That dump cart is full of money, so to speak. Thank you for these videos. Best of luck and please take care. I so enjoy your can-do attitude. I think you are doing just fine. Take your time. Be safe. Thank you to all of our farmers. USA! USA! We still feed the world.
As I guy who has lived his whole live in the San Diego area, it's hard to comprehend how much land is out there. Makes you appreciate how much work our farmers do to put food on our tables. Thanks for the perspective on where our food comes form!
I am a 100% city boy from one of the biggest cities in the world, and I am addicted to these videos. Everyone in the country needs to see these videos. They are informative beyond belief, entertaining, and they teach anyone who watches them to appreciate the farmers in our society. Keep up the good work on both fronts!
We use to gather sweet corn on the Cobb in a horse drawn wagon . Some of it was to eat and some was for the animals. I was about four years old then. Almost 60 years ago. But that was the last time my Dad raised it. Lol
The last year I farmed 1978 we grew seed corn for pioneer. We grew sugar beets as well. One uncle had dairy/crop farm the other an orchard. Both gone now to homes it breaks my heart. I am new to your channel but have fallowed Kate from Katesag. You both do a great job of showing how our food gets to our table. Thank you our farms were established in 1862 my daughter would have been 5th generation as well.
That's like a friend's parents' farm - used to go there in highschool. Now a whole lot of houses. I guess the problem 20-30 years ago was the cost of living went up, many farmers didn't have much funds stashed away for retirement, the pension didn't make ends meet, and the kids didn't want to farm like their parents did. The developers started eyeing off farms within easy reach of the city and would make the farmers an offer they couldn't refuse. It's quite understandable, but I find it ridiculous that we build houses on good farming land. :(
And engineered inflation Steals and taxes spending power security from everyone's retirement funds or Pension funds so they ultimately in most periods of time become not even close to what the earner thought they were going to have to retire on in terms of Financial security through purchasing power just like now many retirees increasingly are going to have to try to earn more money to get by one way or the other social security has never kept up with inflation nor proper investment interest return and it is not now as ever keeping up guess who botches it the worst which party just look at what's happening now and you know
One should not forget the design engineers who's ingenuity made all this possible. Whilst all this looks easy, we must remember it is a high risk industry.
Yes they do, but they always underestimate how rich many farmers are. If you listen to the press you would think it is 1960 and they all work 12 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year and they are all out in their B John Deeres plowing 10 acres a day.
Me and my brother grew up on a farm the first tim we planted corn us and about 7 more boys that lived close picked it all by hand and hauled it to town in pickup trucks along time ago
Fine NY built machine 20 miles from me went to Nebraska just so Laura could test drive it. Looks like she likes the machine. BTW Laura, you gotta supervise Grant a little tighter. Caught him snoozin on the machine cutting beans. He's got time for naps he has time to clean the glass. Best to Grampa.
Awesome, it was a joy to see you in a different type of farm machine Laura. Great to see Grant's pride in his wife and the work see does, and for me the adoration in the eyes and facial expressions of you both as you interact with each other, a match surely made in heaven. I look forward to seeing you both in your roles as harvest masters on each farm as harvest moves into high gear.
I'm in Ohio and it looks a lot like Nebraska, corn and bean, alfalfa fields everywhere. Ths city is creeping into the country but its still not uncommon to drive down the road behind a combin or tractor hauling something. Farmers work long hard days and people just don't appreciate just how much the weather can effect what they do. Keep up the door job!
Warms my heart to see you so excited and happy about working the family farm. Beautiful farm btw, and congratulations on finishing school. Your parents have to be sooo proud.. hell I’m so proud.
Yay. Great job driving that picker Miss Laura. Whew. For a second there I thought Miss Laura hadn't shaved her legs. Thanks for that view Grant. LOL : )
I’m a tech at the oxbo location in indiana and it’s neat to see these machines in other regions as up until afew years ago in my home town we were the seed corn capital of the world. I think you’d have a love hate relationship with the new versions of those pickers which are the 8840s. You’d love it because it’s new and fancy but I think you’d hate the price tags and speed as it’ll pick at up to 11mph
I have to say, I've been watching your video and farming journey from the beginning, and this??? This video is, IMHO, your best one yet. Really loved seeing the seed corn harvest operation, and absolutely loved you guys together at the end. And huge props for having the guts to talk about not working on Sunday. That's unfortunately a principle that has been mostly lost in today's busy society. Blessings to you and your families as you get rolling on this harvest! ❤️
Can't wait to see you both Harvest.........Wanna see those snacks.......and great shots wile harvesting from in the cabs of your AWESOME tractors. And Maybe a Fall MICKEY D's run in the tractor??????? Hey a guy can dream........That just kills me!!!!!
I worked in a seed corn plant for a year and a half, and I was a seed sampler. In your video I get to see what went on in the fields. I mostly sampled the sorted and treated corn, sending the samples to laboratories in Iowa and Minnesota. I now work in a flour mill in Omaha! Hi neighbors in Clay County!
So cool to see you harvest your own seed corn with a big smile on your face and Grant supporting you. Brings back the old times when I helped out my friend on his parents farm. The whole neighbourhood helped each other and was like one big family; best time of the year🤗
That's what happened during harvest time in my neighbourhood, too. None of the farmers owned a harvester, so they'd pool their funds and hire one, and go around each others farms as a crew and get the harvest in. All these farmers (or their fathers) had gone to school together, so they'd known each other for donkey's years. :)
Thank you inviting us along your interesting and important farming work. I hope all your hard work will reward you all greatly. Best to a wonderful couple.
The old days are still alive and well on Sunny Grove Farm in Ohio. Last year we picked almost 3000 BU of ear corn with a pull type. This year we have a JD 237 picker on a 3020 gas tractor
The miller sprayer you mentioned was also made by Oxbo. The red dump cart with Byron was also made in the same shop but before they changed names to Oxbo.
Laura i live in New York im so proud of you and your family for following your family tradition my wife and I travel through a lot of farmland and always wondered how it is to work on a farm you and your husband make it look so easy but I'm sure it's hard work good luck always keep smiling 😃
Gosh darn it, you two are so adorable together, and that is not the sort of thing I would normally say. Of all the wonderful things about you Laura, it is that you picked Grant, a more supportive and kind guy I could not imagine. I truly hope you are both as blissfully happy together as you seem to be. Sweet corn harvesters, I never knew that, I and I used detassle corn every summer!
That was a great video, Laura and Grant! Thanks for posting. It's very impressive how you can be shown how to run one of these machines, and then you do it as if you've done this job before. Your ability is reflected in the fact that this crew trusted you to do the job. Well done!
I heard there were these machines to harvest your crop, never saw one in action and what a pleasure to see such a down to earth, beautiful Laura describing how you do it. I love your video 👍
Laura for a very informative video. I have sold seed for 35 years, and I have not ever seen how they harvest it in order to have it usable for drying and grading and I never knew just quite how they kept a variety separate now I know. We harvest part of our crop on the ear and part of it with the combine for our cattle and our feed and grain business we also have a neighbor or two that you sweet corn pickers for sweet corn. I knew that they harvest seed corn on the ear but I never do quite how so again thank you
Love this video. Brings back memories of working on my Grandpa's farm when I was a youngun. We hand picked and dried in a slatted corn crib as well. Grandpa would start the old John Deere and hop off and pick with us. Thanks Laura and Grant.
That dump cart is full of money, so to speak. Thank you for these videos. Best of luck and please take care. I so enjoy your can-do attitude. I think you are doing just fine. Take your time. Be safe. Thank you to all of our farmers. USA! USA! We still feed the world.

