Seriously one of the most educational farming channels out there. You take the time not only to show us a day in the life of a farmer, but you provide very clear explanations of how it all works and why it’s done. It’s been a joy to follow your channel and not only be educated, but to learn with you. Even if it’s just calling out Grant spilling corn 😅Combines are definitely amazing pieces of equipment, practically a rolling factory.
❤
This is a very nice farm but in no way represents the average farm in the U.S. which according to the United States Department of Agriculture is around 400 acres. To justify owning a million dollars worth of this type of equipment a farmer would need to be harvesting thousands of acres of crops.
U

I don't see any educational nature, these videos just bring entertainment like my videos
People may also think that farmers would make a lot of money from harvest but in reality, once you have paid for seeding, weeding, fertilising, harvesting, maintenance of equipment etc, fuel, wages, taxes and all the other stuff that comes with farming, you are still hoping to break even.
Farmers deserve a lot more across the board for what they do. Both credit and money
Its the same the world over people see all that equipment and automatically think farmers of all types are loaded when in fact they as you say are just keeping their heads above water.
Not sure how it works in your wonderful country but here in drizzly old UK, farmers were promised so much and got so little after a terrible referendum.
It's dairy and sheep farmers that suffer the most here though
As an ex pat living in the USA i can ell you that british farms are way too small to be profitable. Even here all the small family farms are being bought out by huge conclomerates , Unless you are farming a thousand acres or more you are going broke.@@malcomkumar
That why Laura needs 500k subscribers by the end off harvest just to keep her head above water 😂
Food is a minimum wage job from the farm to food processing to shipping to grocery store or fast food or restaurants, and yes people take all of it for granted
I realized jut how addicted i've gotten to these daily harvest videos when I checked the channel 30 minutes ago and there was no video. I figured, oh darn, guess I'll wait for the nest one. Happy to see it's been posted now! We're spoiled, thanks for another fun update Laura Grant and Gage!
Thanks to 2 of the absolute hardest working young farmers, I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning so much about how agriculture works today. I really enjoy these daily updates!
You are FAMOUS !
Is that her boyfriend or what?
Yeah, Laura and Grant are the farmers that tell it as it is on the farm; all the ups and downs of the whole farm from start to finish!!
Laura and Grant, you have once again surpassed your entertainment with an excellent video. It was like being back in the classroom.
Love to you both from Mike. ❤❤
Thanks for clearing up some of the costs and prices for everyone. I never had the nice equipment you guys have and I'm glad you did point out that not everyone has to have the big, modern equipment. And as Grant said, it does take a lot longer to do everything. When I started farming as a kid with my dad, we had a 2-row cultivator! We had to start cultivating when the corn and beans were extremely small in order to get it done. I walked faster that I cultivated at that size. When I retired in 2018, I had increased up to 8-row equipment. I really enjoy watching this series of harvest videos. I know it takes a bunch of time to edit them but I'm sure most people watching them are also appreciative of what you do. Thanks and happy harvesting!
Haven't seen anyone cultivating for a long time. Mostly dealing with weeds with herbicides these days. Roundup ready corn and beans.
I haven't cultivated for so long I can't remember how many years its been. I was referring to when I started helping my dad in 1965.
@@frankvrba6247 we used to raise non-gmo soybeans and I use to run a cultivator through them. That was in the late 60s, early 70s.
This is one of the most informative farming videos I've ever seen. Thanks!
Old city guy knows nothing about farming and I love your channel. This is a super informative episode! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Not all city raised my friend, 70 years ago, I spent summers on a dairy farm in Salem, NJ. I started when I was 7, and it ended at the age of 14. All farming is labor intensive. True, it has improved with newer equipment, but it's still labor intensive time wise.
Outstanding video Laura and Grant, love when you answer questions, so enjoyable, educational, informative and also fun. Your personality is so much of the appeal of your videos. Keep up the great content and 500,000 subscriber celebration 🎉 is about to happen, yeah!
Laura, you aced it. this is the most informative, and still entertaining, farming video I've seen yet. Love you guys, keep them coming. I love the daily videos.
Just when I think it can’t get any better, then you shoot this extra excellent video today. Great job!
