Farmers and ranchers are too busy to waste time fretting over stupid shit.

You probably have a first aid kit in the tractor. My addition to that would be a roll of Vet Wrap. VR and a few assorted gauze pads and you can bandage anything from a finger to a leg or your head. It is also a stretchy, tough, self-sticking wrap that with imagination can rival duct tape.

Laura, I know you are earning your living the best way you could think of, with that, you are helping to feed a Country if not the World. It would be nice if other people from other walks of the planet, would take the time to realize that! You guys are "Backbone" people! Thanks

I wish everyone knew what it is like to have good parents!

Is there ever a moment that you do not multitask? My brain would probably explode trying to remember every screen, button, lever, shift, and moving part of your tractor and planter! Wow 🤩 You are absolutely amazing! You really give my day a great start with your beaming smile and excellent attitude ❤️😊I love ❤️ you forever, Grammy

@@joefudd thank you so much. I am crazy about all of them 🥰

Back when I was a volunteer bush firefighter I would always carry extra socks and small towels, a lesson I learned after a long cold night on the fire ground in soaking wet socks, my feet went so gross that I couldn’t walk for a week, always carry extra socks and a towel to dry your feet

Whoa, talk about multi-trasking! Remember that in addition to all the planting tasks that Laura is doing... she is also making a video. A really good video. I am impressed!

I keep a small bucket with a lid in the sprayer, two tractors with these items. Flashlight, magnetic flasher, first aid kit, kleenex, clean rags, several small trash bags, roll of gorilla tape, coil of wire, 3 bungee straps,leather gloves, disposable gloves, sharpie marker, two pencils, two pins, small note pad, unopened bottle of water for emergency flush of skin or eyes, safety goggles, couple pkgs ear plugs, small umbrella (sounds crazy but it has saved one or both of us from heat stroke when working on broken down equipment. my John thought I was crazy one day when the heat index was 110 and it took us two hours in sourcing sun to fix the planter) plot book, zip ties in different lengths, pliers, flat & phillips screw driver, 2 sizes of hitch pins (as never right one in tool box) tire gage, valve stem caps, two small 2x4 blocks and lastly a bottle neck jack. This fits nicely between the cab seat and buddy seat on the floor. Then in my arm console I carry chapstick, kleenex pkg, granola bar's, peppermint altoids (stick under tounge when sleepy wow) laminated list of farm field addresses and emergency family members number's (sadly that has helped) phone charger small note pad and sharpie marker, laminated list of hook up hydrolics for each implement incase i have to hook up on my own i get it right. We travel a 60 mile radius to farm and I also stock my tool box. I keep a tight inventory on this so needs hopefully can be meet. John used to roll his eye's and grunt until he needed something and we were 40 miles away from the shop when i pulled out the bucket. Now it's a thank you and tells me when he uses something.

59 year old Floridian here. That landscape is other worldly to me. I had no idea how much work farming is till I started following you and your dad. You do a great job with these videos. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for feeding America. You know whatever capacity it is. I'm sure something I consumed this week had soy beans in some way or another. Lol. I love your smile. It's contagious.

I'm a pilot for a children's hospital so my flight nurses carry stuffed animals for our patients,for myself beef jerky in my pocket of my flight suit while the flight nurses usually have dehydrated fruit that's about all we carry besides the precious cargo.

I always have a pocket knife and an LED penlight. And thank you for taking us along on your ride!

Definitely need to carry a first aid kit. I have ‘‘em in every car and in my backpack when I go for a hike or a bike ride.

I agree. Build a FAK for the types of injuries you'd expect to have with large equipment, moving parts, and pinch points. So broken fingers, hand injuries, bleeding events, etc. Splints, tourniquets, and bandages to buy yourself or someone else much needed time.

in the EU, a first aid package is mandatory in tractors, cars and work machines, so the police can ask for it if they stop you on the road

Thank you so much for the ride young lady. God Bless.

