Never, never apologize for loving your rural life and the work that you’re doing. I can totally relate with your appreciation of more quiet and peaceful wide open spaces. Keep up the good work of being a wonderful steward of God’s land.
Came here to say this very thing. 🙂 👊
Amen.
Laura I agree with you and your assessment of seat time. I find it allows me time to think and consider quite often plan crops or cattle work when I'm out on a tractor. Over the years I've also found that it's a good time for prayer and reflection.
I agree. In 4.5 more years I'm abandoning my city life for good when I retire. I've lived in the city for all of my life and it has slowly turned into a cesspool of humanity. Too much crime and corruption.
yeah, its you are used to countrylife, humans adapt to citylife too. but people are different and prefer different lifestyles. i am more of a countrytype too and dont like (big) cities... When i drive excavator or wheelloader i have the same feeling in the cab, my body does the work mostly automaticly and my brain can work with different things :D
I absolutely love doing the ground work. Total satisfaction when done. The smell, peace and contentment is un beatable.
I’ve always called it “ making new dirt” and all my kids call it that to this day.
Bless you and Grant every day. Wishing you both to always be happy, safe and comfortable!
As my TN Grandma would say “Honey be a Country Bumpkin All You Want!” Laura Great Video. You & Grant are Great Farmers!! Y’all’s Farm Examples are so much Appreciated!! Shout Out from North Alabama!
Friends jokingly say I'm the biggest redneck they know. That is because I haven't passed the hillbilly exam yet. I get to retake it in a few months.
Thanks again for sharing your life as a wife and farmer. America is in a safe place with people like you, Grant, and your Dad. Glad you use chains and didn't have any tire problems. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Laura is very smart to worry about tires. My dad passed that down to me and it has kept me safe always checking the tires for age, tread wear, cracking and proper inflation. Saved me from many potential accidents!
@@joefudd If those are JD factory tires, you can be sure they are marginal at best. My JD came with two ply tubeless tires. They lasted one season. Now I have 4 ply with tubes and no issues.
Being happy with what you do and being thankful for it makes you rich beyond measure. Many blessings upon you, Grant and your families.
She always does a good job at her farm, I'm impressed by this
Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life
I bet the things you have learned and the experiences you have gathered farming put you many years ahead of those you went to the party with. Imagine to yourself if any of them would back up a disc ripper to the edge of a field as easily as a sedan… You Rock !!
You really can see how huge that machine is on the long shots when Laura is in the cockpit. Love when you smell the dirt. I was in the infantry and smelled dirt all over the World. Always thought it was a part of the soul of the country we were in.
Smelling the dirt when it's just rained after a dry few days is one of life's little pleasures.
Keep us up to date on the farm activities during the winter months. The methods and practices are really interesting. Thanks
Our kids' high school has a "Drive your tractor to school" day - THAT is country bumpkin! Sadly, we have no tractor for them to drive, however, the parking lot is always rather full of JD green on that day. It's funny since we're in the richest county in the state. We live on the "outskirts" where it's still all country. You were here just 2 weeks or so ago!
Up here in North Dakota, most farmers rip whole fields every year, as freeze up is only a few weeks past harvest sometimes, and it thaws so late in the spring that the ground won't dry up soon enough to plant. If it's not broken up before winter, it's very difficult to work next year.
Couldn't agree more about city life, even busy towns... so grateful I live in the country, so quiet, peaceful... I referred to myself a few years back as "the hermit on the hill"... only left every few weeks for shopping, visit with close friends. Lived, worked, went to school in Boston many years back... work environment was stimulating... but I missed trees and green grass... been here for 36 years now, thank God for every day. Watching you and Grant is so magical...
One of my favorite things about machine work is the alone time in the cab. So peaceful
Have you also worked on the farm?
@@tony98discovery I have farmed and worked in construction. Lots of equipment time.
Atta Boy Grant...Love seeing you ask how your wife's day went!!!!!! and Laura right back always keep that up you two!!!!
Thank you for the memories.
Grew up in Northern Iowa and dad always called it chisel plowing, and that ripper of yours is quite similar. It leaves more material on top to keep the topsoil from blowing away over winter.
My favorite memories are fall plowing and spring disking.
