I agree with all the rest. Stay in school. You’ll never regret it. There’s a time for everything, and now is the time for school. Love your channel and content. Keep what you’re doing coming as best as possible. We’ll all survive with whatever content you are able to come out with.
Degree, degree, degree! Don't lose sight of your goal. I have several friends (I'm now 73) who took a semester or year off. The year off turned into decades off and they wish that they had somehow 'toughed it out' and finished the degree.
I'd suggest finishing your degree first. Laura Farms is not going away and it's very easy to postphone the degree forever beyond that. As there will always be something more important etc. UA-cam is a complete time sink. Hence, tackeling the degree first puts that out of your way.
Videos of just hanging around the shop in the winter are great!.. cleaning stuff, greasing stuff... fixing stuff... I bet your Father never really slows down too much...and the content with him is awesome!.... give him a camera, you go get that degree !...and that farm will STILL be farming when you graduate....focus on that diploma, and get your dad a camera!... you asked.... that's my answer ..God Bless you ...
1:34 - Love it. Waved to your own shadow. Finish your degree. Once you stop or take a pause, it's harder to get re-started again and requirements for graduation could change so get it done. Your Laura Farms stuff can be done when time permits.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to have a happy and successful in live is do what you love the most and do it best. Either full time or half time in school or full time working in the farm. Just follow your heart, in the end you will be just fine.
Always finish your education when you can. I did a postgraduate diploma in a completely different subject much later in life, I was certainly more focussed but it was hugely stressful on top of my work and domestic commitments. We aren't going to disappear. Thanks for the video updates :-)
GET YOUR DEGREE AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!!! Having it gives you many more options for the future. From personal family experience, it is very hard to go back and finish a degree when you take a break. Best wishes! I really enjoy your channel!
Definitely never seen one of those rigs before! I guess because most of the farms that have irrigation around here are turf grass fields and you definitely dont wanna tear up the turf grass! Lol oh and God job parking! Lol praying the Lord will lead you in what to do!
Great video again Laura, concentrate on your studies and put up videos when you can, don't forget your also planning a wedding, don't burn yourself out, stay safe and happy 😊
I never clicked so fast in my life, now to watch......... Edit: Laura, Concentrate on school. May not seam important at the moment but it is huge and if you do not finish it will be a huge regret. Laura Farms will not be here forever unfortunately, but your schooling will be. As for us, We will be here for when you get back. Do not get so caught up in this filming and forget your real life. Grant, School and your farm. That is what is important.
This comment here is so right. I took the easy way out and skipped stuff in school due to the fact that i knew i already had an job. I ended up disliking the job after awhile and left it. Now 10 years later im regreting the fact that i didn't finish the last bit in school. Wouldve made it easier for me now if only i had sucked it up and just finish. Anyways its your life and you have to decide yourself. But my advice is stay in school! Btw nice videos!
@@Yolt1337 I can personally second this as well. Took me 7 years to get my degree, and it was so tempting to just get on with life. However now I passed a month ago or so I am so happy it's over with. Weight off my shoulders, and I can proudly look back and say I've done it. And I never have to think about it again. Big relief for me.
@Homelander Not finishing a degree you're almost done with and only have a semester or 2 left of , now THAT is a waste of money... Thats like training for years to run.a marathon, paying the entry fee, participating and quitting the last mile.
Someone I know was very close to a degree, but dropped out for a supposedly good reason. He then worked for over 50+years doing the same type of work as his degree. He got the experience ,and was good at it. But without the degree, He could not get the job title or the money. You be the judge.
Hey Laura. I'd like to see some of the general maintenance tasks you have to perform around the farm. It would also be neat to see what your attention is directed to during the winter. As far as school goes, do what works for you. I work in education, took a loooong time to finish a degree and think that not everyone MUST go to college. Plenty of great people, smart people, successful people did not earn a college degree; and they are still great, smart and successful. Should you choose to finish up online, that business degree may help with the side of farming we rarely see; doing the books and making sure there is enough money to keep the equipment running and the farm in business. Glad that you started to share with us your life as a farmer.