You can never go wrong with a super-bright hand held flashlight. Even in broad daylight, when you're under a machine or something and need to see in a dark corner, doing repairs or looking for a clog or something. 2,000 lumens or better. Monster flashlight has some really great options

Get a cheap chinese diving torch. Rainproof, sealed so won't spark and ignite gasoline or anhydrous. Uses 18650 batteries - just keep some spares charged. (Mine's been down to 165 feet, but is far more used on the surface)

Something else that I used to use for ice packs was bottles of water, then as they melt you have cold water to drink. I'd put a whole case of water in the freezer and take them as I needed them. I also carried a Leatherman Wave on my belt instead of pilers, they weren't quite as strong, but they had many more uses. Leatherman also stands behind the warranty as I had to have them fixed a couple of times. As a crane operator for 25 years, I know what it's like living in a cab all the time.

Hi Laura, i love watching you farming, with your great enthusiasm. I hope you have a good summer! Greetings from The Netherlands, Martijn

You are a beautiful young lady that has wonderful farming skills and seems to enjoy what you do. God bless you and Grant.

Thank You So Much For Letting Us Follow Along Laura!! I wouldn't Want It Any Other Way As To Follow Along!! It Is Almost Like Being There In Person!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊

It so wild you can do a complete demonstration of everything and not even worry about where the tractor is going !

if you guys use a lot of the disinfectant wipes in those cylinder tubes with the pop tops, if you trim back the fingers that hold the cloths and then stick a bag down in them they make great little vehicle trash cans.

... I am so impressed with what you take on ... A little vitamin D and a snack bag and Laura's smiling the entire day ... there are very few like you ..

Hi Laura, greetings from Germany. I only watch your videos because you are rediating good vibes thru the screen. Love it. Best of Luck for the planting season.

With your esky food box have you thought about putting thin foam (coolite sheeting) on the sides and bottom? You can wrap them in towels or make socks as to not damage the foam pieces.

The one thing Laura caries with her everywhere without a doubt is.... HER SMILE

The totality of your farming knowledge in just three short years is amazing. You can get in there and mix it up with the best of the guys. Just don't let Grant post a clip of him applying makeup though. He sure adds a nice touch to the videos.

Laura, years ago I obtained a couple of the reflective car window shades. A friend sewed them into a shape to fit around my cooler. This alone extended the life of ice by about three days. My suggestion is to do the same for your bag and sew the reflective stuff all the way around but especially on the bottom. You can also add a bit of Styrofoam to the bottom and lower sides, then cover it with the reflective stuff. You can also make a box, insert Styrofoam along the bottom and sides, then drop your carrybag into the insulated box. (I have a box from Omaha Steaks which works great for things like this). If you have a 12 v outlet, buy an electric fridge unit like the ones many 4x4 clubs use. They work really well and are easily moved from tractor to tractor or truck. I saw you working very hard to ratchet the nuts off your "wheels". I bought an electric battery powered impact wrench last year and have found it works extremely well for quickly removing nuts & bolts. You should have a general purpose (GP) tool bag with enough tools to handle small tasks like the one you needed to do on the feeder. If you don't have the tools, you'll have to wait while someone comes out to where you are planting or working to bring the tools to you. Save time. The impact wrench should be one of your favorite tools since it saves time. I'm not a farmer but both my parents, my grandparents on both sides, as well as a lot of other relatives. They farmed in the Sand Hill area between Benkelman and McCook to Haigler. Myself, I worked in business. Only one brother worked in Agriculture, and he had a cattle ranch in Colorado.

Ok, now I'm truly impressed. Only the best farmers can carry on an intelligent conversation while turning the tractor around in the field as well as pushing buttons, flipping switches, head on a swivel, monitoring all the software and not even break a sweat. You are smoooooth, not to mention you can apply makeup while planting.

And this is the trailer that I tow behind the planter. It keeps my selection of snacks with me at all times! Lol

Great to see you planting this years crops . Have a great day 😀.

I pack a half-gallon bottle of frozen water in a flexible cooler with sandwiches, snacks. It keeps the other foods cold during the day and as it defrosts, it offers a welcome swig of super cold water. On really hot days, I've been known to pour it over my head.

Just put one of those “blue ice” things that you keep in your freezer! It doesn’t make a mess and it keeps stuff cold. 👍😘

Excellent technique with the ratchet. You do a great job using what you have available to work with. You and Grant make a wonderful team. It's good to have family to work with. Love your videos.

I just love the enthusiasm that you always seem to exude Laura. A day that might not be going great suddenly becomes a wonderful, beautiful one. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart. Take care of each other, be safe and continue to thrill us as ou live life on your farm.

