Dad: ""I've been in some places, I know some people, I've done some things!" Great line, Dad! And good team work getting the combine door open. Good luck with the rest of harvest.
Thanks Laura For Bringing Us All Along! I Understand It Is not Always Easy To Take The Time To Record For All Of Us !! Thank You Much!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊
Hey Miss Laura, if you pry the door open just a wee bit, a mouse can squeeze through and open the door from the inside. But you have to be really nice to the mouse to get his help. 🙂
If you get it open a bit more, one of my cats can squeeze thru, sit in the operators seat and stare at you while you try to open it. Maybe curl up and go to sleep.
I love, love, love that you get your hands dirty and fix the problems that come up while you're working. YOU are an inspiration to all the young folks out there today Laura...Keep up the great work!
Laura you are the brightest person I know!! Not just intelligence but you are so full of positive energy it’s mind blowing!! You will go very far in life no matter if you keep farming or branch out into something else. Radiant personality absolutely beautiful!! 👍🏾💪🏾🔥
When I was a kid, my uncle owned a farm down the road that had a lone barn on it. We called it the Burke barn. I have no idea who the Burke family was or how long they had been gone but there was never a house on that property in my recollection.
Glad to see it was simple to clear the clog in the combine. I've spent a little time INSIDE them! When I was young, I got the job of crawling inside and cleaning out the straw-walkers between corn and oat harvests. I hope the rest of harvest goes smoothly for you.
tbf, the grinding noise sounded like the slip-clutch - which is there to prevent damage by disconnecting the power from any moving parts that are stuck. You do need to shut it down and clean out the clog, but the machine has a lot of safeties to keep it from breaking. Only when something does break, all you can do is try to avoid complete disaster
Laura, you are still learning from dad, and we are learning from you. I am only into RUclips, so I am happy to view a bit later than others. Two things you learnt, one how to unplug the combine, two how to fit a new lock, we all never stop learning. Stay safe, love from Mike. ❤
Laura, I loved watching you and dad problem solve. Way to diagnose problems and intuit solutions! Rating of 10 on the bean dust sneeze and the warm Nebraska sunset light on your skin - beautiful ending to a gorgeous harvest day. Thanks for the informative video.
I'm a farmer at heart and I listen to the Ag-PhD podcast daily. I love to learn about the Ag industry from Brian and Darren's excellent programs but I learn best by watching it being done. Young lady you are the most competent, informative, natural and no nonsense host I've ever seen. I've learned more of the day to day operations and the specifics of operations in the past few hours of binge watching your videos than months of listening. You are a phenomenal person to the core and I wish you and yours nothing but the best in life!
This was the greatest video!!!! I loved the field names. Laura Farms Laura farm if you get a field named after you. The part about the farm names was absolutely awesome. Occasionally I'll meet a farmer on an airplane and that would make wonderful conversation! Something I would not have known anything about without your video. I also LOVED the way you showed how to evaluate the effectiveness of the combine by looking at a square foot and looking for beans, and then evaluating how good of a job it was doing. FANTASTIC VIDEO! I'll mention it again. I have daughters your age and LOVE seeing you working with your Dad. Thanks for everything!
Laura, It just amazes me watching you grow so much in farming knowledge over the course of your time farming to be able to know just how much loss of beans you lose per harvest just by checking a square foot every few feet. Truly a learning experience for us as well. May God bless your families farms. P.S: I'm sure that by the time you retire, you will know how to take a combine apart and put it back together.
I am not a farmer, but i would like to let you know i have learned a lot about your farming . and enjoy watching your videos of the farm, my grand father was a farmer in south Mississippi.
That place is FLAT!! Great fun to watch your operation and equipment. So not like I grew up with years ago. I am over 70. Never operater a machine (other than an airplane with autopilot) with auto stear!! LOL
Great video Laura. Glad you were able to get the door handle replaced. I just watched your dad's sept. 27 video where he was walking behind the mother bin. That thing is amazing! What a time saver!!
Always some excitement in each and every day on the farm. You guys seem to handle every challenge in stride, with the knowledge of experience, and the patience of a Godly family working together. Love your explanations and examples….so helpful in helping all of us understand what it takes to run and maintain all that massive equipment. Grateful for your hard work and happy family life. I love ❤️ you so much! Grammy
