I live in Salt Lake City , Utah . I love watching your blog . I hope that the rest of America can see what The American Farmers do and go thru to provide the us with all of its produce and other product such as all meat products . I really believe that the biggest help that can be given to all of you is reduce FUEL costs in order to transport all products needed in this country . LAURA FARMS God bless your parents for and your family for showing the way to getting this country back to the people and not the government . Thank you .

[@CaliforniaSoulCCE9]

Thank you from a UMC employee. So thrilled we made this happen. It’s a beautiful day in California. Amazing unprompted introduction.

Hey Laura. My mother is a direct descendant of the guy of Ferguson who made the Massey Ferguson tractors.

[@boilerbuller]

Laura, If you would like some seats down at the finish line next year let me know! We have season tickets! I would be happy to let you have them since we don't get to every pull for the week!

[@phongon2005]

Great extend pole. It does not vibrate.

[@thomasarussellsr]

I'm so glad y'all could come see how we do conventions and shows in my back yard. I grew up in the east end of Louisville, and now live about 28 miles south out in the country south of Louisville in Bullitt county KY. The area in the east end where I grew up was farm land when I was a kid, and now it is all shopping centers and high end housing suburbs for the upper middle class and upper class folks. Last time I drove through there I didn't even recognise much of anything other than our old house, the elementary school, and the first business that got built when I was in my junior year of high school. It's amazing how much an area can change in 34 years. I left for the Army in 1988 and now the farmer's fields are covered with businesses and housing developments that are mostly older than my kids. Thanks to young people like you two and your families, we still have farmer's out there feeding us. So thank you for what y'all are doing. Here in the last couple of years they are putting warehouses and distribution centers closer and closer to our "new" home (over 200 year old L&N bunk house) that we bought 11 years ago, running more farmer's out of the area, for "progress". I can't afford to move again, so I hope and pray for you the progress leaves your family alone for generations to come.

[@kurtcraig3421]

what i liked was that laura never looked at the camera once while she was driving. total concentration on the road. plus seat belts.

[@steelvet3133]

Laura, I just found your channel this morning and subscribed! It's so nice to find like minded folks with an upbeat outlook....with hope. I'm a Maintenance Tech by trade and have a sticker in my office and mechanical rooms that say "everything is figureoutable". You guys are a breath of fresh air! Great job on the military truck. I was smiling big as you all when I heard it fire up, and watching you drive it. You all are by far my favorites to watch!! God Bless!

[@scottsharp7589]

National Farm Machinery Show is awesome. We’ve been taking our FFA kids there for 29 years 😃

[@larryritch591]

Boy I tell you Ms Laura nothing is more enjoyable than watching you and your bubbling personality on these videos you make . keep it up you are a shining star

[@cynicalrabbit915]

Ahhh, nostalgia! Only ever attended one farm show as a teen. One of the local farmers hosted it. Yep it was open air no big buildings to house the exhibitors. Always loved the equipment displays at the County Fair. Don't expect to ever make it to either ever again. Heavy sigh... Tractor pulls are great. At a small one they would put an appropriate weight tractor on the sled then as the sled came past we members of our FFA Chapter would jump onto the sled and grab hold of the vehicle on the sled to add weight the farther down the track the tractor pulling the sled would go. In between pulls we relaxed on folding chairs set ìn two long rows down either side of the track. For the smaller tractors they used a 1/2 ton pickup as the initial weight. Getting on the sled as it passed by was a little harder as the pickup was close to the width of the sled so not much room for your feet on the edge of the sled and still stand upright, grab onto the sides of the bed, open window or the extended mirrors. Great fun but being a live weight on the sled at a tractor pull was tiring.

[@Aciz983]

Loved the farm small scale model...perfect for the Machinery show. I just wish ordinary people , parents, would show their kids how farms work and the scale model would be perfect to have it go around any state or country with people that could educate kiddos. Nice vid as usual, you guys never disappoint.

[@paulstutzman3089]

Tractor pulls are the best motor sport ever to watch and get in the pits and see all there is to see!

[@bobbolieu9013]

Farm shows are inspiring and energizing. It gets a body stirred for spring

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Laura, you make my day brighter just from hearing you say good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking us along to the tractor pull and machinery show, it was really awesome. Glad you made it home ok. When it snows some people have no common sense and they are the ones causing the accidents. Sooo dangerous.

