Date night!!!! love it. I never knew that you can harvest corn when it is wet or during light mist. I know that wet corn can cause a toxin, how do you keep it from molding when picked up wet? Had a dog pass away from dog food that was made with molded corn, which created an aflatoxin. Over 50 dogs died before they pulled the dogfood off the shelf. But from my understanding, cows are able to eat the corn as their stomachs are created differently than ours. Hope you guys got to do your date...
Hi Folks! Although you probably know this already, I thought I would mention that Clara Kyker is posting videos of Laura on Facebook. I was watching some Facebook Reels and came upon videos that made me say... "Hey, that's LAURA!" But they were posted under Clara Kyker
Hi Laura & Grant! Might have to add Gage to the greeting! I guess if you could afford it, it would be good to have a spare assembly for the corn head so if a gearbox goes out in the future, you can just sway it out NASCAR style and then send the broken one to be rebuild, not have to pay for a rush job and get back in the field faster. Ken
I been in that situation many times. Break down, weather on the Change and need the plowing done or harvest. Can just imagine if all these machines run on solar? Never seen a charging station at the end of each turn row??? Had to throw that in because of the push for all green. Never ever work in farming business. I’ll stay subscribed so I can keep up.
Weight is traction. Sand bags in the back of a pickup. Loaded tractor trailer in snow no problem, empty in snow spinning tires. Train locomotives weight around 450,000 LBS. If they didn't they would really spin the wheels getting started.
Laura, following you for the past year I know you and Grant are very capable farmers. I just cant get over how young you both are and have all this responsibility running the farm and maintaining all that complex equipment. Hats off to both of you.
Two cute newly we'd farmers. My wife & I just had our 30th anniversary. Sept 25th. I love sharing your journey with my wife she loves the journey in your future. We have bad allergies & and athsma, so Pepper & the kittens are awesome.
You young farmers are learning! If the truck is on the ground and not pavement, Always load the trailer in the front first. That way you get maximum traction unless it is real muddy. Then it is tractor time lol.
Laura ,you and Grant are the best ! I am from Sidney and have passed that field on I70 a hundred times. Since you are about to go over a 1 million viewers you need to up your game and get “ the object of the preposition “ corrected when you explain things. “For Grant and I” ls incorrect . It has to be for “Grant & me” also “mine” not “I,’s” . Nebraskans’ are just smoother than C&Z in MI !!
I am quite surprised by just how many US 6x4 tractor units just don't have full sets of diff-locks, they either seam to have just inter-axle with no cross-axle, else cross-axle with no inter-axle, over here you seldom come across any tractor unit that don't have a full compliment of diff-locks able to lock the drives 100%
The most refreshing thing about your channel is...seeing a young lady wrenching and helping everywhere ...keep up the good work....I'm sure appreciates that.
Had an issue with our corn head, the cover collapsed on my hand as I was fixing it and my dad had to cut it off with a plasma cutter. 17 broken bones in my hand and 8 hours of surgery later I'm back in one of our X9-1100 quad tac combines harvesting corn...
I absolutely love seeing you two working together and doing well. Love every bit of the content that you are putting out. Love the respect and love that you two have for each other, never lose that and you will have a long and happy life together.
Heres a fun little experiment for ya Laura... Run over a piece of printer paper with the drive tires on your truck when theyre at proper pressure when its empty and when its loaded on a hard surface, like concrete or asphalt... Take a look at the foot print difference. Itll shock you
You can hear the corn on this end it's so dry and hard I thought Grant was getting hailed on! Once it's going straight it should keep going. Don't spin. Lug it in the highest gear you can without stalling it. Yes, more weight is more ground pressure. Peppers claws made a nice "" Pop ""! When they came off of your knees! Yikes!
From a born and raised farm girl from NW Indiana, I so enjoy your videos. You and Grant make the best team. Your videos are much appreciated. I know it can't be easy, especially during harvest.
As I told Millennium Farmer I started at my father’s automotive repair shop at age ten. Newly retired after 55 1/2 years in the industry. I can’t tell you how many times my safety glasses protected my eyes from projectiles. And my friends father operating heavy equipment was totally blinded both eyes by a hydraulic leak. Please be a good example for your followers and wear some protection. It’s a good habit to learn! Love you guys!