Hi Laura, I love your passion in what you do; reminds me of my summer jobs at a farm here in Texas. We didn’t have all that computer stuff back then and no cab on my John Deere. Someone else (sometimes me lol) would have to ride on the back to check on the planters and make sure seeds were being planted since the driver had no way of knowing. When seeds would get stuck, we’d have to stop to make necessary repairs or refill planters when they’d go empty. You’ve talked about windy days and sand blowing all over the place…well with no cab on tractor and sometimes riding on the back to check on planters, at the end of the day after 12 hours on the job, I’d have like 20 pounds of sand on my face and all over my body, so much so that you couldn’t recognize me …applying sunscreen lotion, which I’d usually do, made it worse lol 😂 Wished we’d had all the modern technology that is available today back then and things would’ve been much easier. Keep the videos coming… I really enjoy them. 🚜

A great "OG" Laura video! As a non-farmer I would love to have it explained why you are delaying ("double delay"?) planting the male seed and why you planted the male seed at the same time as the female seed in another field (in a previous video).

It looks like the wind finally died down a bit. That wind can create a tough environment to work in; about the same as rain. Kudos to Grant. He seems like a great guy and he always is right there to help out! They don't make them like that anymore. You got the last one. Thanks for the video.

I always have my Swiss army knife and my Gerber multi-tool. A small flashlight is always useful too

God bless the inventor of the ratchet! It has saved millions of hours of labor world wide.

It perks me up to watch your videos. So much energy and it is evident you enjoy what you do.

Hi Laura I have been up all night planting lupins in the southern mallee South Australia. It crazy how similar the content of your "Master Bag" is to mine. I used to have an insulated bag then we got an ex demo model JD with a fridge under the instructor seat well in between the seats about the only other thing I carry is deep heat, deoderant spray and a whiteboard marker to write on my windows instead of a notepad. Thanks for keeping me awake its 2am Saturday morning and im finished woohoo! Time for bed. Hope your planting goes well.

It is great to keep hydrated, and I have been known to take on board 10 pints or more each day. However, others of my age (male well over 70) will confirm, being stuck in the fields, can become a personal issue, so good luck and always take care, farming uses dangerous equipment. You really are one resourceful farmer, ready to deal problems that get thrown up, a credit to your family and your personal values, since you do it all with a smile plus good grace.

God Bless Grant and Laura !!! Best farm show on the tube !!!! Oh yeah..GO BIG GREEN !!!

Great videos. Thanks for showing us your farmings operation. You guys make a wonderful team. Good luck this season.

Another great video...have a great day Laura...n hopefully a great harvest...💕💕💕

Always enjoy a visit with you and Grant. I Carrie in my bag a small adjustable wrench and a tube of antibiotic cream. Enjoy the planting

I am from South Africa and something I can't live without is biltong. if you've heard of it, great if you haven't then it is cured dried meat, almost like jerky except not cooked and much better. if you can find some where near to you it is a must have snack and I think you will really enjoy it

Hey Laura, another enjoyable video, always like seeing your father in your videos as he always seems to bring a little fun and humor ...

Holy Moly ! You are set for a long day of 160 acres. Best of luck to you and Grant and you Dad and Mom on a good year of planting, spraying, harvesting and all the cattle work. Blessings upon you!

I love watching you guys! Nothing Runs Like A Deer! Thanks for sharing!

Laura you are the sweetest and the Cutest little farmer girl a guy could ever look forward to watching on KZread you make my heart sing

Thanks, Laura got another great video! Good to see you in the field again planting!

Couple of things I'm never without in equipment.......a few well planned tools, zip ties, duct tape, small (but mighty!) flashlight. and a homemade first aid kit with plenty of eye wash and a towel.

Great video. Be safe and thanks for sharing with us. We are wet in central Indiana. Some corn in I think more beans in. Finely next week looks great

Laura, Love your videos! With your Dad and Grant making appearances makes them even more family oriented. I have had really good luck with the RTIC Day Coolers I carry a 28 can and it keeps things cold almost all day.

You are an amazing multi-tasker. I was thinking that you might have enough food for a week. 😊 We enjoy you videos. Have a great Spring. My farming relatives are finding that the soil temperature in Saskatchewan is still a bit cool. Drought is also a problem. Take care.

I get inspired every time I see your video. Thanks for what you do for God Family and Country.