[@ronaldcarter9860]

Great video Laura...thx for taking us to the farm show in Kentucky...and looking forward to following Grant's progress on the military truck

[@sparsrus]

Live Life to Its Fullest you two! I enjoy the benefits of living a good, clean wholesome life. and thank you to all the Farmers who make it possible for the rest of us to enjoy the fruits of their labore. Farmers and Truckers are the life blood of this country and the world. seems many have forgotten or have no clue. but those of us that do know thank you...

[@manelson647]

That looked like a lot of fun! Boy! The miniature farm set up was awesome. I would love to have had that growing up. Thanks for taking us with you. 🥰

[@donwilliams3626]

Kentucky loves farmers. Glad you made it home safely and hope to see you back next year. Blessings, Don

[@andrewthompson8801]

I'm glad you got to see your first tractor pulls! I go to one every year. The amount of horsepower they have is amazing.

[@richardnott9587]

Grant put grease in that seal before you install and it will help hold the spring and keep it in place and the grease will wash out in the next oil change. Laura it's spring cleaning time I pulled all there covers out from under my skid loaders this week and washed all the underside out first. So many farmers forget that part until they crack the oil pan.

[@howardroache9262]

I started watching you show here . I like it very much as a former farmer I very much respect the farmer keep up the great videos thanks again for your videos and great happiness to you and grant

[@danfinley3690]

What a great video thanks for taking us on a tour of the farm show glad ya made it back home safe

[@timdarst]

So glad you made it to Louisville, my hometown. I am glad you enjoyed your visit.

[@miked7745]

16:18 "Sitting down at a table with chairs to eat food, there's just something about it" Truer words have never been spoken HAHA. Love watching ya'll.

[@lewthrasher4194]

Glad you both, oops all 3 got back home safely. That show brought back some memories. I use to love going to the tractor pulls. Much louder than monster truck shows.

[@jimcarlisle2309]

Really like your videos, make’s my day exciting!

[@LogiForce86]

Grew up seeing Q8 Team Popeye (1989 build with 2 Allison V12 engines) myself here in the Netherlands. They become champions in the Dutch National Championship and European Championship.

[@ronhochstetler5648]

Awesome on the new sponsor. They chose wisely for a spokesperson. Thank you for letting us know you made it home safely

[@Middletownfire2012]

How fun! Was my hometown where I was born and raised! Hope you enjoyed!

[@lewthrasher4194]

Also as someone mentioned about the scale sized farm is very cool.

[@pappamike6231]

Bunch of my tractor pull buddies from WI go to the show every year. They took their families this year and had a blast. One thing you didn't show was the autonomously driving tractors. Wild.

[@johnniehenderson9440]

I think it is cool 😎 that you all come down to the show. Kentucky offers a lot more you need to visit more often

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

Back in the day when I was moving pipe it was 40" aluminum pipe with 5' risers in corn, we had to move by hand. Some fields had guns which were moved by hand and pipe attached to the gun. It would shoot about 60'.

[@davemason2066]

Laura, I rewatched this latest video of yours! You do such an excellent job recording & editing your videos! I have no idea how you do it all! Your videos are both educational & entertaining. You have this beautiful smile & warm, welcoming personality that is just like a magnet to your viewers! Your intro to your new channel sponsor, UMC, was so professional & informative! I hope your arrangement with UMC is mutually beneficial & profitable. I love family business; had one myself! Bravo Laura, you are doing so much, so we’ll! Keep up the great work!🚜🚜

[@bobbolieu9013]

Really glad that you two had a safe and great trip. It gave you a nice break

[@mikemullay5622]

I go to a lot of antique car swap meets and like you have experienced I see the same vendors at many of the same swap meets. Love your channel!

[@khialoza7990]

Everytime I watch your videos I get so jealous about your weather, tonight into Monday we are suppose to get a snow storm 10-12 inches. My county fair has tractor pulls and it's amazing how loud it gets. Love watching your videos

[@fredwheineiv]

You , Grant, and the rest of your family are living my dream. I am from Washington, DC where my greatgrandfather had a dairy farm in the city.

[@davidschlecht3016]

Laura, Grant, great video on the tour of the amazing farm show. A lot of amazing equipment. It's amazing that you were in some wicked weather and so dry in Nebraska. Get ready for spring and planting.

[@gb18188]

Praying for you! Stay faithful and always give God the glory!! Y’all are a blessing and never stop putting Christ first.

