Your Dad is justifiably proud of his working daughter and so am I. You are just a dear, dear beauty and a worker deluxe. Attitude is 99% and you have a super attitude.
Nice to see someone real on UA-cam and enjoy watching "unedited" videos for a change. Your a joy to watch, keep it up!
It sure is someone nice bubbly and real.
My very first sweetheart was a farm girl🤗🤗. We would go on long drives together off into the sunset as we rode our bicycles & shared a grape soda... I thought we knew everything about the world, even though we were only 12 yrs. old I look forward to 4-H meetings every Thursday and Saturday night just to see her.
Dad is a tease with that water. You held up just great. Those pivots are pretty fascinating, and I know they need to checked often, and a lot of work goes into their maintenance. Really enjoy watching you work with your Dad and have fun at the same time. Keep up the great videos ❤️😊
Its a dad thing Laura.... hard to let someone else do it
Someone has to call for help.
My dad is 80 and still climbs on stuff when I could be doing it for him.
It's even worse when it's a farmer dad.
I have rush and do the jobs so my dad won't do it himself kinda bugs me that he won't wait for me even t hough I'm a minute out gotta let dads be dads I guess ill probly be just like that when I become a father
If ya want it done right u do it yourself-- plus every job done well releases serotonin or some such!! :)
Your Dad constantly soaking you was hilarious! 😂 He seems like such an awesome guy with a great personality. It's not hard to see where you get it from! 😊
Your Dad is awesome! He is always going to protect you, whether you want it or not. Great job with the hearing protection. Took it for granted for years, now I am regretting it. Keep up the good work
You've got a cool Dad and you are a good daughter.
14:20 YES, I agree, I got married last year and ear plugs are wonderful :)
3:00 - Love how you are causally talking to the camera and I bust out laughing as can see your Dad slowly raised the water closer and closer to you but didn't have a clue it was coming. That was awesome. I needed that laugh. Thanks. Oh, moisture-wicking neck gators (when worn over the head like a bandana) help with the keeping hair in place, but also sweet dry pretty quick (if moisture-wicking, not 100% cotton) especially is a wind of riding the ATV or a breeze. I find hats just get nasty and smelly after a while. The neck gators just toss in the wash and good to go again. I have a few of them I use when outdoors all day.
Father and daughter awesome team work. Amazing team. Should be a everlasting forever combination
Very Happy to see a young woman farming! Hopefully you'll continue to farm and be a role model to other women!
You are there in case he falls , it is a dad thing !!! You have plenty of time to show the world how great you are
You are so right with the ear plugs. I wear them all day long too while I drive truck. Definitely feel better at the end of the day than if I didn't.
Your father is awesome. Probably hardly feels like work with all the laughs.
Hope you aren't over the road with ear plugs in.
Your dad won't stop, that's why you have nice things. Your very lucky to have a beautiful farm like that.
Hey Laura, I’m a Dairy Farmer from Ontario Canada. It’s neat to see how you get things done in Nebraska
I did my flight training in central Washington, where they also use pivot irrigation. I spent a lot of time circling over them using the center part as a reference point for many maneuvers! Great videos keep up the good work!
I love how much you worried about your dad when he climbed the pivot :D You have an awesome dad!
Probably too late to comment.
Point one. Probably the most versatile repair or fastening medium we use is inner tube. From tractors or trailers, even motorbikes. That leak on the pivot hub can be stopped by simply cutting 1" wide strips of inner tube into long strips. Then strapping the leak. The tension of the stretched inner tube compresses and counters the water pressure.
Point two. I see you are using the Senninger generation one nozzles. I strongly recommend you upgrade to generation 3. So easy to clean and quick. Simple clip ins.
I farm 340ha in Moçambique. We prefer the Reinke pivots. They give no hassle. I do have a Valley pivot on one field though.
Save the inner tubes and use for quick fixes. I even tie stuff on my bike with inner tube strips.
Last point. I really enjoy following your youtube. Very up beat and creative.