You should dress like Daisy Duke for Halloween. I am still wondering how did I end up on this channel.
Truly impressive it’s like driving through the Central Valley in Ca

Every man needs himself a Laura. She’s a one of kind.
What a great video. I have to show it to my little son - he is already a huge JohnDeere fan.

Thank y’all have a beautiful day ❤️
That’s a lot of corn! Good job operating that beast. You guys are awesome
Thanks for sharing your cool adventures with us 👍
Awesome that you were allowed to run the cob picker!!
This was really interesting to this city boy! Thanks guys!
Don't worry, Grant will be ok. Best of luck to each and every one of you. THANKS!
One should not forget the design engineers who's ingenuity made all this possible.
Whilst all this looks easy, we must remember it is a high risk industry.
Wonderful driver in a wonderful harvester.
Pure talent. Beautiful. Very exciting
Very cool. People underestimate what it takes to grow crops and to be a farmer.
Yes they do, but they always underestimate how rich many farmers are. If you listen to the press you would think it is 1960 and they all work 12 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year and they are all out in their B John Deeres plowing 10 acres a day.
We NEED our hard working, knowledgeable, farmers and appreciate all of them. Thank you Laura , Grant and all of the family. We are grateful...Michigan
Laura and grant get all harvested with fantastic machines we need excitment and you both can do it keep woorking norman donegal ireland
Those dump carts are really cool.
ready to go with you all on the wild harvest ride
Me and my brother grew up on a farm the first tim we planted corn us and about 7 more boys that lived close picked it all by hand and hauled it to town in pickup trucks along time ago
Love your man's shirt 🇺🇲💯 God bless y'all and thanks for sharing 🙏🇺🇸🤙😎
Laura...he's a keeper, hell yeah
Praise to the Farmers of the world. We all need to eat.
I have learned so much about farming watching your videos. So cool. Keep up the great work you two, it is awesome.
Fine NY built machine 20 miles from me went to Nebraska just so Laura could test drive it. Looks like she likes the machine.
BTW Laura, you gotta supervise Grant a little tighter. Caught him snoozin on the machine cutting beans. He's got time for naps he has time to clean the glass.

Das ist ein sehr schönes Video aus dem jeder was lernen kann. Viele Grüsse aus Deutschland.

