    I consider myself a 6th gen farmer, I started my own operation after high school with minimal help, no machinery, no land and grew my business into 2500ac with a custom farm buisness on the side and as of 2yrs ago no operating loan. Against ALL odds I made it but still fight to keep it everyday. Stay positive and keep moving forward with FAITH. Love this channel ! Cheers

    my grandparents, dad and uncle were dairy farmers 20 years ago, lived good off of 20-30 cows, alot of work everyday,, no holidays or rest days. anyway over here in northern europe its not worth being a small dairy farmer anymore, today the build barns to house 150 cows so thats the level its at today. we just grow crops like wheat and rapeseed because its easier, but we dont have enough land to profit off of it so we basically work free because all the crop covers the expenses of the machines, fertilizer etc. we just do it for fun i guess, our family has been farmers from my dads side for generations so its not a thing i plan on doing but props to guys farming fulltime, cant imagine the long work days and a small profit. farmers are so unappreciated. may god bless all of you. great podcast by the way.

    Iowa has so many experienced, smart young farmers. This was a great watch. Will subscribe. I do wish they would have referenced how the government needs farmers to farm and hasn’t allowed responsible farmers to lose money in recent years. If inputs stay as is, and corn goes sub 4, there’s going to be FSA programs that help.

    I run a cattle ranch in Canada and I got to say you talking on the new equipment prices is bang on. I run a 78 and a 7710 I doubt I'll ever run a new tractor those two tractors (which I truly believe is the last series of tractors that were true "hall of fame" tractors) but those tractors least you can wrench on them less to go wrong. And plus in todays age with DEF and being in such a cold environment I really can't figure on a new tractor.

      And I will say it was easier back than my dad was born in the tail end of the dirty thirties. He was going in 87 when interest hit 22.75% up here in Canada. It sunk a lot of guys who owed money. But as he said fuel was .43 a gallon...., I'm paying over a buck a litre now. You could buy a baler for 20K now it's pushing 80.

    Land prices and equipment costs have destroyed American Agriculture. Land prices at least make sense, as a finite resource (Still Way Too High). These prices mostly come from farmers outbidding each other at auction, and driving prices to absolutely insane levels. The Equipment costs are inexcusable. These are way too high, and just like the automotive industry, the only way to bring them down is to stop buying them entirely.

    Dairy farmers get attack because a small percentage now it use to be more use lagoons. It causes asthma in kids so basically they were killing there customers. We had a diary gal who did the logical thing she mostly pasture her cattle but when she brought them in she squeezed out all the water from the manure. Put that into a biodigester. When you visit her creamery you wouldn't even know cows where there unless you heard the moo when they were looking for the next paddock. The modern farmer has to be able to function like a good neighbor voting power or no voting power for there area. 56:11 I think what killed the dairy is the hunt for milk instead of milk solids. They had a genetics issue and lean to heavily into the subsidy. Kind of like our corn and soy guys lean to heavily into it and destroy themselves every couple of years.
