      @@norm-nas She could be stopping the camera, asking Grant to step in then he gets the bolt loose then they switch then she finishes up on camera and if they are great editors then it looks great. That is one way to do it but not the only way.

    Farmer has to be the most demanding career on earth... and one of the most critical to our survival... farmers have to be mechanics, doctors, nurses, scientists, accountants, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, teachers, meteorologists and on and on... in addition, they have to know how to operate very large and dangerous equipment... at the same time, they have to have enormous patience (i.e. weather conditions) and, above all, a wonderful sense of humour... and none of this is possible without an enduring love of God... you won't find many atheists down on the farm... God bless you and thank you for bringing me these informative and interesting lessons... cheers!

    That was so cute! I find myself watching some of these videos and thinking to myself “This is probably something I will not find interesting or even slightly understand.” But then, those beautiful green eyes have me hanging on every word, and totally enjoying the explanation of something that I would never have thought I’d not only find interesting, but even wanting more! 😂 You guys make any task seem like a fun couple’s project ❤️ love you!

    This is a great video, thanks. It's very nice to see the operation of the augur at the end.
    I watch 10th gen dairyman and he carefully considers the moisture content of harvested grains before transfer to a silo or bunker. They will take actions to dry them in the field if the water content is too high. They don't have drying equipment such as the machine between your silos, and I would assume it wouldn't be financially beneficial for them to buy the equipment due to the size of their operation.

    FYI Be very careful using incandescent light fixtures in the bins, if the bulb breaks could cause fire! I’d recommend led not as big of fire hazard!😉👍👌

    Very interesting to see the internal workings of a corn/grain silo. Replacing the gearbox reminded me of my days as a mechanic. The worm gear could be a very dangerous piece of equipment if not handled with care. Thanks for the video and Happy Valentine’s Day to the both of you.

I love how Laura is always knee deep in all of the maintenance and operations of all aspects of the farm. I never knew how complex the silo systems are and just how huge they are. Thank you, Laura and Grant, for showing us another new and awesome piece of machinery.

    I was wondering when you were going to dump the corn out of your boots. 😁 I used to live on a farm so I know a few things. My dad rented a small house from the farm family that lived there. We didn't farm but the farm owners were happy to answer questions plus when I was a kid My dad said to help their kids so I had to help with some of the cleanup so I saw the inside of those silos and stuff. My dad was U.S. Airforce. Sr. Chief Master Sgt. When he retired that was one grade down from the Pentagon by the time he retired and before they added the latest NCO rank. Like a Major General but for NCO's.