Another Q&A with you, Grant and your dad would be fun. Maybe a few live streams just sitting around and talking with Grant and your dad would be cool as well. I love the mail time segments as well so I hope they keep occurring in the videos.
Go ahead and get greasy with grant repairing, repainting, upgrading and updating all the farm equipment. Uhm, stay in school. Do not take time off. Thank me later because life happens during off time. I am still trying to go back to school 30 years after taking a semester off. Uhg!!!😎
Completely 100% correct, Jerry. Get the degree! Your hubby, family and your viewers will be there with you as you study and with you after you receive the degree.
With 2 semesters left, go for the degree! A college degree today, is about the equivalent of a high school diploma when I finished school in the dark ages. If you can finish online, that's great! Grant will help you with Laura Farms, I'm sure! We just finished cotton here in Alabama about 2 weeks ago! Nice crop this year. I enjoy your work, and look forward to more! Have I missed an update on the farm family who had their equipment vandalized by arsons? I saw the community harvest, thanks to all of y'all! I've worn my shirt proudly!
Another vote for finishing school!! I finished after having married... And I found the last two semesters while married were the BEST semesters! With Grant at your side and being young, you can keep it all going!
Study Study Study Never enough time to Study - Get your Degree - Also consider that after you graduate you will realize that there will be a course or two you wish you had taken. think about those interesting courses before you leave school. Put off the wedding 1 year. He will still love you next year
as a driver myself i know you get alot of time to think when your just sat there driving away, and sometimes this can be a bad thing as you talk yourself into doing the wrong thing and taking the easy way out. my advice to you Laura is to finish college and keep on doing youtube ( mental health pending ) back up qualifications are always a bonus. dont rush into full blown wifey mode just yet once your married. field work content is interesting but honestly i recon most of us are here for your personality not tractors and corn, so this winter do some QnA's, walk n talk vids, build snow men, a day in the life of college, cooking with laura series, top 5 pranks that seriously get up Grants nose, you get the gist. xo
Finish your degree. You are so close. You can see the finish line. You can do both but really focus on finishing school, even if it means we get less of Laura Farms. Laura Farms will be there when you finish!! Love your vids. Thank you!!
It's always fun to watch your videos on here but there will be much more time for videos in the future, focus on your school get that behind you, and congrats on your upcoming wedding, he surely a lucky guy to have you...
Laura you have a gift explaining crop production. Now apply that gift during the winter to explained the business side of the farm. Grant is an ag Econ major so this is right down his alley. Your viewers will be shocked by the $$ involved
A video around the planning in winter for a successful spring. And finish out the degree, two of my regrets are dropping my history minor and not immediately going into a masters all because I was "tired of school".
Ideas for video's during the winter... Equipment repair, "projects", what farmers really do in the winter (pretty sure they don't hibernate) and maybe sit down with your grandfather/mother around a nice fire and share stories about what it was like farming when they were kids (bit of living history)... for example: the great dust bowl may have been a bit before their time, but I'm sure they heard stories... how did their farms survive? For that matter, how do farms survive now... My mum always told me that the one thing no one can ever take from you is what's in your head... stay in school and finish, learn as much as you can... always... we'll be here with you.
You and future hubs should find a old farm truck or tractor that needs some love and rebuild it together over the winter! Love the channel. watching from Connecticut - Farmer from The Davis Farm in Pawcatuck Connecticut. Connecticut's oldest continuously operated farm, with Farm house having been built in 1654.
