good crop year...2022!! (We farmed for quite a few years, and we did a lot of praying!) 🙏🙏

[@duanelass9380]

Hang in there. The big struggles make us appreciate those average years. We feel the frustration. Work through it and and thanks for sharing. Wish I was a neighbor I’d be there to help

[@davidcurtis1486]

Thanks for taking the time to share this set back. I’m sure there are times you just want to give up.

[@chaddevine565]

I agree I don't know how they stay so positive and happy I swear I think they're all medicated I don't mean that in a disrespectful way it just seems like every man I talk to nowadays the doctor always sends them to a psychiatrist and psychiatrist always prescribes some sort of happy pill Xanax Zoloft or something along those lines and it just really makes me think about the old days with my grandfather and great-grandfathers there was no such thing for a man besides liquor men just weren't meant to be happy they had responsibilities and families to take care of and nobody wanted to hear any other troubles make damn sure didn't want to hear about your feelings and emotions

[@dedogster]

We had a strait line wind storm early in May, one of wrost storm we had in years, worse than the tornados of a few years ago. Stay safe!

[@alankessel8891]

I can see that you guys are getting rocked really bad again tonight with weather and I’m hoping and praying that you are all OK and I hope there was no damage whatsoever!

[@schnakenberglloydsue7313]

Great video Chet. So sorry you all have been hit so hard and had so much damage!!! Our prayers are with you. Take care!!

[@harveystephens6115]

Good thing y’all all safe!

[@jeffclark3558]

I have a Milwaukee battery 16 inch bar. Love it. A little heavy, but cut’s good.

[@roberthoyt3172]

Struggling seems to be the theme for 22.....storms keep coming...things keep breaking......and of course expenses through the roof. We are about 20 minutes east of Brian Brown....we deal with about the same weather as they do....STRUGGLING!

[@jameswilliams-fr2tp]

Prayers continue for you all my friend

[@lewdog789]

chet that dump trailer was a great buy! for you and your family sake I wish it wasn't so busy! keep on doing what you guys do it does more for others then you will ever know!!

[@kathymulcahy4318]

Through it all you guys can still smile and power on. God bless

[@thedonleroy]

These storms are getting to be a huge pain in the butt. We had another one last night. I hope you guys didn't get any more damage from it. Unfortunately I heard someone died down by Alexandria. The elevator in Elbow Lake lost another bin last night. Lots of people without power for several hours again. Trees down again. I hope these storms stop.

[@mikejarvis7701]

Prayers and I hope things can be rebuilt. Crazy part of Montana is so dry again this year they will lose crops again.

[@chriswellensiek8363]

The chain saw does wonders. We have one that we use and the battery last quite a while.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

All of you are some hard working guys!

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Chet Dougo Eric Broodie that was a great clean up damaged hauled off just can't tally so much damage you we get through it

[@cabinvibesebaystore8956]

Thank you 🙏

[@TerrellSpivey]

So so sorry you guys are experiencing such bad weather and damage. Will continue to keep yall in prayer. We're in dier need of rain this way. You guys keep Encouraged

[@aarongrabowski3775]

Equipment and buildings can be repaired. I’m just really glad that everyone is ok. Stay safe Larson family.

[@AbesNbacon]

“You know if you don’t laugh you’ll cry.” Best quote for the whole country. Keep safe and well all. Keep your chins up Larson Crew.

[@stevehaken]

The dump trailer works great! Good buy Chet.

[@stevekissel605]

Praying for you 🙏 Great video 👍 👍

[@ROCK-s1t]

That's gotta really suck well maybe better luck next year hopefully you have a nicer hot summer better than rain have a blast 😀

[@3vs547]

What about your yard, Chet? So sorry for your troubles. We've had a few of those storms blow through here over the years too and it's no fun cleaning and fixing up the damage. I didn't used to be afraid of the storms but now I feel a little on edge when some weather is predicted for our area.

[@joedennison2972]

Really impressed with the strength and grip action of the grapple attachment.

[@chrisgossman6512]

Always happy to get my like 👍 in on your videos. Happy subscribers 😀 !

