I Gave Away All My Corn For Free

- In today's video we do the unexpected: give away our sweet corn crop for FREE!!! We have worked so hard on this patch from prepping, to planting, to cultivating, to protecting. We harvested a whole bucket full and drove the old 4020 into town and gave it away. It was a hot afternoon, so we went through the McDonald's drive through and got ice cream. We have a competition between the three of us, then finally get to enjoy the ears for ourselves !!! Thank you so much for coming along on this journey with us... I think we need to do it all over again next year!

Next year plant a couple rows a week, that way it's not all ready at once, and you have fresh sweet corn for longer...👍
That's what we do
Need Grant’s two row planter to plant a week or so apart.
There is a farm near us that does that, so they have corn at their stands for longer into the season. Great idea!!!
We always planted 3 different varieties with different periods about 3 weeks apart, and 3 times.
Sometimes, the last didn't mature but big deal. It was just for us (4 families).
And we used a hand planter we called a jobber. Every time we put a foot down, we jabbed it into the ground and put down a coupla seeds by opening and closing it by hand. If you've ever heard it, you'll never forget that rhythmic sound.
Back when we planted on our place here in Western Pennsylvania was a 2-0 planner that's over 20 years ago we used to start at planting time in the spring and plant about once a week for May through about the 4th of July we have corn ready from the time it started to mature and early August to a lot of years in October. I can remember one year when The neighbor kids were coming in to trick-or-treat we were eating sweet corn blew their parents mind that we had our own sweet corn that late in the season
Of course the fence is off. Grant stole the battery🤣🤣🤣
Best comment today and likely the most honest
Beat me to saying that! LOL
Laura, That is very KIND of You and Grant to give away free corn. There are families out there that otherwise cant afford it. God Bless you both 🙏
long time listener, first time caller .i use to garden big gardens and that was my biggest joy, fed neighbors and everybody got sweet corn and froze a ton every year..glad you got to experience it , love you guys
tip #421 .. put a clump of butter on a slice of bread ( the heal works great) and that one slice will butter everyone's corn
Thanks for being my great fan so far and may God continue to bless you and protect you,I must say that I have enormous respect for you considering the manner in which i have made contact with you. I'm very glad you are a fan of mine.may GOD bless you some more.

Thank you for sharing your hard work with all of your neighbors. You all have a good heart.
Pretty cool that you did that for your townfolk. I'm way over here in N.H. so I'll never get to taste it 🙁
@@bradchandler6967 They did it all for YT money.
Corn, Zea mays, belongs to the Poaceae family, and while eaten sometimes as a vegetable and sometimes as a grain, it is actually classified by botanists as a fruit, as are tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, zucchini and other squashes.
Possibly the Most "Positive Energy" people on Y/T. Thanks for sharing and in case our paths never cross please know that you have added some joy (and a whole bunch of education about Farming) to my life. I enjoy your videos. Many thanks. 😊
Try pressure cooking the corn (pressure steaming it on a rack off the bottom and using only about 1/3 cup of water) that way you don't lose flavor to the big pot of water. Microwaving it wet and tightly wrapped (sort of pressure cooking it in plastic wrap for about 4 minutes) is really good too, but a lot of people are concerned about the plastic. Grilling it wet with the husk still on is good too, but shucking and cleaning it is a pain (literally and figuratively) when it's hot. Any of those methods are usually faster and prevent losing a lot of flavor to a pot of water. Try different methods of cooking it, you might never want to boil it again.
Love your channel, keep up the good work, the world needs more people like you!
Yes to steaming in a pressure cooker but my favorite and easiest is: Cut the stalk side of the ear off, Microwave in the husk, no wrap, about 3-4 minutes. When done, squeeze the silk end and the ear "pops" out with very little silk,
I'm a big fan of grilling it in the husk! Takes on an even better taste!
Back when I was still a tadpole I helped my grandpaw raise huge vegetable garden so he could supplement his income. 99% of the veggies were sold to local supermarkets and enough were left over to can or freeze for our family. Grandpaw never owned a big tractor. Yall made God smile and so did the folks that got corn. Hope yall save some for a crawfish boil/

I have grown hundreds of acres of sweet corn. Little, undeveloped ears of corn are called "suckers." Corn is not a fruit or vegetable. It s a grain.
The sweet corn looks good. We have such good corn in Nebraska. Growing up, we used to have corn day where the family would freeze sometimes up to over 300 pints of corn. We would shuck it, wash it, blanch it, cool it off, cut it off the cobb, and pack it in bags. One of the best ways to cook corn is to microwave the whole ear, then cut off the stalk end. Squeeze the small end and the ear will come out clean with no silks attached.
I have tried this and it really works!
Yes after it cools down a bit.
EXTREMELY nice way to give to neighbors. The lord will shine on you and your family. 😊
Thank you to you, Laura and Grant for making the world a better place !!

