Wow!, Im not a farmer but raised on a farm in Manitoba till my dad passed when i was 14 years old. I’m 59 now, I still have farming in my blood! I know i would have been a farmer if my dad would have stayed around a bit longer? I love to watch farming videos, farm shop video, implement videos. I’ve watched hundreds of them! Maybe close to a thousand? I’ll have to say this is the best heart felt family farm video I’ve seen yet! Great job explaining how your farm evolved over the years! Hope to see many more of your videos.
So glad you kept your first combine. We did wheat & barley up in Eastern Washington from 1983 - 1999. I sure wish dad had kept his first combine. It would be a real antique now. It was an International 403 with hydrostatic drive and 4- way leveler. They were specially designed for the Palouse region with the really steep hills they had down in Southeast Washington. Inspiring video.
@@jhanlarosh6620 it's really something to see those levelling combines running on the side of a hill. Unfortunately, dad retired way back in 1999 and I'm now in Oklahoma or I'd gladly invite you up there. Dad sold all but 20 acres of the farm and someone else does it all now. We used a 1966 International Loadstar 1600 for grain hauler. That would be another classic. I still have fond memories of those days.
Great video, Doug! Keep up the good work! And thank all the LaRoshes for all their hard work, determination, faith, and perseverence, and for feeding us all these years.
Mr LaRosh, may the Lord always make your fields plentiful. You are true inspiration for the rest of us that if you have as much faith in the Lord the size of a mustard seed, he can make all things possible. God bless you and your family. Thanks for the video. On a day like today when my spirit was at a low, your story lifted me up with wings, love, compassion and understanding. Thanks again and God Bless
It's men like you that helped build this country. We need more like you before it's to late. We have an element among us today that is trying to destroy everything you help build. Thanks for helping keep America, America.
Hi Doug ,Thanks again for sharing your father in laws story look forward to what you have in store for us with 2016 harvest . I totally agree with the comments from rustylanier about Jhan sharing his faith God Bless
I just found your video. I grew up on a farm in central Kansas in the sixties around Lorraine Kansas in Ellsworth county. Reminded me of the best times of my life. Thank you and God bless.
what a beautiful story thanks for sharing. in 2010 i bought my first combine a massey 540, replacing my fathers 300 after 30 faithful harvests. hopefully in future years i will be able to tell a similar story.
Thanks for sharing your story and faith in Jesus! I grew up on a dairy farm and married a farmer, we have 5 kids and three are sons, who aspire to be farmers as well. They enjoy your harvest videos on here and drool over watching your combines. Please keep sharing the videos!
Wow! What a beautiful story of life, faith and a family who love each other and what they do. I am not only impressed but humbled by the way you all face the challenges of farming and of life. God bless you all and may you continue to walk daily with Jesus and put your faith in Him.
As a kid back in the sixties we thought we were big stuff with our John Deere 25 combine. Whooping 7 ft. Cut. Took time but we always got it done. Thanks for the great story and footage.
Their story is very beautiful and 👪 so united, God bless them 🙏 in addition to a very nice job in agriculture 🚜 I also love that riding tractors and machines is something very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your story. But above all thanks for sharing your faith and belief in Jesus Christ, we need more to be bold like you! May God continue to bless you and your family.
Pretty cool watching that video and seeing other families that share the same values. Love the footage of the 9600 combines, they are great machines. As a boy I put tons of hours in on those machines.
My grandpa also had a custom cutting business, he ran 55s then 7700s and then Titans before he got out of the business and just family farmed with his brothers
Thank you for the video we have really enjoyed watching . I and my wife are retired alfalfa farming and custom harvesting and your video reminds us of farming in California. God bless and take care.
Great video. I am from a farm in NW Kansas (Oberlin); farming is in my blood. Spent 38 years with USDA managing federal farm programs. Retired in 1998. Now live in Gilbert, AZ
Awesome video!! Just reminds me of my father and how much he loves to farm!! We have a small farm in PA fayette county. I totally agreed it has to be in your blood. God bless your beautiful family!!!
As a trucker,I love to see the newborn calves, truckers work like farmers,our hearts are in the job & the family and the faith passed down by examples of godly parents
Made my heart feel good to see you story! I remember my father AC 60 pull type combine then the day he bought a John Deere 55 Corn Special. I thought we could cut the whole world in one hour with that one!!! I am going to go back to farming. I will have my kids with me so they can experience the same thing.
Thanks for sharing your experience of farming in America, I have farmed all my life in Ireland, good years and bad, still never gave up as it's in the DNA.
I like the choices of music in the video, I myself want to get a hold of myself a 55 for pea harvesting. I plan on using my old antique tractors to farm. Back on the music thing, I did notice the 2nd song was from the movie Twister.
Such a Great story about a man his family and a will and drive to Farm. Best part is when he shared his Faith and says that he wouldn't be were he is today without Jesus.
I am always fascinated when watching grain pour out of a combine auger, but why? What is the attraction? Having grown up on a small farm I learned to appreciate finishing a harvest. What is a more vivid and telling sign of a "job well done" than the grain pouring out of the combine and filling the grain cart or truck.
There was a lot of hard work in there. Great life I can see how hard you had to work you know all the lean years you and every farmer remembers them that is how you stay farming not a job but a way of life great story.
Jhan is right about the kids. Farming does instill a good work ethic. I worked on a neighbor's farm for years. Neighbors have passed away and out of 8 children, only 1 does a little farming. I hooked up my son with his first Summer time job this year and its were....on a farm. This one is an old family friend who grows only 4 acres of fruits & vegetables but maintains a farm stand selling his crop. Good place for my son to learn a good work ethic and responsibility. Miss working on the farm but here in Connecticut, building McMansions has taken over the farm lands and passed open spaces. Too bad. Local towns tax the farmers hard because they own so much land forgetting the food on their table comes from them. I have seen a lot of farms shut down here since I was a child. CT is just not that good to farmers.
this was an amazing little "documentary" and also was the first time I had ever heard of the 55, and its funny to me that they called it "simple"...but then again there isn't much Electronics (if any) to go wrong so I suppose in a way it is Also I recognize the Twister Soundtrack...Awesome
With being a fellow Kansas farmer, I can agree with everything you said in this video. Even though people take their food for granted, I just always think that this is What God wanted me to do from when I was born forth to however long I do it. I really enjoy it. I love it in Kansas and I wouldn't want to do anything else.