Might be your best episode yet. You're teaching your audience lots of good stuff. I've already picked up on the fact (in earlier videos) that today's farms need to be mechanized to run. And even the fanciest equipment doesn't work right all the time so ingenuity is a must! Smart move to resist the temptation of closing the door the rest of the way, and slick work by Dad to get that door open without damaging anything. Then there's the background that, even living in an area where soybeans and corn are both farmed, I wasn't aware that harvesting beans releases a dust that probably has an allergen in it. (In a previous video you told us that the stalks are scratchy so walking though the rows in shorts wasn't recommended, you did it because it was such a hot day). Then there's the names for fields, that was priceless. My wife has lettered the pastures on her horse farm. I can only connect A thru D with the plots of ground they represent, although there are several more. I think names are better!
Its so great to see you working with your dad on the farm ' my grandfather had a small dairy farm about 70 years ago i remember it from when i was little ,he put me on the back of one of the cows i remember i was terrified i was maybe 5 or 6 years old then , enjoy your youth .
Hands down the most popular name that I've seen for a field is "home field". I sprayed several dozen with that name, to the point that I have to check the customer's name to be sure I'm looking at the right map. Another one that seems to be common is the "back 40" or substituted with whatever acreage it actually is. Those ram mounts are great! I use them for several devices as well as my phone in the plane, and I've never had one let go even in rough weather and hard landings. I use a solid panel mount for my ipad though, the ram mounts don't work as well on such a big device. Also, cotton farmers run into the same issue harvesting with varying levels of plant dryness. It's really a difficult situation, as the longer the boll is open, the more the cotton degrades and the less per bale you get for it. However, if you try to pick while some of the field is still green, those leaves become a big problem and can actually stain the cotton, lowering the price per bale. Some farmers wait until a hard freeze to kill the entire field, but if the bolls open way before a freeze is predicted, defoliating is the best solution. Even then, if you don't do a perfect job, you might still get a streak or two in the field where you didn't get good coverage. Puts a lot of weight on my shoulders as an ag pilot because if I'm off just a tiny bit I can cause this same problem for them.
I got locked out of my truck and had to go through the sliding rear window to get in I was in the middle of the woods deer hunting, great video keep up the good work God bless from GA
I went to a donut shoppe near me for some coffee, got out and locked the door...when I was ready to leave, I went back to my auto...and saw my key on the seat!!! I could have called my dad...but I was SO embarassed, I went across the street to a petrol station and they came and helped me out. I eventually told my dad...and he was like "you could have called!" (He was home at the time and it was only a couple of miles away, but I was REALLY embarassed).
By time you'll gain experience and know what's inside the combine and how it all works. At least you are that far that you hear(!) that something is wrong. In the previous video you mentioned the absence of radio etc. in the cabin, well here is why. Good work, Laura👊😎
Naming of fields really takes me back to my misspent youth working on farms (I'm 70 years old). Everybody did it back then and I guess we never thought a thing about it. Seemed natural. Two that I remember were "The Goeke Place" (family name) and "The Funk 80" (Funk Nebraska). Good memories.
Not to complain but shortly after you sneezed we felt a breeze here in Illinois!! Thank you for all the videos and the knowledge you share. God Bless You and Grant and your families!
Glad to see you put another video today I enjoy your video very much more than you'll ever know I hope it Grant's doing good and everything and glad to see you got back into your combine so you can do your beans stay safe young lady
I thought you were just listening to the quiet of the evening when you were stopped and eyes closed, AND YOU HAVE A BIG SNEEZE! God bless you Laura! Until next time!🙂
The same thing happens to my grandfather on a JD 4460 door handle, the first thing he tried was to push a same sized socket in the hole pushing the rest of the button down and presto! The socket size was 10mm or 3/8ln.
In your last video, you asked what I learned about farming from you. The answer is almost everything. I also follow Cole the Cornstar. I knew very little about farming before I watched you and Cole. Thank you for teaching me so much about farming. The most surprising thing I learned was how much maintenance is required on the farm equipment. So much of your time in the winter is spend maintaining the farm equipment. Wow. So much to do. Thank you Laura for your videos.
I marvel watching your vidéos Laura. It's always with excitement that we begin the harvest!this brings me back to my childhood with dad's harvester 😉👌👍. And as you did we controlled the loss of grain behind. The end of the vidéo is just sublime with the sunset! Sorry for your sneeze " à tes souhaits" in French 😉 I wish you a good harvest. Here in France it's was not important because the drought 😧. Good continuation and see you soon . A bientôt
I'm glad I grew up when I did, none of our stuff had locks, and most didn't use ignition keys. Although, the trade off is most didn't have cabs either, lol.
