- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มี.ค. 2020
- The sun comes up and shows what has gone down. At least 3 farms were damaged on March 28, 2020 in the EF-1 Tornado confirmed by The National Weather Service. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the storm, with the exception of some livestock. The storm tracked almost 7 miles across mostly rural countryside, right down the middle of the proposed Grant County Solar Energy Center.

Winter Schedule
Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday and Saturday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a TH-cam 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.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
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.

Wonderful to see the line of trucks along the roads, neighbors helping out neighbors.
That was my thought too. So many people are so selfish in their day to day lived anymore but to see a community come together like they did here brings joy and restores faith in one another.
my thoughts as well
it really is
That is what community’s are supposed to do help each other when another neighbor needs it
The wonderful thing about rural America is that most if not all of those people doing the cleanup volunteered, many of them just showed up to help. That's why I'll never live anywhere but a flyover state. God bless you all.
That is what I love about farmers and ranchers - they are wonderful people and help each other!
I hope everyone can recover from this bad storm.
I'm so sorry for all the loss. Tornadoes are horrible. My sister lost her house and my niece was almost picked up by one. Prayers for everyone.
Prayers sent from New Jersey for speedy recovery 🙏🙏
Brother...love watching you and Hannah...in ‘59 when I was 11 yrs lived had bad tornado...took down all barns around house...the worst damage in one of the barns was it broke off steering wheel of my ‘42 John Deere D model that pulled 3bottom 14 in plow....our black angus herd was all over the place...took us over a year to clean up...rebuild..I was 11 yrs old and was a traumatic experience...I now just cash rent my 400 acre farm but still involved with wild food plots to nourish my deer and 200 bird flock of wild turkeys..when I saw this my heart and soul went out to the people with damage..my family been on this farm in KY now 230 yrs...keep up the hard work...there is no better...will be watching your success and rejoicing that our country still has fine young people like you to carry on in the best occupation that exists. Be safe, love you all!
What you said shows the character of the people that live around you. While one would presume that the one family would have much higher priorities they saw to it that the debris on your farm and presumably others got cleaned up. It's good to see a community pull together in a time of need.
What timing for this to happen. Still after seeing the damage no one being injured was incredible.
That’s terrible good luck to everyone effected by this. Good job of raising awareness of this Ryan!
Hey Ryan, hope everyone is doing good there!
Thank God for good neighbors. Although that one farm took a hard hit, there was no loss of life...which is a miracle. Great drone footage.
I work on a farm up in Alma Center. Have seen damage from storms before. Gods speed on a fast recovery.
Good on the neighbors helping clear up the mess left!
Family owned farms and community coming together, that is awesome to see. Together we are strong.
All our encouragement from Spain !! It is a terrible catastrophe !! We hope they come back to life quickly as soon as possible!!
People are hard hit in storms like this, but cattle have nowhere to run. The responsibility falls back on other farmers to take on the animals. God bless you and your neighbors.
I was working on a small dairy when I was young. A tornado passed by the barn right after we started milking. I opened the door and let all the cows into the milking stable. There was 20 cows in the stanchions and 25 more in the walk ways. We were lucky.
Thats awesome of you to help them like that, just made a donation. I am a farmer in the Texas panhandle and the wildfires in 2017 burned down our entire property a flood of support came in from all over the country, we never would have recovered if it had not of been for everyones generosity, those of us in agriculture need to look out for each other
Ryan I'm glad you guys were safe. I'm terribly sorry about your neighbors. So glad that your community came together like my home town (taylorville IL) after the dec 1 tornado.
Wow is all i can say. Glad nobody got hurt and find it pretty amazing how much of the community came together to help
To say truly amazing of the community response to the tragedy is an understatement. The number of vehicles lined up on the roads and edges of fields is phenomenal. The display of compassion from all those people is definitely a heartwarming sight given the situation in our country today. Kudos to all who are involved
So sorry for your neighbor’s losses glad no one was injured stay safe 👍
Has me in tears to see this. Hope for that farm to get back to normal, it’s hard to believe we’re already having tornadoes this year. Hello Ryan greeting from Tigerton, WI.