I was thinking the same thing when they were under that corn head, only takes one little piece of debris to make your day miserable. Wear those safety glasses!
@brianvarner Yep. My Mom and I, met the doctor at the ER at 2 am, to remove a metal shaving from my cornea. Interestingly, it was somewhere in my lashes, eyelid, or eyebrow, and it fell into my eye, when I layed down. I tried gently with a cotton swab to remove it, but it didn't budge. At that point, it was driving me nuts.. so Mom called the Doctor. Adventures without safety glasses.. Macho, Macho Man.. Don't be a bliiind... Macho Man..
Grant, engage the axle intrlock on the dash and all wheels will then pull together with out spinning. The other thing is to use low gears and low throttle. I am 82 and a 5 million mile Owner/Operator.
Date night? What? My track coach was raised a Midwestern farmer. Hardworking, science teacher and great coach. He could fix anything. He's in his 80s now, taken a few hits but he's hanging in there. Still goes back to the family farm to "help". Everytime I see one of your videos I think of him....and I watch almost every day.
Never say whoa in a mud hole! Are there any instances where you torque to a specific setting? Combine/tractor/ bank-out wagon/implements? Enjoy the weather!
Just another day in the life of a farming family. Looking a few years ahead your problems will seem small because of all the experience’s you have encountered over the years. I’m currently 76 years young and I have so many things I have solved with simply thinking it through. You two have so many great year’s ahead of you, live it to the fullest . Thanks D A Smith Vietnam Veteran
Glad to see the combine is up and running. The moisture on that corn is pretty good. Don't have to spend money drying it. Glad you got the semi out. Thanks for the video. Take Care and Be safe on the farm. Out
Perfect illustration of differential action at 7:18. An unlocked differential keeps the torque (angular momentum) the same in both wheels. If there is no traction there is no torque so the other wheel gets nothing. A locked differential keeps the RPM (angular velocity) the same in both wheels. The need to drive out of these kinds of conditions is why so many off road vehicles are equipped with differential lockers. I'm not saying I would put one in a semi, I'm just using it as an illustration. Adding a little more weight may be counterintuitive but it increases traction, therefore torque, therefore torque to the other wheel. Nice job!
I grew up on a farm in south central Nebraska and we always did all our own repairs. As complicated as equipment is today i enjoyed seeing you work on your combine. Its great to see how the two of you seem to enjoy working together. Seeing your truck stuck reminds me we were always told if you are using a semi tractor off road you better have both rear axles live. Makes a big difference in slick conditions. ❤ love your show and how you two complement each other.
When you are stuck due to slick ground rather than too soft and sunken, put some lime on your tires that are spinning, and a little in front of them on the ground. Dries the soil, gives traction, and not hard on the environment. Did this often when doing construction, to get a concrete mixer or dump truck moving on slick ground
Yes, it certainly does work. In the gumbo flats of the Mississippi River basin northeast of STL they incorporate ag lime into the ground with a disk to remove the "plasticity" of the gumbo clay. Then they will build an industrial park of stand up buildings and pavement right on the ground.
Adding weight for traction thing, is also used by people with pickup trucks and two drive to get traction in the snow on city streets. They just add a few sandbags in the back and that helps out a lot.
I hope the mill gives you a good rate for the crop. You deserve it for all the hard work you put in to make it grow. It's nice to see the both of you working so well together. to together.
Lovbae your stuff, one bit of advice, when turning a truck around in the field go hard and don't slow down till it's back around straight and my father would have me out there with a scoop shovel and a bucket and then my hands picking up that corn. I think part of the reasoning being that once you got it cleaned up it was in your mind not to make that mistake again.😄😄
You need a battery-powered shop Vac for those "Oops!" cleanups. Stick it on the tractor or combine. Let's see, a girl who isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty and gets excited about a chance to clean the house and do laundry . . . Grant scored a winner!
Hey Guys My family still plants and harvests soy beans and corn like you do. Our current prices for Soy beans is $12.50 per bushel off $2.00 from last year...plus dry beans and green stems hurt the yields. Corn is $4.50 per bushel off about $1.50 from last year...these are cash prices. Ae these similar prices in your area? Hoping for a better yield next growing season.. Be safe guys.
