Well, that was fun. So many different kinds of machines on the farm! I remember when your Mom (my beautiful daughter) married Cale, and began to work alongside him...going from city girl to country girl...I was amazed to find that she could drive absolutely “anything” with wheels! And now YOU....following in your Mom’s footsteps and beyond! It’s so cool that you are taking us on your journey. Great video!!!🥰
@Harantin - Pride of Gomeria Probably still busy working, and maybe shooting another video for us! :) It's great to see so many of Laura's family popping up in the comments on her videos, you guys are a wonderful family!
Harantin - Pride of Gomeria aww....she really is, isn’t she? I’d you care to read back below all the other posts, I have commented on every single one, including the live videos. Hard to “keep my mouth shut” about all that this amazing girl does. And the really cool part? She is absolutely being herself....no “out on” or acting differently in front of the camera. She has a good heart, a great personality, a loving attitude, and is always an honest, faithful, God based human being 🥰 Laura is the oldest of my eight Grandchildren. Five of which are my Daughter, Megan’s. We adore ALL of them 🤗
A N C I E N C E not at all. I said I have 8 grandchildren. Five of the grandchildren are my daughter’s children. (the other 3 grandchildren are children of my sons) Laura is the oldest of five siblings, and the oldest of my eight grandchildren. Laura has one sister and three brothers.
Laura just have to say, you have put me way behind on billing and paperwork! Since I found your site I have been binge watching both yours and your dads sites. Your dad is one of the best, along with Doug from Larson Farms, and cracks me up. Him in that army surplus truck could be an entire episode. I find it so refreshing that you, Grant and your entire families are such wholesome people, so down to earth, so honest and seemingly natural with the phone in your faces. With what is going on right now you guys and gals are a breath of fresh air. It's great to see such high quality young adults striving to continue on the farm and make it a success. Sorry for the long winded note but I appreciate every single episode and mark my words it will not be long before you have 100K subscribers and many more. Keep up the fantastic work.
Over the period of seventy years, much has changed on the Farm Technology wise, but the people stayed basically the same. Farmers are good hardworking people.
Thank you for the conversion to celsius! Because I really have to convert your usual temperatures to have an idea of how warm/cold it is. That isn't difficult of course, but this is way easier ;) thnx!
I just love this stuff can't get enough I'm sure you guys have had enough you really got to love to farm to do this I wish I was doing this very hard work long hours can't get more American than this
Also, thanks so much for including the temperature in Celsius for your international viewers! There might be some hope of converting LEAAD Farms to the metric system. 😜
Happy birthday to Grant. Today, Thursday 6 of August the weather forecast in the Netherlands is: 33°C (or 91°F) to 35°C (95°C) the predict a heat wave fore the Netherlands. That means, 5 days over 25°C (77°F) and at least 3 of them above 30°C (86°F). They call temperature above 30°C tropical temperature. Yes for the Netherlands it's pretty hot. And the airmoisture is very high. So until Wednesday next week, it's gonna be hot here.
I have seen something akin to that silage chopper used for grinding up pine logs. Occasionally one would get a bit stuck and smoke would come out of the rotating bin.
Man I love US farming, 8 series John Deere tractors with front end loaders. Like a different world over there. Oh yea plus hammer mill tub grinders mounted on lorries! I'm fed up with the weather n government restrictions in Ireland could be time to move.
@@skylarmorknerbrown well we've no corn, tractors with loaders aren't nearly as common and they are relegated to small 90 to 100hp tractors, whereas a 8210 jd is on a larger frame than any tractors here and to see it with a loader is surreal. We are better at getting silage cut though in general than the Americans.
Weather today in North Alabama. Low 75 High 94 Humidity 72% Sunny with the chance of a late afternoon shower. Narley looking beast is the Barley Chopper/pulverizer. Happy Birthday to Grant.
Hello from upstate ny. I very much enjoy watching your videos. They are both informative and comical at times. You remind me of my own daughter who has an energetic personality and a great outlook on life. Never loose that energy no matter what life throws at you. I wish you and Grant the very best in your lifes adventures. Also Happy Birthday to Grant.
I remember dad and granpa filling an open bunker with corn silage in the early 50s. Southeast Kansas. Parsons area. Then covering the corn silage with Calcium lime.
Those grinders are insane, they can literally drop whole trees into them and they just eat it up, and wow are they loud haha. I see them all the time at the lawn recycling centers
A family tradition is to sing new lyrics to the Happy Birthday Song, (Song in the happy birthday melody:) Hope you get some tonight, hope you get some tonight, Hope you get some (pause) cake and ice cream, hope you get some tonight. Happy Birthday Grant
@@Metagross555 what are you talking about? The leftover silage bales they were grinding had green bale wrap on them. That's what they were asking about.
Also they are not really silage bales (fermentation requires a fully enclosed bale), I would guess its more akin to a mixture of straw/hay bale which might have a bit fermented silage on the inside. But I reckon its just purely there for filler so in all likelihood its just pure straw/hay
Hey Laura....It would be really cool if you put a GoPro on a running pivot. Either at the pivot point or at the end gun. Set the GoPro for timelapse and generate a video showing the pivot running.
Hi Laura I am very concerned about the corn that was in bales. Should not the plastic wrap be remove first?. What about the health of the animals that eat it? Happy birthday Grant. May God bless you with many more.
Love the videos. I noticed a lot of comments about the chopping, wrap on or off, what is the purpose of chopping? sitting rotting on the ground, and you skipped over it quickly. Maybe go a little more into detail? Loved the slow motion. Perfect, not too much, just right. Also, note to self, do not piss off Laura when she has access to that Mad Max looking machine and is holding a golf club. Tell Grant Happy Birthday for me!
From what Laura said it sounds like those were bales of corn stalks they took off the fields last fall. Farmers around here use those as bedding for the cows. Rather than let them sit there and rot it makes sense to mix them with the new corn silage so they can be fed to the cows this winter.
Happy Birthday, Grant! @Laura Farms: Why do you chop up the bails from last year and what do you do with it once it chopped up?? What is the purpose of, I assuming, renting a big machine or hiring a company to do it isn't free, so I'm sure there is a purpose but didn't say why? ... Get it ready for compost? (Guess?) why leave the wrap on the bails? Couldn't tell if it was a biodegradable wrap or plastic? I love your golf game. Look out Tiger Woods, Laura Golfs will be on youtube in the Fall. (LOL)
I have a silage question. basically you are making a compost pile which rots and decomposes via a process making a fermented product. So do the cows eat it as nutrients or do they run for it as alcohol high?? Four stomachs, an corn liquor? LOL