You're amazing! I can watch you all day omg
Laura is so cute and right out there with her dad in the mud. No worries about your hair Laura, you look adorable. 🚜😊
Where a helmet while on a four-wheeler or dirt bike please
Laura, Beautiful Laura. Your dad would rather hurt himself than ever see you hurt. So, it isn't any wonder he'd climb pivots etc rather than have you. Laura you can't please all of the people all of the time. Some are just prone to nit picking, complaining, whining etc. Having to explain I drink water too and down a bottle on cam isn't going to appease those morons. Great stuff Laura.
Totally agree about the ear plugs. I live in London, UK and its so nice to have a bit of quiet when I'm communiting on train or walking around the crazy loud city.
“I dont know why he wont let me do this for him” this is training for when he is over 70, then u will be saying that to him daily ;)
Yo, your dad is great please show more of him!
The 'I'm here for a reason' whisper to your dad, awww
At 4:20 is how my daughter looks at me when she want that really really really cool for her .
That ATV is the most expensive ladder I've ever seen. lol
I know farming is a lot of hard work, but you and your dad make it look so fun. Must be great to be able to work with your family full time and enjoy the rewards of your labor together. Thank you to you and your family for working so hard to help feed (and/or fuel) our Country. Love the videos!!!
"Noisebuster" Electronic Noise Cancelling Safety Earmuffs are great for hearing protection. I had a pair for 10yrs. When they broke, I used my David Clark ENC aircraft headset since I don't fly anymore. Wear a tight fitting scarf for your hair on windy days, but not near rotating machinery of course. My mom always wore a silk scarf in the wind. Low lying wet areas that can't be filled in with soil from somewhere else makes good wildlife habitat. You're doing just great! It all takes time.
Your Dad is amazing keep up the good work i enjoy farming videos
I was working the flooding in Nebraska last spring. I saw a lot of flooded fields. Farmers in Ne raska had a hard time. I love the videos.
great choice to keep the earplugs in all day. Working with machinery and stuff you'll never feel like finding your earplugs before starting something and the worst they'll do when its quiet is like you say; everyone is just quiet and chill and you can still hear them
Found your channel purely by accident but I must say I'm loving it so far and yes I know I'm way behind but I've started at video 1 and mad it to here so far. Now I don't wear earplugs per say but I do the same thing with ear buds to help the same way plus the added benefit of being able to listen to my music or podcast. Can't wait to get caught up.
Now, no one is going to send you snacks in the mail.
They're going to send you EARPLUGS!!!
Just listened to you on the Plowtalk podcast. Loved how enthusiastic you sounded about your youtube videos.
I've said this before, I am very close to my daughter, and I would have loved to have had the chance to work with her on a farm or in a business. Enjoy that opportunity.
4:20 are you kidding me with those eyes?!
She is unbelievable pretty
.... The Field Lake ...... to empty put in a sump that the pivot can suck up and disperse over the field, wouldn't take long at 700 gallons a minute .. yes may have to strain to get rid of gunk to avoid clogging ..... will lake be there every time it rains ..... awesome to see you drinking water, ask yourself if when you consume sugar foods and you are hungry a while later is it hunger or coming off sugar high and you need another fix .... got told at 62 that I am diabetic, off the chart, 6'2" 170 lbs, took care of it with diet and exercise, eat meat and veggies now, no more cravings, or snacks needed between meals, wish I knew the evils of sugar and carbs (sugar in disguise) 30-40 years ago .... thx for giving us a peek into your life Laura ....never stop dreaming, just dream bigger ...... have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
Get a bucket hat(Army style, not gardener lady style). Chin strap for high speeds, works great against deer flies/bugs, keeps you cool and your skin will thank you later in life. White/black digital camo is my favorite for summer heat and dirty active lifestyle.
That eyeroll 😂😂😂😂🥰
I used to drive by these everyday for work and never knew what they actually did, thanks!
Get a base cap. And yeah, I like ear plugs in a loud environment too. You get such a harmony, when you put them out in a nice environment. It is so much more enjoyable then.
You need to dig in a down spout drain, level 1inch above level in the tree line.
20 ft. Down with rocks, wrap opening with waddled.
Love seeing farming problems (or free lakes)
Ty for the water reminder too!
That is one super size sprinkler! 😆 LOL
Hi sacred work! I don't have that at home! a farmer who follows you from Switzerland. greetings françois.
