A belated Happy Birthday Laura! I always enjoy seeing your happy smile and energetic greeting in your videos. Thank your for taking me along on todays lesson, I learned a lot about the growing stages of corn. I could actually sound like I know something in a conversation now. Your corn looks awesome and you and Grant should have a great harvest when you get to R6. I look forward to continuing our journey ... My best to you and Grant. Larry in Bakersfield, Ca.
Thanks Laura, I love watching the cultivator do its job, seeing how neat it looks after it is done finishing the row. Apart from weed control I can see other advantages, any water from pivot or rain can get to the roots quicker, also the ridges helps to support the corn. Love to you both from Mike. ❤
Spent many summers of my youth cultivating corn and beans. We only covered 6 rows at a time though. We didn't have the GPS to drive. We had our own sighting methods, a long bolt through the front axle of the tractor (in my case,a Case 8:30. It didn't have a cab, but it did have power steering.
Lol, right there with you, learned on a JD "B". First day, big wad of Beechnut, drove over an irrigation ditch, swallowed the whole thing. Farm owner said my color matched the tractor.
When I was a kid in the early to mid-60's, I cultivated with a Farmall "M" with a 4-row mounted cultivator. Then in the late-60's and into the 70's, we upgraded to an Oliver 1850 gas with a 4-row 3-pt hitch cultivator. All open-station tractors and no GPS.
We still cultivate here to although not near the acres you do in at about V5 we did that a week ago last Saturday thanks to a nice amount of rain and the fertilizer our corn is now reached past waist-high
Laura can't tell you how many hours I sat on a 3020 narrow front end with only a four row cultivator behind me. oh yea also no cab thanks for your videos brings back lots of wonderful memories. I farmed in Iowa John
Happy Birthday, thank you and Grant for letting us see all you do on your farm. I have learned a lot about pivots , I have always wondered about them , now I know.
Hi Laura & Grant I’m in Bellevue Nebraska visiting my son and his family I’m from Washington I sure wish I could meet you both ❤❤ you two are as amazing, I enjoy every video I’ve watched
Cheering you on from Texas American girl !! Keep our land growing great crops. Our rice farmers I down here I hope are keeping the rice coming with abundance.
I love cultivating, you get rid of most of the weeds and the fresh turned soil smells so good. Did y’all go to Omaha and watch my LSU Tigers win the Collegiate National Championship ?
Hi Laura & Grant! Thanks for showing us exactly what you are doing to the field. It certainly helps me with the understanding of what is being done and why? Ken
Laura, I was watching a video of your Daddy this morning fixing pivots. Tire, battery, motor was what he was mainly up too. I got to thinking, I hope when you and Grant started farming that you and your Daddy are ok, no problems when you left. God be with all you folks.
I tried to cultivate once, when I was about 10, which was like 50 years ago I wiped out a bunch of corn. My dad took me off the cultivator forever never had to do it again.
1st of all..... Happy Birthday Laura! Probably late, but that's okay 2nd. I thank you for the anatomy lesson on the stalk. I didn't know that before today. 3rd. Whoever was doing the filming while the tractor was tilling followed the lead really well because they timed the end of the bar passing by at the right time. Great filming and editing skills right there. Last of all. We didn't get to hear how many acres were worked that day.
Nice job you see to much cultivation. I remember back before auto- steer you made a middle marker to go by!! Happy Birthday to you Mrs Laura!!! Whz up to you Mr Grant Have A great independence day!
In the Netherlands we use this machine for potatoes. I did this with a Ford Dexta 35 hp 4x2. This machine was so heavy that if I lifted it on the turn the front wheels would go up in the air. With more or less gas you could then balance on the rear axle. I then steered with the left or right foot brake. Potato legs go per four six or eight rows. So the ridging (.) also went per four six or eight rows. Because the rows parallel at the same distance, and this straight that regularly went wrong. We had no satellite control. A wider machine was therefore not possible because then you could destroy a row. And every trunk you break that's just too bad.
Happy Birthday Laura !!!. My Mothers Birthday was this month also. Looks like you got a few things for your special day !! We are so dry down here in south central Kansas !! Time to do that rain dance !!
Laura love your shorts and their color. In this video, you let everyone know you can always find something unexpected while cultivating. Laura you always let people know if they want a deeper and better explanation we can always research it more. Thank you Laura!
@@TomCooper understand that, but I'm interested in whether anyone has done some experiments regarding the specific impact on the yield, because I don't do cultivation in my fields.