Genuinely enjoy your vids and how you're educating and introducing everyone to farming. Keep up the great work. Respect.
These video's are really interesting to see how it's done in large scale farming.
Cool video. Happy Belated Birthday Grant!
Happy Birthday to grant. Wish I could meet yall.
I just love this stuff can't get enough I'm sure you guys have had enough you really got to love to farm to do this I wish I was doing this very hard work long hours can't get more American than this
Thank you for the Celsius figures.

You guys start chopping early. My relatives usually don't start til around labor day weekend. I love the channel Laura!

Happy Birthday to Grant !! Enjoy your Day
I would love to play with that big truck! 😃 Putting in bales and seeing it being crushed. Think I can do that all day haha
Happy Birthday Grant
Laura... this is totally & unbelievably amazing!!! Right up there with "who'da thunk"!!!
Thanks for including temperatures in Celsius 😂
Happy Birthday Brant!🎂🍰❤😄👍🌾🚜🌽

Yous ain't much good at the silage though. 😋 trailer and buckrake man get the sack
What’s so different about farming where you are?

Good Morning!
Happy birthday GW !
Great vid as per usual, happy birthday to Grant.
I haven't played Washers in a while, so much fun. Keep up the good work and stay awesome!😎
Work hard Play hard. Awesome video.
Happy Birthday to Grant!! Great Video Laura!
Thank you for the Farenheit to Celsius conversion. Lol.
Happy Birthday young man
Those grinders are insane, they can literally drop whole trees into them and they just eat it up, and wow are they loud haha. I see them all the time at the lawn recycling centers
Happy Birthday Grant!
Good morning. Can't wait for that weather temps to hit my area of Florida. It was 82°f at 7am. Supposed to hit over 100°f again. Y'all have a good day
That is an awesome truck
Awesome video update 👍🌲 Current summit conditions on Mount Washington. 52° with 5 mph winds, @ 6288 ' the temps at the base are about in the high 60°😊
we lease a tub grinder for trees every year or so, no stumps, but 24 in logs all gone!
That's some good looking silage! How many acres of corn do you have to cut to fill the pit/silo?
3:48 Talk about nightmare machines. The grinder looks like a carnival ride that really hates kids. Like the BoneStripper from Nothing But Trouble.
Great video Laura
Hey everytime I see your channel....more and more big equipment. Great slow mo shots.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grant !!!
Happy birthday to you Grant.
Happy birthday Gret meney more to go saba
Thank you for Celsius :)
27 degrees celcius is a comfortable temperature for working outside!