Glad you got the corn head fixed. You've mentioned you've had to get meals out to the field. Question in my mind is if there is a catering service that would bring meals out to the harvest area? Even if they have to bring the meals from town. Or, do you have someone you could hire to make meals and bring them out? Each truck load yields about $4300. (860 bushels of corn per truck load at $5 per bushel.) So, if you stop to make meals and it means one less truck load per day that meal costs you the $4300 income. Having a catering service bring meals out to the field allows you to get one, or even two, more loads to the ethanol plant. Having someone else do the cooking also means less wear and tear on you as you won't need to be running back and forth during high harvesting peaks. I'm not sure when you get the highest prices per truck load for the corn but if it's early in the harvest season, getting one more load into the ethanol plant means more $'s in your pocket. Don't know if you've ever thought about it, but hope my idea helps. Hope you went on the date night and had a good time.
Neverseize, the stuff that magically gets everywhere. Watching how y'all change how you talked to each other when Grant's dad was in the shop is so interesting. I'm assuming he is supportive of your efforts to film and make these vids and I respect him not wanting to be on camera. It was really noticeable though how much you both tried to act like you weren't filming. Not trying to poke fun at all, just a general observation of human behavior. Love you guys and happy you've become modern day farmers that are using all the tools available to you to earn a living and make your dreams come true.
@@wyattblessing7078Rob was talking about Grant's dad. Laura's dad does have his own channel. Correct if I'm wrong, It's LEAD It's all his kids initials. Definitely worth checking out.
People need to realise that if we don’t start giving farmers the respect they deserve there won’t be any left especially when food is one of the three critical resources we need to survive
Soyez économe dans les charges d’exploitation félicitations pour votre rusticité pensez à rien oublier prenez soins de vous didier trouche France affectueusement !
Glad to see you using anti-seize on fasteners. BTW Be careful using impact tools so close to your face. They can do unexpected things and you can end up getting hit the face. Don't ask me how I know.
You shot this video on my birthday. It wasn't very good weather here in Illinois that day either. I usually go deer hunting on my birthday but this year the weather kept me home. Love watching you guys. Take care!
I can remember years ago, after the corn was picked, my dad would have to run a field chopper over the field to do what you can do in one pass. Big improvement.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting. Congratulations on nearing 500,000 subscribers. Am sure you will make it. Great!!!!!! Corn spilled on the ground. If it is any amount at all shovel it into do everything. That is money on the ground. Good going on getting the corn head fixed and running again. You two are good at teamwork!!!!!!’ Sorry the rain stopped you again. Hopefully you can harvest tomorrow. Hang in there. Think going out for supper is a good idea you two. You have been working hard and deserve a evening out. About it I guess. Thanks for everything Laura and Grant. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
You guys work so well together and it also nice to get to see you guys play and go on dates in the middle of harvest. It's nice you guys are always thinking of not just working together nicely. Laura you go girl and Grant your total study law
Hi Guys, find it humorous that when I commit on your facebook vlogs soon after a female or two ask me to be their friend. I do have a picture of me a much older man, God only knows what is in their head, I do not need that at my age when I am happy and serving the Lord. I do enjoy your vlogs and pray you get the i/2 million subscribers. God Bless You.
Mother nature wins again so awesome that your rain/cold Saturday was a short one for a little corn harvest break which always charges a farmers internal battery. Nice job putting the combine header back together and Oh Laura remember additional weight dealing with a long empty truck means spinning tires...it is like hydroplaning ..LOL. Thanks for posting until next week. Stay warm and BE SAFE!!
Being back from Nebraska City recently. I’m loving the regular updates! I’ve never really followed a creator before. This is good stuff. More AG science please. I love that part. “Show me the corn!”
Hey Laura great job on the gearbox installation & getting the truck unstuck, just an idea I've got a while now you should keep one off pepper kitten (a boy preferably) & name it SCOTTY Jr in honor of scooty !!!
I very enjoy all your content. It’s nice to see a young couple enjoying what you do and sharing it with everyone . It’s sad that most people don’t realize how much work goes into farming.
