The Most Excited I’ve Been In A While

[@nebraskamike607]

You young lady definitely got the ole school pioneer spirit! It's so refreshing to see you think and use common sense that so many young people don't have or don't use! Seeing you get excited about the rain and enjoying the sounds of nature is so freaking refreshing! Thank you for sharing this kind lady! Have a beautiful day!

[@henryharder3823]

Thank you . I'm wondering if I'm maybe rowing in your canoe's 😅😂❤

[@FreedomRock44]

I saw the food truck/trailer and the flashlights and then realized it was the band.......Farmers do not mess around.....Like your style!!!!!! THANKS for all you guys do!!!!!!! ALL FARMERS know you are SO Appreciated!!!!!! We know what you do for us!!!!

[@charleskiplinger9904]

The neighbors getting together is awesome and so refreshing to see. Something that is missing in so many areas.

[@GaryReynolds-f1l]

Thank you and your family for once again giving us a glimpse into your lives! Thank you too for staying in the fight and not giving up on feeding our country!

A luxury, Laura twice in one day, who could ask for more! Three times, now I am being silly. You didn't get much sleep the rainy night. Your cat still loves your company even though she has kittens. Love from Mike. ❤

9/6/23 -Great video Laura ! So glad you got Rain!! God Bless our Farmers!

[@tallboy49]

Wonderful rain no wonder you are excited. We are desperately looking for rain here in Australia. It is very dry and a lot of the wheat is being baled for hay as it is now too late for rain to do any good for the grain set

[@dwaynemauk566]

I hope you and Grant understand what a blessing you guys have to own/operate a successful farm. I know it is risky business, dependant on the weather. I worked on a ranch/farm for several years in S Dakota, and at the end of the day, whether I was digging fence posts for a mile, or chasing cows, or cutting/hauling hay, ir planting wheat, when I'd come in dog tired, it was a good feeling. The fresh air, always something different, the sunsets, or just touching what we did. I remember one night, the guy I worked for, called me after 10 pm and asked me to come help deliver a calf. I'd never seen one born before. All I knew, was from reading James Herriot books. The rancher/farmer told me he couldn't get the rope on the calf's leg to pull it, and needed me to do it. Mind you, I'd never seen it done before, only what I'd read. I reached into the cow, got the rope hooked, and we use the calf puller and pulled the calf out. The mother cow, seemed to get energy after the calf was born. I went home dog tired and excited what I'd just been a part of. Watching your videos, makes me long to not be behind a desk, and work a farm. If I ever came into any sizeable inheritance, I'd sure be tempted. But thanks for your videos because I seriously relive memories of those years in the 80s and early 90s when doing that.

[@Jack-xc1mj]

I don't often comment on your videos but I just wanted to say I have truely enjoyed watching you and Grant become a family and grow as farmers. We have rented out our farm land since my grandfather passed away 48 years ago. No one else in the family wanted to take over farming the land although I have wished many times I had been old enough to be offered the opportunity to do so. But the land rent supported my grandmother and my aunt. Had one of us farmed the land ourselves I don't think it would have supported that family and my grandmother and my aunt. My lifelong desire to help people led me into the military then into nursing school and I have had a very rewarding career in nursing. But I remain jealous of farmers. I can't think of a better way of life that ties together your job (or profession) and your personal life than working the land. Keep up the good work, congratulations on becoming such an excellent videographer and thank you for what you do both behind the camera and behind the wheel of a tractor.

[@denniscarlson7724]

Hello Laura & Grant from southern Minnesota. Enjoy watching your videos but am now a retired farmer and still enjoy all the new advancements in agriculture. By the way my family immigrated from Germany and Sweden and my last name is Carlson so its possible were related in some way. Keep on farmin!

Late August rain counts as a miracle in the plains. Getting stuck aside, another tiny problem with driving on muddy dirt roads is that, after they dry, you have the most rutted, bumpiest roads on earth.

It's like a pot of gold just fell out of the sky Laura I know exactly how you feel I don't have a big vegetable garden but every time I get rain I really love it. Tropical storm Hillary drop two and a half inches lovely rain and I was so happy that I didn't have to water

[@EscapeePrisoner]

Hot tip. You can use the fibre in the corn leaves and stalks to give you enough traction. The beaten fibre (give it a twist, thump it on the quad, whatever) will bind the mud and give something for tread to grab.

[@chasl3443]

Great episode...shows the long hours, sleepless nights and potential horrors of long walks home in the mud. We who consume what you produce salute you! The closing scene at the party was a great way to cap it off.

[@dewayneleek4588]

Hello from west tenn laura,,finally cool down here shelling corn and spraying defoilage on beans its a race to the grainery for everyone,,Mississippi River being low is hurting us

[@aaronsbarker]

Stupid trick I learned somewhere... when you're putting in your ear plus, reach around your head with your other arm and gently pull up and back on your ear lobe while putting in the plug... it will go in easier and deeper without using as much force or needing to twist. You will get a better seal and more protection if it works for you!

