Yall see any bears Laura?
Their One drink a day for $6.99 a month is awesome.
I am from India 😔
Code isn't working for me
I'm in Clitheroe, Lancashire, England. You would love where I live Laura. Thank you.
Some people pay money for CrossFit training. I think having a pivot irrigation system provides all the CrossFit training that one needs without having to pay directly for it.
Yeah it seems like those tires are not very reliable
Yeah but crossfit is cheaper, those pivots are 10s of dozens of thousands of dollars
This channel should be called "The great adventures of Laura Farms". I just love it to pieces. You Folks make me feel like I was there with you, make me feel young again. Thank you.
Nice! Good to see Pop's taking the high road 🤜💥🤛
I love the NASCAR tire change, you guys work together so well. Then the Golfing and 4 wheeling? Talk about work hard and party hard- in a healthy wholesome way. Rock on!
I was going to call this video, pivot week, until you took us to the top of the world.
Enjoy some of your free time before harvest starts, once that starts there will be no fun time for a while.
Stay fit and well, all of you. ❤
Can you not get solid tires or at least foam filled tires for your pivots? Maybe even some sort of track system (like a skid steer) that gives you a bigger footprint to better support the weight of the pivot?

Laura, yours & Grant’s side-by-side trip with all your friends to the mountains of Wyoming looks awesome!! The views at that elevation are simply amazing! You seem to have a really good balance between work & play! WTG!!
Seeing that semi roll up at the gas station pulling a lighter load than the pickup was gold!
I grew up around logging. Started working in the woods for my Dad at the age of 12 and would say it's about the same as to the amount of problems you have. Machines breaking down etc. 😁👍
⬆️🙏I appreciate your comment,dm💬above to receive prize🎁
And government regulations
Nothing breaks machines as much as forestry.
I am curious why you guys do not either use tracks or SOLID tires which will never go flat? 🤔
I am glad to see you guys enjoying yourselves. You have certainly earned it.
For being little Laura, you are a machine!
Check air pressure couple times a week may help
I was hoping to watch you galfing lol. Your side by side trip looked like a blast. I have not been out on mine all summer. Thank you for taking us along.
Same amount of problems with logging or farming, just different kinds of problems. I’ve got to say you are one tough lady. Hope the rest of your week goes better with no more flats.

We really appreciate you posting more frequent content - no matter how small
Natural sales woman. What a life you have.
Two spare things you need on a farm are pivot tires and lots of batteries for equipment, or maybe battery tenders
The good man Grant needs a drone. So he can fly over that water pivot without having to walk out there to see a problem. Thanks for sharing with us
He actually has a drone. I bet he just didn't think about using it like this. Great idea!
Maybe more than one. I didn’t think of that application.
To answer the question about problems in logging or farming. As long as Laura and Grant are working together it gets done either way. Love the video
Done both. Farming especially today is complex and Logging is much more dangerous and more BULL work. IMHO.
Hi butch I haven't seen you in must be 7 years I am glad to see you are doing well. Talk soon
@@boscobeans good response. I’ve been around both enough.
Tracked vehicles seem to do well in soggy conditions.....Perhaps a tracked (special-field only) pick-up....
Looks like to me maybe you could foam feel the center pivot tires . You find a lot of telehandlers with foam filled tires. Maybe cost prohibitive or maybe they would just be too heavy to handle to change gearboxes be worth looking at they would never go flat
That pickup in the beginning of the video is wayyyyyyyy overloaded!!! But the rest of the video was pretty sweet!! Keep'em comin!! 😄
The phone falling into the muddy truck bed was one of the funniest things I've seen on your channel, and I've been with you almost from the beginning! 😅 Loved the Wyoming mountains as well.