Why do they not pull the plastic off of the silage bails when they grind them
The ones in the video were straw, and they're held with twine
@@Metagross555 what are you talking about? The leftover silage bales they were grinding had green bale wrap on them. That's what they were asking about.
I was wondering the same thing. Not good for animals to be eating shredded plastic bale wrap.
@Kent Goertzen not in New Zealand. We still use plastic wrap and film here.
Also they are not really silage bales (fermentation requires a fully enclosed bale), I would guess its more akin to a mixture of straw/hay bale which might have a bit fermented silage on the inside. But I reckon its just purely there for filler so in all likelihood its just pure straw/hay

thank you for taking the time to convert the temperature in celcius for us...Canadian....
When we pull our old orchards to replace we grind them up. That's so crazy to watch a tree get ground to dust
Man 82 degrees sounds nice, down here in Texas it's gonna be 97 today
I enjoyed that, very cool behind the scenes.
Where stays the netting in that machine?
Hi Laura
I am very concerned about the corn that was in bales. Should not the plastic wrap be remove first?. What about the health of the animals that eat it?

you girl are something else love the videos
Hi hope you had fun today on your firm hope your are really happy
Happy bday...Grant
Congrantulations !
Great video!
I don’t think that net wrap is safe for cows to eat.

I didn't know you golfed! Great braids by the way.
Why don't you remove the plastic grid from the bales?
another great video
What happens to the wrapping holding the bales together?
You guys run those bales through the grinder with the net wrap on them?
And, is there a benefit to making silage now instead of letting the corn grow for another month?
Happy Birthday, Grant!

I love your golf game. Look out Tiger Woods, Laura Golfs will be on youtube in the Fall. (LOL)
Sent over from Tara beaver vineyard, kool just subscribed to you , BigAl California.
So, the cows will get to eat chopped up plastic wrap from the bales ?
Where do the strings go in that balegrinder?
I just thought of something "Who mows your yard grass" :)
That is cool. I wondered how you got a 50/50 mix.
WOW !! Awesome
Why chop the corn so early in the season? Leave it for a month, have it grow 3ft taller?
what about all the net wrapping? Seems like you don't want that chopped up in your cattle's feed
Hey Laura you should ask your dad if you can run the forage harvester.
How much water is used for the irrigation...where does it come from...
I have a silage question. basically you are making a compost pile which rots and decomposes via a process making a fermented product. So do the cows eat it as nutrients or do they run for it as alcohol high?? Four stomachs, an corn liquor? LOL
It is anaerobic fermentation, not rotting.
@@JimWhitaker Its still fermentation.
16 C is already tshirt and shorts weather.
No snow=t-shirt and shorts 🤪
Same day video?! Wow! You must be sleepy!
Forgive the stupid question, but why are you irrigating corn, then chopping it?
If you don't mind disclosing; how much did the pivot repair cost? (Rough estimate is fine)
$600 is my estimate. Plus the new controller box...
what is done with all the bail wrapping string
What about the string grind that up to
Heh Laura. What happens to the plastic wrapping on those big hay bails?
Wait so you guys grind and feed the net wrap???
What happens when the cows eat the shredded nylon bale wrap?
Mad Max tractor!
Mad Max: Farmers Road!
Note to self. Don't piss off Laura when she has access to that machine.
Cool.
What do you do with the 50/50 mix? Is it fertilizer?
Do the pigs or cows eat that? Or both? Or is that a future Laura snack? Kinda like kale but not really.
Hwy Laura. What about the net wrap?
What grinder do you have ?
can ou explain how corner system works?
Would like to see the inside of the tub grinder
Get to the choppa