I admire your willingness to conquer your fears.
Crikey Laura, you are a doppelganger for the Duchess of Cambridge.
Without y'all , nobody would get there 🌾 grains and food and corn and all...🤠👍
God bless you, I love America!
Funny to see a John Deere cab on an Oxbo machine. Good thinking 💪
Harvest around here is long days and short nights, break down bbq and snacks and lot water ice tea and the beer is cold lol
Seeing the beautiful yellow ears of corn makes me hungry
Your smile is Contagious, I pray life! Never takes it from you.
7/12/23 - Thanks for the education on the seed corn! laura is truly a farm girl! Great job laura.

Keep up the door job!
Thank God for our farmers ! Thank you Laura farms 🙏 We pray for your Grandfather 🙏🇺🇸

Killer drone shots! Active Track would be a plus!
Awesome video Laura; so educational as well. Saludos de Texas 👋🏻

Grant is a really, really, really, lucky guy! Really!!!
You guy's are "AWESOME!"
Yay. Great job driving that picker Miss Laura. Whew. For a second there I thought Miss Laura hadn't shaved her legs. Thanks for that view Grant. LOL : )

The wagon behind the pickers operates like a bole buggy!

That was awesome TY for sharing
I think both your parents have so much enthusiasm has made you 2 have a great spirit in doing farming. Keep it going.

cool video! thank you so much for the overdub instead of the terrible wind sounds :p !
Laura's smile makes my day
Isn't that a fact
When I was a kid, we had this hand crank box that took the dried kernels off the ear and spit the whole cobb out.
I have to say, I've been watching your video and farming journey from the beginning, and this??? This video is, IMHO, your best one yet.

Your a perfect you tube person, easy on the eyes & bubbly & great at talking to the camera / us . Keep up the great content & entertainment.
America is great and you are even greater
Cool people using cool machines
Used those dump carts for tomatoes , it was fun to dump them .
Can't wait to see you both Harvest.........Wanna see those snacks.......and great shots wile harvesting from in the cabs of your AWESOME tractors. And Maybe a Fall MICKEY D's run in the tractor??????? Hey a guy can dream........That just kills me!!!!!
Good job Mrs. Wilson.
I worked in a seed corn plant for a year and a half, and I was a seed sampler. In your video I get to see what went on in the fields.

well, thanks for taking us along for the ride. You two always leave me with a smile on my face.
Enjoyed the video 👍

kudo's to Laura & Grant so inspiring, keep up the good work, our world needs more younger folks like yourself ......
Thank you inviting us along your interesting and important farming work. I hope all your hard work will reward you all greatly. Best to a wonderful couple.
Wow ! Very interesting ! Thanks for sharing:)
I remember the old days when we picked all our corn on the ear, with a tractor mounted corn picker. Amazing to see 14 rows at a time done.
The old days are still alive and well on Sunny Grove Farm in Ohio. Last year we picked almost 3000 BU of ear corn with a pull type. This year we have a JD 237 picker on a 3020 gas tractor
I use to work at Oxbo international corp. In Byron, NY. We made some of the corn pickers there and a few dump trailers.
The miller sprayer you mentioned was also made by Oxbo. The red dump cart with Byron was also made in the same shop but before they changed names to Oxbo.
Laura i live in New York im so proud of you and your family for following your family tradition my wife and I travel through a lot of farmland and always wondered how it is to work on a farm you and your husband make it look so easy but I'm sure it's hard work good luck always keep smiling 😃
So amazing to see your process of growing the different corns!
So cool to see Grant's appreciation of his wife's accomplishments, Bravo!
Love your channel. Hi from Spain
Gosh darn it, you two are so adorable together, and that is not the sort of thing I would normally say. Of all the wonderful things about you Laura, it is that you picked Grant, a more supportive and kind guy I could not imagine. I truly hope you are both as blissfully happy together as you seem to be.
Sweet corn harvesters, I never knew that, I and I used detassle corn every summer!
You two are the most adorable farmers in the world! You are such a cute couple. I could watch these videos all day. 😁
Do a video of the tassel cutting process and male row removal, please. I have never seen that before.
Awesome video. I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos and have decided to subscribe. Thanks you guys. 👍👍👍❤️
Horses sweat, men perspire, women glisten!
That was a great video, Laura and Grant! Thanks for posting.

I'm not sure how i ended up here....but damn, she has the cutest smile ever.
Love this video. My dad works for Oxbo In Illinois
You are doing a bang up job running the seed corn combine. YOU GO GIRL!!!
Laura for a very informative video. I have sold seed for 35 years, and I have not ever seen how they harvest it in order to have it usable for drying and grading and I never knew just quite how they kept a variety separate now I know.

I knew that they harvest seed corn on the ear but I never do quite how so again thank you
Been farming all my life never knew how did seed corn great video I'm 68 yr old
I as a city boy in NY State, would find this so interesting. LOL... But, I do.... I think ? I would do this job !!!
Great Videos! Thank you!
I swear that kids smile could make world peace
Love this video. Brings back memories of working on my Grandpa's farm when I was a youngun. We hand picked and dried in a slatted corn crib as well. Grandpa would start the old John Deere and hop off and pick with us. Thanks Laura and Grant.
Watching the harvest puts a smile on my face . . . and I don't even have to get my hands dirty.
That was cool, thanks for video 😀
