Laura - keep working hard - I am an ex-farmer - went broke as a 3rd generation farmer - lost our family farm in the mid 1980's. I always hoped one day to get the farm back but at 67 that hope get less and less. I am so grateful I was raised and was a farmer. Proud of you - you are a wonderful person and so refreshing with what we have in the world today - God bless you and your family - Glen
How discouraging though. You work your ass off your whole life and what do you get in the end? Some asshole from the bank showing up with the sheriff and a moving truck. Farmers feed us all. We literally can't live without them. They should have more protection from going broke. I'm betting you have been working your ass off from the time you were old enough to walk and follow directions.
She is an educated adult! I often see this type of comment from people from the U.S. as if normal communication is not expected from an adult. How come this is so often expressed, that someone is well spoken and articulate? The explaining thing I get, due to some being able to break things down in a good way for people whom don’t do certain things. / Curious Scandinavian
Born and raised on the farm my self.. married my country girl neighbor high school sweetheart..and I absolutely love your appreciation and perspective for the simplest of things as the smell of the dirt the feel and sound of the wind the color of the corn and the beauty of the countryside..not too many of us out there like that anymore..have a better one 👍✌️🙏🏻
Your good morning, everyone at the beginning of your videos always makes my day. I absolutely love your LOVE for Nebraska and your passion for farming. It is such a joy to listen to you while you educate us on what you are doing, and you break it down in common everyday language that we all can understand. Your passion is awesome. Love each and every video that you post and always looking forward to the next one.
Laura… I’m close to 70 and my grandfather was a farmer. Our home was on the edge of his farm. I love your videos!!! They take me back to my youth.. I hid in the corn… loved its smell… rode horses , sometimes without permission.. and never will forget when I went into the bull’s pasture to take a shortcut!!..As a young girl and now as a old woman these memories always stir a love for God and His quiet yet mighty works… so happy to see that as a woman you have no limits placed on what you can do on the farm. Godspeed.and thank you!
Years ago in the 1950's, my dad was driving us kids to Pennsylvania to join our Mom when Dad had a medical emergency in the middle of the night outside Chappell, Nebraska. The good people took care of us kids until Mom could join us. Over the years on our car trips we'd stop and visit our Nebraska friends in town and one of the wheat farms. The wheat farmer named "Doc" had me me ride with in when I was 14. He showed me how to run the tractor. He hen hopped off and had me plow two rows. Never forgot it. Love Nebraska. Your videos, Laura and Grant, have brought back such good memories. Keep up the good work!
I used to live between Amish corn fields in Lancaster Pennsylvania and I am not kidding you that you can hear the corn grow on humid sunny days. It makes a weird rattling sound. I used to take guests to my fence line so they could hear it grow. And there were days when I'd get home from work and I'd almost miss my turn because the corn grew so much that I didn't recognize my driveway. I wouldn't have believed it if I did not see it with my own eyes. My boss used to say if you put a knife, fork, and spoon in the dirt in the morning, you can harvest a full silverware set by the end of the day.
Hey Laura’s Farm girl…did you know you have been recently rated the #1 farm video producer out there in videoland? You are a great teacher for us old farts (74 yrs old) that haven’t stepped foot on a farm since we were 12 years old. Really pleasant on our eyes with your beauty. And smart enough that I predict will be the Nebraska Agriculture Secretary before you are 35. Can I put on here who the video source of information was? So can watch it. There is a lot of money in You Tube video making.
It is so nice to hear your enjoyment in farming! We moved from Nebraska 6 years ago. I do miss it, having lived all my life. A new generation of farmers who love it like previous ones is so great! Thanks for giving me a little taste of home!
O my…would that I could smell that warm soil and and fragrant corn stalks and hear the corn growing. Thank you for sharing all the sensory information on hot summer farm living and the vibrant colors of sunset. I loved seeing the warm light from early evening waning sun rays lighting up your face. You are a blessing, Laura.
I was very impressed with your video awhile back on the cotton gin. I have built several plants around the US. I ran the worlds largest gin for several years. You were spot on with your explanations of its operation.
Oh my I was just saying I wish she would show her truck again and BAM there's that beautiful gorgeous beast of a truck .I really love the styling of the whole body of it .looks so sharp inside and out. It's the perfect truck while Ford is having all kinds of electrical issues and motor issues. You bought the right truck dear. Now I do love the GMC truck with the diesel engine and all decked out like your ram is but your truck color and all is amazing. You did awesome buying that beauty. Nice job Laura.