11:33 Lol as an experienced water drinker, I was waiting for that part.
You are a hard worker and I enjoy your videos
I used to wonder how they got so many perfect round circles in farm fields when flying way above the US midwest ... now I know it was pivots (I think?)
aliens. bwahaha I flew an RV-4 for 6 years. I like checking old barns while flying.
Wow you are beautiful/ gorgeous farmer. A 100% pure badass. Respect Laura. ✊🌹🧝♀️
Thank you...Proud of Y'all
Farming is on of the jobs you can slow down between. And that is important for health. 👍
Great video Laura
Your dad is cool as hell!!!!
You are absolutely right about hearing protection, wish I would have worn it more when I was your age, then I wouldn't be saying "huh" all the time!! Beautiful eyes.....
You're there to go for help, just in case.. and the old timer ironworkers say to toss stuff right at their face- they will catch it every time
aim for the nose they always told me
I always checked the amount of water application by timing the amount of time it takes to fill a 2 1/2 gallon jug. Then calculate the part of the pivot that nozzle covers in that amount if time. There is 27,153 gallons for each ac inch.
Actually I never met a girl like you so into agricolture. I can definitelly feel how passionate you are! where I live, people study agricolture just if the don't want to study anything more serious and it so demotivatin that the richness that produce the first sector is thrown away into the bin like not important. that makes me so sad. Anyway keep going on on making videos I really enjoy that. best wishes from ITaly xoxo
Haha Laura has a hysterical facial expression talking about her dad climbing the pivot.
Great Video Laura. You are smart to be serious about hearing protection. Damage you do now won't show up until you are older and it's way too late. You might want to consider some higher quality ones. I had earplugs custom made to fit my ears. They are more comfortable and block out sound much better than the disposable ear plugs. They also allow me to hear people talking but still block out the harmful sounds . Sometimes it can be dangerous to not be able to hear your surroundings.
4:22 They way you look at your dad :3
I know. That concern for her dad was pretty heartwarming. Nice to see an actual good person on UA-cam.
That's a thousand yard stare right there.
I was going to post the same thing. Ha
What is this? Mom and her Son farming corns !?
Jeeeesss Laura your kid is such a little troublemaker.... 😂
Control his shenanigans or else he might hurt himself jumping around in the field.
Ear protections is always a good choice. Tinitus is pretty common later in life for anyone working around machinery and can be crippling.
Laura you are so awsome you always make smile i really enjoy your videos pleas keep up your great work 👍👍🇱🇻
A woman who knows how to drink from plastic bottle, u are rare species :) and those eyes, omg!
Flex Seal(or similar) rubberized tape would be a good temporary fix(or permanent) for that leak. There’s other similar products that are more like fiberglass, but they’d be harder to remove if/when you guys decide to repair the leak properly.
Keep up the good work.
Drink whatever you want and as much as you want, enjoy being young.
Another awesome video! Take care and God Bless!
I love your videos and I send you luck from Chile
Not hard to find pivots in North East Nebraska on Google maps, took about a second. Thanks for doing what your doing.
You have shown several old pivots that you are going to junk out. When I was on the farm I would make livestock panels out of them. So a pipe on top and bottom with angle iron spaced to make the panel and weld hog panels welded to the angle iron or use the truss rods to fill in the space between the pipes. Be careful when welding galvanized iron. I would use a box fan to suck the smoke away from the weld. Sucking is better than blowing the smoke
Great idea!! I'll pitch it to dad.
What control the speed of the pivots wheels as the outside have to turn faster then the inside?
Really enjoy watching a large farming operation. Thank you 😊
Like he said. The outside tower is on a timer... the rest just have linkage rods to turn them on and off to stay in line.
You are beautiful young lady-keep shining! Blessings from TN
We just got 10 inches of rain in Wisconsin a few days ago, we lost a few kidney bean fields, and the bridge going into town is gone!
just discovered this channel. interesting. I think I will watch more and then subscribe. keep up the way you do your channel.
He’s still Dad and he feels that he has to impress you. Enjoy him while you have him.
I always wondered why those circles were in the fields, really interesting to know!
