America is eating because of your good work! Guess how much you mean to America. Look how you take amazing care of your pig farm also. You are to be commended for your standards. America loves Laura Farms and all of the farmers of America!

The 4020 brings back memories. The biggest tractor I ever operated.

With Kiddo's Like you in America. It Makes Me Proud To Be American ..God Bless You and your Family

Great background on your roots. My grandfather and his parents came from Sweden in 1888 and he had his 2nd birthday on the ship. Came as Persson but immigration got it twisted to Pearson which I met a flight student when on aircraft, she was from Norway and her name was Pearsson. Grandpa's family settled in Minnesota but as an adult married Zimmerman from Germany and bought a farm in southeast Kansas. I was in Vietnam 2 tours as a combat medic but loved aircraft so went to school for an mechanic and didn't have an interest in farming and work airlines. Retired now and live in Central Washington in apple country in a rural community. Thanks for your videos.

The continuity of family farms from generation to generation is a wonderful thing. Most people today have nothing like that. People go away to school, get married and settle sometimes far from where they grew up. That makes it much harder to keep the sense of family identity. You are blessed indeed.

My great grandfather was a farmer in Tennessee in the 1880’s and 1890’s until the railroad took his land and he was forced to move his family from Jackson to Memphis. My grandfather was born in 1890 and taught himself cabinet making. He and many young men from Tennessee left for Texas and he eventually settled in Dallas and married in 1921. He became a building contractor and many of the houses and buildings are still standing and in use today.

I live in Sweden and I'm fascinated about the history when about 1.5 million Swedes emigrated to America in the 19th and 20th century. Many of them settled as farmers in Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa. I recently discovered your channel and understood from your name that you have Swedish ancestry. Really cool that you and your family are still farming the same land as your ancestors started more than hundred years ago. Keep up the good work!

My ancestors came from Norway, emigrated to Minnesota 1890, 1905 took a homestead in Saskatchewan 5.00$, . Changed last name to Rosaasen form Holverson. All because ther were Holverson's already, so granddad choose Rosaasen, because there were none there at the time

110 years of feeding Americans, thank you Carlson family.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

110 years farming the same land. That is awesome. It's so uplifting to watch your videos. Always love watching your videos.

That's fantastic!! My family came from Germany around 1870 and settled in Grand Island, about 20 minutes from where Laura is located. A group of about 30 Germans came from Omaha to Grand Island and were instrumental in settling Grand Island. I've never been able to trace my families history into Germany, maybe someday I can dig deeper.

I really didn't know they grew girls like you anymore, don't change, you always brighten my days.Thank you

3020s and 4020s are some of the classic great tractors and will last for ever.

Laura, you have made the farm your own with you willingness to work hard and stick with it. You are smart, energetic, upbeat, very personable, humble, pretty, have a 10 KW smile and have a great hubby to be! All of which is why your channel has had amazing growth over the last six months. We have dearly enjoyed watching your journey through this year and seeing you grow with it. We hope very much to see you continue, as your journey is just starting the beginning, not ending the beginning. You have 100K+ followers that would love to give you a big hug and a huge thank you for sharing your story with us. You are a very special gal and a treat to behold. Grant is indeed a very lucky guy. We wish you and Grant the very best for your wedding and the coming new year. Here's to seeing much more of you next year. God bless you and your family. Say hi to your mom and dad for us too!

Wow, must be awesome to be collaborating with JD! What a wonderful gesture to help fellow farmers. I think that I started watching this channel before you had 5000 subscribers. It's brilliant to see how far it's come in such a short space of time and wonderful that you're able to use your success to help those in need. God bless you and everyone at LEAAD farms! ❤️

That's an amazing story and thank your grandfather for his service for me!! Farming has always been an interest for me and I am learning a lot by watching your channel and appreciating farmers/farming more and more. ANF

Awesome to see the family farm going on,while you are speaking about the farm must go on!!! 2 thumbs-up 👍

Awesome! We love ❤️ you and your super efforts to keep it going through all the challenges you’ve had all year. Thanks fir including us on your journey 🥰

Your enthusiasm is uplifting... Glad I found your channel.

You are awesome! What a heart you have. Thank you for the background of the farm it’s always nice to hear those things. Back in the day we had a 4020 and a 3010 that did all the work on our farm. Keep up the good work and the great channel!

Delighted you could donate so much to that unfortunate family hope you & them a Happy Christmas 💚

Congrats Laura on everything and thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Your KZread channel has taught me so much about farming that I never knew before. I live in Cheyenne, Wy but it feels a world away though I am closer to the farm community than some. I have learned so much thanks to you and I hope to learn so much more. All I can say is thank you.

Love that you are sharing your family history. Congratulations on all your accomplishments young lady

So awesome to here a quick background of the history. Can’t wait til the concert

You are so fortunate to be working on a farm that is still family owned and run. It's really cool to hear the history. I know it means a lot to you and your family to be able to continue to work it in times of farmers loosing everything. It's very cool to hear you have so much enthusiasm for farming. It's becoming a lost art. Continued success and great adventures in your farming career.