It is wonderful to see your community pull together like this in support of your relatives and neighbors. So often in city life, we barely know the people who live less than 20 yards from our front doors. People have an outstanding record of digging deep when things happen to get each other back on their feet. In rural America, where life is supposedly insulated, backward, and solitary, the sense of community is just as strong, if not stronger than other places. Helping out just comes naturally because it's what you do practically every day. The damage from this storm was severe, but even a few days later, it is being cleaned up. Buildings will be replaced, the equipment can be fixed, but the livelihood of these people will take a good bit longer to mend. Thank goodness no one was injured! Thank you for posting this footage.
What upsets me more then anything is seeing that little girl lose her horse💔🥺😭
Wonderful seeing neighbor helping neighbor from this bad storm. Stay safe 👍🏾
Hope everyone is fine. Everthing will be better. Best wishes from Brazil !
Seeing this video breaks my heart, but definitely relieved that there wasn't any loss of life or injuries! Continued prayers are with all effected! Glad all made it through! Love seeing the love and helping hands of the communities coming together! Thanks, Ryan, for sharing this video and raising storm awareness to! God bless you and your family! Continued prayers are with your Cousin to!
back in 2012 we had a twister come threw my area and let me say it was bad i have no money to give to these guys but i will lift them in prayer during this time they will be safe threw the clean up and spring field work
Prayers!!
Glad to see the people of grant county and problem many others come out and help a fellow farm farm family
I feel really bad for them but it is really nice to see everyone out their helping not 1 or 2 trucks like 100 all their to just help a fellow farmer out. American strong💪🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
So sad and terrible , very sad to see those farms destroyed. Stay safe everyone
Best wishes to you all from Montana! M.H.
Ryan with what is going on throughout this world it is nice that a community comes together to help out in a emergency
The power of the farming community is strong and a truly great place to be in when eather in need of help or you just get help without asking. We know we don't like to ask for it. Take care of each other and people around us.
I am glad you guys are safe sad for the people who lost stuff
glad everyone is safe an everything can be rebuilt. Much love from southeast wisconsin. keep doin what you do love your content. Wisco for life
Thanks for sharing Ryan. I ask that everyone watching reflect on their own situation and share your blessings with those in need. I believe at some point each of us will be down on our luck and need the help of others to help us through it.
Grew up in Grant county Fennimore specifically and have family living around Potosi and Lancaster so I am glad to know that they are getting the help needed but know that is how everyone is down there. Thank You for sharing scared when I heard where the tornado had tracked so my heart is with you all recovering wish I could do more but hands are tied with my own issues right now. Thank you so much for sharing
It's amazing how fast they got it cleaned up. I had a big tree blow down in my yard several years ago and it was six weeks before I had it all cleaned up. That's the difference between farm folk and city folk. :)
Good luck to them. I hope they have everything back to normal soon.
I never thought that it was the season yet... No loss of life, that is a blessing.
rain coast tornado season starts end of March beginning of April south west Wisconsin is in the very tail end of tornado ally
Lord the video and photos are heartbreaking. I am glad no one was hurt. Thanks for sharing Ryan. God Bless ya all.
Thanks for the update. Happy to hear no one was hurt or lost.
What a blessing that there house is still intact. Praying for them and thankful that no one was injured.
Omg Ryan thank you for posting I was getting annoyed with my surroundings and hopefully everyone is ok
Best wishes to them from the Netherlands from a fellow dairyfarmer
We have been in there shoes. We lost our barn the night before my graduation in 1998. That was a mess. Its was all hands on deck to get the yard cleaned up for my grad party later that day. Glad noone was hurt. I do not wish it upon anyone it's not fun.
At 4:25 to 4:35 off into the horizon, you can see the moun of Sherrill Iowa. The tornado hit about six farms. On one farm it destroyed or damaged every building including the silage bags. To me it was amazing that nobody was injured or killed.
Great video Ryan. When I saw on the news the next day the line that they showed of the tornado path it was pretty amazing how close it was to you guys and you were spared.Kind of crazy that you and Hannah were doing a live stream during that storm. Glad you guys were safe.
So they got alot of Open station cab tractors now... sad but farmers will survive we always do... great to see neighbors pitching in to help
Sunday we had all kinds of wind from the storm and the tornado hope everything is ok up there that is cool other farmers helping each other you don't see that much have a great day Ryan!