Most corn is grown to feed livestock not people, most urban based people think maize corn is used to feed people, not so, this maize corn is fed to livestock, wheat and oats are the real corn crops used to feed people in the form of flour from wheat made into bread and porridge made from oats, just for your information.
Thank y'all for what you do. May your crops always be bountiful. It's awesome to see all happy and enjoy the farm and may that be joyful all the years you do it.
Laura, just discovered you on you tube. I love your personality and knowledge of what you do. Your dad should be proud! I was in heavy construction and made money moving dirt so I know that sweet smell of dirt you talk about. Keep up the good work and be safe around al of that iron.
Thanks for the ride along Laura. You always explain things so well that even a knuckle dragging truck driver (like me) understands what you’re doing. Great info and fun to watch.
Laura, you are such a wonderful blend of "farmer" and beautiful "girl". It totally works. I grew up with a farmer buddy in Oxnard, California and worked his fields with him from time to time and this takes me back to those days.!
I agree with Leslie, your smile, excitement, and enthusiasm for farming I hope you and Grant never lose as time goes by. So thank you for taking us along with your on your days of farming. God Bless You!
Now we know…….why the tires are spread,……..how you keep the grass down,……..and how cool the hoer or whatever you call it works. I used to be a piston twin commercial pilot for a coal company. Auto pilot and auto-steer are some of the best inventions ever. Your corn looks really healthy. We need smell-a-vision to really appreciate this nice day you have shown us. Thanks to you and your man!
Great video, you do an excellent job explaining the "what" (you're doing) and the "why" (you're doing it). Beautiful farm and awesome equipment. You're definitely living the good life!!!
I'm not a farmer, but I have a small garden - ~1/10 acre - that I maintain with a tiller. I get the same joy and 'rush' as you do when I till the rows clear of grass between the vegetables. Some corn, too. What great sight, feeling, smell, and joy in working in the dirt!!!!!
Laura, your videos show just how technical, involved, and precise modern farming is. I get really angry when some "city slicker" says something about "dumb farmers." Like you, most modern farmers know more about engineering, mechanics, computerized controls, and other technical fields than most urbanites ever will--not to mention the farmer's knowledge of agronomy itself. The sign of a true professional is when the professional makes very complex and demanding work look easy. You and Grant have already packed a lot of knowhow and common sense into yourselves at a young age. You should be very proud of yourselves. I share your love of the rural lifestyle and your love of the Great Plains. I hope that the hail stayed small.
I used to be a dumb kid and I grew up in a city but I follow the videos as an adult, play farming simulator and really respect a lot about the farming profession.
I recently saw a video on "The Most Beautiful Cities in America." My mind kept returning to my rural upbringing and the peaceful beauty of corn & bean fields separated by wooded parcels and waterways. Laura's constant "This is so beautiful" captures it perfectly.
Great video Laura, rain is nearly always welcome in farming, providing it comes at the right time. I hope the hail did not do any more damage to your other crops. With rain coming just after you were finishing working in your field, looks like it was at the right time. ❤
Just discovered your channel a couple days ago. Very refreshing!!! Growing up, I always wanted to be a farmer, but never did. Growing up in farm country in Michigan, I worked occassionally on farms of friends, but I always got to stack hay bails on the trailor or in the hay loft, or clean stuff. My Dad always had a large garden, and the same principles you use were used for our 2 acre garden. The hilling, as you call it, is also done to strengthen the plant at the roots, and loosening the dirt around allows for easier access for water to reach the roots. Keep up the good work.
You have it so easy with auto-steer. We cultivated corn with a 4 row and you had to watch the fork mounted on the front axle and line up the row continuously all day long. On a hill side, you had to compensate by driving up above the row so that you didn’t lose the row downhill. Curves along a drainage ditch required over-shooting the curve so that the cultivator didn’t take a short cut and rip out the rows. My first couple years as a teenager, I left many fields with scars. 😂
Laura, love the instruction on how all this works, equipment and crops. Also the extra project you and your husband take on, thanks from a city dweller!!
you talking about the rows being so uniform and straight reminds me of my Daddy. He was a farmer/rancher in Northeast Texas. He loved the crops and took a lot of pride in his straight rows (no auto steer back then). Your crops look so good.