Laura you are amazing and wonderful! So excited to hear your farm history and all y’all do. Love and blessings dear one.

Laura I've been with you since you started. Keep up the good videos and keep that farm alive!

Love your videos, fabulous news on your donation. Many thanks to you. And greetings from North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

Thank you for this video and for the wholesome, cheerful, and positive content you consistently provide. I do value the regular doses of happiness and think I've learned a little about farming.

I am so glad that you're able to continue farming in this country, feeding America. I really, really appreciate your sharing your American farming experience with us. I've really been enjoying these videos as they're both a look at real American farm life but also a glimpse at the future and it's very, very encouraging. Thank you, Laura. You give me so much to smile about

Wonderful, thanks for sharing, proud family, priceless.

you're such a joy to listen to and watch in your journey.

8 months into your yt carrier/your first year of farming and you are here now making deals with John Deere. A major turning point when you watch your videos today!

I came for your smile about 100,000 subscribers ago and stayed for your enthusiasm, not to mention all the information about modern farming. My maternal grandparents came over to Alberta from Sweden about 100 years ago too.

Great Video. Y’all are a Great Precious Family. We so much appreciate Grandpa’s Military Service!! You will have a Great Life Story ahead of you to be made. Thanks for being so kind, courteous and getting into the farming business.

So that's why I've been stuck here the last six months 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 Great legacy in farming history! ✨👍

Great to capture the interview of your grandparents - Nice to capture their history for your channel.

Awesome video. Congratulations on 110 years of family farm. I know how you feel about and how proud you are of the farm. We have farmed since 1905. I know great grandpa started with horses then a few years later a tractor. Unfortunately I don't remember what that tractor was. My grandpa carried on with the farm and then Dad and now me.

Family farms represent some of the best of America. Keep up the good work.

It sounds so amazing, the concert!!

Great video so nice to see people farm with family keep it alive its great!!!!

You make an old farm boy homesick for the fields. My dad started farming after WW2 using a 2 row planter converted from horse pull. We had an Oliver 60 and 70 and a 2 bottom plow.

Steven Hello hope you are doing great

Love hearing about the farm's history!

Our place has been in the family since 1910 also, but not continuously farmed by us so for me starting out 40 years ago was pretty much from scratch! I for one have high hopes for you and Grant, I believe you will do just fine!

So interesting to hear about your family history Laura. You have so much to be proud of. As someone involved in agriculture here in the UK, I am always interested to hear what you have to say, and witness both the differences and similarities in the way your family farms. FYI: I love the 8210 on the loader. Where I live that's the kind of older tractor you'd have on the plough or seed drill. It's far too big for most British farmyards to use for loading feed.( Most British farms use telehandlers these days). It made me smile. Keep up the good work.

What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!

I'm extremely touched 😢😢by your testimony on the family farm. Me too I was a breeder ( dairy cows) following my parents whose farm has existed since the early 1800s at last! Here in France there is an association called " Solidarité Paysan " which helps farmers a lot who have difficulties of all kinds. I congratulate you again and encourage you too. We feed the World!!🤜🤛🤞👏👏👏 Ps : my tractors was Case IH😉😉 . Au revoir

The farm must absolutely go on, your in my prayer 🙏

That's some awesome heritage! I'm proud of you for wanting to stay in the farming business. Looking forward to seeing how you and Grant will grow and expand your operations.

Terrific idea for the Concert and partnering with John Deere for the concert is a natural. I spent time on my family farm growing up in Southeast Kansas. My Great Grandparents settled the land in the 1880's and when I helped out some summers, I was 4th Generation. Members of my Uncle's Family continue to farm it, making it at least the 6th Generation working the same land. There's something special about the land, but even more so on a longtime family farm like yours. I think it's a special appreciation for the land inbred in each Generation by those coming before. It's not taking anything for granted because you know, if you don't do everything required to take the raw land to planting to irrigating, weeding, etc, to harvest, you don't get the Harvest. Even then, Nature might get you. But you do it all! You really get your hands (and many other parts) dirty. And there's such a satisfaction when you finally see the fruits of your labor. I commend you for becoming the next Generation on your land. And, bringing all of us along for the ride. There's a reason your channel has grown so rapidly. You make it possible for anybody to understand what you are doing and why. It helps people realize what they pick up at the grocery store doesn't happen without all the hours and care Farmers put in. Thank you for becoming a Farmer, Laura and for being such a great spokesperson for farming. Now for the Concert. Dave

LAURA, YOU ARE TOP TIER CREATOR..... YOUR ALIGNMENT IS BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.... MERRY CHRISTMAS

Love the history! Thanks very much!

My dad had a friend in the army that grew up on a ranch in NW South Dakota. Him and my dad were roughly the same age and his kids were about the same age as me (I'm now 56). Sadly none of his 5 kids wanted to continue the ranching life (the last i heard). I don't know whatever became of the place but I'm hoping that it remains in the family in some way. I'm so happy to see a young person such as you continuing your families legacy. So many are lured away to the big city where the live close in proximity but don't have the connections found in the rural lifestyle of farm and family. My dad's side of the family came from Poland about the same time as yours and my mom's side has been here since the late 1600's.