We used to plug the harvesters occasionally. The trick is to speed up the internals and slow your ground speed. This gives the screens and separators time to process the wet material before it jams.
I understand what you're saying about generational farm names there Laura. About a third of our place here in Western PA bears the family name yet of the family my great-grandfather and his two brothers bought it from back in the late teens early twenties. The place is all under one deed but it bears within our family the family name of the previous owners who haven't owned it for generations
Enjoyed your video Laura. So other combines have issues right? When I was young cabs were a new thing. No problems locking yourself out then! Them beans they do itch! Keep posting! Brings back days of joy and sorrow. Do you get mesmerized watching the auger? Those beans coming out? I used too! I don't farm anymore but it was a joy!
Names of past owners is very popular around here in Arkansas we have been cutting rice for about a month and finished our corn a week ago and just started our beans yesterday good luck with harvest we all need it this year.
my family own 2 Dairy farms in NZ one milke 500 the other milks 1200, both use padock numbers for each field and theres a map on the farm office door in the milk shed so you can find where you heards are and its also where we mark what field is on rotation
Your insight is awesome ! When your talking about the field names that has always been very interesting to me on my family’s farm . Especially when you think of the history of the the people who farmed or owned it in the past. Great job again Laura!
Omg a long long time ago I was working on a horse farm and I would take my horse out to the field and just stop look and listen it was amazing what made me laugh was the sneeze at the end I also did that pollen 😂
You are an impressive woman. You just are. Love these. Almost should just be called Laura's life of farming. "Family encounters" These are very interesting.. I drove a bulb cart in a field as a teen. Flower bulbs. We broke down constantly.
Good morning Laura. Once again - another excellent video with superb production values. You have to remember, these type of things happen You just have to press on. Have a great Saturday and an excellent weekend. 😎👍
I saw a program on making moonshine. The distiller could tell proof by shaking the bottle and watching the bubbles. You will become good at the bean test with time.
you just harvested a new sub ! reminds me living near a field and some times nipping down to nosie or somtimes diverting via the field waiting for the combine to get part way out before charging up the field to the woodlands
There are entirely different heads. There's also 'bean' mode and 'corn' mode for the combine. There's a bunch of levers that get adjusted and literally have corn icons and bean icons.
I found your channel late spring and for someone who always wanted to farm I feel like Im a part of your farm. I love the sunsets you show and it makes me want to come to Nebraska at harvest time. I also love that you have a flag on your equipment.
Gary, electric fence usually run on 12 volts DC and are pulsed so you can release if you come in contact with it. Animals can sense the electric voltage and stay back or they bump into once and learn. Fence keeps the cows were they want them so they don't over graze an area. Hope this helps.
@@jeffmarsh6363 I might've given the impression I didn't know about electric fences. In my youth I lived in farming communities in western Illinois and worked on farms during my High school years. My comment was for the benefit of those who may not understand how that wire that Laura avoided touching keeps a cow away.
Your statement @10:28 about harvesting in any direction is almost correct. Soybeans cannot be harvested if the sickle is parallel to the soybean row. It might be possible with the smaller stemmed beans in 7.5 inch rows.
Farmers improvise, adapt and overcome problems. My family were all farmers and they couldn't afford to call in and pay people to repair things for them nor did they have the time to wait for it to get done.Speaking of named fields/farms, Cole The Cornstar's family has all of theirs named.
We live in what our neighborhood refers to as the Johnson house although we raised our daughter in this house, and my wife and I have made this place our home for almost 27 years, and our name is not Johnson. The Johnson family built the house in 1970 but haven't lived here since at least 1992.
Good job Laura and Dad. I noticed one thing. When going down stairs of equipment turn around and face the stairs. Keep 3 points of contact. This will save you from a injury someday. Love your Videos.
I only found out in the last 6 years, after seeing an allergist. I'm allergic to Corn smut and a few certain weeds in my yard. So I wear a filtered mask during certain seasons when mowing my yard. and keep my windows up during the fall when the corn fields get there tassels.
Slowing the reel down on the header might help a little with loss. If the beans are dry enough, a reel that is running to fast will shell the pods. Really no need to have it running that fast when they are standing well
I guess you could mow it and bail it for cow feed depending how much "green stalk beans" you have. At least the crop won't go to waste if you don't have time for waiting to dry out.
There's a field next to my Grans that is know as bell field because a long time ago that's where the clay was quarried to make the mold for the church bell.