hi Laura you will not believe here in Brazil we use pesticides from the beginning planting to dry the weeds even to accelerate the maturation process of corn and soybeans to dry the corn faster and soy we apply a drying agent and to prepare the soil we also use a drying agent, this harms nature and us too
Now in the modern times of farming by using the four wheel tractor whereby cultivator is attached to the tractor by using the hydrolic Systems of operations
Hi again. If you could do a live from The shop unboxing of some of your Birthday boxes like you have in the Past just to see the JOY you show Would be nice and maybe a little Question and answer.
I grew on a farm in the seventies. We had two four row tractor mounted cultivators. Tried to cultivate three times depending on soil moisture and etc. Several family members had farms …. I never knew a person who liked to cultivate. It required constant attention to drive and not damage the corn.
@@robertkeime4907 Yes the first cultivating was a very slow and tedious process. Second time was much better because you could drive fast. Still needed to concentrate on what you were doing.
Laura, looking at your computerized navigation makes me wonder how your father and his father managed to navigate efficiently in the "old days" Did they set up targets to aim at?
They did on the bigger fields in England. With the steam traction engines one pulled. The other remained stable, then they pulled and switched end. Medieval farmers 'beat the bounds' marking out fields with the rest of the village present. So they laid stones or whitties up to act as plough, references.
Pre GPS control the planter would have, and still do have, a marker arm which would scratch a line out to one side which you would follow on next run and so on. The job that Laura is doing would be relatively easy to do without GPS because you have the corn lines to follow. However you would have to spend most of your time staring ahead and not being able to look behind and concentrate on the implement which GPS control is now allowing the driver to do.
Wonderful video. You got everything in cab, except bathroom haha. Congratulations on staying dry this time. Maybe you & Grant should switch job’s occasionally- you might stay dryer.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. First of all , Happy Birthday to Laura. You got lots of packages. Wow. Like your tractor and cultivator. Thanks for explaining the cultivator to us and how it works. Nice machine. I spent many hour with a front cultivator many years ago. The rear mounted is much better. Nice. Thanks for everything Laura. Most interesting. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Hola Laura como estás...yo se que vos no me entendés al igual que yo . que te entiendo un par de palabras nada más... pero veo tus videos porque me encanta lo que haces me encanta el campo al igual que vos por lo que veo...hace un tiempo que te sigo solo pará ver tus videos..muy lindo... saludos para vos y tu familia saludos desde Argentina bendiciones..
Laura, I wish you a very happy birthday!! Since Grant said that your birthday is this month, I wasn't exactly sure what day/date!!! Much love guys keep up the good work!!! Stay safe in whatever you do on a daily basis!!! God bless you and your family!!!! Your family member, friend, Bob Compton from, Maryland
Happy belated Birthday Laura from out here in the desert Southwest. Hope you received some good items in those packages. Hope you enjoyed your special day, and i hope the two of you have a wonderful 4th of July. Corn is looking good! Arizona Mike
It might be a bit old fashioned in some people’s opinion. But, very very cost effective. Plus you’re not using chemicals that are not good for the environment; especially you don’t want them getting into the ground water. Plus, the tractor is about as clean running and fuel efficient as you’re going to get. Silly question? How many gallons per hour are you using while doing this task?
Hi Laura. How often do you blow out Your radiator and air filter. My dad Used to blow his out every other day Because of the blowing dust. Happy 4th of July.
I'm intrigued by all I'm learning about farming. Perhaps a stupid question, IF corn is a more profitable crop, why do you also plant soy beans? Is it a crop rotation issue or a not all your eggs in one basket philosophy? Thank you in advance for the continued farming education:)
Nice work good luck and I hope you tell us about a good information about farming best of luck I wish i work on your Farm with beacus3 you are a good teacher and explain everything very deeply 😊
happy late B-day laura i hope and wish you and grant have a happy and safe 4th of july....as always im praying for you and grant and your familys.....thomas in north central missouri
Another ruff day in the office!
The view out your office window must be very rewarding knowing that all your hard work and money is growing!
Happy 4th of July! What could be more American than a new Laura Farms video! Saw my package on the stack!!! Lots of goodies. 😁😁