Laura, you and Grant are such a perfect couple. Your love for farming and all your other hobbies, like trucks, atv’s, motorcycles and any other toys makes my day. It’s so great to see your hard work and accomplishments and even sometimes the bummer dude moments. You definitely create a great show every time. Thanks for sharing and please keep the videos coming. Best wishes and please stay safe
Hi, Laura. Brand new to your channel. Great content and love your positivity. I'm from the east coast so midwestern farm life is a whole new world to me. Look forward to binging your videos and learning about it!
That was a fun video. Love to see the cornfields. I used to love the smell of corn in the field. Love to see the younger generation farming and helping to feed everyone. Tough job but can be very rewarding.
Hi Laura and Grant, it is so beautiful to see, such young people work our mother land. The passion and positive attitude about the heavy work that you both put in. It gives me hope about life. May Our Father in Heaven bless you and your families forever. Carlos Rojas from San Diego California.
I’m so completely amazed by the equipment you farmers have. The technology and the science you all possess is amazing as well. Love watching your Chanel.
I grew up in sw Minnesota. Soy bean and corn farmers on both sides of the family. My father and both grandparent grew big gardens. We always had lots of sweet corn. You describe it well. I saw the trials that my farmer uncle's went through. My dad helped both uncle's when things went wrong. He helped replant corn in June when the field was wiped out by hail and helped after work an Saturdays when the other uncle was hospitalized. God bless you and all of our farmers. I pray for rain for the areas that need it.
Laura, can you guys even "imagine" tractor driving without the computers- actually watching the rows of corn with tires in the middle ? I did some farming in West Texas long ago, just a hired hand and your computerized farming looks so awesome !
It's like a video game in an air-conditioned booth! Compared to bouncing around in 100-degree weather cooking dust, chaff and ever other thing that decides to go airborne onto your sweaty skin to the point where you look like a crusted piece of chicken by the end of the day...
This channel is a very refreshing reminder of what a wholesome living looks like, a lifestyle that is sadly fading away in this country. God, family & good old hard work!! Love it!!😃
Hi Laura. We travel I-80, Fort Collins to Omaha and north to our farm in central Mn almost 3 times a year, spring to fall. We inherited my inlaws 80 acre farm and enjoy the retreat. We lease out the land. (18" black loam topsoil and no need for pivots) Last June we saw the crop and pivot damage from maybe Grand Island to west of Lincoln. Your vids of the damage close up was all the more disheartening. I grew up on a 125 acre dairy farm, with hay, corn, wheat, and beans. I'm sure I spent most of my summers on a 4 row cultivator Massey. No where as cushy as your cabin above 16 row machines. I envy you and thank you for sharing. Love your videos.
Your are a blessing to watch. You are so enthused in what you do and it just gives everyone hope that we have some young people that really love what they are doing. Sharp looking truck, hope the hail didn't damage it...
Love your commentary and your passion for farming. Yes that is one beautiful truck. Sure hope the damage from that hale was minimal. Thank you for your chipper start to your videos. Very infectious to try and start my days the same way.
Great to see the beautiful green of the corn against the blue skies. The corn is looking good and hope you do not get hail or high winds to damage the corn.
going over a width so you are doing every set is a good idea, we even did that with 2 row cultivators, it helps to get the cultivator pull more evenly!
How could you not luv that smile every time Laura’s starts her videos. When I was still farming, we would cultivate corn and beans. By the way your corn field. I hope your crops are ok with all of that hail.
Just subscribed. I really like the way you explain everything. I own a small cow operation and enjoy learning the crop side of farming. Good luck with your crops
I cant get over how well you have all the computers down pat and are able to run that machine like a seasoned vet. Hope you guys keep raiking it in!! That dodge truck is pretty damn nice congrats. Keep keepin on.
Hilling helps keep the dirt around the roots and helps the corn grow. I used the top half of a fishing rod to help me stay down the middle while tilling and cultivating! You are really high tech! Make it work for you!
Hello Laura. I love watching you drive over crops. Got my taters in the bucket, stockpiled from last year. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family and the family dog and the family cat is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone.😁 Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, i had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me an the family.
I remember the humid days of the midwest and in particular Ohio where I grew up. I moved to Arizona for more sun but the less humidity to me is very pleasant even with temps very high. Clearly it's not the case with many people who still don't like low humidity high heat. It is nice to get sun which I need due to low vitamin D. This place is good for me.