Sir I would like to say thank you and your son for bringing out the old 55 combine shame ya couldn't drop a Cummins 5.9 diesel in place of the ole gas burner if you do get a pre 1988 model engine the 12 valve will work just. fine and it stays like the model 55 Old school straight mechanical. Saw my first 55 JD 15 years ago here in New Hampshire when I asked the farmer why he didn't get a newer combine? He just asked me if I was gonna pay the bill for the new machine then said I only plant 2850 acres of wheat or corn and it yah I could harvest everything in a couple of days but I own her and it does the job and no monthly bill to pay every month. There is one farmer 45 miles from the Canada border who's really old school still uses a couple of Belgian draft horses to farm with prefers em.l His son is slowly taking over as dad is in his late 70's gonna halfta get up there and get some video of em and he treats them horses almost better than his wife!
how big is the LaRosh farm? how many acres? in the netherlands a normal farm is around the 160 acres (I think pretty small if you compare it to America)
Im sure you still no every nut and bolt to keep that 55 going…was 11 when dad set me on a a 1959 jd95 showed me the controlls and in one round in the field he jump off[ my introduction to some very hot dirty summers…..and don't plug it up that little door on the top was your introduction to laying on walkers and pulling straw [ hot and dusty]…you done well and as you look back at the memories …everything good is a gift from GOD….be safe
awesome story my family are also farming family and my uncle has a sawmill between the sawmill and the farms we employee 1500 people full time now I am living on the homestead with my great great grandparents this will be my own when they pass way I always like this place my brothers and sister did not as to it was on a big hillside and not much to do with it that is truly funny the hill never being logged for the trees their fields were mile down the road flatter land too there we pretty much farm the whole valley now in time we bought a lot of the older farmer land from them and lift the life their as well dairy was the big part of our life's as well here and it still has to milk 80 cows back them now between my 4 brothers are still framing and my dad has 1000 cow milk cows we have a lot of wonderful people working 24 hours a day now 5 barns they milk in have 2 other brothers are in to trucks 200 trucks running in Canada now and 300 working in the states, as well as 15 combane crews the harvest in the states full time now as for me, I am the caregiver to my great-great grandparents they did make their choice to move in with me and their house, was rent out to a retired nurse that looks after them she has now had a part on the farm too she the nurse here she did talk a doctor to come out here to retire to have that many people working here have them part of the farm as well as a business we stepped it up for safety here as well people said we stupid for doing it because we are a fram but we employed people here the coverage at first was a bet high it has paid off in the long run for the people who works for use
Such a great story! Faith, Family, Farming! Love it!

I never get tired of watching this.
Maybe it's time to send a letter to Mr. 55 as well, and you can read it to him, too.

thanks for sharing!
Great video, I really miss farming and hope to go back to it if the Lord don't come back real soon.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Finally someone who uses twister music in their video!! And it fits well!!!!
Wonderful! May God bless.
Thank you.
Nice story well told.