School school school first video when you can and the farm will be there but the bottom line is what you want, what does your gut tell you. Thanks for sharing
Perfect channel, your voice is really good, I tried before other channels about life farm but I had some difficulty to find someone with a good accent to understand I'm gonna watch all videos to improve my English 😁 from Brazil 🇧🇷
This was really entertaining and educational as usual. Sweet farm moments to enjoy. You asked for advice about your choices, college, etc. I would say, do it all at once, all irons in the fire, before you start a family 😉 When sweet babies come along, the whole dynamic will change ❤️ You and Grant are doing great! Let’s introduce your gorgeous siblings sometime. I think the world is ready 🥰
How about a video of what you are doing in re planning for next year’s growing season. How many acres of what, what kinds of seeds are you planning on using, trying different new hybrids, etc.
Definitely finish school before anything else. If you slow down or slack off it is very hard to keep going. Suggestions: Build a snowman, drive a snowmobile, frolic in the leaves, bake a pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving preparations/dinner, Christmas decorations, Q&A by the fire with the family, dad joke montage, learn a new skill, play an online game with your subscribers, or show us around town.
I don't know who controls whither a video has the closed caption available for it, but those of us who are hard of hearing sure appreciate it. Again, like the vids, and thank you !!!
One that is a massive tractor. Two....those are definitely not farming shoes. ;) also absolutely finish school, get it over with, and then focus on things closer to home.
Although you'll be back in the spring you have SO much momentum in Laura Farms that it would be a bummer to not keep content coming in the off season. At the same time finishing your degree is crucial so I would suggest both. It's hard work but that's what you do right? You work hard. The channel is monetized so keep some money coming in and all of us watching. In the winter show us equipment work, winterizing buildings, silos and rolling stock, procurement plans, what’s on the list for the spring, etc, etc. I’m sure dad has a long to do list getting ready for spring. What does that look like? Your channel is awesome. Thanks for the look into farming and the heartland of America! My thoughts for what they are worth. ;-)
Love the video's. I worked for a man in my hometown , farming, when I was in high school and college, this was back in the late 1970's and early 80's. Keep doing what your doing. Please post video of the wedding.
Laura, take care of your marriage and Grant first. Your education and farming can be a balancing act, but Grant and your marriage is first. After 51 years being married to the same wonderful beautiful woman I can speak with some experience, we have both worked hard, had good careers, faced some challenges together, raised a fine young daughter and now are watching a 14 yr. old grandson find his path through life. All of it has been TOGETHER. I wouldn't trade it for anything. ALL the BEST for YOU & GRANT as you journey through life. LEW
School first, Laura. It may not seem that important right now, but it is. Life's fast. Usually a "year off" becomes forever, not because people are bad or lazy, it's just the way the life goes. Don't quit it. Finish first, and then proceed to the next task.
I made a post to another post, but I'm going to make it again. I know someone who was just short of a degree, but stopped for a supposedly good reason. He worked for over 50+ years in the same field, but without the degree, He could not hold the title or get the money for the same work that He was doing. I don't remember what your degree will be, but think about it. Like your videos. Congrats and Best Wishes to you both. Love all Johnnys, especially the old 2 cylinders.
The most obvious suggestion in my mind is off season maintenance of equipment/tractors/implements,everything from oil changes to complete overhauls where needed. Other than that there is cleaning,organizing,ordering,and,playing in the snow with quads and sleds. Maybe start with maint/prep of those! And/or show us the new ones you get! I like the look you chose for this video Laura,like it alot. The "hollywood" look is fine for some places but in the shop or in the field it just doesn't set right. Mabeline and a few other companies probably hate me right about now but I'm honest. Edit- And pick the old man's(and Grampa's)brain for next year's plans.
I noticed that you have siblings are the old enough to work the machinery and when they do ,are they going to be committed as you are.your so talented to be as young as you are,how old are you ,getting married,going to college,building a farm,utube channel.etc impressive.😎😎👍👍
Do both, but definitely keep on growing the farm. That's your passion - both of you. And both of you are young, so there is no reason for you not to make this work! Don't get to the middle of your lives and realize that you are not doing what makes you happy, and then it is almost too late to change (I know, I am there!). If you can do what makes you happy for the rest of your life, you are set up for a pretty happy life!