If you would've cleaned the mud from the rim you might have sprayed starting fluid in side and light it it will usually air it up and reseal it without dismounting it
Have you ever thought about filling your pivot tires with foam? I don’t know if it’s a thing but it works on bobcats
Laura, you amaze me!! Little you handling anything, you ain't skeerd!! Those tires & bags of rocks aren't the lightest things!! You're rock solid! Y'all be careful out there!!! ✌😎🇺🇸❤

I wish we had that kind of space out here in the Netherlands,but every piece of nature is closed for driving through. I know the Netherlands isn't that big but all those nature-freeks have a strong voice out here so as soon as it looks like a string of grass is touched they protest and make sure it is closed for traffic. I had a Landrover once but since there is no fun in driving around anymore I switched to an old Goldwing motorbike to sense some freedom on my travels. For as long as it takes.....🤞. But hey, it still is great seeing you guys have all that fun and pleasure. A good balance with all that hard farmers work👊😎

Only in America . mud ,pickup trucks, pivots beautiful corn and beans and AWESOME Red finger nails
living your best life, awesome. Work hard, Play Harder
Laura, I live in rural Southeast King County in Washington on a small lake. I often have deer and other wildlife walking up and down my driveway. I often see bald eagles, herons, and other water birds as well.
Keep check on air pressure, they should not go flat like that, if you keep correct air pressure.
I'm thinking the same thing.
This video was great, all over the place. I loved it. Wyoming is a beautiful state.

Hi Laura…gosh but I got to remembering working on two of the Children of the Corn films. Shot In rural North Carolina..in farm country. I spent 20 years as a tv News. Video journalist at a major TV station and for CBS news. But loved living In NC..great people. Then after leaving TV and retiring as a reserve Army Officer I bought a small farm till I moved out west to own a media company.

Project Time: Figure out a way Laura (all farmers ) can get the pivot raised and change a tire without smashing corn...
Been through the area years ago it is beautiful up there glad to see y’all had some relaxation god bless
Riding side by sides in Wyoming would be an absolute blast! Ya’ll have more fun than anyone I know! As fer changing pivot tires he works you like a Dog!

I learned a trick to fill a rut, line the flakes from a bale of straw under the wheel or track. I was doubtful at first myself, but the compressed straw supported my hi-trak skid loader and drove it out.

I don’t know anything about farming but can say logging has its fair share of problems and they seem to hit all at once usually after a few good days or week at best but wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Another slick move throwing in that sponsor so smoothly LOL Great video!
thats so awesome to see ya get off the farm for some play time cause the endless hours of harvest are around the corner
That was the nicest looking cob of corn I've ever seen. You guys do good work, I like it.

Wow Laura! You have come "SO FAR", since your first video in the tractor with your snacks. I remember your first pivot tire change with your dad, on the Sprayer. Now you are doing the ground work and doing it well. I am pleased to have ridden along with you since your first video. You and Grant are living a dream. Keep it up. 😎😎🚜🚜
My wifes brother uses an army truck very similar to pull the log trailers from the landing to the road. Might not work well in Platte river but pretty good crawling out of NC mountains.

You’ve come a long way, Baby….look at all the things you have conquered! I watch you tackle all these big jobs with your sweet personality and great attitude, but when you “pop up” out of the corn 🌽 and beans 🌱it reminds me of when you were about 4 years old….you popped up from behind the couch 🛋 where I was sitting….you had two tiny stuffed animals 🧸 in your hands, and you announced in a loud voice….”And now a puppet show by Little Miss Cute” ❤️😊😂 Your heart is so good, and your pretty green eyes just shine ✨🥰
What a beautiful grandmother! Your grandchildren are amazing!! Laura has the best positive, “can-do” personality! She is such a joy to watch, listen to and learn from! God bless you all!
Wyoming is a beautiful state, moving back in two years, once it gets in your blood, there is no turning back, can't wait, love you guys! Work hard and play harder!
high up in the rocky mountain a drive inn 🤣 , really nice ,,greetz from WestCoastGermany/Heide
Logging has never been easy,but it seems like it has been more of a challenge then in the past. although it could do with some more tweaks to make it even better but our farmers should be looking at how they can benefit form this trend and working with Loggers. Thank you Laura farm's.
Thank You Laura and Grant For Making It Possible To Spend Some Time With You! Couldn't Think Of Anything Better To Do!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😀👍👊
Please please please. Always use chain to tie down equipment. Class 70 chain should be used for highway transport. there should be a chain every 8ft. That 6x6 weights 8 tons, yes? I love you guys and want to see you around for many years. There are many videos on how to properly chain equipment. I know you have gotten by till now so chalk it up as luck and be safe!!!

