- Good day on the farm! Dad helped me get the last of my corn hauled in. Next time, I’ll drive it to town myself! Any tips on how to be a good truck driver?

Laura, I’m a grandfather. I can assure you that having a grandchild like you, your grandfather is so proud and he loves you more than you’ll ever know! You are a blessing to one another.
Perv
That is very well stated . Laura has a good heart .
That was a lame statement
@@Robsixx Thank you!
@@jimmyjenkins9240 you're welcome
Absolutely, prayers up for Grandpa & all the family! 💚
Laura,
Please don’t apologize for “ending on a sad note.” As your fans and subscribers we, too, are part of the Laura Farms family and care deeply about you and your entire family. Be assured of continuing prayers for your grandpa’s health and healing, as well as for the peace and comfort for you, Grant, and both of your families.
Very well said … just how I feel !
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen
You will say anything for a reply lol
I agree 100% with Mr Jenkins. Being a grandpa also, I think you would make any dad or grandpa very proud. Keep up the great learning skills. God bless you Laura. Prayers for your grandpa.
As a grandfather myself, I know your grandfather is incredibly proud of you and all that you do. It is just the most wonderful thing in the world to see your grandchildren become smart and successful people. I’m sure he also sees a lot of himself in you.
So sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Unfortunately life comes to an end for everyone at some point, just focus on the blessings you shared just knowing each other. In today's troubled times, how wonderful it is to have a loving role model you had with your Grandfather for over 20 years. That is a wonderful blessing to have. Thank you for sharing.
Laura, my Family is praying for yours as your Grandfather goes through treatments. Cancer affects the entire Family, not just the individual. It's a terrible thing but treatments have continued to become more improved and numerous. I hope you will continue to keep us updated on your Grandfather's condition. Stay strong in your faith. Thanks for Sharing!
Laura, I will be praying hard for your grandpa, God Bless you and your family.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope all is well with you?God bless you!!❤
Through you, we feel like we are part of your family. Prayers and good thoughts for you all. Cancer is a terrible disease that does not discriminate. So be strong and keep the love flowing from your beautiful heart.
So sorry to hear about your grandpa. Sending prayers his way. Thank you for putting your hair up when you’re around that machinery!
This is a pretty amazing operation you guys have!! Back in 73 I was 13 worked for about 4 years on a Kansas farm, lots of land but not anything like you are working, do appreciate what you are doing, it was a cool job, lots of cattle corn, beans!! Been watching you for awhile, love it! Thank you for making the videos!!
Papa Kurt is strong, he'll pull through, my prayers for him. On the trucking skills, basically you step on the brake like you step on eggs. You don't want to brake them, you step on the clutch like you want to kick your greatest fear, hard and you step on the gas as steady as you want your life to be. Oh and deep DEEP breaths when you are on corners, that helps a lot.
Laura , I can see the emotion in your face concerning your grandfather. You are doing the right things , he needs you and I’m sure that he loves you . At the end of the day you are doing all you can do . There is a certain peace in that . Prayers for grandpa .
Definitely my prayers for Grandpa Kurt and your family. Being a Senior myself and having and still undergoing treatment for Cancer, I know how important is the support and prayers of family and friends. May Grandpa Kurt and your family have peace and God's strength and blessings. I hope you keep feeling you can come to your CZcams "family" especially to request continued support and prayers for your Grandpa.
As far as the truck loading and driving, you did well for a rookie. It will get easier with practice.
gosh, I just mentioned your Grampa in my last comment - so sorry he still has cancer. Thank him for his service for the USA!! I am probably a few years older than he at 76 but I appreciate his farming and his military service!
As a fellow Navy Vietnam Veteran, I am praying double time for your Grandpa and all of your beautiful, special family! We are praying that his treatments are successful. Grandfathers are great, being one myself, and I know how strong your love for your grandpa must be and I know how proud you make him wanting to continue the farm! God bless you all!
We feel your pain, Laura and your love for Papa Kurt. Wish him a good recovery
Praying for you guys--lost my dad and my brother to cancer--would be really nice to see a picture of you and your grand dad--keep up the good work--God Bless you guys
We definitely will keep praying for grandpa and your entire family. Love the channel.