Always smart to have that Yakum Cord handy. The corn chucking was going on under the Harvest Moon and the solar eclipse but the night belongs to a dinner on the town. All work and no play makes everything go dull. Even Pepper with her kittens needs to play.
Laura, the reason adding some weight to the truck worked. Is semi tires and suspension is designed to work best when loaded. It's like having the tires on the Jeep pumped up too hard.
In winter, do not delay the completion of the harvest, but using the time to repair the harvesting equipment is better, and adopting the idea of repair will be good.
It's good that you learned about the effect of increased mass in those muddy conditions, but be careful with that when the ground is saturated - it will then mean deeper sinking. I look forward to your videos even more now that you and Grant are sharing your new journey together with Gage.
Rather than paper, a good analogy for how things get tougher when it rains would be to relate it to leaves from a tree. When they're wet/green, they can be pretty strong, but in fall when they dry down and fall off the tree, they are super delicate and easy to break/tear.
The oversize fines: basically are to account for that. 🤔💁♂Likely, designer may: have to put a (hollow rolling float sensor) there too.?? = Good question, thou. 👏👍
Hi Laura and Grant. Have you heard of sand channels. They are lengths of old canvas that are cut into drive tire and steer tire width and rolled up like a sleeping bag. Works good in wet or sandy conditions to get Vehicles unstuck. Shove under tires and slowly pull. Cuts down on putting ruts in the field .
I don't know why they were speaking so quietly in the shop while replacing the part of the corn head, but it was really nice. It felt like i was just hanging out watching rather than putting on a show for the camera.
I loved seeing Grant use anti-sieze compound on the bolts. So few people do. It's a great preventive maintenance product.

Lots of semi tractors do have differential locks, for situations like this.

I would check the bolts with a torque wrench when there is no other way of locking the bolts. Just to be sure they don't loosen up on the job.

Laura you are staggeringly lovely. What more can I say?
Hey Guys My family still plants and harvests soy beans and corn like you do. Our current prices for Soy beans is $12.50 per bushel off $2.00 from last year...plus dry beans and green stems hurt the yields. Corn is $4.50 per bushel off about $1.50 from last year...these are cash prices. Ae these similar prices in your area? Hoping for a better yield next growing season.. Be safe guys.
Glad you got the corn head fixed.
You've mentioned you've had to get meals out to the field. Question in my mind is if there is a catering service that would bring meals out to the harvest area? Even if they have to bring the meals from town. Or, do you have someone you could hire to make meals and bring them out?
Each truck load yields about $4300. (860 bushels of corn per truck load at $5 per bushel.) So, if you stop to make meals and it means one less truck load per day that meal costs you the $4300 income. Having a catering service bring meals out to the field allows you to get one, or even two, more loads to the ethanol plant. Having someone else do the cooking also means less wear and tear on you as you won't need to be running back and forth during high harvesting peaks.
I'm not sure when you get the highest prices per truck load for the corn but if it's early in the harvest season, getting one more load into the ethanol plant means more $'s in your pocket. Don't know if you've ever thought about it, but hope my idea helps.

I can remember years ago, after the corn was picked, my dad would have to run a field chopper over the field to do what you can do in one pass. Big improvement.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting.
Congratulations on nearing 500,000 subscribers. Am sure you will make it. Great!!!!!!
Corn spilled on the ground. If it is any amount at all shovel it into do everything. That is money on the ground.
Good going on getting the corn head fixed and running again. You two are good at teamwork!!!!!!’
Sorry the rain stopped you again. Hopefully you can harvest tomorrow. Hang in there.
Think going out for supper is a good idea you two. You have been working hard and deserve a evening out.
About it I guess. Thanks for everything Laura and Grant.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
You two are inspirational. The team work makes the dream work.
You guys work so well together and it also nice to get to see you guys play and go on dates in the middle of harvest. It's nice you guys are always thinking of not just working together nicely. Laura you go girl and Grant your total study law
I couldn't agree more!❤🇺🇲🇺🇲💯🫶💚💚💚💚 🚜 🚜 🚜
Thank you for the every day videos, it is very interesting to see your daily life as a real farmer, very informative .