Hope you and Grant have a great 4th. Thanks for sharing your farm operation with us.
Happy belated Birthday Laura!!! We hope you had a wonderful day celebrating with your family.

Much respect, and many thanks for your efforts.
No cab? I can hear it now, how 20th century! No, it was a long time ago, so old school trained.
loved that timelapse section, really gives a feel for what your day is like
I remember cultivating with a John Deere with a hand clutch and it only did 2 rows at a time. Things sure have changed.
I did too.
Lol, right there with you, learned on a JD "B". First day, big wad of Beechnut, drove over an irrigation ditch, swallowed the whole thing. Farm owner said my color matched the tractor.

I remember cultivating with my grandfather in our family garden behind Bill, the mule, one row at a time.
How many acres of corn? 🙏
Regular work but your enthusiasm and motivation I don't see lower levels.keep and achive congratulations ❤
I liked the close up of the cultivator action shots.
We still cultivate here to although not near the acres you do in at about V5 we did that a week ago last Saturday thanks to a nice amount of rain and the fertilizer our corn is now reached past waist-high

I love the 8R with duelies. Good power. Happy Independence Day to you both! 🧑🌾
Wow!! Excellent smooth videography in the corn row, good job.....

The fast forward part of the video is funny !😜 Thanks for sharing and teaching us about corn crops !
Very good video. Love the detail breakdown and explanation you give to teach us what’s going on. Stay safe! Love you ❤Grammy
Laura's explanation of cultivation: Pu-Tchoo just like that 😂🥰
Or "speak of the devil" as Grant is rolling up in the side by side 🤣
She explained the whole process perfectly and even added sound effects. 😂
It actually makes that precise sound too. Really! It does!
@@snappingbearThe perfect sound effect too
Laura I love ur videos
And a Happy Belated Birthday... you bring so much happiness to so many... keep doing exactly what you're doing 🥰
It's cultivation of corn underneath it's base of the corn plants it's hilling up by placing the soil under it.
Thanks for explaining and showing the function of the cultivator. Nice looking green corn.
Laura, I was watching a video of your Daddy this morning fixing pivots. Tire, battery, motor was what he was mainly up too. I got to thinking, I hope when you and Grant started farming that you and your Daddy are ok, no problems when you left. God be with all you folks.

