Laura and Grant. This was a powerful video showing one of the perils for our farmers. Thank you for what you do, and for feeding all of us.

I thought they planted a corn variety used for ethanol. Are they planting food corn?

Thank you for being a farmer we need more like you and Grant I happy none of you got hurt

Sorry for all the bad interruptions, Laura. You guys work so hard to get us the food we need. God bless the farmers of the world. Stay safe and praying for a better summer, going ahead.

Laura, you are such a little blessing to grant all your family and of course your viewers. Thank you for being the person that you are truly a sweet little flower.

It's good to see Gage again. My heart aches for the mountain of hours that you have to reinvest into your crops again. I love your resourcefulness and your stick to it attitude. It's crazy how the run off focused in the planter rows.

Driving tractors to school reminds me of when I was young. We were tomato farmers in Florida. One day, I drove a tractor up to the window of a McDonalds for lunch. The manager came running out and told me to get the hell off the property with the tractor. He was a real $hit.. Later that season, a fungus hit most tomato farms and you could not find a tomato anywhere, except our farm, as we were spared. That same manager came to our farm to buy tomatoes and my dad went out and told him to get his truck off our farm! What goes around, comes around.

That manager was just a little shit! Laura and Grant took their tractor thru the drive-thru on camera once. Did you see that episode? I can imagine that was one hell of a sight...I mean how often do you see a farm tractor going thru the drive-thru? Some places have a 24-hour drive-thru even tho their lobby isn't open 24 hours! And, at least here, they don't want to serve you at the drive-thru if you walk up. I think it's stupid to have a restaurant be closed up with only the drive-thru open and then refuse to serve people for walking up. NOT EVERYONE HAS A BLOODY CAR!!! I had that happen to me and I said 'what do you expect me to do, go home and come back with a vehicle?' and they said that they did and even asked me how long that would take me! I was like 'once I leave right now, I'll never come back'. I mean what's the point then? I've got food at home. That manager learned a BIG lesson that day...Farm round to find out! Well, when the tomato blight came round...he FOUND out!

Good to see you two keeping a positive attitude through this. I'm sure it's disheartening and your point about not being able to control the weather is so true. Best of luck with you improvisation!

Farmers have been at the whim of nature since the start of farming. The important thing is that everyone is doing ok.

Sorry it happened to me a lot of times during my farming career it is not good but I lived through it. GOD IS GOOD!!

Oh my god Laura and Grant. My heart goes out to you both. All that hard work gone. Thinking of you guys. 🥰🥰🙏🙏

The one row planter is awesome.... SORRY to hear and see all the rain damage. Thank God for no tornados.

That takes me back many years. As a kid, I remember using a two row planter very similar to that to plant our entire farm. Of course, the farm was small. Dad thought he went to a big time farmer with when he upgraded to a four row, no till planter. He would be shocked at how big the equipment is now and how much you can plant in a day. Thanks for the videos

Laura and Grant, thank you for the great video. You are so fortunate to have such supportive and resourceful neighbors.

Good morning Sunshine! Mother nature sure hit you all hard, but thankfully you didn't experience a tornado. It was heartbreaking to see the filed damage and I pray that your efforts to mitigate the damage done to your planting it mitigated. Regardless, it is a financial and time consuming cost associated and I just hope your resulting crop is not negatively impacted too severly. You and Grant will be in my thoughts and prayers. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Thank you for sharing this part of your journey Laura and Grant! I hope your seeds and plantings for 2024 are not affected too much by the water and solar storms!

I'm sorry you guys are having a rough time. You are so lucky to have friends, family and nabors that care about you guys. Just think your lurning what farming was like for about a century until you got your technology today. I'm proud of you guys for not giving up and trucking on.

Was up in Marquette this past weekend for graduation, stopped and visited with my buddy Todd D. Was able to watch that fancy German machine put seed in the ground, until everything stopped because of the solar flares, took them awhile to get everything working again, but thank God nothing major damaged, just some rebooting 😅 prayers for great weather and safety 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

That little planter is cute, makes you appreciate the big guys.

It's frustrating farming some times. But it works out in the end. Glad yall didn't get any damage.

Thanks for sharing this with us! Hope all goes well for your seeds!

A quick 'thank you' for the update. I'm just some random guy in Essex UK who enjoys learning about your operation on the farm. So hearing about the solar storms and the weather events in the news means we worry about how you guys are doing, like you are our physical neighbours. Watching with interest how the reseeded parts do in the harvest.

Laura I am old enough to be your grandfather and grew up in farm country I have never seen a farmer happy about the amount of rain or the price of a crop.