I enjoy your videos, you are a great teacher of the farm life. My mother lived on farm during the Great Depression. All the banks were closed, so no cash, ATMs did not exist yet or credit cards. Barter and trades ruled the economy, so they had a lot to trade with, eggs, vegetables.
Totally understand the Silence factor of your country living. You are quite blessed to have it!
That's what it looked like, a plough with disc attachment, for a better finish. That will also aerate the soil. Another good use for the big wheel tractor. Who said farming is finished after the harvest is done, that is not so, there is always work to do on a farm.
Thanks Laura, Love from Mike. ❤
Don’t forget cleaning, servicing, repairing and upgrading equipment. Then there is transporting your harvest that’s sitting in the bins and the bin maintenance. Maybe cleaning ditches and culverts. Don’t forget the pivot’s upkeep. Installing new tile/repairs. Building repairs. And don’t forget the planing for all of the above. The planing with your banker, insurance company, seed company, chemical company (fertilizer and other), fuel companies and getting fields ready for spring. And don’t forget plowing and shoveling snow in between all this, when ever Mother Nature wants to mess with you. 😮 Did I miss anything? Maybe a cold just to make you miserable. 🤔 Tax preparation and balance sheets
Always something new to learn! Thanks for sharing!🙂
7 Shank Disc Ripper...try saying that 7 times fast!!
Shout out to Grant on his exterior shots. His camerawork has really come a long way!
I'm envious of your lifestyle on the farm. What a great life especially when you're doing something you love so much. You're truly an inspiration Laura and if I had it to do all over again, I'd want to be a farmer. I know it's hard work but, like you, I'm sure I could adapt. Thanks for teaching us about farming.
the feeling of smoothly moving a blade through hard soil is very satisfying
idk why, just the thought of it makes me happy
Always enjoy your videos. Your commentary is interesting and informative: your passion for all things Ag is obvious. Your rural setting is wonderful.
Crossing your chains will allow the trailer tongue to fall into the cross chains if the trailer becomes detached. preventing the tongue from digging into the roadway.
Merry Christmas and Happy Anniversary Laura.
Good to see you always having fun. I can relate to quiet time to think.
I grew up in KS and lived there until I was in my late 20s, I moved to
the east coast and I've been there/here for more years than I was in KS.
What I do miss is the peace, the ability to look to the horizon and
see for miles in any direction and finally the ability to look up at the night sky
and see stars from horizon to horizon. You can't do that in New Hampshire. ;)
I hope you continue to enjoy what you have.
Where I used to live in Wisconsin neighbors in the area usually added a pulverizer roller set to the very back of the disk ripper setup to finish the field in the spring for planting.
"Country bumpkins" rock! You couldn't pay me enough to live in the city. It's bad enough that I have to work in one.
I'm a A G consultant in South Texas and my customers use these after they harvest grain sorghum . The only thing different is they have a clod buster on the back since we have have black ground.It is a one pass deal till they put fertilizer for next years crop.
6:25 I swear I could smell the dirt as you walked back and kneeled down.
*Laura* ...It smells so good...
Perhaps I really am meant to be a farmer... but for now I have to be happy with a garden.
Love your videos! Keep up the great work!!
you and grant are amazing! living in the city (philly) with my 3 kids and beutiful wife danielle, thank you so much for showing us your fields. we all love your video's . way better than cable! we love faming. keep going girl!
Amen on dual safety chains Laura. Good job on plowing your field. Tell Grant hello and please tell you , Grant and your families hello. Merry Christmas to everybody I n your families 👍🚜🚜
It's nice to see you smiling. This is Korea. The scale of farming in the US is very large. Always work safely with the equipment 🙋♀️
I'd love you guys' country bumpkin life, for exactly those reasons. Love the channel!
Me too, it's nice to wake up every morning at a farm with fresh air
@@tony98discovery To be fair, I do live 100 meters from a lovely beach. Some hardship......
Your videos are always so peaceful, I love watching them before heading to bed!
That Was Fun!!
Thank You Laura For Bringing Us All With You Today!! Loved The Ride Along!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😀👍👊❤
That looks like it’s doing a good job breaking up the Soil!👍👍
I'm 58 and miss field work from when I was in my twenties on the family farm, appreciate your videos, keep up the great work.
I’m a Texas country bumpkin. I’ve lived in the big city, and now I live in the country. Cattle and Horses in “my backyard”. Literally.