School Laura school above all else finish get that's degree!!!! We will always be here to watch your post and keep updated and a great big thanks for sharing! Your smile always makes me smile and definitely makes my day better! Thanks again!!
You're so close to finishing school i would definitely say do that. Also, for content, an equipment tour of both farms would be interesting. I would include any equipment even if it's not used any longer. I still like seeing old school stuff too!
How about study in Winter in quite periods. Is that possible. And, for content, what maintenance and set up schedule for planting, managing the farm and making sure (from past experiences) that you have done everything in the winter to set up for the planting season. Do you keep a spreadsheet for this or is it all in your head. More mail opening and more quad bike footage. List what went wrong and see if you can improve (preventative). What was wasted that could be improved. Are the sprinklers clear for water flow etc. Film trips into town.
With me getting my farming education through Laura Farms U would love to hear and see some of the winter tasks, also what type of planning goes on in the winter getting ready for the next growing season. It's all fascinating to me. Let's GOOOO 100k before Thanksgiving!!
Would love some content like what you'd find over at "Harry's Farm;" more intricate descriptions of how the machines work, what the animals are up to, what the crop progress/yield is, various problem solving escapades, etc. Otherwise the content is quite phenomenal and hugely refreshing.
Well it's been my experience that you should definitely concentrate on your efforts on the thing you're going to do for the long term. So it would be my advice to focus on the farm and your future there and your life with your soon to be husband. Farming is hectic enough as it is, to add on school and that bonding time in your honeymoon stage is going to be very taxing on both of you. The first 2 years of a marriage is the absolute most important time for building that bond and relationships with each other. There ya have it lol from an old ranch hand to a young farm girl that is my advice. God bless you and God bless your coming wedding and marriage. God bless the rest of your family as well. Great videos as always.
Laura successful farmersl can`t afford to be indecisive. if all else fails get advise from your dad and other farmers . you have to decide what to do and STICK WITH IT COME HELL OR HIGH water its the only way to finish on top. when you are married remember that children do mix with farming If they come along. where as they might not with other careeres what ever you do stick with it and give it your all full steam ahead I`ll be rooting for you all the way and hope to see you planting your own corn and beans in the spring. it will be here in no time at all.
Finish school first!! You're so close and you WILL regret it later if you don't. Your brand is getting established and will continue to do so. Your life is like the crops you grow. Plant the seed, feed it, nourish it and the crop (life) you have will grow in to an amazing thing. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! .....Chris
Im retired, my experience says get done with school requirements first it will make your next step in life a clean one, free of loose ends. i would love to know more of your earlier history, what experiences help lead you to choose this path. Alan
winter-time was mostly for the repair jobs that couldn't be done any other time... new canvasses on the swather? winter job... rings & bearings on the bucket tractor? 'quickie' winter job.
Finish school. Get a degree in anything. No one can take that away. Trust me. I let work take priority thinking I'll finish later. It never happens. I regret it. Love your smile and happiness. Keep spreading that.
Hai Laura, I love your channel and am always happy to watch it, but when it comes to school and videos, I would definatly say "finish your education". I agreen with the others, winter maintanance and Q&A will be nice. Greetings from a Dutchmen;)
I'm a student myself now, and from my perspective you should finnish school work first. Keep the best for the last and make sure not to have to go back to your school work after a period of freedom. UA-cam will grow as long as you keep yourself and I would give it the full attention as soon as your study is finished. Good luck with the 'laatste loodjes' of school as we would call them in Dutch ;)
I want a tractor just like this one ! Now I have to figure out how to park it inside of my apartment here in Cincinnati. Finish school Laura just in case the tractor gets a flat tire.
See, Laura Farms (as good as it is) could be over in just one breath. But having a degree can never be over. I would always prioritize three things: love, health and school. Everything else is secondary.