Wear a headband in the wind! It works great for that stubborn litte hair around the face and it’s pretty comfortable :)
Hi Laura! Just found your channel & loving your videos already! I'm such a non-farming guy, just gotta ask... so those long water "thingys" that stretch across a field are called pivots? Just shows ya what I know!!! And just finding your channel & listening to your amazing explanation of what you're doing & how you're doing it really helps a lot. So wait 'til I get caught up & hopefully know a little more of what your're explaining! What a treat! And thanks... y'all are amazing!!!
Great smiles!
That looks like a fun job on a hot summer day.
Yes I definitely saw PLENTY of those crop circles from 33,000 feet going out west and back easy way to many times. We actually use ALL of that stuff you do here in Florida, just on a Much MUCH Smaller scale 😱😳🤭
this is how i feel playing farming simulator
Is the black circle a part of that BLM stuff
@@ruralconservative6625 lol no its a pfp i have always had. But I do support it.
@@lauren6947 I don't, looting and burning down buildings isn't protesting
@@ruralconservative6625 oh boy here we go again
@@ruralconservative6625 If you want to talk politics i do not think this is an appropriate place to do so.
Looks like you need to install drain tile for the wet section of that field.
One of those hold my beer and watch me moments 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay, pivots. Each set of wheels travels a different distance around the circumference of the arc, so they each have to travel at a different speed to stay in line. So, is the speed of each set of wheels controlled by gearing, or electronic control of drive motors? What kind of feedback mechanism ensures that the wheels are driving right and the pivot stays aligned? Also, how are the spray nozzles compensated so that some areas are not flooded and some areas are dry? Are you setting up that pivot for a winter cover crop, or just getting it tuned up for the next season?
You're adorable! And dad rocks! Happy birthday old man!
Your still his Little Girl! And always will be. And your Dad will always worry about you. P.S. you need a Head Band! It will hold back your hair.💚🥰👍
Protecting your hearing is a good thing
So is the watering controlled on each spray nozzle head so as to have even watering? Since the outer end tower has to cover more ground than center end tower less. If all nozzles spray the same amount then the center will get a lot more water then the end.
So I see y'all driving your trucks, atv, and such over the field. How does that not kill all the plants?
you should check out all the braids on kayley melissa's channel. you need to start braids at the front then join them up in the back. that will help keep the babyhairs under control. that and a lot of bobby pins...
100% keep wearing earplugs! ALOT of people - especially farmers - have hearing damage, and it is such a pain. The more you protect them, the longer your ears will last ;)
Your dad is amazing
Bald is good for high wind speeds and rain. Thank me later
Ask him how he knows.
Not so much for rain I'm afraid. Water just runs down your skin whereas long hair prevents your skin from getting wet for a while and can drive water away from you if it's over some rainsuit or something similar. Ask me how I know.
The lighting at 4:20 is amazing and brings out your eyes beautifully.
Keep up the ear protection, when I was your age it wasn't a thing. I now spend £1000s on hearing aids and having to watch TV and Movies with subtitles. Whilst its occasionally funny when I misunderstand what somebody say in reality it can be confusing and parties etc are a real turn off. So its great to see you being so sensile at the start of your career :-)
"I need a rainsuit"
"I wanna go to the lake"
🤔
Hey there, just found your channel about a month ago so I'm going through and looking at some of your old videos and loving all of them. In reference to your earplugs, they look like the foam kind you get. If you're going to be wearing earplugs a lot might I suggest you consider going to an audiologist, You know a guy who makes hearing aids. For some types of hearing aids they actually do mold impressions of your ears to send them off to a lab to make the hearing aid. Even though I spent several years working in rock and roll I don't need hearing aids Because I actually went to a guy and got custom molded earpieces for myself. Not only do I have earplugs that are custom molded to my ears but I also have special molds designed to fit old style Apple Earbuds, sadly the new earbuds Design don't work With ear molds. But you can get some molds for other types of earbuds that use the rubber housings that go in your ear. Anyway it's just a thought I know I love mine and I often times forget I am wearing them because they're so comfortable because they're molded to my ears. Keep up the great work in the great videos, thanks.
