Took my 12yo twins to Empire Farm Days yesterday. Met Laura and Grant shortly after our arrival. For all that watch, these appear to be real people! I carried on a conversation with Grant and Laura for a few moments and I was convinced… real people (friendly too!). I honestly wished that I could have asked a hundred or so more questions so as to further carry on our conversation. Grant and Laura, I know that you get too many comments to read, but I hope that know that you made my day!! Real and nice people can be hard to find… THANK YOU FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE!!!

[@deans178]

Best Smiles I've ever seen on Laura, Jo-Jo & Grant! Bringing Joy to your viewers!

[@markrasmussen7918]

You should come to the East Idaho Farm Expo in Pocatello Idaho in January. It’s all inside and all the big equipment is there. Mostly grain and potato equipment. And then go snowmobiling in Yellowstone Park.

[@unclebones2488]

Thank you Laura & Grant great farm show , so good to see JO JO giving the tour

[@robertlafollette2236]

That was great Laura, great to see you with JoJo. Bless you.

[@thomasmcdonald2219]

I love Grant. I think he’s an awesome individual. Very smart guy.

[@1984shadow]

You guys are doing an amazing job of bringing us inside your tours. You're the best. Tim and the girls did a great job of prepping the NYFG farm for your tour.

[@robertdavison328]

It was a pleasure meeting Laura and Grant today at Empire farm days. I really enjoyed talking with both of you. If you get a chance to come back to New York the things you need to see are the thousand islands, Adirondack mountains, Niagara Falls, emerald lake, herkimer diamond mine and most importantly Biar and Cedar beagle club where my little beagle Lucie Lou runs. Thank you for sharing your family with us. Ps Grant if you ever want to go snowshoe hare or cottontail rabbit hunting let me know.

[@joefudd]

Adirondack, they make great chairs! LOL

[@tomyost6330]

I asked and hoped they will return next year. Good people.

[@andban92]

It's soo awesome to see JoJo from hating being on any kind of video or instagram to leading you throught their fam yard. She improved soo much over soo short time.

[@tomyost6330]

Might have had something to do with being with Laura in Nebraska and being in her video and decided it was fun. Good for her, right?

[@whitebutterfly13]

Laura- "This is my service cow. I need it on the plane with me."

[@LtColDaddy71]

We outlawed the service llamas and donkeys … pretty sure cows are part of the same ban.

[@glf001]

Love these video's Laura. it is especially cool to see the New York Farm Girls Farm from a different perspective. Really cool! Thank You!

[@martinfronek3151]

Great job of sharing. I grew up on a dairy farm. I think it great you and Grant expanded your knowledge base. Have fun.

[@benhall2146]

Love Grant's machinery side trips!!!!

[@amygriego9122]

I loved see you face with the jersey cows 🐮 and Grants face you both looked like kids in a candy store because I do the same thing when I take my son to a dairy farm here New Mexico

[@adked1841]

Im so glad you all got to see the dairy farm...Its quite an operation...And like Laura, the Jersey calves are the best part!

[@davidschlecht3016]

Great tour at the farm show and the dairy farm. This country is so diverse and the types of farms and the expense to operate the farms of today is truly an educational experience.

[@tomyost6330]

It's great to hear you both had a wonderful time in upstate New York. It truly is special here in many ways. With big Lake Ontario, the Finger Lakes, and all the other lakes and rivers and mountains, there is a lot to see and do and enjoy here, including some great fishing. I hope you both will return again. I will definitely attend next year's show to meet you both and buy some merch. Thanks. Take care.

[@Maxid1]

8:39 That’s a huge operation. We never had more manure than we could spread on the fields. Since crop rotation was used, and there was always a pasture that could be used after the cows clipped it down. Something you never see in Nebraska, there were more woods than trees on many farms where I lived. And yes to the rock picking! I’ve picked more rocks than ANY single crop. Probably more than all crops combined. Back then it was a rock sled and bending over one rock at a time. We did have one vegetable garden that we found a boulder in it that’s probably still there. We stopped digging when it was 8 feet around at 8 feet down. Who knows how deep it went. We just put dirt back on it and planted over it.

