    Your ability to wing your presentations is amazing. Most cannot do all that so easily. With your help, farming has become interesting. I like to see forward not sideways.

    Laura I always enjoy your content. I find it very refreshing to see a young couple working hard to feed the world. You guys have great work ethic. Something we don't see as much these days.

    I may only be a kid who lives in Omaha Nebraska, but watchin your videos helps me learn more about farmin. I'm really into the farming industry and I think that I would like Goin out to my field and growin crop and harvesting it when I grow up. Watching your videos makes me really happy and cheers me up if I'm sad because every time I watch your videos, your always doing something cool and interesting. Keep up the good work Laura:)

    0210 Hours (2:10 AM) in upstate NY. 78 Years old. Could not sleep so here I am watching my favorite farmer. Your knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious and amazing. My great aunt had 2 dairy farms when I was young. My brothers and I would give a hand bailing hay, harvesting oats and helping any way we could. It is very hard work. I enjoy watching you.
    Keep up the good work. And say hi t Pepper for me.

    Love to watch you harvest! My parents had 400 acres in Kansas in the ‘50’s and a pull type Gleaner Baldwin combine on steel that we pulled with an F-30 Farmal tractor. We eventually got an older self propelled combine. I’m 81 now and those were good memories back in Kansas where I grew up. Love watching you and your families! Keep up the awsome work!

    During the summers of 1981 and 1982, while I was in college, I went to North Dakota to help my cousin’s husband with the barley, wheat, and oat harvest. The first summer I was a truck driver. We didn’t have grain carts, but smaller grain trucks, most having only one rear axle. We did unload the combines on the go, so I had to learn to drive the trucks next to combine and received communications from the combine driver over the radio. We would either deliver the grain to an elevator in town or to a grain bin on the farm and unloaded the trucks with an auger. It was hot and dusty because the trucks weren’t air conditioned. For the second summer, I advanced to be a combine driver. I drove an IH 1440. My cousin also had an IH 1480. By the second summer he also bought a semi truck with dump trailer, which he named “George”. We had no automation back then so it wasn’t as complicated to drive the combines. Back then, they initially cut the crop with a swather and windrowed the crop to allow it to dry and then few days later, we would combine using a pick-up header. It was a lot of fun and looking back, working on the harvest was one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve had.

    I’m 72 now Laura, are used to Farm a little when I was a young man in my 20s. Farmers who had eight roll equipment were the big guys. 2024 now you sit there harvesting 16 rows at one time without even touching the steering wheel. Man, things have certainly changed.

    First corn I remember harvesting in 1962. We used a Massy 44 tractor with a Ford mounted picker. Using four wagons and 1929 old regular International running a grain elevator. Later in the winter or spring using a sheller to clean the grain to the Aurora Elevator. Good time with the mechanical scale to get your weight.

    I was not bored watching you now, it was the opposite namely the time just fly away and I enjoyed it.
    When I was a kid I watched the tv show "Little House on the Prairie". The time period is when there were settlers from Europe who rode to the west and lived on the field or land. There were some kids and one of the kids played with the name Laura
    Now it is muich more exciting to watch the real life of you and your family farming on the country side and see what happens when you are farming the land

  • @KirkDeWitt

    I missed the live performance how I caught it on replay and enjoyed every minute of it. With the moisture at the level you stated that has 2 positive points the first being savings on fuel costs for running the trucks to the dryer and second saving you the money and rest of not running the dryer and needing to stay awake watching it to make sure it doesn’t overheat and catch fire. As a volunteer firefighter from a farming community I have had a few times of trying to extinguish those kind of fires. Those as well as bin fires are probably 2 of the hardest to fight. Keep up the good work and the entertaining and educational videos. Wish you Grant and your entire crew the best of luck with harvest. Stay safe and get some rest when you can

    Laura , Your Videos are so ‘Addictive’! Watching your “Live Streams”, your talking Non Stop ! You bring a whole new meaning to saying “You Can Talk Underwater”. Your never Boring , your operating an expensive complicated machine , like your body is on ‘Auto Pilot’ and still your talking Non Stop about the Weather , Pepper catching mice , keeping your Grain Cart Operators running smoothly with complicated hand signals , and even giving details about your Lunch , and thinking about the downed Corn the Machine missed , being food for the ‘Wild Deer’, and still this Machine keeps continuously Harvesting Corn ! When do you find find time to Sleep Laura !

    Great Job with the live stream. Great multi-tasking as all great farmers must but you take it to a new level with managing a live stream and keeping the commentary going all while harvesting. I didn't get to watch it live, but I did catch it the next day. You might consider putting the camera on a Small Rig Magic Arm and position it so that you can easier periodically pivot it forward or to the left as you begin to boom out and as the grain cart is moving forward. In Regards to folks stealing your contact, consider putting a logo overlay on your videos. You, Grant and the Team of Laura Farms Rock. Keep up the good work.

    I enjoy learning about farming. Thanks for being informative. Seeing the problems with producing a crop is eye opening. Farming problems are change drastically for different crops and by location. Iowa corn farming is much different than open plains corn farming. Rain and soil conditions change dramatically from more distant locations. Some locations don't support corn crops period. How much of your corn is subsidized? What portion is going to ethanol and then to feed? Are these prices uniform? Because it's a fungible crop, I'm guessing there's no difference. A short answer is great. I can't dedicate much more that 20 minutes to your video at one time.

Drove 4t to 60ton hystetr hylifts on the piers working 14 hours a day, nothing different then your long day, so similar to days but all year long. 30 senior operator.

    Our first corn combine was our own two little hands. We would break off each corn ear and toss it forward into the middle of the row to make a pile and as we progressed down the row we would have several piles of corn that we would then pick up and toss into a trailer that we pulled behind one of our 2 tractors. There was no such thing as ethanol back then so our corn went to a gristmill for cornmeal. 1952ish

    love your content laura ----- over here in northern england we grow corn for silage only to use as cattle feed simply because it never stops raining ------ only 25 miles from my home up in the hills of the lake district the average rainfall is around 130 inches per year but we are around half that so nobody needs to irrigate the fields ------ it would make it easier to understand your farming methods if you occasionally mention the acres of the fields and the distances and sizes of the fields ----- also as you are along the I 80 could you let us know roughly where the farm is so i can go onto google maps and find your place ---- also we love your accent, much easier to listen to than a deep south or a west coast accent.

    Well my farming experience we used an AC60 pull type combine and a JD 105, and a 6600 JD. Two row McCormick Cornpicker tractor mounted to a M Farmall. That's early years. Later in College at Mizzou working on the test farms used serveral different combines.