Lots of farmland here in Texas. Ranch lands too. I prefer the open spaces and quiet.
Laura, your love for the care of the land and your equipment is evident. Another good long hard days work. Well Done !! Isn't it great to know that not only did you loosen up the soil but that the stubble will be nourishing it for the spring. You and Grant try to get some rest when you can..Michigan
In Minnesota we would rip only, then finish with a disc, and we would also go slightly off center of the rows.
You are right doing what you are doing in the field just you and your equipment is so much nicer then being in the city with all of the city noises. I live in Los Angeles and when we take vacations we try and go out in the country where it is quiet, it is just so calming. Once I retire want to find a nice quiet spot to chill out for a few weeks. Keep up this great channel.
Thanks for all the education you provide to us non-farmers. I live in combo suburban/rural with several small by your standards fields within walking distance of my house. Seems that corn is planted one year and soybeans the next. Most of the fields were harvested from late October through November. However, there are still two corn fields that have yet to be harvested as of today Dec. 7. Why would the farmer still be waiting to harvest?
You are definitely living the dream Laura! So much to be proud of. Nothing better than farming in the country with family.
From some one who has lived in a couple of the worlds largest city's , I so very much have enjoyed my tractor time & the peace, even when hot sweaty covered in grit & grime ( no cab ) . I will choose my country life every time, listening to crickets & frogs any day over mass human verbiage. I ever so much enjoy riding with you, please keep taking me with. Thank you for all you & Grant do.
The ripper is used a lot in Indiana, most farmers have an attachment on the back like a roller basket, or spike tooth harrow to level the ground and make it smoother the next time you work in the field.
@user-qk2tm4mi2x I don’t know what else I can tell you, go see your implement dealer, maybe he can show you. It’s a great combination.
@@davidmahoy4478 You replied to a spambot. Laura doesn't reply to comments.
Country bumpkin and being a farm girl is a feather in your cap. Give yourself a gold star!
Laura Farms I'm happy y'all are farming. Not many people like to work hard. Miss the farm work and be your own boss
We love what you do too! Keep on keeping on! That tractor is what I call a four wheeler! Arrrgh!
Great video. I spent Thanksgiving week in Freemont with my son and his family (he's an extension agent with the Univ of Nebraska), and it was fun to feel like I was "back home" since I grew up in farm country in northwest Ohio and I love the country and the relative quiet. Happy holidays to you and yours!
Cant agree more. No place better to clear your mind and think than in a tractor cab working ground.
Gripping and ripping. Great video. Nice to see how it's done where you live. Can't beat farming. All the best 🇬🇧.
Laura, your new intro (for the past couple months) is perfect! Short, sweet and easier on the ears for us headphone watchers! 😉👌
My family moved from western new york, smack dab between buffalo and rochester...bout a mile and a half south of lake ontario(very rural)...to the san fernando Valley in so cal. Ill take country bumpkin allllll dayyyyy long(loved the mountains) Congrats on all your hard work. God bless you guys
Love you guys.
I hope you pack something with you especially when you are by yourself.
God bless you all
Good god, what a mindset. This is why I don't visit your country anymore.
Beautiful shot of the tractor returning home at night.
Disk ripping is one of my favorite jobs with farming
Hard Pan, I can relate. My Dad has called me Hard Head all of my life. LOL 😂
I hope you have a wonderful holiday. I just finished watching ALL your videos today. Never been a chance to comment in past. I love watching you both work so hard and get good rewards for your efforts!!!!!! Keep up all the work!! Don
@textlaurafarms2ontelegram731 hello. Guess I am confused. You are the one that should get gifts. Lol
I love that "LITTLE" toy that you have to play with. It's no slouch. You are learning what "IT'S ALL ABOUT".
Love you and Grants content,,, grew up on a international “RED POWER ‘ farm... no judgement,,, hope y’all live a long, prosperous life...
I know exactly what you mean. I've been living in a rural area for a long time and living in the city took me a long time to get used to. Noises everywhere and all the time.
Enjoy your life is what it is about. No need to apologise for that. Keep up the great work.
Enjoy your videos and what you are doing. Y'all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..
Thank you for another great and exciting video. I could imagine the feel of the tractor working. I did hear it working.
Have you also worked on the farm?