Your dad is fortunate to have his daughter stay near her home with her family’s. Really informative videos. Prayers for your grandfather.
My Dad recently beat his cancer. I am sure your grandfather is a fighter, just keep showing him your love and of course he is in my prayers.
God bless Papa Kurt and your whole family. We are praying that he have a complete recovery and be with us all for many years to come.
All of us older folk know the rules of life. It’s good for us, ‘specially your Grandpa, to know that quality people like you & Grant are staying behind to take care of things. 👍
Very nicely said.
Being a veteran myself, my thoughts and prayers are with your grandpa, you and your family. Positive thoughts.
Very nice Laura, a farmers work is never finished. You looked good on the business end of the shovel lol. The only tip I can give about driving is practice, like all skills you get better the more you do it. Sad to hear about grandpa, but it's a hard thing to beat at the best of times, even harder as we get older. I hope he is well enough to be able to stay at home. Gloves and coffee cups always seem to be somewhere else when we want them. Take care Laura, be safe and get ready for planting.
I am sorry for your grandfather. being a grandfather myself I am sure he is very proud to see a 5th generation farmer in you. God bless you
Laura, I am a 76 year old great grandfather, I know the end is close and I am sure your grandfather knows it too. The last thing he would want you to do it worry about him. He loves you more than his life and probably has shown you that all your years. He will be fine, end of life issues are tough but we all will face them eventually. God will welcome him with open arms and you will be ok knowing that. I think you are a strong and loving person, I will pray for you and your family. Dave
Laura - I will say prayers for you, your family and especially your grandpa!!!
👆Text me now!!
I got s few questions to ask
My favorite part of rhis video is at 4:40, when you put your hair up before working near the auger at the bin site.
Our county 4-H family was rocked by the death of a longtime 4-H leader in a PTO accident. Despite knowing the rules and having been through safety training again and again, her hair was caught by a PTO shaft, which snapped her neck.
Prayers for Papa Kurt--and for you and Grant as well, that you may have many prosperous safe years together.
It does my heart good to see the relationship that you have with your dad. A lot of girls would kill to have what you enjoy
I am sure your grandfather is very proud you are carrying on the farming tradition, and many prayers for him.
So sorry for your grandpa. Cancer its a scary thing. Prayers for him and your family. . I’ve battled it. I’ve worked for a truck dealer for 28 years. You keep practicing your truck driving and you’ll get it.
My thoughts and prayers for your grandfather and family. And thank you for your positive and happy approach to all you do, and the way you present it to us as viewers!
Laura I absolutely love your attitude and determination when it comes to farming.. You tackled what needs to be done and enjoy it.. No whining and complaining at all… Prays coming you’re way for all your wonderful family!!!
I just LOVE this sunny adorable Laura cheer, smiles and upbeat persona! She isn't afraid to learn and try anything constructive! Makes my days brighter just watching her! Laura, truckers almost always test for flat tires using a ball peen hammer, striking the sides of all of the truck and trailer tires before getting in and going on the road. A fully aired tire will bounce the hammer right off of it and a flat tire won't. This is an easy quick check and I hope that this helps you out? Try it!
Laura, I truly feel what you and your family are going through. I lost both of my parents to cancer. I was there with them up until their last breath. As you know, it hurts and it's really hard to stay positive going through this and it took me years to get back to a "normal" way of life if you can call it that? Of course your grandpa, you and your family will always have my prayers! May God bless you and your entire family and give you all comfort and the ability to have much joy! Oh and may He give you rest! The stress makes one feel really tired and fatigued all of the time. Been there, done that. I can see that it has affected you? Hang in there kid. No need to apologize! We love you!
Praying for healing mercies for your grandpa and strength for you and your family. 🙏🙏
You bet I will be praying for your Grandpa and the whole family. Love you all.
Praying for your Grandfather and a full recovery. Praying also for peace and comfort for your whole family as you go through this trial. Love your videos, Laura! Very informative and impressive. Best Blessings to your family and to You and Grant!
Prayers and thoughts with Grampa Kurt and his loved ones. I have battled lung cancer in the last year and was lucky to get it early and I am cancer free at this time. It is a very scary monster and I hope he wins the battle and with all your loving support I believe he will fight hard.