I learned a real effective way of buttering your corn. Grab a slice of bread butter it and them lay it in the palm of your hand in a u shape and run your corn through it. Nice of coating and real easy. Enjoy
I have followed you since day one. Your farming is impressive but your attitude is awesome. Sharing your harvest with your neighbors demands respect from all your piers. Having been a dairy farmer in New England in my youth, i have an understanding of what it takes to make a farm operation successful. The true meaning of success has little to do with monetary reward and more to do with happiness of spirit and commitment. Putting all else aside, you have shown to all your viewers that farming is not just about growing food...its about growing community. Thank you.
Wish I lived closer to you and could get some of that corn. I would even come and pick it myself. Laura, since you are one of the sweetest You Tubers I know I'm sure that is the sweetest sweet corn in the United States. Giving back to the community was a very sweet and caring gesture. You, Grant and Gage are awesome young people and certainly a great example for future young farmers to follow after. May all your crops be prosperous for many years to come. Love you all from Oklahoma.
Wow, giving away sweet corn is like providing the staff of life to folks! Great job Laura!

I would freeze sweet corn in the husk. Put it in ziplock bags. In the husk it will keep over a year and stay fresh. A couple ears in a ziplock will steam in the microwave in about 12 minutes. Cut the stem end off just where the kernels begin. Squeeze the tassel end and the ear comes out with none of the hairs on it. We freeze as much as we can so we can have corn all year long. I love your channel, you and Grant are great ambassadors for American Farming.
A fun project - great PR for the farm and channel. Corn terminology is different out West. I worked on an Indiana truck farm during high school. Paul was the expert at selecting and harvesting the sweet corn - he "pulled corn" instead of picking. (Tomatoes and green beans were picked.) The perfect ears were not quite full on the small end (no dents), and he could always tell by feeling through the husk. And you say "hairs" on the kernels - we call it corn "silks". They sold corn at their market for a dollar a dozen (always counted out 13 ears.) What was your variety? Obviously a type of bi-color. There is some donated sweet corn in our county. One large farm donates the entire sweet corn crop to a church for the annual all-you-can-eat corn roast.
Best folks on RUclips! Thank you for your uplifting positive videos. Please don’t stop making them…..Love you guys.❤

if y'all have never grown sweet corn, a good reason is to try this: start the water boiling, send someone out to pick the corn and husk it on the way back and drop it in the water. That will stop the process at an earlier stage than when you get it at a market. Every minute different for about the first fifteen or twenty minutes after picking tastes completely different and the earliest is the best.

Sweet corn is really good in the microwave. You cut off the top and bottom of the ear. Then put in microwave for five minutes. Then pull husks and hair off. Really good!
I wrap the ears of corn in plastic wrap and nuke for 3 minutes...leave it wrapped until you are ready to eat...keeps hot for a good 1/2 hour
We have a local farmer that does 10-15 acres of sweet corn every year. He gets it pick and then gives it all away at the county fair. Hope his family has many more blessed years.
Next year use black paint for your sign its more easily read.
Another way to cook your corn is on the grill. I have been using this method for over 30 years. You shuck the corn, wash it and wrap it in a paper towel. Take a piece of aluminum foil and roll the corn into it. Seal one end then fill it with water and then close the other end. Put it on the grill (indirect heat) for about 20 to 30 minutes (turning every 10) and the grill steams the corn. Then eat as you would any other corn.
I BET YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES AROUND GROWING SWEET CORN. WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT SHARE THEIR GOOD FORTUNE WITH OTHERS
😂😂😂😂😂
OKAY!!!!!
Aw, heck, out there in farm country, everyone has a garden.
Sweet corn is a must, of course.
Botanically, corn is a grain. At the dinner table, it is a veggie. At the distillery, it is sour mash whiskey.
That first ear Laura shucked is incredible! Huge and perfect! Laura is one of the most beautiful creatures God ever put on this earth. Kind, smart, hard working, huge heart, and just stunningly gorgeous. Wow!
🚨 🚨 uhhhhhhh 👀 🚨 🚨
Don't be ridiculous
@@fryingupasadcusine he has a disturbing unhealthy fixation on Laura judging from all the comments he leaves for her. 😳 This isn’t even close to the cringiest one.
Settle down
These comments are a lot nicer than some of the other ones I’ve seen.
As many others, thank you, all three of you, for your kind donation back to your neighbours.
Great job guys, next time try it on a grill. Soak the ears in a bucket of water for 15 minutes, husk in and all. And then grill for 5 minutes on each side, taste great.
I live in a big city now, but I grew up working on our family farm and remember going out to pick corn from other farmers and them from us. It was the best tasting. Your video brings back memories as we had a couple of 4020s, one with a loader just like yours. Watched all your videos through the season of your corn progress. As another viewer commented, plant some each week and you will have some for a long time.
Leave the corn in the shucks, microwave for one minute on high, flip it over and one more minute ( your time may vary ). Let it sit for 5 minutes or more to let the steam calm down. It don't get any easier than that folks!!
Laura, my sister-in-law, adds crushed Rosemary to season the corn while the water is boiling. It adds to the sweetness, which is how I enjoy sweet corn now.
Hello there 👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!!!❤
Nebraska sweet 🌽 is the greatest. My dad worked for a farmer in western Nebraska. Got all the sweet corn we wanted to eat.
Corn, Zea mays, belongs to the Poaceae family, and while eaten sometimes as a vegetable and sometimes as a grain, it is actually classified by botanists as a fruit.
Laura, love you guys - you're the best - thank you your generosity to the public.

