Only a farmer can be standing in a rain storm, drenched like a soggy kitten, with such a big happy smile on their face. It's young hard working happy people like you and Grant that gives us hope that the future will be ok. You guys are awesome.

Yeah only Farmers feel it. Here in East Germany its so cry, i wish we hat a little rain too. Seed in the soil need it so much.

I appreciate how you have a conversation with your viewers, as opposed to talking to or at them. No wonder you channel has grown so successfully. Well done. Congrats!

Standing out in. a downpour after a very hard humid day in the Deere cab. Your smile and joy says it all. Rain on those seeds that you just planted.

Laura you have the best and most beautiful smile in any weather condition or what ever you are doing at the farm

If Laura is planning in Kay’s field, and Cale is planting at Blue School, two pivots are in the way, the wind is blowing from all four directions, and they are in a Tornado Watch, how many acres will be done by evening? 🤯Ack!!!! Too much math! 😂 Laura casually stops, hops out of the cab, finds an assortment of sharp, dangerous glass & metals 😮then declares “God is watching out for me!” YES! This is what I’m talking about! Gratefulness for Family, Faith, Friends, and Farm Life! ❤️🙏😊 Laura, you are so blessed, and so are we, to count you as precious family ❤️❤️❤️

Nothing beats the smell of rain after a dry period.

this young lady is the reason why you get to eat every day. It folks like her that keep us americans in food. they dont get the credit they deserve. Thank you Laura and Grant

Enjoying standing in the rain getting soaked takes a person with wonderful priorities.

Beautifully put.

Laura, that thing you found with U-shape with about one half of the handle missing is an old wooden wheel wagon axle nut wrench. The farm I grew up on has been in the family for over 200 years and there were a couple those wrenches in the shed and my Grandfather told me what they were used for. I think my Dad donated them to a local history museum.

Agree ! also doubles as a pin in the hitch pin out to the horses

Your face was a perfect picture of joy as you decided that the initial planting of the particular corn with its special demands had everything work out as you needed. The pure joy of seeing someone enjoy their work and get so much excitement out of what they are doing lifts the spirits of us office chair watchers. Keep your sense of wonder and joy, let others see, how great it can be to know you have done your best.

1. Create a spreadsheet with all the formulas needed to calculate all the parameters for planting a certain product. 2. Save it to the cloud or your phone. 3. Get yourself Excel or Numbers on your phone. 4. Open said spreadsheet on your phone, plug in the numbers, and take the guesswork out of it.

would be surprised if there aren't already several apps special made for it, so you don't have to do all the work of making spreadsheets. Especially since a quick search shows all the major farming equipment manufacturers have apps to help you set up the machines, but I'm not a farmer so not sure what exactly to look for

From all the farmers videos that I tried to watch, I found Laura ‘s farm the most interesting, her enthusiasm, joy and happiness, how she introduced her is so unique, 🧡🖤

The object at 10:50 which you thought was some kind of pulley is actually a wheel that long part goes into the bottom of a bed frame so you had 4 per bed. Keep up the great work. I love your enthusiasm and joy for life. I'm sure a lot of that comes from above. :)

You are correct , They are called Caster wheels they're also on the bottom of dressers and table legs. The Caster is the offset so you can push the furniture around without it trying to go all different directions. It looks like the metal piece that you pound into the hole that you drill in the wood of the furniture is missing along with the ball bearing plate on the Wheel, that road on the bearing plate that had teeth on the opposite side that secured it in the leg so it wouldn't turn. The little ball on the end of the Caster shaft snapped into that up in the leg to keep it in place. That would usually be the first thing to wear out so when you lifted your furniture your Caster wheels would fall out. And there's your lesson today for furniture Mobility.

@@earlhollar1906. To add a 'little extra' to your excellent description of the 'caster', - by looking at 'Laura' holding it up. - If she can clean it up it should be, (the wheel), a brownish red colour and made of china - which dates it as being made in the middle to late 1800's. So Laura has found herself a 'little antique'.

What you found is an authentic old style tire popper. Great job Laura - each year you are showing so much growth.

The "tire popper" was a very necessary tool to the farmers that homesteaded your area. The shaft section would have been 10-12" long. The flat ears are the proper width to fit the large axle nut that held the wheels on thier wagons.

@@robertpappa5129 Wow, thank you for the explanation.

The item that was sticking out of the ground in front of your tire is off of a covered wagon. It served two purposes: 1) it was the pin that held the double tree to the tongue of the wagon; 2) it is the wrench to take the nut off of the wheel hub. A lot of wagon trains followed the Platte River, and then the North Platte River as they went west on the California and Oregon Trails.

It may not be as old as from a covered wagon. It was common on most horse drawn farm wagons. We had a wagon on our farm until about 1950.

The question about how many bags of seed are needed to finish. A bag of seed corn is sold as 80,000 kernels, which explains the odd or variable weight of a bag of seed corn. Also makes it easy to find the value or pricing because it isn’t always known what seed sizes are when ordering seed. In this scenario Laura was planting 32,000 seeds per acre, dividing that by 80,000 seeds per bag, makes 2.5 acres worth of seed per bag of seed corn.