Now retired i worked for many years as a ag mechanic(john deer,New Holland) then as a sales rep for New Holland and Kubota after an accident on a combine that damaged my left knee. The tool you are using we call a sub soiler . The tip of the shank was adjusted to two inches below the compaction plate in the soil. We would dig a hole with a shovel and measure the depth plate so as to ajust the shank tooth properly. Where i worked we had heavy clay soil that was easy to compact with big equipment thus rendering the soil unfit for farming.A seven shank subsoiler as you have we would need a 300hp tractor to pull it through the hard pack clay soil. After which you would go from a 5 ft corn plant to a 12 ft corn plant the very next year.
That implement is a disc ripper because the ripper tines are sprung and curved and made from sprung steel a subsoiler has a straight solid fixed legs to them that are a lot longer and are mostly pulled in the ground 18" to 24" deep.
@@johns9315 you are right but the depth at witch you work is in relation to the compaction of the soil. If you go too deeper or too shallow the action needed to break the layer of compact soil will not be reached. Also the speed is important and that is dictated by the soil not the operators manual. To fast or to slow will not attain the proper result.
I have seen the soil rise almost 12" from where it was before. I have also seen slabs of compact soil from the ripper tooth to the back wheels of the tractor just come up in a big solid slab. The end result is in the of increase of yeild the very next year.
sounds good! that is just the kind of result they need here!!
@@scottsoper1213 not necessarily because it can loosen the ground to much and cause it to dry out to fast, sub soiling is mostly done to break up the deep pan so ground drains better into tiles in wet climates
Is it just me but is anyone else amazed at the amount of people that watch these for the farming stuff?
This is one awesome girl thanks for sharing your life with us
We used to run 7 shank deep subsoiler on the 3 point mount dropping the bar to nearly 25” deep. The disk on your chisel keep your shanks from going as deep, but you are breaking up some hard pan.
Great shot at 14:09!!!!! Loved seeing the Tractor coming home to the farm with all it's lights on and OUR Laura at the helm!!!!!!!
ADD on: I meant BIG TIRES!!!!
Very good educational video.
Good shot of the plow. I could see how deep that you were plowing.
Meeting you and your parents at F2F on Wednesday was amazing! Thank you so much!
Awesome video Laura, nothing like the smell of fresh turned dirt, can't wait for your next working dirt video lol
years ago we used a cheisel plow it sure rolled up alot of big rocks
That is a beautiful night Laura...Like seeing the yellow and green with that backdrop behind it!!!!!!!
There is more noise in the city and that makes it less enjoyable to me personally. When I get a place that is super quiet I am very happy. Right now I am in a small time and the dogs bark but there's not a drone of vehicles. Quiet makes me happier than most things can. That said, ear plugs, the foam inserts, work great for sleeping or when I'm in a loud area like an airport or an airplane. The foam inserts are my greatest ally! 😀
Laura: great idea to hook up the safety chain! I lost a clip going through soft soil in a gully with my disk a few years ago and bounced out the pin. Tore hydraulic lines forcing time-wasting repair. A wise farmer anticipates trouble.😊. BTW, LOVE the beautiful Nebraska sky.
Nice work with the ripper, FYI: Anhydrous Ammonia kills the good microbes in the soil that help breakdown the organic corn stalks, bean residue etc. It aslo kills all the good worm activity due to the extreme cold that it has. It basically sterlizes the soil. Many farmers are now getting away from Anhydrous Ammonia in favor of other types of fertilizer and no till applications. Hope you will research this and learn lots more about it. Thanks for great video's.
As the Wilson and Carlson families both grow above average yields in both corn and soybeans; can you give them a little credit that they might just know what they are doing!!
Grateful for the visual and explanation of your work and mental conditioning. Merry Christmas to the family.
I totally get what your saying I live in the country wouldn't trade it for anything and love your earrings very cool
Last time coming back from Billings, we stopped in Sydney Neb!
Peace and quiet are underrated Laura . John from Illinois.
*Nice to see the life of a woman farmer, thank you very much. Merry Christmas, Laura*
👍👍👍👍. I always enjoyed disking and plowing on Grandad’s farm. His tractors and equipment were no where as large as yours and certainly didn’t have air ride seats in a cab with heat and air. I’ve always missed working on the far since graduating college and doing my own thing (teaching high school). But my uncles still farm. They only do hay and raise cattle though.
