    Very much appreciate farmers, and I sincerely mean that. But time is running out for this world. The Bible says that man shall work all day for a loaf of bread. Choose LIFE. Choose Jesus. And "well done" my good and faithful brother ... well done.

    I understand how important farmers are! Everything we consume or use daily is damn near tied to agriculture. I kind of play farm I guess you could say on a tiny scale. Hoping to increase size someday! Hard when you ain't born into it. Land doesn't come easy...or cheap. It's crazy...many farm millenial kids want to leave the farm and want nothing to do with it. I want to get into farming. And wish I had been raised with farming.
    Awesome video, as always. Love these. Good advice from a good feller.

    Cracks me up when farmers think they are the "backbone of the country". They couldn't even make it if it weren't for the engineers, foundry workers, equipment manufacturers, & all the other thousands of workers that make up our current system.