Not only are you and your husband farmers, but archeologist; with all the historical items you find in the field. It's amazing as to what you come across.

That smile at the end! It’s been on the face of every generation who has worked that soil. The rest of us who aren’t farmers owe you a debt. You keep us fed.

one of the last few americans that actually cares about something that is actually important to this country, farmers rock! a good wholesome dose of down to earth reality

Laura, thanks for explaining things for us city folk (Cozad) Love your positivity, smile & your eyebrows LOL

Lol! Been ther, done that. Not for years now, but should probably do that again. When you're hot and sweaty and it's a soft cool rain . . . life's simple pleasures.

The wierd spikey thing is a wheel wrench used to tighten the the hub on wooden wagon wheels and also it had a double purpose to hold the double tree to the tongue of the wagon so that the horse harness could hook to the wagon so the horses could pull the wagon or what ever implement the farmer was pulling with horses. The pulley thing is a castor of a bed, dressser or some sort of furniture, used to roll the furniture.

Yeah it was a good day . Lots of seed in the ground and no flat tires and rain to boot and Grant had an excellent day too.

Gotta love those noisy Spring thunderstorms!

Hey Laura, the chief always says have you ever seen the rain. Nothing like a good rain!

Come to the Netherlands when you have the opportunity; It rains almost every day during autumn, winter and spring. Only mid summer will bring us longer periods of dry (nice) weather.

Thank you Laura for explaining your general public how the term dumb farmer does not apply to most of us farmers I really appreciate that!

You are just so darn cute. You remind me so much of my daughter but I can’t imagine her tackling all the things you are doing. Wishing you and the family the best in these crazy times. You keep up the great effort and you will be a great farmer like your dad and you will have the advantage of having millions of viewers watching your progress.

For several years, when I was young and growing up on a farm, we still harvested, even the commercial corn, on the cob. As you still do with the non-commercial corn you plant. We stored that corn over the winter in "corn cribs" where the corn would loose its extra moisture before we "shelled" it the next summer. It gave us piles of corn cobs that we could use for bedding the animals in the following winter. In any case, these corn cribs would have an open ally way in the middle to allow air to pass through to assist in drying the corn, with a nice roof on top to keep the rain out. There were few things more fulfilling to the senses and more relaxing and enjoyable than to stand in that ally way during a thunder storm and feel the cool breeze, the moist air and the smell of fresh rain, and to hear, see, and "feel" the incredible show in the sky of all that lightening. Pure JOY!

Good day, Laura and Grant plus everyone else!!!

Love Spending Time Riding with Laura In Tractor 🚜 Such A Bubbly Young Lady!! Keep Smiling On!! 😊👍👊

Good Job Laura!!!! Good day of planting! Grant glad your new setup is working well as well!!!!!

The A/C problem will probably be blocked leak off pipes that come out under the cab. They drain the excess moisture from the top of the cab and often get blocked with dust. You could try a thin pece of wire up them but we often put the compressor on them and blow. It can make a mess in the cab then!!

We in Phoenix, AZ Do the same thing. It has been soooo long in between rain, when it comes, a lot of people run and hide not to get wet. There are a few of us who will allow ourselves to get wet, in suits and ties, and CELEBRATE THE FALLING RAIN. It feels so good to feel the blessings FROM OUR LORD! Be Blessed.

I like the fact that while talking to the camera. Her right hand is handling the tractor controls. Without her even looking at them.

Rain is such a blessing. Midwest is so short of rain and we understand that in the spring we get the possibility of hail and tornadoes with that rain. Thats part of farming. Laura stay safe this spring and thank the good Lord for sending the rain.

I like that you guys have finally gotten rain, we are still waiting for rain in west Texas. I can relate to windy and dusty; just been one of those springtime. Enjoy all that rain

I feel the rain, Burlington Colorado. Rain made a holiday and yes, people would stand out in the rain just to feel it rain.

Laura; I’m watching this on Monday morning May 16. 22. Thanks for letting me ride along with you and Grant. You made my Monday. Say hello to your family and Grant’s family also Special prayers for Papa kirt.

Joe you're right. It is hard work but there's not anything more rewarding planting, watching it grow & flourish. Then harvest a good yielding crop. The satisfaction and relief when it's finally in storage safe from the elements. Almost feel sad when it's sold & gone. Almost an empty feeling.

That shot at the end of the video, standing in the rain, says it ALL!

Thank you for showing us that it’s going to be ok. Thank you for being such an inspiration. It was crazy finding the debris in the field, and to think how the settlers worked the land before you many years ago with manual labor. I’m glad I found your channel.

Laura, you are such an awesome young lady farmer. It is a joy to watch you in your natural environment planting your crops. I always learn something new from you and that makes riding along with you so enjoyable. Thank you and have an awesome week.

