Spotted a hungry dog near the truck. The cautious plan: help without a bite. It's a delicate operation. #laurafarms #JDvance #dogrescue #animalwelfare #compassion #kindness #rescue

Spotted this huge, dusty white dog outside the car. Wondering where it came from and how to find its owner. Seems friendly, but a bit uncertain. #laurafarms #JDvance #dog #rescue #stray #founddog #animal

Noticed a skinny, dirty dog at the farm today. Worried about the water quality it's been drinking. #laurafarms #JDvance #animals #rescue #dogs #compassion #farmlife

Woke up to a super windy and cold Nebraska morning after a few calm, warm days. Feeling a bit disappointed after getting spoiled by the recent weather. #october7th #laurafarms #nebraska #weather #windy #disappointed

Grant and I need to clear the building to run conduit. The garage door opener's extension cord is buried, shorting out when it rains – definitely not safe. Time to do it right. #october7th #laurafarms #electrical #renovation #diy #safety #conduit

The building’s front is clear: tractor, two trailers, Ranger, and a parked pickup are gone. Next up: the combine. #october7th #laurafarms #harvest #farming #agriculture #machinery #rural

The combine is next on the agenda... wait, was the battery left on this whole time? That's a good sign. Perfect. #october7th #laurafarms #tech #gadgets #innovation #testing

Grant and I are adding power and lights to this uninsulated shed. The goal is to make it usable after dark and see stored items more easily. #october7th #laurafarms #DIY #homeimprovement #projects #shedbuild

Just finished the midterm voting process. It's crucial for everyone to participate and make their voices heard. #laurafarms #midterm voting #election #civicduty #democracy #vote

Semi just showed up to take it to its new home. The silence during that moment said it all. #laurafarms #midtermvoting #election #politics #voting #democracy #civicduty

The Stellar fuel trailer is pretty awesome. Ready to get out there. #laurafarms #midterm voting #politics #election #usa #vote

The military truck project is over. After a lot of fun, big tires, and modifications, it's time to say goodbye as it heads to a new home. Sad day, but it was a great project. #laurafarms #midterm voting #project #truck #offroad #restoration #mechanic

This filming setup has just under 1,000 gallons of diesel, 100 gallons of DEF, a gas pump, a gas-powered air compressor, fuel filters, and retractable reels. It's certainly the nicest thing to have on hand. #laurafarms #midterm voting #filming #production #equipment #diesel #generators

Taking out this bar and hoping for the best. Dad helped with the bigger monitors, so maybe this part won't be so heavy after all. #laurafarms #inktober #DIY #homeimprovement #tutorial #makingof #construction

Getting ready for planting season. Also, a special gift is being prepared for a retiring grandpa. The gifts are going to be amazing. #laurafarms #inktober #gardening #homesteading #family #gifts

Monitor bars removed from a tractor. Holders, bars, and extenders are aftermarket add-ons, not original equipment. #laurafarms #inktober #tractor #farming #mechanics #aftermarket

A peek inside the tractor cab – current setup on display, followed by the unboxing of a new bar ready for installation. #laurafarms #inktober #farming #agriculture #agtech #tractors

Prepping for planting season means making the tractor feel like home. Upgrades like a solid phone mount and this aftermarket cab make long days in the field much more bearable. #laurafarms #inktober #agtech #farming #tractors #plantingseason

Unboxing a new tractor bar, complete with a discussion on its weight and the anticipated installation process. The real work is about to begin. #laurafarms #inktober #tractor #DIY #mechanics #tools

Essential to pick up implements before backing up; disks ramming the ground is a bad outcome. After finishing the cornfield, I've moved to soybeans, requiring different settings due to less organic material. The implement is pitched more upwards for the shallower work. #laurafarms #nebraska #ag
