    How Farms Work is a CZcams channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    The Kuster family farm is the real American farm/ranch operation. They span generations starting with great grandfather to today's generation. The family farm lives and strives to succeed every year plus grow and expand to ensure future generations will have the opportunities to continues forward.

    • @gyixtao6892
      @gyixtao6892 Před 6 lety +2

      yup, that's about the age I was when I started field work on my grandparents farm. I wish I could have stuck with it, but my rebellious teenage years sent me down a different path. I miss the farm, but I love being an electchicken too ;)

    • @SlipShodBob
      @SlipShodBob Před 6 lety

      superliner 101 That was just me I was often called midget at school because I was so small at 9 my grandad would work the pedals and I would steer. Thankfully by the time I was actually old enough to legally be allowed to drive them in the yard and fields which is 13 here I could just work the pedals then I usually had the job of stacking the bales in block in the field ready to be brought in and straw chopping in the winter to bed the pens up and run the lambs out to the fields.
      Now even Ryan makes me feel old and I'm not even in my 40's yet!

    • @SlipShodBob
      @SlipShodBob Před 6 lety

      Gyix Tao don't know why I always find it a little disconcerting with electricians being know as sparkies it conjures up images of hair styles like Doc Brown.
      My job when I was 9 to 12 at haymaking was going around the outside making sure all the hay was ranked in the row and neatening the corners if they needed it.

      John Haas Um, no. Thats due to proper parenting and being shown proper responsibility. Shown that there is no such thing as a 9-5 job and seeing that if something is not done it can cost you money and valuable time on a later date. Proper parenting with actual dicipline learn such things. I spent half my time as a child on a farm. The other half was in the passenger seat of a semi. Time is money. If those wheels are not turning, you are not earning. You learn from others mistakes also your own. How you take care of them is how responsable youll be. Making excuses and blaming game does not work.

Also we bag our corn we feed to our cattle, it’s practically the same thing that they do for silage, except it takes around an hour to unload a tandom grain truck. And we run around 600 head of cattle in the winter.

    Wow, amazing to see an 11 year old driving that tractor like that. It was very cool to see..