[@eaglemoose56]

Laura, yes they do to have tile machines in Nebraska! Just 20 miles east of Lincoln the farming area has a lot of tile. Those same/similar machines work in these heavy clay hills. Keep up the good work!

[@railnut8453]

A beautiful farm with beautiful girls!!! Who could ask for more!!!??

[@Maxid1]

I farmed in upstate NY ( about 3 hrs east of where you were). This reminds me of the county fair we had every September. It was a week long and most people, even when they didn’t have a 4-H entry ) would stay all week and sleep wherever. It was the last big event of the summer. School started soon after it ended.

[@vincentriley8953]

Laura you should come to Wisconsin to see the farms that we have here in central Wisconsin it's a mix of crop and cattle farm's if you come you would be amazed at the size and diversity there is!

[@IAM...1111...]

Two different Farm Girls for the price of admission. Thank You (n Grant too. I wouldn't forget a brother)

[@markcollmer4215]

The few hours you spent with nyfgs is a start it takes dedication and an unbelievable amount of very hard work no days off in the dairy industry

[@deepsleep7822]

@Mark: agreed. The one thing I never liked about the dairy industry, but it goes with the territory. A grade school friend of mine, his family owned a dairy farm. They milked twice a day 4 AM and 4 PM.

[@thomascruff786]

A great video Laura farms and the baby calves so cute.

[@eosjoe565]

Thank you so much for the fantastic video. I needed this today.

[@Stahodad]

I always remember the smell and sound of the milking parlor...lots going on there.

[@robertchaffee5662]

When I worked there in the 70's , we only milked 285 twice a day. 2 time's a day. 4 hrs each time.

[@jaessongee8864]

I really like the way you go on to each others farms give it your perspective and vice versa, it really give it a nice touch. Good on yas '

[@nickklose9065]

Was fun seeing NYS farms showcased as they are what helped make NY the Empire State. Appreciated the shout out to Eklund and their amazing Massey Ferguson tractors…I am the proud owner of a 5711SE and love it!!!

[@nancyb9404]

Sorry I missed you at the farm show. I really wanted to but didn't work out. Looks like you had a great time, yes salt potatoes are the best and usually are smaller. Yummy!!! Jersey calves are so cute, also the cows are the best!!!! Hope you had a great time in New York and can come back next year... Will have to keep watching the web store later.

[@francineganmor9952]

Love,love,love,love,love Jo Jo. You are so lucky to meet her.

[@Faelandaea]

I would love to one day live and work on a farm. I can’t afford to though. Thanks to both NYFG and LF for helping people understand farming. Any truck I drive I try to slap a “No Farms No Food” sticker on.

[@jeffr8209]

That was a udderly awesome adventure 🐄!!!

[@studioadmin5792]

Love Laura Farms!!! Great energy!

[@Lord_Edox]

I grew up in central MN surrounded by dairy farms. Just found your channel and love the dairy farm tour. Grant you have not lived till you have run a honey wagon.

[@stevelamb9453]

I'm new to the channel but watched a fair few trying to catch up all I will say is you are very aspiring and I have to say I have never seen anyone smile as much as you ever! you seem very hardworking and really enjoy your family life working life and youtube life to the full really enjoying your videos keep being you :)

[@bradpogue3448]

The farm show was cool. Can’t wait to see the merchandise on the U-tube. The dairy farm was cool as well . God bless stay safe keep on keeping til the next time

[@dgrenier4908]

We really love our ThunderCreek fuel/def trailer. We used transfer tanks in pickup beds for years, I would never go back after getting the fuel trailer. We have extended family that farms near Imperial NE, big difference btw dry land farming vs us in Virginia

[@davidteepell5004]

It was great meeting Laura. I have watched her channel throughout the pandemic. Her smile always made my day.

[@joefudd]

I keep replaying Laura saying "gooood moooorning" over and over! That smile and little laugh are addicting!

[@neilstanford2327]

Wow what an adventure Laura I saw the video of Claudia when you had her come and visit your farm you had loads of fun I bet

[@sallydickinson1408]

Love the NY farm girls farm its cleaner Calves are cute a lot of work

[@Snarkapotamus]

Hopefully, they're not all veal calves, but odds are most of the males are...

[@daroldschleuger2656]

Love the closed caps!