I have watched your channel for over a year now and love it, you guys are a special aNS Gabe is such a compliment to your operation! When I saw the folks coming for sweet corn it almost made me tear up! Wish we were closer than Fla and we would have swung by for a few ears, thanks for all your efforts and keep it up!
Everything about this channel gives me hope for the future. Hard work. Strong values. Positive mindsets. Simple pleasures. You, Laura, have found a way to honor your ambition and travel far from your roots in exploring the wider world while remaining true to yourself. In doing so you brought the world to you. Hello from California. Ever onward!
Enjoyed the visit, and really like sweet corn..!
Wish I was closer..would like to have gotten some!!
🌽🌽🐺🧙♂️🦊🌽🌽
Youve got a really good harvest of sweetcorn there.....Awesome your giving it away to the community.....Glad you 3 enjoyed them as well...stay safe and see you soon
It's cool that you made free corn available to the community. We cook our corn on the grill before shucking it. Can't burn it, the husk prevents the corn from burning and locks in the taste.
Oh my mouth started watering watching you guys pick your sweet corn. And you guys are so sweet to give it away free. Groceries stores will be selling all the goodies that go with that. So guess what? I took two ears out of my freezer and tonight I’m eating two ears for Supah! Oh I miss my days growing up on the farm, where we traded string beans and taters for corn!!!!! I’m 76 and crying about the days where all we ate was fresh foods!!!! 🥲😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

In New england we call it Butter Sugar Corn... yummy.... Well done people are going to love it..
Laura farms that was great thanks to you and Grant and Gage some people are enjoying beautiful aweet corn from farm to table with love from Laura❤

The pure love and joy eminates from Laura in everything she does. So beautiful and heartwarming. Makes this ol' Iowa boy smile as he recalls his rural, midwestern upbringing. Great episode. Thanks to all three of you. Well done!
Also Iowa boy. I tell this to people and they look at me like I'm lying...mom had a big flat pan that she served sweet corn in. In it was a couple inches of warm bacon grease salt and pepper. We rolled the corn in it, sans butter, and ate it. I haven't done that since but I often think about doing it just to relive the memory. It was so good!
Y'all are so funny it's always wonderful to give back to the community and also have fun
My great great grandparents owned a farm up in fulton county pa that has been passed down through generations which I now own. Cows, horses, chickens, apple trees, feed corn, sweet corn, asparagus, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, pumpkins, all kinds of berries and they canned everything. I recon that's where I came into farming/ The thing I still hate the most is cleaning out the stalls and spreading it out in the fields.
Laura, your videos make me want to keep going and hopefully pass it down to one of my kids.
That was a very nice gesture to give the corn for free. God Bless you!!!
What a great video! So cool seeing Grant drive into town & you guys setting up shop in a parking lot! Just the work you three did and then the generosity.....you're all heart!
Awesome job guys...sweet corn is the best. And great to feed others. Farmers are the backbone. Try puling the husk to the base, remove silk, coat with miracle whip and chili powder. Pull husk back over and grill it...mmm
Showing your kind heart. Your skills are great. Way to go making me hungry. Pretty much the corn season is over here where I live in Indiana. Keep it up and get ready for the harvest.
Wow! That is definitely a fantastic sweet corn crop!
I spent a lot of my 80's childhood on a diesel JD 4020 of that same era. One of my favorite tractors. It had the Year-around-cab made in Mankato MN on it with a stereo....Man I thought that thing was high cotton back in the day 😁😁
I grown and sold Sweet Corn on our family farm as a young child, many years later at a Ranch Party with plenty of Corn, I do miss those old days.... :)