THAT"S MY STORY AN I"M STICKIN TO IT """
Interesting, back in '90 there was an notorious gang nicknamed "Combine Fairies", they never got caught.
Dr Who said, "Places to go, things to do, people to see"", and I think that was in the '80's.

Im a new teen farmer and Ive learned so much from your videos! Not only about farming but being a hard working, driven person.
What crops do your family grow?
Best of luck to you Ms. Violet.
Glad to see it was simple to clear the clog in the combine. I've spent a little time INSIDE them! When I was young, I got the job of crawling inside and cleaning out the straw-walkers between corn and oat harvests. I hope the rest of harvest goes smoothly for you.
Your dad is a true farmer. Able to find a solution instead of complaining about the problem. He's a good man.
Your quick actions saved the day with the Combine. Great upload Laura. I really enjoy your channel. Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧
tbf, the grinding noise sounded like the slip-clutch - which is there to prevent damage by disconnecting the power from any moving parts that are stuck. You do need to shut it down and clean out the clog, but the machine has a lot of safeties to keep it from breaking. Only when something does break, all you can do is try to avoid complete disaster
Your Dad has the patience of Job, you're so lucky that you can learn from him. Love the videos, be safe, always.
Laura, you are still learning from dad, and we are learning from you.
I am only into RUclips, so I am happy to view a bit later than others.
Two things you learnt, one how to unplug the combine, two how to fit a new lock, we all never stop learning.
Stay safe, love from Mike. ❤