Resilient folks…my dad used to always say with any investment , if you are only looking back, you will be irrationally elated or depressed…keep doing the right thing, expect some bumps and you will probably win in the end. Your diligence will be rewarded- thanks for sharing!!

That is pretty cool!! That one roll planter!!

Our prayers and thoughts are with yall to have a successful result planting again!

I'm very sorry for the trouble you're having with mother nature. Please stay safe and don't let yourselves or anyone in harms way. Thank you for the update and please stay safe

Glad you all are ok , prayers that everything works out for you 🙏❤🙏

Wow! Just something I would have never thought of or expected. Glad you were able to recover!

So sorry to see you going through this. The good thing is that everyone is ok. I hope you are able to restore the lost seeds and everything goes smoothly from here on out. Good luck!

Thankful y'all or your home's wasn't hurt or devastated,in my neck of the woods two and four row mechanical is all we ever used,I've still got a two row and plenty of plates for beans and corn, May God bless y'all and keep you safe.

Grant, Laura, amazing story of doing what can be done. Never stopping, always finding a way to improve yield. Thank you for sharing this.

I am always so impressed with your attitude. You just live the Serenity Prayer 'Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference'.

Bummer. I’m glad you guys didn’t get hit by one of those devastating tornadoes

now thats called real farming-you find a way to improvise and adapt to different problems-fantastic! laura,grant and gage-charlie from arkansas.

You showed us the reason for the expression "save money for a rainy day." Farming involves both risk and reward. I appreciate your good attitude during times of loss. God bless.

My heart goes out to you f0r your lost labor and seed.

I had you guys on my mind. Happy to see you are ok and got to replant.

I grew up on the farm in Southwest Minnesota and feel your pain. Weather risk is real. Take care. Things will get better.

Old school John Deere 71 planter! Very reliable, I ran a 4 row set for years.

I am sure that I would not last as a farmer, your attitude in the wake of huge weather setbacks is to be admired. I hope the balance of your planting season goes well, Good Luck. Ray

I got my 6-7 acres planted near the end of april. The corn is several inches tall now. We have been getting a ton of rain here in Kentucky which has been ok for the corn but its got me behind on hay. Life of us farmers!

And all with big smiles on your faces! Champions!

Praying for a successful farming season for you both inspire of all the obstacles.

You watch the news that covers the storms and see the impact to buildings and houses. This video shows the periphery effect to the fields and what the effort involved to recover. I find it interesting that the rows where corn that was not flooded out, is popping through and is adjacent to the rows from last year. Is that on purpose? That implies alternating where the seeds are planted each year. Thanks for sharing, chin up and keep moving forward!

Glad you are ok love to see you water ski in the ditch 😊

prayers for a good harvest god bless !

Nice work! That's a cool little machine for the smaller planting jobs! We're praying for you guys, It's going to be a good year! 🙂

Documented reality - great job and great recovery - You are a great farmer's spokesman

Persistent. You are farmers! God bless you all and safe travels. Especially in those muddy fields. Bye Gauge!

I appreciate your positive attitude -- can we still farm without technology? You bet! Much success to you both.

Glad to hear y'all are okay,with the tornadoes in Nebraska,I and I'm sure others that follow,were concerned for y'all Keep on farming

Bless you for doing what you do.

Thank you for the warning on Scams related to your Channel. I was contacted last year by a person claiming to be Laura asking for an investment firm a skid of Laura Farms Merchandise. Praying for a quick recovery to the storm damage to your fields and crops 🙏. good luck with your Season.

I pray that you continue to get the rain you need, but not as gully-washers!

Blessings for your crop correction. Hope planting is Easy peasy from here on out!

Wow, hear goes out to you guys. Stay the course . You 2 got this

With the low crop prices this year, this is a real kick in the teeth. Back on our small hill farm in Missouri during the ‘50’s, my dad terraced some of our fields and he planted his crops on the contour, specifically to alleviate the soil washing away during rain events. But he had 40hp tractors and 6 foot implements; things no longer practical on most of today’s farms.

That's farming folks. Going through drought now myself, first time in 20 years with no rain to kick off seeding and pastures for lambing season. Weather patterns change and you just have to go with the flow. Keeps you on your toes. Sometimes the old simpler way is the best way. At least there is options with advancement in technology over the years, when it works.

Such a cool education channel. Thanks for the learning Laura and Grant and fam.

What a crazy turn of events. Praying for you and all the hardworking people going through this difficult time.

Hang in there guys. Prayers being said for your continued success this planting period. God bless. 🙏

So sorry to see you all having such adversity and lost expenses, especially right off the bat. Not too late to fix it and you all sure did! I'm proud of you all!

