Think farming and the visuals of a grumpy farmer driving a rickety tractor through the field comes to mind. If it\u2019s India in question, that image becomes an emotionally loaded one with an anguished-looking, emaciated farmer reining in reluctant bullocks on a parched field under the scorching sun.\u00a0 Moreover, one normally doesn\u2019t expect farmers to be vlogging about their day, with a pro-level camera setup, slick edits and\u00a0 creating viral YouTube videos. But we\u2019re living in interesting, if pandemic-wrecked times. 21 year-old American YouTuber \u201cLaura Farms\u201d offers a refreshing insight into the elusive world of farming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laura takes the viewers inside her \u2018office\u2019 – a John Deer farming tractor – while expertly navigating it and planting seeds the entire time. If the idea of a 21 year college graduate who spends better time of her day sowing corn and soya beans isn\u2019t fascinating enough, it\u2019s the setup inside of the tractor that throws one off.\u00a0 At first glance, the inside of the tractor looks like an aircraft\u2019s cockpit – with as many as 5 computer screens and a slew of sophisticated paraphernalia. Laura then goes on to explain how the machinery works, the process of sowing and harvesting, along with a demo of some of the equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThen we change the brushes from being into a 45 degree angle into an 80 degree angle. Then I go on into auto steer. As the seed drops down, there\u2019s a suction in the seeds. This is the monitor that\u2019s uploading data into the cloud.\u201d, she explains with the finesse and tone typically associated with a makeup tutorial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laura\u2019s personalised tour into her day, her craft and her afterhours life as a normal 21-year-old makes one rethink the world of farming as her rapidly growing subscriber base would attest to.\u00a0 \u201c<\/span>I never knew that there was so much technology in a tractor. I also figured that there would be some old grumpy man driving one of those things.\u201d, goes one comment<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0 \u201cIt is really very interesting to see where our food comes from, how it is planted, grown, harvested, brought to market\u201d, says another.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