Wonderful video. My best to the continued growth of the family and farm. Keep up the great videos!

Thanks for sharing your family history. Very interesting!

Eeeesh! I'm way late!! Working a lot of hours lately. So cool to hear about the family history, and super cool that you're following in the foot steps of your ancestors and previous generations, keeping the tradition going. I got one word to some it all up.....'MERICA!! Stay awesome Laura!😁

I think when your forebears stated Laura they would have been using horses as did mine. Our family have nearly done 100 years. Happy Christmas, best wishes for 2021.

Great story of your life and business . I wish you the best for all you and your family does in the future .

Super cool story!! I can’t wait for that concert! It’s going to be great!!!

Super awesome you have such enthusiasm to keep the family farm going. I love you and Grant and your family you're all so authentic and fun. Have a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄. 😁😁😁

Those sunsets are so beautiful

Amazing & congratulations on deciding to perpetuate the continuation of the 1910 farm. My family emigrated from the UK post-WWII and maintained our dual citizenship. Many who settled this country did indeed bring agricultural and self-sufficiency experiences with them and came to understand what the Native Americans were so grateful for....mother earth. Oh yes, trust me on this one...both of you will feel so much better with a lift in your work area!!!!!!!!!

Well Laura I am a 5th generation farmer from Western Pennsylvania and I'm old enough to be your dad and I have to tell you very gratifying to me as a member of our county farm bureau board and a full-time beef cattle operator to be able to look and see people your age taking an interest in our business we need more of your generation with your enthusiasm out there and I say this was a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes you're a fine young woman and you're a fine asset to this next generation of farmers and we need more like you don't matter what color paint we drive what breed of cattle or hogs we raise what varieties and brands of seed corn and so on we use we're on this game together and there's 2% of us feeding the rest of the public and I'm proud to see somebody like you fall in the footsteps of my generation I wish you and Grant the best and truthfully you're in my prayers

This "history" video was marvelous! You are fortunate to know your history going back 5 generations. And God's blessing on your upcoming wedding. You and Grant make a super couple.

Great job on promoting your farm and the upcoming event

To be able to carry on the Carlson legacy is very unique and Cool ! Your family is very proud of you ! What an interesting journey you have in store for yourself ! Thanks for sharing !!

Sending love from Sweden!!

I love it when you gush like that!!

I remember the old '20' series tractors, I learned to drive on an old 5020, pulling a 24-foot MF cultivator... my dad would set the depth on the plow, get things moving (I wasn't big enough to fully disengage the clutch), and climb out the back door - and do it again, on reverse order, when he wanted to take back the controls...

"Tractor time with Tim" mentioned this (The Farm Must Go On) already on his channel ;-) It's great that they do things like this.

As a native swede I love the history of your farm, have been with you and Grant since almost the beginning of your farming experience. If you want any Swedish candy let me know. 😉

Lindo Matrimonio, todo terreno, congratulaciones en toda sus Vidas y éxitos en lo que sea.

I wish i was born in a farmer family like you...i'm a 26yo Economics Major and come from a family of bankers so pretty much the city is all i know. But i love watching these videos about how our food is made and also homestead's videos. Maybe in another life....

My Uncle David Carlson’s family emigrated to the U.S. from Sweden. Most of his family settled in Maine to grow potatoes. Uncle Dave moved to Steuben County, N.Y. to raise potatoes and grain crops. Farming wasn’t his sole vocation as he also worked in construction. He didn’t farm a lot of land, and now most of it has been sold off. Sadly, he passed many years ago and neither his son or daughter carried on the farming tradition. I know a lot of Carlson’s came to the U.S. It’s possible that your family is related to Uncle Dave. He was a strapping man with a gentle soul. I love what you’re doing with this channel and growing your farm. 😎

Good update. Wedding is coming and Christmas too.🌲👍

Really enjoy the videos of the farm you are Quite an ambassador for farming

You rock girl! Lovin the farm life from the outside. 🙂👍

Girl love you for everything that you do, so keep up the good work and great videos

We love you. laura must go on!

Very beautiful and inspiring story. Thanks.

Hi, I'm 65, grew up on a family farm which my family unfortunately lost in the mid-eighties. My family had John Deere tractors also, ranging from a 3010 bought brand new in 1963, to a 4010, 4020, 5020 and 4630, all used but new to us which we had to sell in 1985. However, for the past almost 18 years, I've been fortunate enough to work part time for a farmer I've known his whole life. He has 9 John Deere tractors, 7210, 7320, 2 of 7230, 6140R (all loader tractors), 7710, 8130, 8225R and 8235R (all 4 with auto steer and last 3 Mfwd). I help him plant, harvest and haul his crops and with hay baking. He has 2 18 wheelers, a Freightliner and a Peterbilt. Love your videos!!

love your comments, Big John Deere fan from North Carolina

Thanks for sharing I love it your a very bright young lady

Hello, I watch from Poland and I really like your films.😊

I really like your Farm videos. I enjoy the ride alongside in the field. It’s very interesting and your explanations show your knowledge. John Deere is my favourite Farm Implement. Continued success and good health.