Grant's got it easy moving dirt. Try moving dirt back to the top of a vineyard hill in the Mosel valley of Germany. Get your degree. Then get an MBA. You can never be to smart.
Hi Laura. Don't walk away from educational opportunities at this point of your life Our brains absorb more intelligence when we are young and education is something that no one can take from you. Stay in school! Joe
Finish school now. I took time off after two years and joined the Navy. Got my AS in Computer Controllers and Programming, paid for by Uncle Sam, but still wish I would have finished my BA back when I was younger and didn't have all the responsibilities of full on adulthood (Wife, Kids, Job as well as all the other things). It is always doable to go back, but it gets harder the longer you put it off.
I hope you're putting that dirt that you're scraping up in lowline areas of your farm and build it up to where it doesn't flood that's the best thing to do
Finish school :) barrel right on through... Make sure though you guys take a nice Honeymoon. Since it'll be December maybe head toward some sunshine or if you guys like winter sports go skiing. Work will always be there so set it aside. Carve out time to explore something totally new and different together as a husband/wife. :)
Winter maintenance and repairs of the farm equipment would be cool to see! Knock school out first, then focus on your brand!✌️😷
Finish your school work. You will have it done and wont regret it. You Go!!! Good luck with the wedding!!
I agree with all the rest. Stay in school. You’ll never regret it. There’s a time for everything, and now is the time for school. Love your channel and content. Keep what you’re doing coming as best as possible. We’ll all survive with whatever content you are able to come out with.
Degree, degree, degree! Don't lose sight of your goal. I have several friends (I'm now 73) who took a semester or year off. The year off turned into decades off and they wish that they had somehow 'toughed it out' and finished the degree.
i would defenetely do school because in my opinion its always a good thing to have a graduation in the back.
But if you don't need a degree to farm so why waste the money
That's how I see it
You're so close, finish school! It is so much harder to finish later.
I'd suggest finishing your degree first. Laura Farms is not going away and it's very easy to postphone the degree forever beyond that. As there will always be something more important etc. UA-cam is a complete time sink.
Hence, tackeling the degree first puts that out of your way.
finish school and be done
with "GOOOOO GIRLLLLLLL"
Videos of just hanging around the shop in the winter are great!.. cleaning stuff, greasing stuff... fixing stuff... I bet your Father never really slows down too much...and the content with him is awesome!.... give him a camera, you go get that degree !...and that farm will STILL be farming when you graduate....focus on that diploma, and get your dad a camera!... you asked.... that's my answer ..God Bless you ...

The preponderance of folks are coaching you to finish school. Couldn't agree more!!

Love the chillax track in the background with the scenery. Solid video!
Finish school! And as a tractor owner, any vids about maintenance on the equipment is always valuable. Great vids.
GET YOUR DEGREE AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!!! Having it gives you many more options for the future. From personal family experience, it is very hard to go back and finish a degree when you take a break. Best wishes! I really enjoy your channel!

I thank you for sharing. Knowing young people like you still exist give me hope for the future of our Country
Great video again Laura, concentrate on your studies and put up videos when you can, don't forget your also planning a wedding, don't burn yourself out, stay safe and happy 😊
Kelvin
Hello hope you are doing great
You all have some strange tillage equipment out there, 2 things I remember the wind & sand burs!
I never clicked so fast in my life, now to watch.........

You can do any combo you like that includes the school!

Add Moms and Grammas,get the generations all in on it.
No, we'd rather see equipment and farming content.
Go ahead and get greasy with grant repairing, repainting, upgrading and updating all the farm equipment.
Uhm, stay in school. Do not take time off. Thank me later because life happens during off time. I am still trying to go back to school 30 years after taking a semester off. Uhg!!!😎
Completely 100% correct, Jerry. Get the degree! Your hubby, family and your viewers will be there with you as you study and with you after you receive the degree.