Laura, Grant, Gabe, you are 3 awesome people !!! GOD bless !! The corn had my taste buds fighting each other and I did not even get to try it... Nice job on prep, plant, care, harvest, and share the old fashion community way ! People can be influenced by generosity... From Southwest Ohio...
Great young farmers making the world viewers smile thank you you made my day .
My grandmother used to always say “knee high by the 4th of July”, then we’d stop at a roadside farm stand and cook it for dinner!! So good!!
What a kind gesture made me cry what a great start to a tradition
That's pretty cool and I'm sure everyone will enjoy that. Giving back to the community should be done more by everyone if you have it to give
That was the “sweetest “ video. True community spirit! Love it! ❤
The amount of effort and love put into this corn is amazing! Giving it away for free shows how much they value their community. Truly heartwarming! 🌽❤
I grew 8 rows of peaches and cream corn this year in Estacada Oregon and harvested 400 ears.
@@bradspring8332 rows of peaches and cream corn eh?
This is an awesome way to give back to the community that has helped you folks through the years!! You guys are amazing!! If I ever get the opportunity to meet you I would so enjoy that!!! Love your channel!!!
Giving back to the community, God bless you!
I worked a farm for 15- 18 years done everything by myself I changed car Motors myself fence post I took down tree's and make my own fence post and barb wire put up my fence plowed and did the disking the dirt I done everything ,do you guys have animals there you brought back a lot of memories I will be following you guys thanks much I enjoyed it thanks much
If you don't want to fire up the grill, use the air fryer! Put a little olive oil on them and cook at 370 for 12 minutes turning once.
Laura, Grant, and Gage, do you know that your videos always make me happy!!! It's true!
You all have great loving, positive attitudes. LAURA FARMS are my most viewed videos of all the ones I subscribe to. Always happy times!!! 🚜🌽
Good morning. What a nice gesture!
Nice job on your sweet corn patch. I'm sure the community enjoyed you giving them the corn for free. Well done.
My Grandpa used to have corn roasts. He would soak the corn in a barrel of water for a few hours then put on the grill so that the corn would steam in the husks. When done the blackened husks would be removed and YA-HOO .....eatin grandpa's corn!
That's the best way for sure!!!
@@norm-nas and if you just pull back the husk you can use it as a handle!
Great job on your corn! Thanks for sharing your life with us and your ideas!
I am sure people enjoyed it all!😊
Looks like the 3 of you had as much fun making this video as I had watching it. Good job!
Gage adds so very much to your content… As I’ve said before, “every farm needs a Gage.”
That is good stuff! Good for you guys. We need more people like you
will never forget... Watching irrigation on a cotton field. changing suction pipes every few hours. weekends work. My boss, stopped by checking fields... there was a Nice Fresh sweet corn field next door. Mark asked, "Did you fill up the back of your rig yet???" - "No Sir. Not our field." "I know your Mom, Nana, Aunts,,,, fill up that rig." yeah, enjoyed.
Coolest way of picking and give away...Do it again people are so not believing it and that is your best reward. Lots of love from Sweden
I wish I lived closer so I could have tried some of your sweet corn. Washington State is a little too far away. Thanks for blessing the people in your community. You are so generous, and God will bless you for it.
You guys are absolutely special ❤️❤️
I'm hungry now! What a great gesture you have given to your community! Hearts of gold 💖

I have some great video of Laura driving Rory's crawler at Sand Hollow ! She has true grit .
You guys are saints for growing and giving away freshly picked sweet corn, would’ve felt good.
Very good Laura.
You folks work hard and you know how to have fun, I envy you.
That’s awesome guys. God bless y’all
I really enjoy watching you use the older equipment for different jobs
The chrome exhaust pipe on the tractor ! have same pipes on all my equipment. HA!!
The blessings of a corn harvest. Sharing it with family, friends, and those that need a little bit of help. You went out of way and shared with a family or two of raccoons.👩🌾🐀🌽

Fresh on the farm corn is the best... nothing better....
I do not shuck the corn, simply place it on the BBQ brown the casings shuck and serve…it keeps the moisture in the corn…try it!
You guys are awesome and rock
Love this; so nice to give back to the community like this.
Gage is such an awesome dude.
Hi Laura!
Wow, giving away your entire sweet corn crop for free is such a generous and unexpected move! After all the hard work you put into prepping, planting, and protecting, it’s amazing to see your community spirit. Thank you for sharing this journey with us-it’s truly inspiring! Can’t wait to see you do it again next year
Please Laura, for the good of all people, please don't do the silly/scared/confused/shocked face thumbnails for the YT landing page that plagues many good channels and must be some sort of "YT advisor" guidance. Its unbecoming of otherwise decent normal people. I beg of you. Thank you