That sneeze at the end was hilarious, I thought you were doing some sort of peaceful meditation. Need some more Grant content 😀
Have to say I like Laura content more.
Beautiful................... So's the scenery.............
I am not a farmer, but i would like to let you know i have learned a lot about your farming .
and enjoy watching your videos of the farm, my grand father was a farmer in south Mississippi.
That place is FLAT!! Great fun to watch your operation and equipment. So not like I grew up with years ago. I am over 70. Never operater a machine (other than an airplane with autopilot) with auto stear!! LOL
Very interesting!!! My grandparents were farmers, & they retired when I was a kid. Both farms now sold, & grandparents gone. 😞
Great video Laura. Glad you were able to get the door handle replaced. I just watched your dad's sept. 27 video where he was walking behind the mother bin. That thing is amazing! What a time saver!!

Hiya Grammy! Hope you have been doing well! :-)
Might be your best episode yet. You're teaching your audience lots of good stuff. I've already picked up on the fact (in earlier videos) that today's farms need to be mechanized to run. And even the fanciest equipment doesn't work right all the time so ingenuity is a must! Smart move to resist the temptation of closing the door the rest of the way, and slick work by Dad to get that door open without damaging anything. Then there's the background that, even living in an area where soybeans and corn are both farmed, I wasn't aware that harvesting beans releases a dust that probably has an allergen in it. (In a previous video you told us that the stalks are scratchy so walking though the rows in shorts wasn't recommended, you did it because it was such a hot day).

Your beans look good . Sure glad that your dad got you back in your combine. Stay safe and positive see ya in the next video
Its so great to see you working with your dad on the farm ' my grandfather had a small dairy farm about 70 years ago i remember it from when i was little ,he put me on the back of one of the cows i remember i was terrified i was maybe 5 or 6 years old then , enjoy your youth .
Well said.
Would love to see more of your dad and have him share his knowledge of farming.
Laura's fathers channel = ruclips.net/user/LEAADFarmsvideos
Hands down the most popular name that I've seen for a field is "home field". I sprayed several dozen with that name, to the point that I have to check the customer's name to be sure I'm looking at the right map. Another one that seems to be common is the "back 40" or substituted with whatever acreage it actually is.
Those ram mounts are great! I use them for several devices as well as my phone in the plane, and I've never had one let go even in rough weather and hard landings. I use a solid panel mount for my ipad though, the ram mounts don't work as well on such a big device.
Also, cotton farmers run into the same issue harvesting with varying levels of plant dryness. It's really a difficult situation, as the longer the boll is open, the more the cotton degrades and the less per bale you get for it.

You just showed everyone how to break into a combine!!!!!
It is so valuable for you to know a wrong sound when it comes to the combine. It can save a lot on the life of the machine.
Not to complain but shortly after you sneezed we felt a breeze here in Illinois!! Thank you for all the videos and the knowledge you share. God Bless You and Grant and your families!
Glad to see you put another video today I enjoy your video very much more than you'll ever know I hope it Grant's doing good and everything and glad to see you got back into your combine so you can do your beans stay safe young lady
Dad saves the day. Keep up the good work. I like you use Anderson as an example it's a good name.
Bless you for the sneeze Laura, hope its just dust and not allergies
I thought you were just listening to the quiet of the evening when you were stopped and eyes closed, AND YOU HAVE A BIG SNEEZE! God bless you Laura! Until next time!🙂
Wow! Things happen, I guess!
I am glad you were able getter done!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
One of my favorite channels!🙂
Love seeing the red 7210 running look great in it Laura!!!!!👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀👌

Farmers are always working on things thank God for Farmers to keep us feed thank you Laura and all the Farmers great work 💪
We used to plug the harvesters occasionally. The trick is to speed up the internals and slow your ground speed. This gives the screens and separators time to process the wet material before it jams.

Thank You for being so down to earth and genuine
I totally agree with you on the field names. I always notice it when our contractor for harvest has a new employee.😄
it’s almost harvesting time here in Western Australia 🇦🇺 Barley, Canola, Lupins etc
Love the realities of farm life. No sugar coating. But would love a full open the hood on the combine and how it works
Enjoyed your video Laura. So other combines have issues right? When I was young cabs were a new thing. No problems locking yourself out then! Them beans they do itch! Keep posting! Brings back days of joy and sorrow. Do you get mesmerized watching the auger? Those beans coming out? I used too! I don't farm anymore but it was a joy!
Names of past owners is very popular around here in Arkansas we have been cutting rice for about a month and finished our corn a week ago and just started our beans yesterday good luck with harvest we all need it this year.
Hahaha 20:15 you sneeze because of the sun in your eyes or the dust maybe ? 😊🤗
my family own 2 Dairy farms in NZ one milke 500 the other milks 1200, both use padock numbers for each field and theres a map on the farm office door in the milk shed so you can find where you heards are and its also where we mark what field is on rotation
Flocking Awesome !
Good looking out by your Dad. 👍