Prayers for you and your family, I hope your Grandad is healed and returns to his normal life
Great video ! Great to see how strong and independent you are! The farm will be in good hands when it is your turn to take the reins. Prayers on the way for Grampa Kurt, and your whole family. If anyone can pull thru it is Grampa Kurt! Stay safe and well.
Prayers to your Grandfather Laura. As an Ex Navy man and a Grandfather myself, I wish him all the happiness. And I just know that spending the rest of his days on the farm with you and Grant are a blessing.
Prayers going up for your Grand Pop Laura and Hope he has a nice Vietnam Veterens Day. Welcome Home brother!
Prayers for papa Kurt. I hope all goes well.
From a Professional Truck Driver: The Red knob is the Trailer air supply. It supplies the trailer with air and fills the tanks as well as releases the trailer parking brakes. The yellow Knob just releases the Tractor parking brakes. Unless you are on a hill or loading or unloading, you do not need to set your trailer brakes when parking. Most drivers NEVER set them unless we have to which is rare. I know both buttons come out when you pull the yellow, However if you grab the yellow with your hand, extend your thumb to the red one, while pulling out the yellow, apply thumb pressure to the red and it will stay in. This may take some time to practice. When you first release the brakes to move the truck, push in the red (if it was set) first and wait a minute or so. Especially if the trailer has been parked with no air to it. This will fill the tanks with air and eventually release the brakes. If the trailers air pressure isn't high enough (60psi+) than the trailer brakes will not release and you will just spin the tractor tires. When you have sufficient air pressure and are ready to move, put your foot in the brake and push in the yellow knob.
Prayers for you grandfather and you're family and for strength for you Laura.
Great job with the semi! Also, we'll continue to pray for papa Curt's health.
Prayers for you and your family stay strong he's going to need you to and remember that he is still doing what he loves 🙏🙏
Laura's DONK is the real deal
From my family to yours all the prayers to you and your family for your grandpa's speedy recovery.
He's still with you so that's not a sad note. My mum didn't fair so well. I'm not sure what is worse, the cancer or the treatment. Prayers for all of you and mostly for Grandpa ❤️. God bless.
I know the pain from having cancer. Praying for your Grampa!!! God bless!!

Laura, Praying for your Grandpaw and the entire family. God Bless.
Laura will surely be Praying for Grandpa and the family, So sorry to hear the bad news, God Bless you honey.
I grow up on a farm here in the southern tip of Indy,I remember being a kid running around through the fields,up in the hay loft,just doing what farm kids do.i really never gave it much thought as a kid to what it entails to keeping up a farm,with equipment, preparing the land for planting with all those long hours my grandparents put in to it.as I grew older I realized there is more to farming then cows,sows and plows.
Sorry to hear of Grandpa news, You All will be in our Prayers, I personally have a form of Cancer as well, so we know what your family is going through, Big Hugs to you All
Wow I woke up this morning thinking about your Grandpa worried that we hadn't heard anything for a while. I'll be praying for him and your family.
Praying for your grandfather and your family. Family first.... always.
Love all your Videos Laura You do Such a Great Job!! Prayers for Papa Kurt 🙏
Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊
Truck brake knobs are always pull to set the brakes. Push to get rolling.
Also remember that unlike cars you only push the clutch in fully to select the first forward gear, and or to find reverse. (You are engaging a small clutch brake to stop the spinning action of the gears.)
When you run the first gear out push the clutch in half to three quarters to make the next shift. (You don’t want to use the clutch brake now).
Hope your grandpa is free of pain.
Laura I am praying for you and your family!! We serve a big God who is able to heal your grandpa. Speaking healing over him, just love watching your channel, I look forward to each and every video. Hope grant is doing well, miss seeing him today.

Good job Laura. You're always so chipper. ❤❤❤
So sorry for grandfather. Prayers to you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You have an awesome dad. So good to see the enthusiasm you have and your ability to accomplish what you set out to do. You are the true definition of a real woman... not afraid to put in the effort. The world needs thousands more just like you.
I,ve been wondering when you were going to get behind the wheel of the big trucks and today with loading the corn and pulling the trucks around was an awesome job. Great job Laura