Laura, you, Grant & your Dad seem to have one huge, continuing headache throughout the growing season and that’s those damn pivots that you can’t live without! Never seen so many tire problems & getting stuck problems! Your approach to solving all these problems is inspiring! Why so muddy? You guys are truly masters at all you do!
The mud is from the pivots watering the crops!
@@joelbittner8791 would it be that the pivot became stuck & kept watering the same spot until it was manually shut off. I don’t know anything about pivots or irrigated row crop farming but I’m trying to learn as much as I can from Laura, because she’s one hell of a good teacher! Just thought if we could eliminate over-watering situations, we could also eliminate the creation of the mud and maybe have less stuck pivots. Just a thought!
Time to get some irrigation control from Irritrol or Semios if they don't have good ag instrumentation already. Probably exceeding local spinkler water application rate?
@@Morgan2XL I grew up about 20 miles from where Laura is and I’m pretty sure that isn’t a thing around those parts. Nebraska sits on the largest underground aquifer in the USA.
@@davemason2066 that’s a good thought! Of course the pivots are naturally going to be traveling through a certain amount of mud, but you are 100% correct about the mud becoming overwhelming if the pivot sits in one place too long.
They log down here in the south, kinda like you farm. Weyerhauser, potlatch, JP Morgan, are some of the main land owners that own hundreds of thousands of acres, they contract logging companies. Logging is really really expensive. It also tears the body up believe it or not, I know two men in their 50s who can't walk anymore, because they rode in heavy equipment in the woods all their life.
What's with all the trees? When I farmed with my dad in 1958 (age 6) there were trees within the city of Marquette, Aurora, and Grand Island..... but on the plains the only trees were on the boundaries between farms in a very narrow row. There were also some trees along the Platte (along with small Crawdads and some Sandhill Cranes) and a great deal more water than you apparently have today. I would say 1-2 feet deep, but still with sand patches.
PS: I have been doing some online research on tornadoes in Nebraska. On average (and if my Edge searches are accurate) Marquette seems to have had more tornadoes than anywhere else in Nebraska. Interestingly, "Tornado Alley" has been moving easterly in the last decade or so. The Alley used to run from Texas, north right smack through Oklahoma, and then, continuing northerly, into Kansas and Nebraska. Nowadays, with the easterly shift, there are an increasing amount of tornadoes in Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Missouri (like the real bad one in Springfield). Has your family encountered plains tornadoes before?
PSS: I mentioned earlier that I was driving tractors at age 6. My dad was very careful about this, as when he was in public school in Hampton (in Hamilton County) there were kids in his class with amputated limbs from when they accidentally got drug into Harvesters and Pickers. So please watch out for that long hair. I don't know how often this happened to young children.
PSSS: Your video skills are top-notch. Keep going. I like the nostalgia.
Question: You are Swedish and my family was Danish. Back in the first part of the 20th century, how did Nebraska Swedes and Nebraska Danes get along? I know there was tension, back then, between Danes and Germans (which I hope has by now totally evaporated). Do you know what Ebelskivers are? My great-grandfather built the Danish Lutheran Church on display at the Stuhr museum in Grand Island.
It's good to see you have a balance of fun and work!
That is some very beautiful country! Thanks for sharing!💕
"Never make two trips to carry what can't possibly be carried in one." I lived by that saying for years and I recently paid the price for doing too much at once: What seemed to be a relatively minor injury has turned into a nightmare. Best wishes for your time off, you guys.
I worked in the woods here in Oregon for about 12 years. Mostly High Lead. Easiest way there is to get killed while making a living. I've done a bit of that flat land skidder logging too. Mostly thinning operations on all kinds of different timber. In retrospect? I'd rather service your Pivots and Power systems. #NoDoubt
😁🤗😃 yes that is some beautiful country been there before camping hiking biking had a lot of fun when I was there Wyoming is a good place I especially love this one thank you
Your getting so good at changing those tires , you'll be hired full time just for that lol. Loved seeing your trip in the Wyoming mountains. Are you looking forward to starting harvest? Take care, be safe and live your life to the fullest.
You are a natural creating the ad for Gas App! Made it interesting!
THIS was a great video - trailering the truck under a bridge, pulling off several pivot tires, lugging rock two pivot lengths into a corn field, changing one pivot tire in record time, a golf outing, mountain driving, logging, wildlife...you crammed a whole week of stuff into 15 minutes. Also the quality of the video rivals any on CZcams. Pretty darn good work all around, right thar.
Good morning & God bless you all
You can probably start feeling it in the head at over 10,000 feet. I felt it at 5300 when I first got here but I was out of shape. I haven't noticed in months so I acclimated.
Way to go on sticking it out on carrying the bags of rock and I am from Wyoming and I get to see that pretty much every day it is beautiful
That Army Truck can be a beast, there is a training manual for it that, might be a good idea to read..
Thank you for the offer, Laura Farms, and to all the crew. I now have a deeper and healthier respect and appreciation for farm work. As you can tell from my profile picture, I am from the Saint Louis Area, and due to these gas prices, very seldom do I have a chance to travel outside of the area, especially visiting various farms. Wishing you and yours all the best in your endeavors.