Good morning to you. Love your videos and your vast knowledge of farming & agriculture.

So sad to see all that beautiful land go under. 😢 I saw that happen in the late 70s and 80s where I live. Tons of beautiful farm land gone. I'm glad you are going to protect your land. I wish more farmers would do that as well.

[@sirtango1]

Sounds like the sprayer pump could have a pressure switch on it and it turned on when the pressure bled off maybe? Beautiful farm! 😊

[@EdBrumley]

I’ve seen your various clips on pivot (irrigation systems) maintenance, but think you ought to dedicate a video exclusively on how they work. How deep are the wells? Do they ever dry up? Do you ever have to dig a deeper well? Do all of them run on gas, with a gas engine or are some electric? How expensive are they to operate? If a pivot runs for 24 hours how equivalent is that to a natural rain? Types of pivots, etc. P.S. I’m loving your videos! You are providing a tremendous service to the general public, some of which have never even been on a farm.

[@christrella3134]

That was a nice soaking rain. No torrential downpours and thunderstorms. Kittens look good. Happy birthday whoever you are. That would make a long scary walk in the muck if you were stuck. But? That's what the invincibility of youth can do. Be well and safe and God bless you guys! Party on. The harvest is coming soon

[@rugarirocco2131]

thank you for making us live your profession as a farmer, good luck

[@hawser2088]

Growing up in Nebraska, 50 miles from Laura, a 2 inch rain would signal a 3 day vacation to Kansas City as soon as the pivots and wells were off. Sometimes we had an a full 8 hours of notice.

[@alanflor703]

Must be nice! Here in eastern Iowa, it hasn't rained a drop in 3 1/2 weeks and there's none in the forecast until MAYBE next week. My once green lawn is now brown.

[@nefarmer]

I'm not too far west of Laura's farm. 1st decent rain(4 inches) we've had in 6 weeks. Dryland is already dead and didn't help it any (corn will make 0-40 bu./acre) (soybeans 5-20 at best). Dryland harvest has already started. Had dryland wheat make 20. Irrigated acres will be ok, but below normal because of the heat. Most irrigation used in my lifetime, which isn't a good thing. Hope you guys are fairing better than us.?

[@alanflor703]

I'm not a farmer but I live smack in the middle of it. June here had no rain and the crops were nearing their breaking point. No irrigation here, so you get what you get for rain. The farmers had pretty much given up and figured crops were going to be trashed. In July, we got a bunch of rain just in time. The crops look great now and I think yields should be pretty good. @@nefarmer

[@levirobertson4183]

The video reminds me of working on a farm in a younger day. Got a bit of rain in Oregon a few days ago. Love the nails. Reminds me of an elephant joke. Thank God for 4 wheel drive. I take exception to people commenting about Grant needing more time in your videos. It's Laura Farms not Grant Farms. If you want to muck around in the mud early in the morning by yourself I say go get em. Have a good day.

[@doseofreality100]

Not sure if you've done one yet.... or if you'll read this.... but video suggestion - full tour of the farm. Be it your parents' farm (Laura's or Grant's.... or both) or just a tour of the out buildings. Mainly the garages/shops..... I'm a sucker for shop tours at least. Would KILL for a big ol' 40x80 shop. Hell... I'd "settle" for a 30x60. My plans for when I win the lottery.... buy land, build a nice house... maybe 2500 sqft which IMO is huge (my parents, 2 sisters and myself lived in a 1700 sqft house built in the 1800s out in the country that had 1 bathroom and we survived). But then also build a 30x60 shop I'd pack full of metal fab and wood working equipment.... and then another metal building about 40x80.... 50x80 that I'd use as my gym.... with every piece of panatta equipment in there. Sigh.... out buildings are glorious. I'd probably build a 3rd massive outbuilding just to store the heavy machinery I'd just mess around in along with mowers, quads, side by sides, golf cart (to get around my compound of course). In addition to a skid steer, forklift, telehandler, scissor lift, a mid sized front loader with various attachments..... and while I wouldn't have a farm per se (maybe) I want a tractor. Just a big ass tractor. If I were to win the lottery I think I could make that all happen, haha. Sorry for the tangent.

Laura, I want to thank you for taking the advice of myself and others in keeping your hair secured up and out of the way when working around running powered equipment. Now..... take more really good advice and put supports under that corn head while you are working on it. Do **NOT** rely on just the hydraulics to keep it in place. Any accident/misshape with that much weight involved could be fatal!!

Laura's farm is so well equipped and mechanized -- I guess a modern farm has to be, to work such big fields -- that I was really surprised to see Laura refuel the Ranger with a jerry can instead of using the fuel trailer. What's the backstory on that? Does the Fuel-Mate only have diesel? Or maybe the Ranger actually ran out and couldn't move on its own? I didn't catch that from the narration but might have missed it.
