The farmers around my wife’s college used to spread liquified hog manure on the fields, and it was suffocating on campus. Thanks for the memories!😅

[@GateOpenersDirect]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen any barn cats in any of your vids? …..a few ‘mousers” will make a difference! Only feed them in the morning so they are hungry during nocturnal hunting hours.

[@robertbradford3461]

Seriously we never ever fed our barn cats, not once was food put down for them, they are feral cats, almost completely wild, the only attention they ever got was if we noticed one sick then to the vet after capture, also if you feed your cats in the morning why would they mess up their supper by hunting mice at night

[@leatherwoodjay]

@@robertbradford3461 haha...agreed! On a large farm there is probably plenty to dine on. We had barn cats on 4 acres in a suburban city so the buffet was not so plentiful. Also had a bunch of bleeding hearts who would put food down if I did not. Generally though, if they were hungry at night we didn't have a mouse problem. It was a horse barn so there was always plenty of food for the mice to be attracted to.

[@jeramy2398]

A hungry cat only hunts to eat a fed cat hunts for fun. Fed cats kill more mice. I spend less on cat food than did on mouse poison and haven't seen a mouse in barn or buildings in years

[@robertbradford3461]

@@jeramy2398 you kinda said it there, where do the dead mice go, if the cats don't eat them and they won't eat them unless they are hungry, so you go around and pick them up or does it attract other critters to eat them, might as well get traps

[@jeramy2398]

@@robertbradford3461 An old couple told me that years ago at farm store and since I've kept food dish full haven't seen a mouse.

[@harveydrake2324]

One way I keep mice out of my combine is to sprinkle cloves in the cab and anywhere there is wires or anything else they like to chew on. I think it would also work in your shed. Mothballs work too, but they need replacing every couple of weeks. I put cloves in my old combine, a 1978 Gleaner L2, last year, and it still smells slightly like cloves now that I am done harvesting this year. I love watching your stuff, you are such a pleasure to be around. Keep up the good work!

Since feed trucks usually only have one person in the cab at a time, you could change the nice passenger seat to the driver position since it looks like the driver's seat is shot. My feed truck operator appreciated it when I changed the seats on the feed truck. pretty easy to do.

Laura rain comes as a result of Saints prayers. I talked to Ranchers this summer complaining about the drought. I recommended the prayer of faith. We ended up praying a prayer of agreement for it to rain 10 inches over thirty days. Well rain. Came and it's green again and the grass is growing. We weren't the only ones praying I know. Many people were and are praying. God answers prayers especially the prayers of His saints. Prayer is always the answer to so many problems in life. God bless . Toss the hog poo out of their pens and they do not smell.

I would love to see a video on seed corn and bean processing including the explanation of why seed corn can't be combined with conventional combine versus shipping ears off to stationary plant to be processed. Love to see the how the seed plant removes the kernels and separates out from the cob, leaves etc.. The one video of a soybean seed processing plant didn't show the actual inside of the cleaners, sizers, vision systems, coaters etc.. You could show us the inside of the black box seed processing plants we all drive by but are not allowed to understand.

[@prestonburton8504]

Laura and Grant may be taking their time to 'bring us up to speed'. They may feel they will loose interest getting down to that level, until they are ready. They are reaching many that have no idea what a harvester or a pivot even is. God is with this family. Please, no offence intended.

Grant, you gotta love a girl who gets as excited over farm equipment as she did getting her diamond right! 😉 The only thing I fear about mice, is the possibility of getting bit! Despise destructive rodents!!! I now use peppermint oil soaked cotton balls, to keep them away! Had them get into a collectible car once. 😖😖😖😡😡😡 They reek!!!!!!

Most "city slickers" have absolutely NO concept of the capital investment required to operate a modern farm--easily into 7 figures on many farms. And all of that equipment needs constant maintenance and frequent repairs. Operating expenses are also enormous, especially today with diesel fuel and fertilizer prices at or near record levels. Farmers like Laura, Grant, and their families deserve the respect and admiration for what they do. Without them, we would starve. And, yes, I've worked around both hog and cattle operations. As they say in the industry, that "awful" smell is just the smell of money.

[@alecepting1371]

What you're saying is that they live high on the hog which can, in fact, be a money pit, or something like that ;-) Those pivots certainly require constant maintenance.

I was looking up some of my ancestors the other day and found some info that was new to me. My great-great-grandmother's maiden name was Nelson. She lived somewhere in North Dakota. This suggests to me that your husband, kids and grandkids could be some kind of 4th or 5th cousins of mine. I once introduced myself to the owner of a grocery in a small town in Eastern Oregon, who my Mom had told me was her 2nd cousin. When we met, I told him I was sure I was his 2nd cousin, once removed. With barely a pause, he responded "What do you want? A free Coke?" I didn't get a free Coke, but he did introduce me to a bunch more of my grandpa's cousins.

Hi Miss Laura! A few questions: What do you mean, (I forget how you said it, exactly) when you said a special crew/different crew comes and takes the seed corn to a plant, treats it, then brings it back! 1) Who are they? 2) Is it a service you have to pay to come and do it? 3) Why don't you harvest it yourselves?
