    Am a former farmer, and used smaller equipt from the 1960's-1980's. Wow, planting at 10 mph. Plus, those tracks make it such a smooth ride.

    It has been at five years since I have been home due to college during the planting season in my area. Just saw our neighbor planting corn and it was such a wonderful sight to see it in person once again. It gave me a little more energy to study for exams. Thanks, Laura for all the videos it makes my day.

    Many of large farms have millions of fram equipment setting outside in the weather and the farmer having to live in a house trailer trying to keep up the payments on his or her equipment. I remember when a John Deere 4020 and 200 acres of land would pay for the land, pay for a nice house, feed your family. and pays for a big barn to keep your equipment out of the weather.

    Well said.... I have one case 7120 tractor and working 850 acres. One combine 2188. All I can afford. I don't know how these big machines get paid for. Between land rent and expenses it's insane. Farming is becoming a line of credit game. I need new planter but can't afford to even swing the payments

    @@hdelano11 This kind of equipment is never really paid for. It is used for the 4-5 years that it is really up to date with few to no break downs, and then is traded in for the next generation of super sized high tech equipment. In the US, you need to be the expert on playing the Federal tax game to write down the operating and acquisition costs of this equipment. In many cases (like the farmer across the road from me), all this equipment is leased and never owned. Margins are thin, mistakes deadly. But if you can survive for your working life, you sell off the land at the end and retire a millionaire. If not, you are just a broke, small time farmer leaning on the fence wondering how the big guy got so lucky. Or, you farm like the brothers behind me have done. They only financed the original 160 acre dairy farm operation they bought. After that, every acre, every piece of equipment was purchased with the money they had in the bank. The equipment they bought was first rate, but used. No additional debt added to their farm ledger. These guys weren't the sit at the kitchen table - let the hired help do the work sort of farmers. I worked a night job for years. Too often when I came home after mid-night I would see one or both of them still doing field work. When I would head to bed around 5am, someone would be heading to the dairy barn to start milking. Just the two of them. I begrudge these two men nothing. They really did earn every nickle of their wealth.

I had a small farm a while back, and have been able to relate to your farming in a small way, and to watch how it's done on a large scale.

    It has exploded, because they haven't purchased it yet! I know Laura said the tractor alone was about 600,000.00 plus, and yes it it more expensive, but they're failing to remember, it's a high speed planter, 10mph, so that means, there's not very many tractors & planters that can do 10mph while planting. So farmers need to look at the savings, rather than the costs. John Deere needs to teach Value Selling, to all their dealers. Like it all comes complete, with the latest software, the receiver, the tanks, even the tracks on the planter. And then take the cost of both, and spread it over 10 to 15 years. Once you see that cost, it's well worth the price. Instead of taking a month to plant, or maybe longer, you'll finish in two weeks, and those two weeks, you prepare for planting beans. Yep, I think I need to become a sales guru for John Deere, Laura, if ya can put in a good word for me, I'll get you some New John Deere caps and shirts, free of charge, if I get the Sales position!🚜

    Hey Laura, I have something I need to talk too you about. I don't know this, but your an Icon in the farming industry on KZread, im sure twitter & Instagram, so i need your help. Its your hair! When your in the Business of EMS (Emergency Medical Services) we see a lot of stuff, and i can tell you, you should be well aware of loose clothing, scarves, things that can catch, even the other day, when you said, when your by yourself, you dont ztand behind the tractor. That tells me you know the dangers of tractor jumping out of gear, or moving. And please, dont be mad, its the fact that your hair is beautiful, but all it takes is one time, and hair and scalp are ripped from your head, hand drills, combines, wind blowing, all it takes is just a bit too get caught. Your a Great role model, and we dont need any accidents. Please, think about it, ive seen enough that would make you sick, I've seen Firemen & women throw up, because of things theyve never seen before. Please, its not a scolding, farming is already dangerous, and the accidents when they happen, seem too be even worse. I guess its the size of the Equipment, a good friends mom, standing next too the combine, decided, she was going too pull a few bean stalks out. This was years ago, and like Lilian does, she probably looked away, and within seconds, two fingers were amputated, a 3 & 4th were partially cut off. Now, not everyone drives new machinery, most farmers use older equipment, she wasnt sure if she looked away, or if it grabbed her hand while she tried pulling them out. But like every farm accident, it happens fast, and when it happens, it always, always, always, turns out much worse!... Stay Safe, and thank you all for the great videos!.....