Laura, this experience shows how small we are in the scheme of things.As always it is worse elsewhere and give thanks to God that you have a chance to replant and hopefully a successful harvest.

Was hoping to see Laura using the ol' 4020(?) to pull that one row planter until we saw her on the ATV. I recall my grand-dad had an old two row planter that was converted from horse drawn to be pulled behind his '48 Ford 8N. We used it to plant sweet corn on his acreage when I was a kid back in Iowa. He would drive the 8N while I sat in the big metal seat between the seed hoppers and worked the foot pedal and the hand operated lever systems that controlled the two basic functions of the planter. At 10-12 years old, it was all I could do to make 'em work. Farming is such an exercise in faith and Laura confirmed this. Farmers accept what comes, deal with it, make the best of it, learn from it and move on. It's a wonderful thing. It's really no wonder why our farmers are so fiercely independant. God Bless our farmers!

John Deere 71 flex planter. one of the best ever made.

Rain, such a fine line between not enough and too much. A good show of the trouble farmers deal with from year to year to grow the crops that feed a world.

Wow, really a great episode ! Good luck with this season!

Back to the old days planting lol ...stay safe and catch you soon

Most certainly when we look upon the infirmaties that we may be facing that have come on us we must look out more broadly to see that which is still coming up green. That opportunity to be reminded of getting back to the basics of one row planting in this sixteen row world is a blessing to remember that even with all this technology, there is still a place for the simple things that our forefathers first deveoped to get us where we are today. God is good all the time; we just have to look broad enough to see it sometimes in the midst of those storms that rage around us. Continue in faith is always the answer.

Glad to see that mother nature didn't bless you with tornadoes, but water can do just about as much damage. Bless you both.

We're so sorry to hear and see all of the flooding you guys experienced recently.... hoping that the recovery will be a swift one and that your re-planting will be a huge success... Prayers and thanks for you and your family from Ohio.... hang tough kids

I'm so Sorry Laura So Much Distruction From The Heavy Rains!! Thanks For Sharing Hope Your Crops Do well From Here On Out And You Are Able To Recover!! Try To Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️

The struggle is real. never can learn to much, thanks for sharing

Good luck on the new individual rows! Hope y'all have gentle rains for the rest of the summer!

Great video! Good positive energy after a turf turn of events!

That one row planter really is very interesting. What an amazing idea for repairing a damaged field! I'm glad to see that you are able to salvage your fields at least a little bit. Looking forward to seeing your next video!

Laura and Grant thank you for sharing! So happy that you are safe and still able to bring captivating videos about your daily farming activities. Love the channel. Not a farmer but love @TrailMater, @MattsOffRoadRevovery. Keep up the great work. May god bless your farm.

Wow that sucks ! At least it was a small portion of your fields. I'm over here in N.H. and not a farmer at all, but I watch all your videos, so naturally when I hear of severe storms in Nebraska I think of you. I hope your luck changes and the storms subside.

Thanks for sharing Laura & Grant sorry to see all the water damage to your fields hopefully your crops are not washed out.

I pray that you have good yields to make up for the seed that you lost.

That’s sucks Laura but that’s the changes of farmer I wish you success this season .from Canada Ontario cheers.

Well that was something different, I hope you can rescue the most of what you can from the flooding. I know insurance doesn't always protect you completely. Laura still manages to smile, if we lost that smile we would be devastated. Love from Mike. ❤

I’m glad your all safe and sound, yes lots of doing the dressing again and lots of money but you’re still alive

Sorry Grant & Laura that sucks to have your hard work washed away.

You are amazing team! I think you guys are able to handle just about any challenge that comes your way. All the best

Hi Laura, Grant and Gage, I'm pleased my favourite crop farmers from southern Nebraska are all OK. The outcome of weather systems, we have absolutely no influence over, and they'll mow through farm land as they do. Farming is definitely the epitomy of "character building"! Clean up, fix and move on. That's all any of us can do. Looking forward to seeing some more seedlings popping up above the soil as the weeks go by. I love your channel Laura! Best wishes from me down in tiny NZL, David

How heart breaking 😞 but glad that y'all are safe ! 🙂 Tough people last, thoug times don't. You two will over come this set back in time.

Awesome video Laura

Thanks for the video. Hope the replanting works.

It was cool to seeing the small planter at work.

Farming, Planting is Russian Roulette ... 🤐 We hope for the Best ... Climate is changing faster then we espect ... The nature will be much stronger ! Greetings from Switzerland.

You guys are Awesome.! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