[@JamesSmith-ku6hn]

There's a farmer here that not only uses tile to drain his fields but also uses it to irrigate. He has the tile tied into a canal/ditch system which he can control the level in through various means.(valves, gates & irrigation pumps) The pump when the creek is low will pump water into the canal bringing the water level up and into the tile.

[@brucehodges7889]

Welcome to NY! Wish I could come out and meet you guys. That's quite a dairy farm they operate! I worked on my uncle's dairy farm when I was young but he only milked about 35 cows...Went to one of those farm shows about 50 yrs ago in central NY, and I remember my uncle bought a brand new hay baler...

[@jeffkowalczyk4089]

utter fascinating. laura in the tile machine, i was ready for "make it so number one."

[@thomasbrown9850]

Keep up the good work and keep the blogs coming you are awesome🌹🌹

[@chucktallberg1507]

Wow, that's an awesome booth you have!

[@nathanmelander3995]

Hauling liquid manure was my favorite job when we had our dairy

[@necummins8696]

You are a woman with great voice. Spread the word about Gabby and bringing her home

[@dickhumble4610]

When you have that much cuteness and enjoyment, you can’t help but love life. And people love you too, and Grant!!

[@joefudd]

HEAR! HEAR! :-)

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

such high tech industry in farming. These videos are fascinating.

[@jaysweet8126]

I love that you girls are the only 2 farm chanel's I watch love you have a good day

[@georgesherman5345]

I grew up on a small dairy farm in Vermont. WAAAAAYY smaller than that one. We had a round 50 milk cows. Mostly Holsteins

[@jaym8257]

You guys are so cool. I've always loved farmland. I just drove to and from Wisconsin to Texas and saw a lot of corn, soybeans and wheat. And then a ton of rice in Missouri and Arkansas. I have to say, being a Louisiana guy I am partial to acres and acres of very green rice in flooded fields. About five years ago I heard the investor Jim Rogers opine that a growth job for young people in the future would be farming. Best of luck with it and best of luck negotiating the current inflated prices for everything, especially diesel.

[@brakel8r]

Oh my goodness....you are drinking a Monster Pipeline Punch....that is the best tasting of all. Keep bringin the smiles

[@jimdevilbiss9125]

Living in Maryland where we receive home delivery milk in glass bottles from a local creamery and dairy I find it unique that you never seen milk cows before in person. But then I have ever seen pivots in person just the resulting circles from airplanes. It’s nice to get a different perspective.

[@Johnny_Blaze]

South Mountain?

[@bohemianford1165]

Correction 3:35 they use it for low spots in fields where there are water springs and they are in Nebraska where I live

[@ahotdogisasandwich5716]

Yep definitely tile machines in eastern Nebraska

[@anthonygreener3843]

When you look at the state of Iowa it is a lake under the ground!!!!! I put fiber optical cable in the ditch and when u hit a clay tile pipe witch u can fit a volleyball in it and your trench fills neck deep in water with in 15 minutes

[@clarkholton461]

Laura likes the "Blue Bell" cow the best. Displaced Texan for sure.

[@marinusverwey4446]

Must be payback time when Claudia was at school in Nebraska and came to visit you. Would have been nice if Claudia was there but JoJo did a great job filling in for Claudia.

[@joefudd]

JoJo is a real cutie too.

[@Timberdam]

Thanks for sharing !

[@minicowman]

There's actually quite a lot of tile installed in eastern Nebraska. I've seen these operating there a lot over the years.

[@larryprobus3263]

Incredible video !!!

[@robertchaffee5662]

Kryer Eggs in WNY is another huge farming operation. They lease land from land owners from a few counties. Big equipment!

[@tommyatkins2872]

My cousin has a dairy farm here in the UK. 300 head, its all computerised thesedays, every cow is ID'd as they come through, volume of milk for each one recorded, feed dispensed individually by the computer as required. Works though, increased yield.

[@rogercarl8923]

Grant needs his own show!

[@tomyost6330]

That may not fly well. One of the main attractions to their channel, besides the farming, is how they both interact, as well as showing their love for each other. Having their own channels would change that interaction to just farming. Their strength is together. Peace.