[@jeffmcbride469]

The history of the family and the farm is cool.

[@liamharvey9058]

Wish you guys the best

[@mikenawrocki1837]

I admire all your attitudes during this hard time. Just keep pushing on. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@jesseguerra2762]

Tropical weather time in south Texas pretty much dry waiting on the Milo cotton is flowering looks really good so far

[@stevenboughner7255]

Chet' Back in the mid 70's we had a wet spring and it stayed wet into early summer and we wound up planting soybeans a few day after the 4th of July they made around 35 bushels a acre. That's not great but better than nothing. You still have a little time left if the rain stops but it looks really wet so a 1/2 to 1 inch of rain a week will keep it wet. rain levels usually start dropping this time of year where you can get a few acres planted. Hang tough and keep the faith.

[@starship151]

It's amazing how much use the Jolly Green Giant dump cart is getting! When you bought it Chet I thought it would get a little use but it is really showing its value.

[@RSimons30]

Either are no fun, up in NY we had some straight line winds a few years ago, made a big mess. Hoping your cleanup goes smoothly and no more damage!

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

Well coming from a person in Arkansas it depends on the size of the twister. but you can also get straitline winds and down burst that can be as dangerous or more than tornados.

[@philwarwick4287]

Sorry to see and hear of the weather conditions in Minnesota and across America giving honest hard workers a rough time. We understand in Australia how weather can really play havoc with livelihood, moral and deadlines. Atm we are experiencing a mild winter so nothing like the drama's your way. If anything the small snow field's that we do have around the Snowy Mountains are actually covered in snow which is good for those who ski. Thanks for the great video's I look forward to each one, truly one of the best show's on you tube.

[@johncook3817]

Why is it called a pay loader! In the UK we call them articulating loading shovels. Interesting video. Sorry for all the damage it bust be disheartening!

[@rickhenderson6441]

Dougo, being your age I recognized that look you gave Brodie @ 13:15 Dad got it from Grampie, I've got it from Dad, I've given it to a hired man or two on the farm over the years. You folks have been through a lot over the last year. Wishing you the best from Northern Maine.

[@terrybowser7279]

ChoreTime bin bits the dust. Worked there for 32 years. Good luck with all the repairs and new equipment.

[@jeffburnham6611]

Spent many an autumn hunting pheasants around Graceville and Ortonville as my relatives own a ranch near Ortonville.

[@kingofhearts3703]

Amazing how you guys all keep your spirits up like you do.

[@DashPar]

Incredible Bobcat commercial!!😂👍🏻 Praying for y’all 🙏🏻

[@edmeeks4982]

Prayers for you guys, definitely been an unique year so far as weather is concerned.

[@carl_h]

The struggle bus showed up and its one of those British double decker ones

[@ChrysanthsMum]

New Jersey prayers are with you all. I cannot even imagine. 🙏

[@fatherofmany85]

Love Doug's shirt!

[@bm-is2vs]

thanks guys

[@thomascarey2941]

Thank you for giving us information about the insurance issues.

[@billpotmesil]

We need more Randy! He has a great dry sense of humor!

[@mikeross5927]

Our hearts go out to yall.

[@dalebraun5497]

Went through a derecho in Iowa in August 2020. 45 minutes of 100-140 MPH winds. NOT FUN. My daughters house lost half her roof and while it stayed on the foundation the walls moved so much that drywall nails popped, doors went askew. Others lost whole roofs from wind and/or tree damage. Worst of all was losing elec for 1-3 weeks due to downed transmissions lines. Farms were hit hard, like yours, as storage bins were empty and susceptible to punch ins or pushed off foundations. The storm was 40-50 miles wide and 400 miles in length (estimated). Best of luck finding contractors to help in the rebuilds and do watch out for the "storm chasers" who talk a good talk but walk off with the money.

[@jimclary7309]

It's sad when mother nature takes the wheel,everything you accomplished is half destroyed. You guys are having a rough start of the season. Hopefully things turn around. Prayers for all 🙏🙏

[@packoutjunkie160]

Have the same Milwaukee chainsaw and love it!!

