Local Farmers Help Family with Burned Equipment

[@kirklothert3435]

This video makes me want to cry because it reminds me when the farmers helped with harvest after my dad passed away from cancer in 1989. Thanks for sharing

[@DougFLTRX]

Ain't gonna lie,I shed a tear because of the exact same reason. That's what our neighbors did for us when grandad got down and couldn't farm anymore. Eventually we leased all the ground but if it weren't for the help of even the neighbors who didn't like us lol, we would've been ruined. This is the thing about rural living that is the hardest to convey to people. Mostly I hope they never know because I protect this way of life very selfishly because it's so misunderstood and so important to me. It's good to see these kids now carrying on traditions and sense of community that I experienced as a kid some forty odd years later

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

@@DougFLTRX that's what a lot of people are missing these days. I don't have to agree with your politics or personal preferences. I don't even have to like you. You're good to me, I'll be good to you. You need help, I'll lend a hand. We don't have to see eye to eye to just be good to each other. I can be on bad terms with someone, and will still go out of my way to help them in a time of need. I know what it feels like to be helpless. I also know what it feels like to have a stranger help me back up. I don't want anyone to ever feel the way I've felt before - so I do my best to help where I can. We need to continue to come together and build each other up. Period. That attitude is what I miss.

[@1982MCI]

Back in the 80’s when my Grandpa was having some health issues, he was able to get the crops In but not able to harvest and all of the neighbors and the neighboring Amish came over and told Grandma to not worry bout a thing, they had it covered and they did the same thing. This is what farmers do for other farmers when there’s a time of need. The rest of the country needs to take note and learn from Laura and everyone else in this video. And they do it without asking or expectation if money or anything else!! This is what we as humans are supposed to do when another is suffering but everyone has but farmers have gotten away from this and it’s all about what’s in it for me. Great video Laura, thank you for sharing

[@Encourageable]

When people are stacked up on each other in cities most of them lose their humanity. They don’t recognize it, but they do.

[@cliffterrell4876]

In the Midwest it's still common. Out west, the corporation farms from commiefornia are buying farms in western states and now help isn't available. They think farming is all about their profits and if small farmers have to sell, they just by the land.

[@mrjonesyyy]

Everyone but farmers, really? Humans are here to this day because our ability to help on another. Your comment is ruined by that statement. Yes, sir, its everyone else fault but your own...

Farmers are a family. My grandfather would help his neighbors harvest when weather threatened crops, a neighbor was ill, his equipment was down. The neighbors always did the same. The true definition of neighbor.

That is really cool. A few years ago when I got sick, someone started mowing my lawn for me. I didn't know who it was! I was in BAD SHAPE and in hospital for just short of a month. I was finally able to get out to see who it was and it was my retired next door neighbour. I was like "oh, so YOU'RE the one! Thank you very much!" So...not all city folk have lost their humanity.

@Laura Farms it is very nice to see farmers standing together to help each other out. Just last week, a burning campaign began against the farmers here in South Africa, especially in the Free State province. And we have seen how farmers and non-farmers stand together to help their brothers survive. Thousands of animals dead, hundreds of thousands of hectares burnt down which is very devastating. This is just heartwarming. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN]

The root of all this is Apartheid . If u did not suppress the blacks for so long, this would not happen. History is a truth sayer.

[@ErikGjertsen]

​@@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN What? The Bantu who are torching SA farms and killing the farmers weren't there during apartheid, they've come pouring in from neighboring countries after apartheid ended. If anything, the end of apartheid, unchecked immigration and racism toward the Boer population caused this. History indeed... You should read some.

[@MarkSaiger]

I came from farming background in North Dakota and Minnesota. My grandparents and many friends were farmers. I worked on farms. The harvest was my favorite time. This is what I enjoyed about farming and the goodness of people especially from farming. This was a very well done edit as well! For some reason KZbin reccomended to me a week ago your channel. Might be because I'm heading to Nebraska tomorrow for my KZbin channel too. I'm doing a series this year traveling around the country to help other carpet cleaners with their business. How ever it was suggested, I have binge watched a number of your videos this week. It brings joy to me seeing such wonderful people such as you showing great living in the beautiful Midwest. Continued success to you guys! I don't comment on many videos, but you touched me with your videos this week!

[@peterquinn350]

Kudos to all of those who pitched in to make this happen, especially Laura for using the power of her platform to help raise awareness. We need more of this, people coming together to help their neighbor through a tough time. Best Monday story ever...

@@anja-leben There is nothing evil about friends helping friends getting their lives put back together. I feel sorry for people that have no friends and neighbors to help when they lose their home to fire or the death of a family member. They will never feel the love that comes from it. Farmers are up 2 hours before the sun comes up every morning to start chores or getting ready for the day and work well into the night to get their crops into the ground and bring the crops in to ship to market! I know I have helped them do it working 18 hour days.

[@olenilsen4660]

You`re absolutely right. I´m pleased to see the same spirit in American farmers as we see here in Scandinavia. Farmers have their own mindset, it seems - no matter where they are in the world. It is ultimately about saving the livelihood of the community, I guess. I know I want as many of my neighbours as possible to stay afloat.

[@sabre-ub3op]

@@olenilsen4660 what is your main crop you grow in Scandinavia, do you grow the same crops as Americans grow

[@olenilsen4660]

@@sabre-ub3op Some of the same crops, like wheat, barley, rye and oat. Some corn, beans and peas, but the season is really quite short for those - most of the corn is forage. Rapeseed is also quite common. The northern part of Norway has very little crops at all - but livestock is still held, and the Sami have reindeer herds.