[@davegift197]

Glad you made it home. This was a definitely slick and difficult storm across Kansas, Missouri and points North. Very icy beneath a good snow. Grant's going to keep at it until he gets his skid steer. Can't wait until I see what you were able to line up to test in the fields on your channel.

[@Michaeljv1968]

I attended the 2019 NFMS. I was working for IntelliFarms , now Agi SureTrack. What a great show. Best trade show I have ever attended. Glad you got to experience it. Lots to learn.

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

Your pronunciation of Louisville was perfect. Welcome to Derby City! I generally stay away from all the big shows here in Louisville, except when I worked for a trade show company for a couple years, and displays, graphics and rentals had to be set up and taken down. Thank you for taking us all along and showing us this side of a trade show through your eyes. Ear protection at a tractor pull is a must, or so I've heard! Stay safe y'all!

[@rodyoung6441]

I'm old so I can say this, you're just too cute for words, but smart hard working can and willing to do what has to be done, definitely hope you guys get along off camera as you do on, love watching happy couples working together, best of luck to the both of you.

[@billnowlin9148]

12 hours! Long trip! 12 hours will almost get your from one side of TEXAS to the other. I love your videos! Keep smiling .🤣

[@bobbolieu9013]

Tractor pulls are such a huge shot of energy, and oh yeah, roaring engines

[@RDW303]

Welcome to Missouri. Some times, we will try to have all four seasons in a 24 hour period. Wednesday, it was in the low 60s. By 8, it started raining. Around 3 in the morning, it changed to a heavy sleet. And to finish it off, by 8, we were having a heavy snow fall with strong winds. By the end at my house, we had an inch of ice covered by 5 inches of snow. My two driveways exit on a hill. It takes the highway department on average 3 days to come. Cannot clear the road with a tractor (illegal), so I have to hand shovel to road and throw ice melt so we can get out if necessary.

[@daco109]

I've got family in the Louisville / Carrollton a area. Usually takes us about 6 to 8 hours from Northern Illinois to get there. I've been to RV shows before but never farm shows. It was pretty much the same, ton of vendors, different dealers and manufacturers. All in one building. Never seen indoor tractor pulled before. Once I've seen and been outdoors.

[@robbhester6600]

Laura - the look on your face after you saw the big engines run was so awesome. I watched the entire thing and you and grant are so great together. Have fun and be safe. Good bless yall

[@donburg5125]

Hey youngster enjoy your time in Kentucky with all the new products that you can't even come close to purchasing. Love you sunshine

[@bigun447]

I was at the first tractor pull there 53 years ago. No smoke educators and the big super modifieds actually made ceiling panels fall. Indoor pulling started there.

[@aaronsbarker]

Love the fact that you've got a sponsor.... and they deal with pivots. That's awsome!

[@raydelossantos2961]

Glad you two got home safe and keep up the good job on your videos

[@sterlingspencer2934]

It got better when you said Good Morning ! Congratulations on getting another sponsor. Family run businesses are the best!

[@earlhollar1906]

Grant is the luckiest man, Laura has the sweetest good morning on KZbin. Makes you want to get up and get moving.

[@sterlingspencer2934]

@@earlhollar1906 true . Her smile is a ray of sunshine by itself.

[@westrotter7847]

Blizzard's and Challenger's dont mix well together !! Lol. Grant and Laura you're both so special !!👍👍👍

[@dalewolf4020]

Nice job Deutz-Allis. I wanted to see the inside of your cabs that were LOCKED!! 😂😂

[@markgreen8706]

That scaled down farm was awesome. Love your videos. Praying you guys made it home safely

[@tjake490]

I live close enough that I could see you out and about sometime and I hope you won't mind if I say hi should that happen. I watch most all of your video's and it's fun seeing some of the familiar places we share in this part of NE. Thanks you guys, I really like your channel. After all, farmers feed the world.

[@Maxid1]

About 30 years ago when my son was little I took him to see monster trucks. He was a huge fan of them. It was Also indoors. I had never gone before but did one brilliant thing, I brought us ear plugs. I figured it would be loud and I avoided the gouging prices they charged for them at the event. It’s much more fun to watch when you’re not putting your fingers in your ears, or going deaf.

[@WarpFactor999]

Laura!!! Wonderful trip! Thanks so much for bringing us along. Note: you look exceptionally good - ya clean up pretty good there lass! Give Grant a big hug for us!