[@joycerninor]

My heart breaks for all of you ....amazing that you can be so positive about this mess .....love you guys 💖💗💔❗

[@stephensabatos898]

Dang Chet I'm sorry to hear about another storm , just glad nobody got hurt . I can't imagine the moral being to high right now , there's always a silver lining out there .

[@LtdES7638]

Prayers to all effected by the winds. The weather around the world has gone nuts. Stay safe all u guys. Let's hope that's all for the year

[@asquithmainlines699]

That cement pad would have been great under the garbage bin. I am sure Dougo double checked to make certain that power was off but I was still a bit nervous watching that. Especially when you grabbed it bare handed. Stay safe guys, fatigue creates more possibility for accidents to occur.

[@mklx]

Best line “If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry” -Chet

[@stevenkaras4562]

So much damage, it's beyond strong language. Hoping it is behind you and now you can focus on farming and making a good crop. Larson Farms, always moving forward!

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Build grain bins similar to concrete sileage pits, with a Quonset roof. Have to figure out how to aerate seed, loading & unloading, but it'd be more stormproof.

[@stevetrowbridge7101]

Thankfully no was hurt god bless

[@Jimleben]

y'all hang in there! it's gotta get better! Y'all are handling it with style!

[@jkmcp45]

As your dumping the opposite side of you lift is returning oil unless it’s been converted to single acting but you need down pressure to bring box back

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

Dang if it was for bad luck with the weather this year, you guys would not have any luck at all. I like the old hand crank corn sheller by the fuel tank. Glad everyone is safe.

[@larryfreeman7979]

Have you considered trading in the struggle bus on a struggle train? lots more room for all the 2022 problems.

[@maryanndeming7672]

so sorry, keep up the good work. praying for you all.

[@andrewwhiteman2023]

I hate to see you guys go through another bad storm. I know the feeling, we had a 40 minute bad wind storm come through our farm and took out a lot of our cattle fence. I did have a question for you guys, where did you guys get your skid steer grapple bucket at?

[@Granmom813]

I cried for you. I am so sorry you get the weather shaft this year. We sure have to be hardy here in MN.

[@smoochmcguire5291]

Great video thanks again

[@Jayhawk226]

Big Bob is like the Big Swede of equipment. Doing work.

[@dedogster]

We had a stright line storm , drecho storm last may caused over $700 million in damages.

[@chalistompers7466]

do you have any videos of you guys filling the fuel tanks up? that seems pretty interesting.

[@markthompsom6949]

Enjoying your videos and just subscribed to your channel.

[@floorpizza8074]

Let's see if we can get Chet a new record for thumbs up on a video. God knows the good peeps at Larson Farms deserve it.

[@rachelt2482]

Great video Chet! Take care!

[@kevinjohnson5214]

Sorry to see that happened .how depressing. I can't imagine.

[@oldfarmer4700]

I want to see that old hand corn sheller between the fuel tanks. When my families farm sold on auction I wasn’t told about it and I planned to buy a few things that meant something to me but wasn’t able.

[@Krieghandt]

Normally, you might chance it, but with the storms rolling through, yer gonna need the insurance. your new dump trailer tracks really nicely.

[@finleylatham4753]

Great videos keep it up 👍

[@AndreZA979]

Good luck guys, what a mess.

[@paulsmith8212]

Great job!

[@MC-re2ry]

This Iowan is feeling for you.

[@exotictones1054]

Love the dump trailer.

[@colinkulasik1128]

Well there is some good news with the quonset barn being totalled, you can reside the shed that Dougo keeps telling us to not look at. Lol

[@macking104]

cant you use the big logs for firewood this winter, either for your family or neighbors? cant you canibalize some bins to fix others? other farmers have moved bins from one pad to another and temp removed lower panels.

[@jeffalleshouse9783]

Praying for you larsons, god bless!

[@burtzorn4059]

You guys just can't get a break. Hang in there, most can be rebuilt. Get some rest and stay positive.