Such an informative video. Really shows just how much thought and planning is required to be successful in your farming. You and Grant are so capable of the daily tasks and challenges that come your way every day. So impressive!! Very proud of you guys !!!! You are such an inspiration!!!$!
Thanks for the ag economics lesson. Appreciate our farmers! ❤
My nerd brain has loved this video. So many stats and so impressive! Thanks for sharing all this info with us Laura and Grant!
Laura I'm surprised you don't have 1 million followers I have watched a few other farming videos and so far Laura Farms is the best most informative and detailed I have watched to date.
I agree!!
With a SMILE that worths a lot of Combine...
She’s not that great
thanks for taking us along I have learned a lot, not many folks do farming of your caliber here in NC
Thanks for the hands on demonstration. It really puts what the combine does into perspective!
Wow, this was so informative and helpful for us non-farmers to understand the math, finances, and decisions you have to make to hopefully make a profit.
Laura, you have the right order of the most important things; faith, family, farm, feline.
I grew up in the 60’s in a small town east of Lincoln. Earned my money doing day labor for the local famers. Your videos are helping me re-live those years so thank you! Gods’ blessings and a bountiful crop.
You and Grant have a great work ethic,good job,Pepper and her kittens ,looking good.
We are so lucky to have you both !!!! ❤️ You're so impressive with how walk that big Deere equipment with respect and safety in mind. What i would like to see as side by side in the field comparison of the planting and harvesting equipment of say 50 yrs ago and the new stuff that you're using nowdays.
As a city guy this absolutely great information to me. I understood without farmers and truck drivers we would have nothing. Not just produce but everything. This channel is very informative and im learning a lot.
Thank you for another excellent informative video. Both of you are wonderful in your videos. Laura, you are an excellent communicator, bright and cheerful, sending out positive vibes that are uplifting. Greatly appreciated. Peace & Love💕🌸
Your content is so great! Started binge watching your channel from the beginning. 2 things, your vids have improved 10 fold! 😂 and love the fact that your theme has not changed! Day to day farm life and teaching us newbie’s things about farming! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the video Laura. Very informative and well explained.
Good job guys showing us people just what the farmers have to be able to do to produce produce our food......thanks
Laura, I'm not going to repeat what everyone else said. I will say though that this was one of the most succinct explanations of farming that I have ever heard. Your presentation was entertaining, informative, and full of relatable examples. Your and Grant's enthusiasm is contagious. You guys are doing an outstanding job and I can only imagine how proud they are of you both. Jim
...how proud your parents are...
Good day Sunshine! Great to see you today. This was a very informative vlog and I liked it and learned a lot. Even though I've subscribed for a long time, I still learned a few new things about you. I hope you and Grant are having a blessed day and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Thanks Grant and Laura for another well done, informative video. I've learned so much about your industry over the last year and a half. Living on the front range of Colorado, ranching is the predominate AG business so its nice to learn about the farming side of commodities. Thanks you both.
This is really cool!
I didn’t even know you existed until RUclips recommended this video 10 minutes ago.
Newest Subscriber!!
I’m so happy you’re here!
Laura you knocked it out of the park with your explanation very very nice job
Fantastic content Grant and Laura ... has been fun and informative throughout the entire season. Congratulations and your great year. (Hope you take us along on your off season vacation)
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the effort you both put into your work day. I really appreciate the love and care you show to each other!!! Keep up the amazing effort to bring us top notch videos!!
Appreciate the breakdowns. So different from when I grew up. Dairy farm, far fewer acres, and in western NY we did not water
I got a big smile when you said, noun and verb! This was a very good episode, very informative. I live in an AG community, but am not a farmer, I have done some repair and fabrication welding jobs for farm friends. I found your channel in August of 2020 and have followed ever since and learned so much from you and Grant. I look at crops and farm operations completely differently than I ever did before. I am a Vietnam Vet, so you know who in your family I'd line up with. How about an update on grandpa? I have had him in my prayers. Thank you so much for sharing your life with your subscribers.
I'm really happy that you gave some insight on how much it costs to "field" some of the equipment to produce a harvest.