Great idea-- Might as well get to know the machines :)

No no she is her on boss

I finished after having married... And I found the last two semesters while married were the BEST semesters!
With Grant at your side and being young, you can keep it all going!
Study Study Study Never enough time to Study - Get your Degree - Also consider that after you graduate you will realize that there will be a course or two you wish you had taken. think about those interesting courses before you leave school.

Laura - Finish the degree while you have momentum. Speaking from experience here.
As much as I would miss your UA-cam finish school! Tje farm will always be there and so will your fans.
as a driver myself i know you get alot of time to think when your just sat there driving away, and sometimes this can be a bad thing as you talk yourself into doing the wrong thing and taking the easy way out. my advice to you Laura is to finish college and keep on doing youtube ( mental health pending ) back up qualifications are always a bonus. dont rush into full blown wifey mode just yet once your married.
field work content is interesting but honestly i recon most of us are here for your personality not tractors and corn, so this winter do some QnA's, walk n talk vids, build snow men, a day in the life of college, cooking with laura series, top 5 pranks that seriously get up Grants nose, you get the gist. xo
Finish your degree. You are so close. You can see the finish line. You can do both but really focus on finishing school, even if it means we get less of Laura Farms. Laura Farms will be there when you finish!! Love your vids. Thank you!!
so great to see female posters out there into farming posting farm videos thanks very I enjoy your channel.
More q and a’s and vlogs and snowmobile videos in the winter on top of the little farm work videos
It's always fun to watch your videos on here but there will be much more time for videos in the future, focus on your school get that behind you, and congrats on your upcoming wedding, he surely a lucky guy to have you...

I'd like to see what maintenance you family does on the equipment over the winter to prepare for the next planting season.
I don't know who controls whither a video has the closed caption available for it, but those of us who are hard of hearing sure appreciate it. Again, like the vids, and thank you !!!
I hope your having a nice day! Wearing one of your Support Your Farmers t-shirt today. Received it in the mail yesterday! Thank you Laura
One that is a massive tractor. Two....those are definitely not farming shoes. ;) also absolutely finish school, get it over with, and then focus on things closer to home.
Although you'll be back in the spring you have SO much momentum in Laura Farms that it would be a bummer to not keep content coming in the off season. At the same time finishing your degree is crucial so I would suggest both. It's hard work but that's what you do right? You work hard. The channel is monetized so keep some money coming in and all of us watching. In the winter show us equipment work, winterizing buildings, silos and rolling stock, procurement plans, what’s on the list for the spring, etc, etc. I’m sure dad has a long to do list getting ready for spring. What does that look like? Your channel is awesome. Thanks for the look into farming and the heartland of America! My thoughts for what they are worth. ;-)
Wow that tractor looks and sounds amazing! 😍😍 lol you could say it was a game of chicken with how close can you get to grants truck 😂😂😂
Love the video's. I worked for a man in my hometown , farming, when I was in high school and college, this was back in the late 1970's and early 80's. Keep doing what your doing. Please post video of the wedding.
Laura, take care of your marriage and Grant first. Your education and farming can be a balancing act, but Grant and your marriage is first. After 51 years being married to the same wonderful beautiful woman I can speak with some experience, we have both worked hard, had good careers, faced some challenges together, raised a fine young daughter and now are watching a 14 yr. old grandson find his path through life. All of it has been TOGETHER. I wouldn't trade it for anything. ALL the BEST for YOU & GRANT as you journey through life. LEW
Hi Laura! Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe Stay connected. 🤝👍🏼✅
School first, Laura. It may not seem that important right now, but it is. Life's fast. Usually a "year off" becomes forever, not because people are bad or lazy, it's just the way the life goes. Don't quit it. Finish first, and then proceed to the next task.
Finish School! No exception. And think of all you've done and all the time you've worked. Do not throw that away!