Ooooh…makes me so anxious when you kids get underneath such heavy equipment! Glad you both work together for success ❤
Hi Guys, find it humorous that when I commit on your facebook vlogs soon after a female or two ask me to be their friend. I do have a picture of me a much older man, God only knows what is in their head, I do not need that at my age when I am happy and serving the Lord. I do enjoy your vlogs and pray you get the i/2 million subscribers. God Bless You.
Kudos to you and Grant! A great team! Saw a plane spraying the sugar cane in my neck of the woods today! I live in Reserve, La.
Mother nature wins again so awesome that your rain/cold Saturday was a short one for a little corn harvest break which always charges a farmers internal battery. Nice job putting the combine header back together and Oh Laura remember additional weight dealing with a long empty truck means spinning tires...it is like hydroplaning ..LOL. Thanks for posting until next week. Stay warm and BE SAFE!!
Being back from Nebraska City recently. I’m loving the regular updates! I’ve never really followed a creator before. This is good stuff. More AG science please. I love that part. “Show me the corn!”
8:16 put the diff lock ON the truck
5:45 Hey but the corn head worked WE GOT IT BACK GOING LOL
You are slowly but surely getting your 500k viewers!!😊
Go Team!
Hey Laura great job on the gearbox installation & getting the truck unstuck, just an idea I've got a while now you should keep one off pepper kitten (a boy preferably) & name it SCOTTY Jr in honor of scooty !!!
😏🙄🙄💁♂What happened to Jesus's dad? - Nobody knows, lol.
I very enjoy all your content. It’s nice to see a young couple enjoying what you do and sharing it with everyone . It’s sad that most people don’t realize how much work goes into farming.
Always smart to have that Yakum Cord handy. The corn chucking was going on under the Harvest Moon and the solar eclipse but the night belongs to a dinner on the town. All work and no play makes everything go dull. Even Pepper with her kittens needs to play.
Laura, the reason adding some weight to the truck worked. Is semi tires and suspension is designed to work best when loaded. It's like having the tires on the Jeep pumped up too hard.
Really enjoy your videos you too have a great weekend y'all take care now
10/16/23 - A Farmers work is Never done!! Hope y'all enjoyed your Date Night!
In winter, do not delay the completion of the harvest, but using the time to repair the harvesting equipment is better, and adopting the idea of repair will be good.
WOW, I bet they never thought about that..... Thank you Captain Obvious
Y’all are wonderful. Haha bouncing around in the ranger. Hilarious. 😂😂😂
It's good that you learned about the effect of increased mass in those muddy conditions, but be careful with that when the ground is saturated - it will then mean deeper sinking.
I look forward to your videos even more now that you and Grant are sharing your new journey together with Gage.
EVERYTHING on a farm wants to catch fire! grain bin 👉fire wet hay bale 👉 fire pigs in the shed 👉 fire
I have 30 years working industrial maintenance. I swear by never seize/anti seize on bolts and pipe threads.
Sometimes a little more weight will do it. Sometimes it will make it more stuck. Great job! 😁
I truly missed your post. Love all the videos you make.
Rather than paper, a good analogy for how things get tougher when it rains would be to relate it to leaves from a tree. When they're wet/green, they can be pretty strong, but in fall when they dry down and fall off the tree, they are super delicate and easy to break/tear.
Question: why is there not a cover on the top of the combine to prevent corn from fallong out?
The oversize fines: basically are to account for that.
🤔💁♂Likely, designer may: have to put a (hollow rolling float sensor) there too.?? = Good question, thou. 👏👍
Real nice job getting the truck unstuck. The boss lady has spoken, Don't spill the corn. LOL
Pepper sure has some 'real' claws!!! Lovely cat. Priceless videos.
Hi Laura and Grant. Have you heard of sand channels. They are lengths of old canvas that are cut into drive tire and steer tire width and rolled up like a sleeping bag. Works good in wet or sandy conditions to get
Vehicles unstuck. Shove under tires and slowly pull. Cuts down on putting ruts in the field .
I don't know why they were speaking so quietly in the shop while replacing the part of the corn head, but it was really nice. It felt like i was just hanging out watching rather than putting on a show for the camera.
Thanks for the update. Enjoy your date, dinner.