Without getting into your personal accounts (it might take a miniseries of videos), it might be enlightening for your city-slicker viewers to know all of your inputs relative to your margins.
FYI, I come from generations of farmers on both sides of my parents and TOTALLY appreciate what you do every day.
Yes we would love to see how much money they really make! LOL
Don't forget that they could have bad years as well as good years. They probably came up a little short this year due to how little rain fell on their non-irrigated fields. The price of corn or beans fluctuates, as does the price of diesel. They constantly have bills to pay, and need to keep a firm hand on their finances. How much do you think that broken gearbox repair cost them a few videos ago? I bet it was $2k. And every broken snoot is $600. They have a payroll. They don't just go to a job and collect a paycheck. Its certainly not for everyone.
As I am saying grace at the table I have a lot more appreciation for all the hard work that goes into bringing the food to the table, thank you.😊
Laura, simply put...you're a winner. You and Grant have a great future together farming. Best of luck.
You and Grant are a delight! Thank you for sharing your life with us too, and a special thank you for your wave and "bye" at the end!
Hey again Laura ! After watching every one of your videos for, I'm not sure how long, but over a year anyway, I wanted to say that although they're all good, I think this one takes the top spot on my list. Not that I'm nosey about your finances, but the fact that you know every aspect of what you do AND you get out there and DO IT !!! Oh, and I'm definitely not a cat guy but somehow I enjoy seeing the kittens coming along. I liked "Scotty" of course too, he was way cool. So please say hi to Pepper and her "Pepperettes" for me ! Till next time.
Nicely done Laura and Grant! Very informative and well thought out!
This is my best video of the day I have learned so much about corn, combines and farming in general it's amazing. Please keep up the great videos it's so important and educational to let the world know what it takes to be a farmer in today's world.
Thank you so very much. Till tomorrow bye.
Thank you Laura, I really appreciate the extra work load doing this daily vlog creates. Not being from the USA it amazes me how much all this costs and how big everything is out there! 😁😁🌹🌹
Great informative video! When I was going to college over 1/2 a century ago - I was passing corn fields in Southern Indiana - those particular fields didn't get harvested until the December/January time frame when the frozen fields could support the weight of the harvesting equipment - or so I was told.
If the fall weather is wet a farmer's only choice is to harvest when the ground freezes. That could mean harvesting as soon as the ground freezes during the night and going until the ground thaws the next day. Or if it snows a significant amount the field may have to be harvested in the spring with yield loss though the deer and pheasants have an easier winter. Rare but it does happen.
Having done the kernel removal by hand, here's a tip. After getting the husks pulled back, take them in pairs and rub them together. Knocks the kernels off a lot faster and saves your hands. But MACHINES!!! They are great!
I'll stick with a combine. Lol
Very well done. Such a pleasure to watch versus the junk on TV. All the best to you both!
Excellent video the more I watch what y’all do & the the explanations of it all has been 40 years since I farmed & still miss it every day
Great video. Very interesting to get the numbers concerning equipment costs & volume of product / crop held. You & Grant are fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. Oh & Laura… with a bit of practice I’m sure you can up your cutting & husking rate.
So interesting to hear the costs associated with your crops. I'm wondering your opinion on types of combines. Your JD appears to be chain driven and your Dad's is belt driven. Both of you have had failure issues this year. Which is more costly to maintain or which is easier/quicker to repair? Time being money. Like i told your Dad, this is fascinating stuff! Thank you so much for the excellent videos! 🤠👍
Great info Laura. And I’m so appreciative of all farmers who keep me going. Couldn’t live without you and other farmers. Thank you for always sharing. Hi Pepper.
Laura, my husband and I have watched your channel for several years now, and I must tell you we loved this video! We are not farmers by any means, but my husband's grandparents were small farmers years ago. This video was so educational! Good job! Also loved the little bio you gave of yourself.
Laura and Grant, I have been watching both of you from the start and I just want to tell you both, that the hard work that you both do. Along with a lot of other young farmers is so incredible and so very inspirational. The worlds food supply is totally dependent on our farmers. And if this country had more young people like the both of you we would be in a much better place. Thank you for your great videos and the best of luck farming
Większość wam życzy jak najlepiej. Dziękuję, że jesteście. Pozdrawiam z Polski 🖖
Do you farm in Poland?