[@lynpostlethwait3083]

Very great new video again and you all had a great time with the farm show

[@davemason2066]

Laura you did a magnificent job of introducing your new channel sponsor UMC. You sounded very knowledgeable about the company and their products. Just like a seasoned sales rep.!

[@johnF56]

You guys seem to have a great life, thanks for sharing.

[@alanwilliamson1957]

I take my tractors to the tractor pulls in my town. Lots of fun.

[@dominickthornburghakaTRG]

I went to the Kentucky farm show in 2008. We drove up from Texas. Heck of a drive. I have tried to go back but life happens every time I plan it. It was awesome and massive. I also went to the Corvette museum in Bowling Green, and the Cumberland falls. That was fun as well.

[@kosamui]

I just wanted to say that I’m impressed that She gave that commercial 100%. Well done! 👌👍🙏🌹❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@melkingrealestate]

You two are the best. I look forward to your videos.

[@jimmoles6250]

In October, at the same facility in Louisville, is the national outdoor power equipment (OPEI) show. That same facility is packed to the roof with mower equipment. It's unbelievable how many manufacturers there are, both whole goods and accessory stuff.

[@jerseycornboy]

Actually some nice people, pleasure watching.

[@mobyhunr]

Thank You UMC! I'm thinking a mechanical 6bt might be better than that pig. When I pulled 460 out they always had cracked heads and excessive ware related to oil design. Not quite an industrial motor.

[@michaellogsdon544]

I was there this morning. I have been attending for over 30 years. Show up in November for the national livestock show and rodeo .

[@fredoropesa4939]

I love watching you and grant you too inspire me you guys are always 😀

[@brucejensen5697]

I just recently came upon your videos. You and Grant both sure just such great energy and such great attitude towards what you do. I helped out with some small farming when I was young and now you brought me back to memories of great times doing really neat things. I really enjoy your videos keep it up and good luck to the both of you

[@dbkyliving8326]

Glad you enjoyed Louisville.

I used to love tractor pulls when I was younger. My uncle used to do pony pulls also.

[@jtamsett]

I grew up in NY dary country, near where you visited.

[@PaulRhodes420]

Laura! If you're still in Kentucky, Lexington has farms you might like to see as well as the Castle William Shatner owns, or did at one time! The Kentucky Derby horse farms are huge! I'm from Kentucky, however I live in North Carolina now. Wish I was up there visiting my son, we could all meet sometime!? Anyway, safe travels!! Can't wait to see y'all race those tractors down your field!!! LOL!! 🏁 🚜✨✨💥💨

[@T_Humphries]

****Laura****Grant**** have y'all ever visited the Pioneer Village in Minden Nebraska? It's an hour from Aurora and would be a short road trip. I spent two days quickly moving thru all those buildings and still did not see everything. I highly recommend going and I highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes :)

[@NHGUIDE88]

The two of you have an infectious enthusiasm that is just so much fun! good for y'all! keep that feeling alive and keep the videos coming!

[@SerbanOprescu]

Actually, the seal ring installation was done properly. The 'holy book' says it matters little (to zero) what method one chooses as long as the result is correct. If you used soft tools (wood/plastic) and inserted the seal axially, then you're good.

[@NorthernOhioRailroadAction]

Fantastic video really enjoyed watching it love the progress of the farm and the army truck I'm glad you guys had a great time at the National farm machinery show keep up the great work thanks again and have a wonderful day

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Thank you for taking us to the farm show and sharing with us as always. Hoping you all will be back in New York this year? Le t me know and we will get you to a grape vineyard to see how those farmers do their work. Stay safe.

Glad you made it back safely. It was quite the snowstorm just south of us. Thanks for the video.

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

You can take all this rain back with ya to Nebraska. We’re here in central Indiana about an hour and a half north of the show and we are flooding. Glad yal had fun. Didn’t know they had the show so early this year.

We have one that goes on each sumer here local county fair its a Blast they combine tractor 🚜 pulls , truck and also Semi pulls!! It is a great time I think Grant would love the Semi Pulls!! 😊👍👊

[@vincewilson1]

I sure hope you folks made it back without going in the ditch or something. That big semi at the end looked in pretty bad shape. I hope the driver is unhurt. What a job salvaging that vehicle.

[@a-aroncarpenter6616]

very cool!! I am a competition director and safety tech for the empire state pullers in NY. The red tractor you had video of is one of our regulars!! very cool! if you have any questions about them or how to see them in your area id be glad to assist you to see how close to home they get. It gets pretty addicting!
