Can We Finish This Big Job?

It took us longer than we planned, but we finished soybean harvest! (Apologies to the skunk we scared) The field we finished on was really green and stem-y, and we had some weed control issues is some spots that washed. I was really tempted to cut that footage out, but we really want to show you guys the real stuff that’s happening on our operation. Now, on to the exciting part: corn harvest!

Thank you to

They are harvesting cotton in my home state of Alabama. When I was a kid, 70 plus years ago, we harvested cotton by hand; pulling a seven or nine foot long sack behind us to stuff the cotton into as we pulled the locks off the boll. A very lengthy back breaking endeavor. The average amount of cotton that a good man could pick in a day would weigh about 210 to 250 pounds and a fully ginned bale of cotton would weigh about 500 pounds. The un-baled cotton would be about 1500 pounds give or take. Things are a lot different now with new technology and machinery.💪

Winter weather is dealing Nebraska a kick in the teeth. Tariffs also is not a farmers favorite word. Look forward to this challenging year. I have confidence you will pull out a victory.

You have a great operation Laura. It’s fun for us non-farmers to see your amazing success with everyone working so hard. We appreciate you and the entire family! Keep it rockin and keep the videos coming.

[daleyates]

I am 66 years old and love watching your videos please be safe and keep them coming

There is something so relaxing watching harvest equipment rolling.

Congratulations on finishing bean harvest.

I appreciate all the knowledge. I am 59, from GI and live in Lincoln. Your videos taught me about an industry I grew up near, but not actually a part of (save for detasseling 3 summers in the 70s, Peterson Farms). I never knew you blew off the stubble from the previous previous day. It makes sense, but not if you don't think about it.
Thanks again for teaching those of us not involved in farming what exactly that industry entails.

Been watching your videos for ages, but it just remains special what sort of fancy equipment there is. Designed to harvest at this scale. Imagine having to harvest that by hand 😮

[sterlingspencer]

You closed that ladder like a pro Laura, I remember when you first tried to figure the combinatio to getting the ladder up and down!

Hey Grant, Laura and Gage,
I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I'm loving every video you record. I watched the video where Grant bought Laura a tractor for Valentines Day and have been watching your channel ever since.
Great content. You make every video a pleasure to watch; even when you're recording stuff that's ordinary in nature but surprisingly, you turn the event into something spectacular!
I was a farmer for over 20 years in Eastern Montana, so I can relate to everything you're working toward and for.
God bless all of you, take care, and be safe.

Laura, I wave every time I go by. I am the guy who frequently has a canoe on the roof of my F150 headed to or from the Green or Colorado Rivers. "This is great. This is wonderful." Eau de Skunk. I have one that likes my house and visits every couple of weeks, , eye watering.

[johnensminger]

Looking good, Laura!
Thanks for sharing your life and taking us along for the ride!
Love the channel content!!

Modern farming is a great, an a hard Job, thankyou fore looking!

[Fonda-dx]

The production quality is getting really good with the drones, music, scene cuts and audio. Well done!

[davidhuffine]

I like watching the combine . It is all different than when I was young . The old machines could be driven down the road . I remember People having 10 corn heads . My dad had a two row corn picker . It got job done, But it took longer . Thanks for sharing, Laura . Seeya in the corn .

[DarrylSparlin]

I just love watching farm videos. Wish I could ride along in one of those big combines. Thanks for sharing. God bless our farmers.

[Mark-jpdz]

When it is really hot, fires on a corn field (or other dead vegetable matter) is not just a matter of rubbish on the combine getting caught in the machinery and friction causing a fire - although this is the main reason. However, when it is really hot, the cutter bar hitting a stone can cause a spark that will set the whole field on fire. In Australia, in certain areas, when it exceeds a certain temperature, harvesting has to stop due to the fire risk.

Almost sayng goodbye to 2023 growing year. Will miss the planting, fertilization and harvest, but with the end comes next year if we're all here. Love this channel and mouser Pepper.

[MikeLandis-hb]

Perhaps all the fields could be leveled before planting time, and save trouble with clogging problems in the combine? Maybe the wet crop would be dry like the rest of the field?

[gregrussell]

Wow. Nice job. I can tell by all three’s tone of voice that you get along well and work well as a team. This is interesting to watch.