I love watching your videos. I’m learning so much about row crop farming. Our family is into tree farming here in south Arkansas.
You are such a ray of sunshine. Thanks for sharing and brightening our day.
Equipment breakdowns approximately the same. Terrain way easier to farm on flat land then to log up and down a mountain.
well logging is a very dangerous occupation. Framing has a lot of stress in it.But you Laura seem to have a low stress level ...Good on you.
From changing pivot tires to golf ⛳️ to 4 wheeling in Wyoming….great video Laura!
That area of Wyoming is my favorite spot in the world! I know that area well and there is some great trail riding for sure!

Young lady you are a very strong and very determined will to get the job done!
Bon soire à vous deux encore des réparations sur votre pivot super image de la ballade en forêt bon courage à vous deux super vidéos
.... Empty gets stuck ..... back in the day when every pick-me-up was two wheel drive, in the winter we would put weight in the back to get more traction .. with the big o'l army truck you have lots of rubber on the ground reducing the downwards psi and the only wheels that have traction in soft ground is the steer axel ..... think of PSI on those back tires, they are just about floating when empty ..... do you have a scale on the farm, weigh the steer axel and figure out the PSI and then weigh the rear of the truck and do the same calculation .... the way it is now is good for doing brake stands .... I know nothing on the matter of running in sand and river beds but this is the first thing that came to mind when you were talking about it ..... why are pivot tires air and rubber, would steel wheels like they they had on tractors back in the day. Just seems there has to be a better way .... Hell ya to the outdoors and that beautiful country side you were exploring .... burnt wood has to be havested and to the mill within a year otherwise it is destined for the chipper ..... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .... have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
The corn looks so great. With us, everything in Northern Germany dries up
It's the PP store. I never knew they had a store for that.
I suppose as a farmer you'd need that. But I make more than enough for my needs on my own.

II have never been golfing and I have never changed a pivot tire, but I can sure imagine!!!!
When you got to Grant’s pivot with all that rock only to find you didn’t need it, I was thinking “bummer dude.” And then when your phone fell over in the truck bed I thought, nope, THAT’s the “bummer dude” moment.