Hey Laura, You were asking what you are missing in tractor EDC ( every day carry ) I did not see a fire extinguisher. Dang what a pit crew. I do have one Question are you planning as much this year as you did last year ? It is very relaxing looking out the back window of a tractor, I see one reason why you became a farmer. Well I'LL let you get back at it . / Peace

You guys cover so much wide open territory that you might want to consider carrying a small pair of binoculars. Also - do you have a fire extingusher in the cab? If not I'd get one. Great to see you planting!

Laura, seeing you on the JD 8345 R has really motivated me to get my JD E110 out and get to work. Sun just went down but it's sure to rise at O dark thirty in the morning. Thanks for Sharing!

Thank YOU for letting us follow along 👍🏻🦋👍🏻

Laura you are becoming a pro. Thanks for the cooler bag rundown as well

Morning 8:29 here in Arkansas the planting looks like it’s going good

Watching from New Zealand and loving your channel as always!🇳🇿👍🏻💖

Always great to watch your channel you have come a long way in this channel and farming

Your parents raised some nice, ambitious, hard working children. It's good to see the next generation with solid morals, values and ethics. Please thank your elders.

RTIC makes a very nice soft side cooler. Works very well. I use mine for hunting trips and it keeps ice for days.

I have an Rtic backpack cooler. It has two side pockets and a big front pocket. I love it and would never choose any other cooler. I work in construction so you can only imagine the abuse it goes through. i have a 4 pound ice pack at the bottom and it stays cool on a 12 plus hour day. There are 2 different sizes to choose from also. Good luck in your searches and keep up the awesome work. Love the videos!!!!

yes its brilliant to see her in control

Great job Laura and dad thank you Grant thanks for food and how to cleaners great video Laura

Hi Laura, from Romania, the same cups happened to me or it was blocked due to the bearings, continue with the vlogs you have just as much success and no strong wind ♥️♥️

Hi Laura, Yeti soft coolers are to go to for us. A more expensive option but they don’t leak, are cold at end of the day with only a blue ice block or two and you’ll have it for years. Keep up the great work!

That's interesting to me how you do your planting. I'm not a farmer, I'm a truck driver. But I pass fields in the Midwest all the time and see work being done but to see the operation is pretty cool.

I love your video's . I would make sure to have a first aid /trauma kit. Boo-boos happen all the time and having basic band-aids is helpful, , but being able to take care of something major until better trained help arrives could be life changing.

Lol you have more in that bag that I have in my apartment! Love your channel for couple years...congratulations on your success!!

You can always reuse your HelloFresh Mylar bags(silver bubble wrap bags) to double line your cooler bag.

as for a cooler i use a Cooler Backpack the one i use is a Carhartt 2-in-1 Insulated Cooler Backpack(for when i go hiking and when i have to drive a lot for work) you might find a different once that works better for you since its really individually what works.

I would recommend a small tool box. Tools are of what you think you might need on a regular basis.

Be safe, fare well, live life....and thank you for showing folks the real ag world !!!!!

Thank you so much another informative interesting video. I look forward to every upload.

Thanks for the content Laura. On to the next one.

Hi Laura! Say hi to "The Grant" for me! Glad you had such nice weather to plant! Even minor technical difficulties didn't slow ya'all down much. Cheers from Texas!

After seeing the prices of food going up in the stores, I hope this translates into a higher profits for producers. Fuel, fertilizer and parts have gone up ridiculously. Consumers need to pay a fair price to keep farmers profitable.

Your bag should be covered by something loose to keep the radiant sun off it. You could try your sweatshirt when you take it off. Something loose, darkening, but light exterior cloth, that doesn’t absorb a lot of heat and air can flow to keep that heat from conducting efficiently to the bag exterior. A loose covering would also slow warm air getting in if you leave it unzipped for convenience.

Laura, you asked if you have missed bringing something with you! I was going to say “the kitchen sink” (Only joking) Thanks Laura, I really enjoy watching your videos. Looks like dad is assisting you these days.

Howdy from Texas ! Row cleaners ! Sometimes seems like everything goes at once. You mentioned lots of down pressure? Maybe you could rock the planter back with the top link just a little for just a hair less down pressure on the cleaners ? Not sure if you’re having bearing failures or it’s just time for them to go ! Best of luck and keep looking up !!