I made a post to another post, but I'm going to make it again. I know someone who was just short of a degree, but stopped for a supposedly good reason. He worked for over 50+ years in the same field, but without the degree, He could not hold the title or get the money for the same work that He was doing. I don't remember what your degree will be, but think about it. Like your videos. Congrats and Best Wishes to you both. Love all Johnnys, especially the old 2 cylinders.
The most obvious suggestion in my mind is off season maintenance of equipment/tractors/implements,everything from oil changes to complete overhauls where needed. Other than that there is cleaning,organizing,ordering,and,playing in the snow with quads and sleds. Maybe start with maint/prep of those! And/or show us the new ones you get!
I like the look you chose for this video Laura,like it alot. The "hollywood" look is fine for some places but in the shop or in the field it just doesn't set right. Mabeline and a few other companies probably hate me right about now but I'm honest.
Edit- And pick the old man's(and Grampa's)brain for next year's plans.
Suggestion for wintertime videos: A look at the livestock side of the business.
I noticed that you have siblings are the old enough to work the machinery and when they do ,are they going to be committed as you are.your so talented to be as young as you are,how old are you ,getting married,going to college,building a farm,utube channel.etc impressive.😎😎👍👍
And school and Laurafarms would be great, but school comes first!! Do whatever floats your boat!!
finish the school....... finish the school....You almost there! Nice tractor! OH< 9.20, buy a lottery ticket you lucky girl!!!!
Do both, but definitely keep on growing the farm. That's your passion - both of you. And both of you are young, so there is no reason for you not to make this work! Don't get to the middle of your lives and realize that you are not doing what makes you happy, and then it is almost too late to change (I know, I am there!). If you can do what makes you happy for the rest of your life, you are set up for a pretty happy life!
Finish it up Laura ! I did, and it helped me out ! Keep up the great work !!
Always school first. Well watch whatever you do.
School Laura school above all else finish get that's degree!!!! We will always be here to watch your post and keep updated and a great big thanks for sharing! Your smile always makes me smile and definitely makes my day better! Thanks again!!
YOUR ALMOST DONE!!! GET THAT DEGREE!
Finish school first. That is most important. Take care and have a great week.
You're so close to finishing school i would definitely say do that. Also, for content, an equipment tour of both farms would be interesting. I would include any equipment even if it's not used any longer. I still like seeing old school stuff too!
Jon
Hello hope you are doing great
How about study in Winter in quite periods. Is that possible. And, for content, what maintenance and set up schedule for planting, managing the farm and making sure (from past experiences) that you have done everything in the winter to set up for the planting season. Do you keep a spreadsheet for this or is it all in your head. More mail opening and more quad bike footage. List what went wrong and see if you can improve (preventative). What was wasted that could be improved. Are the sprinklers clear for water flow etc. Film trips into town.
School and when u have the time some vids. Take care of u.
With me getting my farming education through Laura Farms U would love to hear and see some of the winter tasks, also what type of planning goes on in the winter getting ready for the next growing season. It's all fascinating to me. Let's GOOOO 100k before Thanksgiving!!
Would love some content like what you'd find over at "Harry's Farm;" more intricate descriptions of how the machines work, what the animals are up to, what the crop progress/yield is, various problem solving escapades, etc. Otherwise the content is quite phenomenal and hugely refreshing.
Well it's been my experience that you should definitely concentrate on your efforts on the thing you're going to do for the long term. So it would be my advice to focus on the farm and your future there and your life with your soon to be husband. Farming is hectic enough as it is, to add on school and that bonding time in your honeymoon stage is going to be very taxing on both of you. The first 2 years of a marriage is the absolute most important time for building that bond and relationships with each other. There ya have it lol from an old ranch hand to a young farm girl that is my advice. God bless you and God bless your coming wedding and marriage. God bless the rest of your family as well. Great videos as always.
If there are any other farms around you that grow something else and that you can give a tour of, it would be interesting to see.