Goodmorning and welcome Laura...Always enjoy your educational videos...much appreciated
Happy Birthday Laura !!!. My Mothers Birthday was this month also. Looks like you got a few things for your special day !! We are so dry down here in south central Kansas !! Time to do that rain dance !!
The time lapse of you in the cab was awesome.
I'm a little envious... biggest thing I ever drove was a Cat 369 rock truck... the equipment you handle is awesome!
I've been working in Nebraska for 2 months. The corn looks awesome
Beautiful corn and beautiful day!
Love the work that you do in the field you make it look so easy and it looks fun to
In our traditional method is by using the carabao with by plowing the soil in the based of the corn plants.
Another advantage to cultivate, is a small ditch to put corn head snoot in if corn goes down badly!!
Thanks, Laura, for explaining the stages of the corn!!!
Laura I think you and Grant do a excellent job of teaching us non farmers what farm life is like.
Great video Laura! love watching these every time.
Good job on the growth stages👍
Bravo🎉
I love your PA-Chew explanation of rolling the dirt over.
Thank you for doing a great job on explaining how farming is done in the 21st century. The best you on the 4th and be safe
Laura love your shorts and their color. In this video, you let everyone know you can always find something unexpected while cultivating. Laura you always let people know if they want a deeper and better explanation we can always research it more. Thank you Laura!
Really good camera work at 8:45ish.
Some great video close up of the implement in action.
Hi Laura.. when I come to USA I will visit your farm surly
Always a good day when my new Laura farms tee arrives along with a new video drop! The brown tee is snazzy, highly recommend. Happy 4th Laura & Grant!
Nice footage and shades!😊
Must be nice to be a farmer. In 1970 I was sitting on a boat cushion on the front of an 806 spraying msma.
Happy Birthday Laura!
Wow! Thats over the top!
You guys do a terrific job with your cameras. It looks as good as any professional can do.
V & T are quite sufficient.😊. Good explanation for non-farmers.
have you done any experiments to determine if cultivation affects yield? and if so what are the results?
It's not just about yields. Product purity can be an issue.
@@TomCooper understand that, but I'm interested in whether anyone has done some experiments regarding the specific impact on the yield, because I don't do cultivation in my fields.
If the weeds take over it will definitely cut the yield.
@@dwightl5863 Weeds are kept under control primarily by spraying and not by cultivating because you cannot cultivate between each plant in a row.
The turned soil smothers the weeds between the plants.
your videos are good therapy. thanks
Love you all! Happy 4th. ❤
Thank You For The Video!! Whenever I Get Notification for video Post I Can't Wait Until I Get Time To View Video!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😄👍👊❤️
I love this I wish more farmers would invest in a bar like that.
I love these videos sooo much. Great work!
hi Laura you will not believe here in Brazil we use pesticides from the beginning planting to dry the weeds even to accelerate the maturation process of corn and soybeans to dry the corn faster and soy we apply a drying agent and to prepare the soil we also use a drying agent, this harms nature and us too
Love the drone shots!
You are so right Laura you could not wait to ridge that field any later or corn will be knocked over.
Good job cultivating your corn crop
gotta check that oil. I blew up a lawnmower once failing to do so. good job.
Nice footage 💪 keep stepping and fetching 💪 👏
Good afternoon Laura from TN your videos are very interesting.
Legends, field is looking very good.
Thanks for sharing Laura! ❤
Now in the modern times of farming by using the four wheel tractor whereby cultivator is attached to the tractor by using the hydrolic
Systems of operations
Can you imagine the days of 2 row cultivator tractor or 4 row. Farm equipment has come along way but still uses some of the old technology.
Hi again. If you could do a live from
The shop unboxing of some of your
Birthday boxes like you have in the
Past just to see the JOY you show
Would be nice and maybe a little
Question and answer.
My dad grew up on a farm. He said that cultivating corn was his favorite task. That would have been mid 1930's. Probly done a little different then.😊
I grew on a farm in the seventies. We had two four row tractor mounted cultivators. Tried to cultivate three times depending on soil moisture and etc. Several family members had farms …. I never knew a person who liked to cultivate. It required constant attention to drive and not damage the corn.
@@robertkeime4907 Yes the first cultivating was a very slow and tedious process. Second time was much better because you could drive fast. Still needed to concentrate on what you were doing.
Probly took a hour or so just to get the horses hitched up!😂 I would not have survived that life style.
Laura, looking at your computerized navigation makes me wonder how your father and his father managed to navigate efficiently in the "old days" Did they set up targets to aim at?
They did on the bigger fields in England. With the steam traction engines one pulled. The other remained stable, then they pulled and switched end.

However you would have to spend most of your time staring ahead and not being able to look behind and concentrate on the implement which GPS control is now allowing the driver to do.
Get much cultivator blight with the auto steer? Finally got some rain in south east Nebraska.
Happy Late Birthday Laura! Hope you had a great one!

You guys are excelent farmers
May god bless you and your family my respect
Happy Fourth of July to my two favorite high tech, but old soul farmers!
Hi Laura. How often do you blow out
Your radiator and air filter. My dad
Used to blow his out every other day
Because of the blowing dust. Happy

hello laura very nice video
how many hectares do you have on your farm?
I am a farmer in France and I follow your videos!
Nice work good luck and I hope you tell us about a good information about farming best of luck
I wish i work on your Farm with beacus3 you are a good teacher and explain everything very deeply 😊
Now how many farmers have perfect nails to start each day? Another great video Laura, you are an inspiration to young women everywhere.
happy late B-day laura i hope and wish you and grant have a happy and safe 4th of july....as always im praying for you and grant and your familys.....thomas in north central missouri

Good work
Those fields are huge