Good work!
I thought that you were stopping to take in the beautiful sunset...then you sneezed.
It was still a magnificent sunset.
Good first stage bean harvest
Omg a long long time ago I was working on a horse farm and I would take my horse out to the field and just stop look and listen it was amazing what made me laugh was the sneeze at the end I also did that pollen 😂
That exact same thing happened to me last year on our 7230. The door lock and the wet plugging in the rethresher. Bless you Laura!!
You are an impressive woman. You just are. Love these. Almost should just be called Laura's life of farming. "Family encounters" These are very interesting.. I drove a bulb cart in a field as a teen. Flower bulbs. We broke down constantly.
It is really impressive how you have grown this channel! Good luck on the future!

I saw a program on making moonshine. The distiller could tell proof by shaking the bottle and watching the bubbles. You will become good at the bean test with time.
you just harvested a new sub ! reminds me living near a field and some times nipping down to nosie or somtimes diverting via the field waiting for the combine to get part way out before charging up the field to the woodlands
Great narrative. Really enjoy the channel … thanks for keeping it real, Laura. 🎉
When you change over from soy to corn do you need to change anything to the header or combine separators? or can you just continue?
There are entirely different heads. There's also 'bean' mode and 'corn' mode for the combine. There's a bunch of levers that get adjusted and literally have corn icons and bean icons.
i know its hard work but i would love to farm that much land! Great Job Laura!!
Beautiful sunset !!
Bless you at 20:14!
I admire you as a farmers. :)
I found your channel late spring and for someone who always wanted to farm I feel like Im a part of your farm. I love the sunsets you show and it makes me want to come to Nebraska at harvest time. I also love that you have a flag on your equipment.
Have you explained the electric fence (why you don't touch it) and how it keeps the cows in the field?
Gary, electric fence usually run on 12 volts DC and are pulsed so you can release if you come in contact with it. Animals can sense the electric voltage and stay back or they bump into once and learn. Fence keeps the cows were they want them so they don't over graze an area. Hope this helps.
@@jeffmarsh6363 I might've given the impression I didn't know about electric fences. In my youth I lived in farming communities in western Illinois and worked on farms during my High school years. My comment was for the benefit of those who may not understand how that wire that Laura avoided touching keeps a cow away.
Your statement @10:28 about harvesting in any direction is almost correct. Soybeans cannot be harvested if the sickle is parallel to the soybean row. It might be possible with the smaller stemmed beans in 7.5 inch rows.
Farmers improvise, adapt and overcome problems. My family were all farmers and they couldn't afford to call in and pay people to repair things for them nor did they have the time to wait for it to get done.Speaking of named fields/farms, Cole The Cornstar's family has all of theirs named.

We live in what our neighborhood refers to as the Johnson house although we raised our daughter in this house, and my wife and I have made this place our home for almost 27 years, and our name is not Johnson. The Johnson family built the house in 1970 but haven't lived here since at least 1992.
Good job Laura and Dad. I noticed one thing. When going down stairs of equipment turn around and face the stairs. Keep 3 points of contact. This will save you from a injury someday. Love your Videos.
I only found out in the last 6 years, after seeing an allergist. I'm allergic to Corn smut and a few certain weeds in my yard. So I wear a filtered mask during certain seasons when mowing my yard. and keep my windows up during the fall when the corn fields get there tassels.
Slowing the reel down on the header might help a little with loss. If the beans are dry enough, a reel that is running to fast will shell the pods. Really no need to have it running that fast when they are standing well
I guess you could mow it and bail it for cow feed depending how much "green stalk beans" you have. At least the crop won't go to waste if you don't have time for waiting to dry out.
Bless You, You do stay busy.
Thank goodness for those grated floors. Now whatta do buy a new handle assembly?
There's a field next to my Grans that is know as bell field because a long time ago that's where the clay was quarried to make the mold for the church bell.