Just found your channel. South of you in Kansas City. What a channel you have and what you do. Not all food comes from the store..lol! looking forward to being on board for each new video. This is America and the Midwest!
Only a true farm girl would be beaming about her john deere green phone case...lol...great video Laura..so love your constant enthusiasm and love of Nebraska farming...
The views of those fields are awesome! Farming vicariously through your channel. Keep up the great work... both content and planting-wise. 🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱. 👍🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for your family's service to the country I'm sorry it failed y'all
@@Unknown_Ooh what? The fuck are you on about
@Do Not Watch This!!! That's not at all even close to being true
Next best thing could be sharing some knowledge with the younger generation..we shore could use some these days... sorely...🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
How discouraging though. You work your ass off your whole life and what do you get in the end? Some asshole from the bank showing up with the sheriff and a moving truck.
Farmers feed us all. We literally can't live without them. They should have more protection from going broke.
I'm betting you have been working your ass off from the time you were old enough to walk and follow directions.

@@soilgrasswaterair probably because most people of her age group speak like school kids, she however speaks with wisdom.

What a breath of fresh air you are, thanks for letting me spend the day with you.

Years ago in the 1950's, my dad was driving us kids to Pennsylvania to join our Mom when Dad had a medical emergency in the middle of the night outside Chappell, Nebraska.

I was very impressed with your video awhile back on the cotton gin. I have built several plants around the US. I ran the worlds largest gin for several years. You were spot on with
your explanations of its operation.
Oh my I was just saying I wish she would show her truck again and BAM there's that beautiful gorgeous beast of a truck .I really love the styling of the whole body of it .looks so sharp inside and out.
It's the perfect truck while Ford is having all kinds of electrical issues and motor issues.
You bought the right truck dear.
Now I do love the GMC truck with the diesel engine and all decked out like your ram is but your truck color and all is amazing.
You did awesome buying that beauty.

I'm really enjoying these videos - you are showing us 'non-farmers' just how much is involved in keeping a farm operational
Thanks for helping me fall asleep not to say that your content bores me but rather find it interesting and your voice soothing.

Been in the desert for 20 years. From eastern WA, and so miss farm/forest country. The smells, the sights, the color, and the taste of fresh food.

I’m so completely amazed by the equipment you farmers have. The technology and the science you all possess is amazing as well. Love watching your Chanel.
I grew up in sw Minnesota. Soy bean and corn farmers on both sides of the family. My father and both grandparent grew big gardens. We always had lots of sweet corn. You describe it well. I saw the trials that my farmer uncle's went through. My dad helped both uncle's when things went wrong. He helped replant corn in June when the field was wiped out by hail and helped after work an Saturdays when the other uncle was hospitalized. God bless you and all of our farmers. I pray for rain for the areas that need it.
Laura, can you guys even "imagine" tractor driving without the computers- actually watching the rows of corn with tires in the middle ? I did some farming in West Texas long ago, just a hired hand and your computerized farming looks so awesome !
It's like a video game in an air-conditioned booth! Compared to bouncing around in 100-degree weather cooking dust, chaff and ever other thing that decides to go airborne onto your sweaty skin to the point where you look like a crusted piece of chicken by the end of the day...
@@Snarkapotamus crusted piece of chicken - exactly. I could "stand up" clothing because of the salted perspiration in the cloth.
Loved the storm footage at the end until the hail. I hope your crops weren't damaged!
This channel is a very refreshing reminder of what a wholesome living looks like, a lifestyle that is sadly fading away in this country.
God, family & good old hard work!! Love it!!😃
Hi Laura. We travel I-80, Fort Collins to Omaha and north to our farm in central Mn almost 3 times a year, spring to fall. We inherited my inlaws 80 acre farm and enjoy the retreat. We lease out the land. (18" black loam topsoil and no need for pivots) Last June we saw the crop and pivot damage from maybe Grand Island to west of Lincoln. Your vids of the damage close up was all the more disheartening. I grew up on a 125 acre dairy farm, with hay, corn, wheat, and beans. I'm sure I spent most of my summers on a 4 row cultivator Massey. No where as cushy as your cabin above 16 row machines. I envy you and thank you for sharing. Love your videos.
Your are a blessing to watch. You are so enthused in what you do and it just gives everyone hope that we have some young people that really love what they are doing. Sharp looking truck, hope the hail didn't damage it...