@@gabek7010
Jestem jedynie widzem, z korzeniami na wsi. Lubię czasem wrócić do ciężkiej pracy. W Polsce trochę inaczej przynajmniej w mojej rodzinie inaczej to wyglądało.
Wszystko się zmienia.
It's nice to see other folks from Poland enjoying the content. The same with me - I'm not a farmer, but my ancestors were.
Laura, I have been here since your first year, not the first video I'm afraid but most definitely your first year that you started your RUclips journey. I have watched you grow as a person, as a couple and as a videographer. And grown you have in all respects! When I started watching I knew nothing of farming and through you and your videos I have learned so very much. Yet, you still are able to teach me and others new things in every single video that comes out. Thank you and Grant for who you guys are and all that you do both on the channel and in life!
You find out how precious your equipment is when it is harvest time. And then you lose all your equipment in a building fire. You cannot put a true cost on it when you don’t have it when you need it most. 🌽
Only 12k subs to go and well done with what you have accomplished so far at your age. keep up all the hard work and live long and prosper (yes im a trekkie lmao)
Thanks for all the information. Living in the northeast we don't see farming on the scale you farm at. Listening too and watching you and Grant has been and will continue to be the best educational experience!
Followed since you started. Best video yet, so much clear information. Love how you showed how much the combine is doing vs you processing not even one corn stalk at its 7000 stalks
Excellent video in all aspects as usual. I'm a practical guy with a electrical and mechanical background and I was just wondering how the combine manages to select just the corn ears and separate them out with out all the dross you blow back out the the rear of the combine getting mixed in with your product. If you get the time I would like you to show us where that happens inside the combine.
It seems RUclips doesn't allow links any longer even if they are RUclips link but search this title for a good idea of how the latest combine gets it done: John Deere X9 Combine how it works animation
Nice and informative video guys, I still would like to know how the combine separates the corn from the husk ? Thanks
Combines harvest grain when the grain is hard and dry. The grain bearing part of the plant is beaten, shook, and blasted with air from a fan. The grain falls through screens to keep out larger parts of the plant. For corn, the grain is on the cob, so the corn head pulls it off of the plant. That way most of the stalk and leaves don't actually go through the rest of the machine.
Thanks !@@tractorsold1
you kids are great.... love watching your videos and becoming educated on how much hard work is put into providing for all of us... thanks very much and God Bless
Thank you for explaining how the contracts work. This is exactly why I watch your channel. I’m always learning something new. Thanks again.
Hey I'm first to like!
I've liked this channel for about 3 years.
I'm sure you weren't the first.
I'm thinking it was one of her family members to be first. 😅
Well I subscribed just over a week ago. And have loved watching your daily vids. I have also been watching a the older ones. As someone who has operated construction equipment. (Large trackhoes, backhoes, dozers, Bobcats, etc... Those machines you drive are very impressive. I wish nothing but the best for you guys. And will look forward to all your new adventures, and vids. Thanks!!😃
Excellent video. I've been watching and enjoying learning a little about farming over the last 3 years.
This video answered a number of questions that I have had concerning your business model ... but thought they were too personal to ask
Thanks for anticipating our questions and sharing with us.
Wow! Great video Laura and Grant! I learn something every time I watch one of your videos, but this one was exceptional. Best of luck on this year's harvest!
Finally got catch up with all the very great videos. Enjoy all the harvest stuff with you, Grant, Gage and everyone you work with. Be safe out there God Bless. 🙏
Thank you for taking the time to explain "life on the farm." You did an outstanding job of explaining what it takes to be a farmer. It is enjoyable following your journey. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thank you very much Laura and Grant love the insight you gave on this video and all your videos.
Thank you for all this information about farming. I love this channel and always look for the new posts
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I have been following you for a year now as a non-farmer. I love the way you explained what goes on in this video. If the hard work doesn't get you, when to sell your crops is a whole another issue, HOLY COW.
Thank you Laura and Grant ❤
You two are best of this world!! Willing to show me a city kid how it’s done and your not afraid of hard work
Thanks so much for letting us know! It's all so interesting!!