Laura successful farmersl can`t afford to be indecisive. if all else fails get advise from your dad and other farmers . you have to decide what to do and STICK WITH IT COME HELL OR HIGH water its the only way to finish on top. when you are married remember that children do mix with farming If they come along. where as they might not with other careeres what ever you do stick with it and give it your all full steam ahead I`ll be rooting for you all the way and hope to see you planting your own corn and beans in the spring. it will be here in no time at all.
Finish school first!! You're so close and you WILL regret it later if you don't. Your brand is getting established and will continue to do so. Your life is like the crops you grow. Plant the seed, feed it, nourish it and the crop (life) you have will grow in to an amazing thing. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! .....Chris
Im retired, my experience says get done with school requirements first it will make your next step in life a clean one, free of loose ends. i would love to know more of your earlier history, what experiences help lead you to choose this path. Alan
winter-time was mostly for the repair jobs that couldn't be done any other time... new canvasses on the swather? winter job... rings & bearings on the bucket tractor? 'quickie' winter job.
You can do tours of the town and surrounding towns and do interviews with other farmers, tours of their farms.
Finish school. Get a degree in anything. No one can take that away. Trust me. I let work take priority thinking I'll finish later. It never happens. I regret it. Love your smile and happiness. Keep spreading that.
Video suggestions: Shop Time with Grant Wilson, Hang-out with Grant Wilson, Play Day with Grant Wilson featuring Cal Carlson! Lol😂
Hai Laura, I love your channel and am always happy to watch it, but when it comes to school and videos, I would definatly say "finish your education".
I agreen with the others, winter maintanance and Q&A will be nice.
Greetings from a Dutchmen;)
I'm a student myself now, and from my perspective you should finnish school work first. Keep the best for the last and make sure not to have to go back to your school work after a period of freedom. UA-cam will grow as long as you keep yourself and I would give it the full attention as soon as your study is finished.
Good luck with the 'laatste loodjes' of school as we would call them in Dutch ;)
#Frans : leer ze daar nou geen slecht Nederlands: "... laaTste loodjes ...". Maar verder ben ik het helemaal absoluut met je eens !
I want a tractor just like this one ! Now I have to figure out how to park it inside of my apartment here in Cincinnati. Finish school Laura just in case the tractor gets a flat tire.
Do you guys ever harvest corn in winter? It is sometimes done here in ON when market prices are low. It saves a lot of drying energy as well.
finish your school! it will help you learn new other stuff as it comes out. I had the same doubts in 1970!!!
See, Laura Farms (as good as it is) could be over in just one breath. But having a degree can never be over. I would always prioritize three things: love, health and school. Everything else is secondary.
Grant's got it easy moving dirt. Try moving dirt back to the top of a vineyard hill in the Mosel valley of Germany.
Get your degree. Then get an MBA. You can never be to smart.
Hi Laura. Don't walk away from educational opportunities at this point of your life Our brains absorb more intelligence when we are young and education is something that no one can take from you. Stay in school! Joe
Great video!!!
I would do whatever your gut tells you todo😁
Finish school now. I took time off after two years and joined the Navy. Got my AS in Computer Controllers and Programming, paid for by Uncle Sam, but still wish I would have finished my BA back when I was younger and didn't have all the responsibilities of full on adulthood (Wife, Kids, Job as well as all the other things). It is always doable to go back, but it gets harder the longer you put it off.
I hope you're putting that dirt that you're scraping up in lowline areas of your farm and build it up to where it doesn't flood that's the best thing to do
Finish school :) barrel right on through...
Make sure though you guys take a nice Honeymoon. Since it'll be December maybe head toward some sunshine or if you guys like winter sports go skiing. Work will always be there so set it aside. Carve out time to explore something totally new and different together as a husband/wife. :)
Finish your school!!!! Video what you can, we will be here.
Video topic: history of your farm w parents / grandparents.