Great video and great job with your planting season,we need more rain in GA look like I got in at the right time stay safe

Thanks Laura for your videos and letting the public know the time you put in to feed the world 🌍. Thanks again.😉

Watching you stand in the rain brought tears to my eyes . I drove through a tornado on the 21st of May here in Central Indiana . The rain was coming down really hard and going around in a circle around me and my Jeep began rocking back and forth and my heart was beating like crazy ! And trees were falling down in front of me !

It's funny to see the tractor turning right while you turn the steering on the left... with your added smile,...makes me laugh...

Laura, I like the idea of the metal pole mounted in your seed trailer to hold the empty seed bags, so simple, yet so effective. Great job...I missed watching this when it was first released.

Nice work Laura and Grant, I’m glad you guys are getting what you need.

Thank you for allowing me to celebrate rain with you. I cherish seeing the renewing gift of rain on your joyful face. “Let the rain kiss you, Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops, Let the rain sing you a lullaby.” -Langston Hughes

The green glass jar, purple was leaded glass (old), the wheel was a caster from furniture, the metal could be a part of a wagon wheel hub wrench.

Nothing like cool rain to wash off dirt grime from a hard day's work your joy and happiness is a big inspiration to all hope you have a wonderful week stay safe.👍😁

Laura you make it look so easy and fun. I was enjoying watching you having fun under the rain. I did not know farming could be so much fun.

farming is incredibly complex😮I wouldn't last😮so much going on at all times😮impressive anyone can keep it straight IMHO😮prolly helps to grow up in that life🎉

I used to go out and run through the rain when we got some after a drought! Good memories! The Millennial Farmer just lost his Machine shed from a tornado! Most of his equipment and tractors were in it! Praying for them to get them fixed up quickly!

a heart felt thank you to and grant for sharing a part of your life with a you tuber

The item that was about to flatten your tire is an old wrench to tighten hub nuts on horse drawn wagons. Most people also used them to pin the wagon tongue to the wagon

Laura, I'm almost as out of breath as you after watching this video. Great job and done for the day just in time. Hope you enjoyed your evening with a feeling of accomplishment. Thanks for Sharing!

You ending this video SMILING & standing in the rain tells me you are a PLUVIOPHILE like me. Rain is awesome & makes me just as happy as sunshine. (Maybe a tad happier.) But I know as a farmer, you are forced to love sunshine!

For all the Farms in America.😍

That is a wonderful rainy smile at the end of this video. Tonight and tomorrow it supposed to be raining here in the Netherlands as well. It's about time. The Dutch are famous for water-management to keep the water out and the land dry. These days we're working on keeping the water in and the land wet😜Now that is a whole other discipline, but I do believe we can manage that too. Love to see your thoughts and mathematics on the job😎👊

Your doing a good job Laura you got the rain that you needed.warm hugs to you Laura

Bet that rain felt good after a long hot day!

I love your videos. Great optimism and just fun to be alive. Thanks so much.

The A/C dripping is possibly a blocked drain. I use an air compressor and just little short burst of air to unplugged the drain. There may be excessive dust and/or trash blocking the drain. I hope this works for you. Awesome videos. You are doing a fantastic job.

Awwww thanks for sharing your huge smile with us 🤩

Great attitude I wish more people were like you !

I’m sure there are a lot of historical artifacts in the soil of Midwest farms. Fascinating! The native soil in most urban areas has been dug out filled, excavated so many times that it would be hard to recognize much of historical value.

Did we successfully find the cutest farmer? Maybe it's just me but I live in socal, no such thing as farming here so I don't run into cute farmers ever but Laura definitely has to be up there! Love the videos!

I just love ,now when i look in those fields i know what they are doing , Thx Laura ;)

You are getting good at this farming thing! 😎

Never seen anything like that so it was awesome!! Can’t wait to see more

Nobody loves the rain more than a crop farmer in Nebraska!

I love this channel your positive attitude makes my day better

Great video love how happy you are always smiling

For the amount of money they pay for these tractors you'd think they would actually work and be designed for the job. But even a little dirt clogs up the AC? And then you're not even allowed to repair it yourself. That's the kind of corporate crap I can't deal with.

Hope planting is going well we are making progress on our farm would love to have those big Nebraskan fields

regarding your leaking cab ceiling, all AC units have a drain. Probably as simple as the drain is clogged up. It happens often. So try to find where the drain "ends" then take an air hose and blow back through it. it will probably clear the drain line and you will be good to go till it happens again.

We have a love/hate relationship with rain. When it’s hay time….PLEASE NO RAIN. When we look at thirsty row crops (actually any crop) we pray for rain. But bottom line, we cannot schedule rain, we have to work around it,…and we WILL continue to grumble about it…Commiserating with other farmers is our release.

Thanks Laura and Grant. The ending was awesome. Only a farmer would appreciate a good rain storm...... and take a cool shower after a long hot and humid day. Unplug that AC drain line. No sense in getting mildew in the cab as well. ❤❤