I always love the smell of freshly turned dirt. It is very satisfying
Laura, you and your husband and Kate Stephens out in Montana are my favorite people in the world. Thanks for helping to feed our families
Love your commentary and your passion for farming. Yes that is one beautiful truck. Sure hope the damage from that hale was minimal. Thank you for your chipper start to your videos. Very infectious to try and start my days the same way.
I also really love watching you and appreciate every effort you make to farm for us.
Great capture of the lightning and hail!
You're the backbone of America! Thank you!
Awesome attitude. Found your calling at such a young age. Thanks for sharing.
This girl is invested! First time viewer here...n ever thought I'd like to watch Ag videos. Very enjoyable. Thank you!
Hello from France 🇫🇷. Great video. Hope the storm didn't do too much damage. Good luck. 🙏
Great to see the beautiful green of the corn against the blue skies. The corn is looking good and hope you do not get hail or high winds to damage the corn.
I love the sound of rain in the night helps me sleep well and doesn't wake me up, great video and great job with the tractor
I can just imagine Laura going into John Deere, "could I please have a new spiky roll thing!!!"
Your good mornings are always a day brightener!
going over a width so you are doing every set is a good idea, we even did that with 2 row cultivators, it helps to get the cultivator pull more evenly!
I felt like I was in the cab with you being trained, because you give such clear and detailed information!
Good morning Laura and Grant. 😊
Laura,you really love farming,it's in your blood!
I can't even see the farm with her in the frame. What an eye magnet.
yall should get a weather cam or something and livestream the storms during summer or even stream farm work from a distance
You Love your life and and it is one of the many things that make you great to watch, and what a operator
I was not looking to harvesting our 1st planting of potatoes here in just a bit but watching you totally changed my mind.
That wld make a good tee shirt or bumper sticker. Brown dirt green corn blue sky. Farmers life. Awesome video
This is the best use of RUclips.
Such great content.
Nice looking corn Laura and Grant great job loved the video thank you.
How could you not luv that smile every time Laura’s starts her videos. When I was still farming, we would cultivate corn and beans. By the way your corn field. I hope your crops are ok with all of that hail.
Just subscribed. I really like the way you explain everything. I own a small cow operation and enjoy learning the crop side of farming. Good luck with your crops
hear the corn grow! that's hilarious! love it! Also, MAN!!! Corn as far as the eye can see! Awesome!!!!!!!!!
I cant get over how well you have all the computers down pat and are able to run that machine like a seasoned vet. Hope you guys keep raiking it in!! That dodge truck is pretty damn nice congrats. Keep keepin on.
Hilling helps keep the dirt around the roots and helps the corn grow. I used the top half of a fishing rod to help me stay down the middle while tilling and cultivating! You are really high tech! Make it work for you!
Thanks Laura ,awesome video. Thanks for your time.
Field views are the best! Love country living.
It is July 1, 2022, and looks like you all are in for a pretty good line of storms this evening !
You are literally living my dream with being a farmer.
My favorite farm s videos are back! Always greetings us!!
Hello Laura. I love watching you drive over crops. Got my taters in the bucket, stockpiled from last year. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family and the family dog and the family cat is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone.😁 Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, i had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me an the family.
Holy crap my boy wrote full on essay
@@countryredneck5328 That's right. I'm glad you enjoyed it - and I'm happy to be your newest subscriber.
Thank you for your great explanations and beautiful images ! Hopefully there wasn't much damage because of the hail ?
I remember the humid days of the midwest and in particular Ohio where I grew up. I moved to Arizona for more sun but the less humidity to me is very pleasant even with temps very high. Clearly it's not the case with many people who still don't like low humidity high heat.
It is nice to get sun which I need due to low vitamin D. This place is good for me.
Just found your channel. South of you in Kansas City. What a channel you have and what you do. Not all food comes from the store..lol! looking forward to being on board for each new video. This is America and the Midwest!
Truly amazing to drive along in the cab of a tractor and understand the challenges of modern day farming. 😀
Wait wait... waiiiittt!!... Where's my kopi ☕😁😁
Only a true farm girl would be beaming about her john deere green phone case...lol...great video Laura..so love your constant enthusiasm and love of Nebraska farming...
The views of those fields are awesome! Farming vicariously through your channel. Keep up the great work... both content and planting-wise. 🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱🌽🌱. 👍🏼🙏🏼
