Someone CRASHED Into My Corn Field!

All you people watching but not subscribed need to help Laura out. It doesn't cost anything but helps her a lot.

Grant, might I suggest you pre fill that big oil filter with oil before installing on the engine . I don’t do this for my little diesel engines , however for the bigger engines it takes many seconds to fill that big filter and then supply oil to the oil galleries and the crankshaft.

Hi Laura, I'm a truck driver who grew up on a farm in SW Nebraska. I noticed the tracks in your field the other day while driving back to my old hometown for harvest. The question about what people call corn harvest. I've noticed, is answered by location and the era you grew up in. For me, it was picking corn and cutting beans and wheat. My grandfather called it shelling corn and thrashing wheat. BTW, I was one of those watching and not subscribed, until today. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work. I'll be the truck driver waving like a fool at you and all your neighbors while driving down I-80 now that I know approximately where your fields are. Keep up the good work. 👍

Gosh we drove by your farm twice about a month ago! We went to Gearing. We went to the State Department of Educations meeting. We visited also Chadron, and Kearny for the events that went on! Wish we could have dropped a visit with you all! We are a micro channel compared to you all! Lots of love to you all, always!

Love this channel... thanks for the ride along from a guy who grew up on a working farm.....i know how much work it takes to do what you do.......

Laura, I have one thing I learned from this - I could NOT do farming. The worry I would have at how I can pay the bills, keep up with the enormous expenses and repairs that are constant, and be terrified if the crop failed. Oh my goodness, you two are the bravest people I will ever meet. And again, you two provide the food that I eat at my table so thank you for serving really the world with your production of food!

I grew up in Northern IL. When we picked ear corn to fill the corn cribs, it was called picking corn. When we used the combine for various crops, it was called combining corn, combining soybeans, combining oats, and combining wheat. When we shelled the ear corn out of the corn cribs, it was called shelling corn. Pepper and the kittens are adorable.

I've been an active viewer since subscribing around 3 years ago. I was once a produce farmer but it was small-scale by comparison. And yeah, it was a lot of work, around 12 hours a day while I was still in grade school. I didn't learn a lot in school, but wasn't brainwashed either. I grew up to be a software engineer when my school told me flat out I'd never be more than "just a farmer" due to low test scores.

Picking - shelling - harvesting. This is a grandpa question. Picking goes back to the days when corn was literally picked by hand one ear at a time. This migrated to when machines still picked the corn on the ear, typically with a pull-behind or tractor mounted picker. When the first grain bins arrived, most folks added an attachment to their tractor mounted picker to shell the corn before it was augured into the wagon - this was called a picker-sheller. Withe dominance of the combine, we began to call it harvesting corn.

I totally enjoy watching your videos. I appreciate the hard work you’re putting in not only on the farm, but in putting out the videos. You and Grant are awesome. Thank you

Decades ago, i was about 12, i was with our neighbor in the field harvesting sugar beets. It was october and the field quite muddy. That field was part level and part it had a rather steep slope downhill. The harvester was towed by the tractor. The harvester had a conveyor, about 6 feet wide, to the right side to unload it. There were a lot of beets on this conveyor, making it right side heavy. On the way back to the next row the tractor drove along the sloped part, the right side pointing downhill tilted i guess about 20-30° to the right, about a foot above the tracks it already had made into the field. Due to the mud the tractor slipped down into the tracks. The harvester slipped down, too. Because of all the beets on the conveyor on the right side and it already being tilted it lost balance and toppled over. There was an open air seat on the left side in the back of the harvester. I was sitting there. I got thrown up in the air, and landed on the wire mesh cage that holds the harvested beets. I got a nice pattern on my back from the wire (well it was not wire, much thicker) mesh. Luckily the seat was on the left side, not on the right side the harvester landed on. I´ll never forget that. So a tool to break a window to get out can be a life saver.

Watching you guys farm is amazing. I grew up many years ago on a small farm. Your equipment, because of the scale you farm at is huge. I picked corn with a one row corn picker, not a combine. Farming has come a long way. You are both a credit to farming and your parents raised you right!

Here in South Central Missouri, we call it Picking corn, combing wheat and soy beans commonly.

It's hard to explain why, but watching your daily videos is absolutely riveting for me. You guys do a fabulous job! Thanks!

Great job on the videos. Really enjoy Laura how you explain everything. Its fun to watch you guys daily and see the farm seeded, growing and now being harvested.

Wonderful video! I think we all enjoy having a reference to the time and date of each portion of the recording. It brings us closer to y’all by being able to imagine what each day was like very recently. Today is Oct. 6, we know you’re out in the fields harvesting and recording your next video, and we’re all looking forward to watching it. 👍🏻 and 🙏 for a great harvest!

"Someone crashed into our corn field!" My first thought = Where's WhistlinDiesel? :D

4:33 This one who appears now is the luckiest creature on earth…He has a beautiful wife🥹🥹

We started with a 2 row corn picker, eventually added a shelling unit on the back of the picker. We also harvested corn for silage. finally had a 4420 combine with a 38 " 4 row head So I can say we have picked, shelled, harvested, and combined corn and beans.

You guys are a pleasure to watch. I get to see the hard part of farming, the fun part of farming, and the love you both have for what you do. I know it's difficult but please keep up with the multiple postings per week. I live vicariously through you two.