Those balloon tires sure make the tractor ride smooth. The camera gives away how smooth the ride is. This is really good for your lower back
Great video. So cool.to see you helping out on Grants farm. Love his tractor and the ripper.
Good job Laura...tight work on " Safety Sally" watching you...[ cross the chains for added security].. Jus sayin!
If you...are a country bumpkin...God bless ya!! DON'T CHANGE!! I hate city life n refuse to live in that mess! Right now,I'm 3/4 of a mile from a live stock n produce farm that dates back 5 generations..they have a great farm store,that is an old time General store!! Parts for your equipment, work clothes,work shoes n boots,a bakery,deli,n fresh from the gardens fruits,veggies n fresh meats at the butcher counter!! Awesome place!! I shop there, anytime I can! Not chain grocery stores!! " support local,eat local "!
👍🦊🧙♂️🐺👍
I'm a firm believer in the safety chains as well. They saved my arse on a very important trip. I was pulling a light duty 40' single tandem gooseneck with a 1/2 ton long wheelbase pickup. The total weight was 200 pounds under the DOT requirement for a CDL. The load was stupidly heavy. Going through Dallas, the expansion plate between an earthen ramp and the associated bridge was missing or something. Either way, when I went other it, it bounced both me and my passenger up off our seats. Unknown to me. that jolt caused the hitch to jump the ball. The hitch ended up in the bottom of the bed, tugging on the safety chains. Get off the freeway and into a parking lot was a pain as touching the brakes caused the gooseneck to slide forward into the ball. Touching the throttle caused it to slam back into the chains. Each way was killer on my already bad back.
I got it into a gas station parking lot before finally figuring out exactly what happened. I know for a fact the hitch was locked down when we left as three of us checked it. The load I was hauling was prototype equipement valued at well over $5M. Nothing was broken on the hitch, but the bed would not have lasted another minute on the road. Had I skipped the safety chains, that trailer would have just ripped through the tailgate and probable would have gone rolling down the highway. The load was majorly over strapped with 12 straps down the length of the 40' trailer with each strap alternating wrapping around every other tubular tool. Each tubular tool was cradled in a wooden V block that was screwed to the deck. Yea, we totally over engineered the tiedown and placement, but that's what I wanted as a driver to know I had a safe load.
G'day g'day from West Oz again Grant & Laura. That J.D. sure has some pulling power to have all those "shanks" (as you call them over there") at the depth they are at. I think it would be working a lot harder in a lot of West Oz grain growing soils as there is a stack of ironstone & gravel in certain areas. After a long hot,dry , summer even a bulldozer with 3 solid steel ripper "shanks" are working pretty hard to drag them. That would be for water pipe trenches or stump & root pulling on new land, not for cultivation of the paddocks. The crops are all in on the farm where I live & from what I hear it has been a very good tonnage for the wheat, barley & canola. Even had 4mm last night to settle the all the crop chaff & dust & germinate all those weeds that miraculously appear from nowhere. Your sunset are terrific & seem to have a "softer" (?) look than ours here. Do you have a tech setup where I could send you some photos of the area I live in? Thanks for another "smile on my dial" video .😁 👍.
I went and tried upside and thinks it's pretty cool. thanks for the heads up Laura.
You might want to think about running a deep subscriber over that part of the field!!
About silence it makes perfect sense about what you said.. Ripper sound good..
Great video. I never used so large a tractor or one that was so soft on your seat. Big tyres and suspension make a big difference.
Wow, seeing those wide open spaces (not to mention that sunset) reminds me a lot of what it used to be like here in the southeast valley area of Phoenix, Granted that was almost 30-years ago, everything has become so developed out here. Sadly most of the cotton and corn fields are gone as are all the (dairy) feed lots.
farm ground has the prettiest sunrises and sunsets
People who don’t live in the Midwest as we do just can’t appreciate the beautiful weather we have here. Now if we could just get some snow here in Iowa that would be great. 😂
I think an in-line ripper would be a better choice for breaking up compaction but that will help.
Laura, you sound like a person comfortable with silence. That usually means you are at a good place in your head. The chaos and noise of a city generates a lot of stress. Next up… safety chains. Your instincts are solid, those chains are a good thing. If a trailer comes off the hitch on the road, those chains will keep the trailer from killing someone in another vehicle. I really enjoy your content!
You should call that tractor “big foot”! 😆