Another great and informative videos guys. Thanks for all u guys do. To all the farmers out there, you guys rock and thank you for the hard work
Fantastic video Grant and Laura you've got to stay ahead of it and what a job you two do. Good luck on finishing the harvest safely. ❤
Thank you, Laura, for being so delightful on so many levels. Easily the best looking farmer in the known universe, you are also have quite a therapeutic quality about you. With all the horrors happening in our world today, a Laura Farms video can have a rather relaxing and calming effect. You, and of course Grant, make a corn field a fabulous place. Having spent forty-five years in operations in the chemical industry it's clear as can be that you guys have a wonderful lifestyle. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you for sharing. this is extremely fascinating to me. I used to raise and sell paint show horses and when I did that I also cut baled hay and raise some grain for that. strictly small time in comparison to what you do. and I appreciate you showing the equipment to. Because I've always been fascinated with equipment. I have a soft spot for Nebraska my grandma/2mom was from the Plattsmouth area I just recently found your Channel and enjoy seeing the day to day aspect. I plan on watching as long as you put videos out. Thank you for sharing
Great video, Thanks for all the good information. I remember sitting in my cousins combine in Iowa. The size of a house describes it to a T. Time is money and when it is time to harvest, you must get it done.
I will never cease to be amazed at how those machines can separate the seed form the cob, husk and stalk in just a second or two...and right as the crop is being harvested. Thanks a bunch for the education. We in Nebraska are so proud of you two and all of the farmers and ranchers who make our state great!
Thanks L&G For The Explanation On The Crop Farmer!! Loved Today's Video!!
Laura Love The Continuous Wonderful Smiling Face!!
Love All You Do!! Keep Smiling On!!
😄👍👊❤️
That’s great information, thanks for taking the time and effort to explain all that.
This was an awesome and informative video. Thank you for bringing us along on the ride and wishing you guys all the best.
By far one of your best episodes,very educational I loved it! Thank You for what you do.
I've been following Laura and Grant from the beginning. Have learned so much about farming and have a much greater appreciation for what farmers have to go through and their dedication to their livelihoods. This channel is both educational and entertaining. It's a breath of fresh air in our often toxic world, so subscribe people.
Great Job.
I'm been watching you all videos for a while. From playful videos to educational.
This one was simply planned and professional with great quality and attention to detail.
Good chance up.
Enjoy them all .
God bless all our farmers out there.
Look forward to following your journey and goals.
Hello Laura and Grant, I have totally enjoyed this video and I have found this video very interesting, thank you both I am loving this journey with you both.
This video was so interesting. I always wondered about farming life and how you make ends meet. I try to watch all of your videos, thanks for all your efforts you and Grant make.
Have really enjoyed watching the both of you over the years. My wife and I have been married for 42yrs and and love seeing you grow not only a healthy farm but a healthy loving family. Keeping the faith.
Great job explaining. Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us!
What a great video! Really did help me have a better understanding of what it takes. I know there's a lot more to it. I am definitely looking forward to following y'alls journey and learning along the way. Thanks!
Awesome. Great information thanks for coming up with the idea.
Great videos during harvest. You said you enjoy working out. I often think the hard work and long days require some strength and conditioning. When harvest is complete, I would love to learn about how you and Grant stay fit. Mostly, how you do it with these long days!
Excellent insight Laura/Grant. Watch you every day. Keep up the great content/work.
This is one of your best! been watching for a couple of years I have no prior knowledge of farming ( I am a retired builder and paramedic and live in coastal Maine). Keep up the good work! Good luck and God bless.
You both do a great job explaining the things you do, love it. Stay safe. Thanks.
Very informative video. Farming is certainly a huge gamble - so many factors determine profit. Market prices, political situations, weather, etc. You guys certainly do a great job, and you are very dedicated to what you do.
Which goes to SHOW.. Farmers Don't Get as Much as The Middle Man, OR The Seller of the Product !
And the farmer is the one that carries the world on their Backs!
❤ THANK YOU FARMERS EVERYWHERE ❤️👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
excellent work from you and your husband, great dedication to what you love, which is agriculture and the cats are adorable, greetings from Mexico. excellent video with information