[@jpfarming.50bmg80]

Laura your a credit to farmers on the globe

[@frankhartmeyer9841]

I like those shirts I just might have to get me one or two. Great videos.

[@bluenetmarketing]

Two of the best channels on YT.

[@Timothy-NH]

This was really cool!

[@FreedomRock44]

Such a peaceful scene at 8:48.

[@packetgeek]

Glad to see that there's still a smaller dairy farm in operation. A lot of the family farms in Upstate NY have going out of operation (due to taxes, costs, etc.). Many of them now have a side hustle where they rent their land to the industrial farms, as places where the larger farms can spread their excess manure (they show up in tanker trucks).

[@ihguy544]

That not small were milking 70 cow

[@jeremyg3695]

Creek is pronounced crick west of the Mississippi.😉👍 I love it! Great video of NYFGirls place. Wow mind blowing the milk production 🤯

[@joelfeiock4718]

Its amazing to think that the farms in this video were in New York

[@DANDY1]

Great video guys, laura,Grant, jo,jo,!

[@Per409]

Aside from everything else, Jojo and Laura in one, it doesn't get any better.

[@lindah6954]

Here in East Otto, we have some of the largest dairy farms around. Glow's Farm has 1,200 cows.

[@timsullivan2554]

You are an awesome representative of the Great State of Nebraska. Keep up the good work!

[@kenbuckley7735]

Dang I should of went to the farm show, and how cool to get to visit nyfg farm.

[@lindenhawthorn4761]

I'm from the Dakota's, dairy isn't really a big thing here either so I didn't know what all dairy farmers get into until I started watching Hourigan Dairy(farming fixing fabricating) earlier this year.

[@easyazpie9091]

Laura is just so pure...within Gods Spirit.....she has amazing , loving power. We all do. Amen.

[@jerryshantz8775]

Love them caves, you need one or two 😀👍

[@zepledfan413]

Man I wish I knew this event was going on! I would have come out to meet Grant!

[@redwolf6724]

Yeah JoJo and The NYFarmGirls

[@lycann444]

Shout out from Lockport, NY

[@josephdemarco2643]

An udderly great video today folks! Looks like ya'll are having a wholesome good time! Nice to see different operations and how they function.

[@darkiee69]

Looks like mostly Holstein- Friesian cattle and a few Jerseys mixed in.

[@Stahodad]

500 head is a lot of cows to milk...

[@richnelson2055]

Love the dairy farm tour Also glad to see Grant having fun with the excavator and other large dairy equipment.

[@waynetaylor5227]

when you think of the investment the " milk people " have in their operation and the volitilty of milk prices. Hopefully we got away from pricing milk based on the distance from some place in Wisconsin . Will have to look this up after posting this.

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

[@schafn]

The most impressive thing about the farm was that shop! I've been around dairy farms my whole life but I've never see a shop where they had that much work going on in one building. And how many farmers will take on the job of splitting a tractor and rebuilding the engine? Then there is the mower where they are apparently replacing the engine in that. Impressive. They must have a few expert mechanics working there.

[@chrisdesroches8268]

Loved the video Laura and Grant. NY farm girls are awesome. Glad you had a fine tour of the dairy farm.

[@robertreznik9330]

Laura you should come over to a dairy farm next to my farm in Texas. The family has built one that 500 cows could get lost in. It is not 5,000 or 50,000, but over 120,000. This is an immigrant that started with 8 cows 50 years ago in California.

[@jollyrogerhobbies2386]

you should totally get a booth at Cheyenne Frontier Days next year!

[@jimpait1097]

Millennial Farmer has a few YT videos on tiling his fields in MN.

[@hankosky]

Check out the Fair Oaks Dairy Farm in Indiana. They have a great learning center.

[@williamking2249]

The "poop pit" awesome.👍

[@joefudd]

Some farmers have built anerobic digesters to turn the poop into natural/methane gas to heat their farm houses, workshops and also heat buildings for the cattle/calves in the dead of winter and even produce their own electricity.

[@joshschulte9778]

There are 4 drain tile businesses in my small town of 1600 people in northeast Nebraska and they all stay very busy actually.

[@miroslavpetrlic33]

Greatings from Croatia ♥️