Sad to see the damage but great to see all the neighbors coming out to help
Good to see all the people coming together to help cleanup and get things back to a normal asap especially with planting season fast approaching. Hopefully we get bumper crops across the growing regions of North America unlike last yr.
Good to see everyone there to help
Thank God no one was killed . I hope the Insurance companies make good one there part
You always think it will never be you, until it is you. I got hit by one in summer 2018. House took a little damage but was still standing and livable. But my garage that was 12’ from the house was destroyed and an antique vehicle, my pride and joy at the time, in my garage had some damage. Quite minor considering the fact the garage was just literally gone. My pregnant wife was luckily at work. I was home but left before it hit because I knew it was coming. I watched it unfold from about 1/4-1/2 mile away.
Its hard to put into words how it feels seeing something you worked that hard for be that damaged/destroyed by something out of your control.
But the good news is, everything can be rebuilt. We had family, neighbors and even strangers help us those first few days. Ive never asked for anything from anybody, and probably wouldnt have either. I didnt expect help from anyone, but man did I appreciate it when they showed up. It happened on a friday. That sunday morning, a local church picked my house to be the one they would help clean up instead of their having their normal church service. I didnt know they were coming until they pulled in. Theres no way my wife and I could ever thank them enough, or anyone else enough for what they did for us.
I can report that within a few days the mess was cleaned up and within a year, my house was repaired and the garage rebuilt.
Like Mr. Roger’s mother said, look for the helpers, there are always people helping.
It may not seem like it now, but a year or so from now, itll be just a memory.
Hey Ryan!! Hey Hannah!! We had tornado warnings that day in Iowa. Does seem awful early for that.
Spooked me for sure, we had one hit our town 2 years ago!
It’s great to see such strong community response. God bless
At least the milk barn and milking equipment didn't get taken out, that be a long process to replace that.
Mother Nature is astonishingly powerful. You have the greatest community spirit Ryan. That Solar panel thing is not looking good for safety. I can’t imagine how scary the storm could be in the daytime, let alone in the dark.
Thankful that you and your family are ok. Can not image what those that were hit are going through. How are they milking, etc. Thankful no one was hurt. It always amazes me how some buildings are standing as if nothing happened and others right beside them are completely destroyed.
The second farm you flew over with the flatten barn, I was there two months ago picking up soybeans for dairyland seed.
The number one thing is that no people or animals were hurt from the storm.they need to be thankful on that thing thst is the most important thing in my mind
So sad that this has happened, but it's heart warming to see the community coming to the aid of the affected. My faith in human kind has been partially restored.
Farmers helping each other...must have something in my eye.
John Reep Us farmers help out each other all the time
Strongest community in the world. No other people would drop everything to help out the other for free. If our government & rural bashing people could learn this,our world's greatness would be endless.
Thanks for telling a story that may have gone unnoticed during the stay at home orders. Shared with an Ag Community page on Facebook and hopefully some folks can help.
From a Canadian beef farmer to a nother farmer hope you guys are doing ok
Blessings to those affected, many are thinking of field work, but you can't predict things like this.
Love the videos keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks for the positive energy Nolan!
Prayers for the families
I feel bad for those families, I know what they're going through.
Awesome video Ryan Keep it up
Where I'm at in KS, we see storms coming through, we start watching for tornado's, we get them almost daily like OK does. Really not much one can do. Only good thing from this is, no one got hurt. I've lived through 2, seen many, most dangerous ones are, "sidewinders" and "rain wrapped". They can move in any direction quicker than one might think they can. Damage done will be felt for a good number of yrs. Cheers :)
No words, Mother Nature is mad at someone. Be safe.
Oh man, that really blows. The farm at Substation Rd that had just put up the new shed is very much a landmark to me when I am driving along 61 on my way between where I live in IL and where I’m from in MN., and I’ve pulled off on Substation road on some trips to sneak in some moo photography a time or two.Too bad their new shed blew away. I’ll definitely put in what I can to help them out.
Glad you Guys are ok great video
Was watching the films from the aftermath of the Jonesboro, Arkansas tornado today and ..holy crap.
What it did to those double stack transcon trains was just horrendous for a March storm.
As someone living in the country in OK, who chased tornado's all through the 70's...and was in Moore, Ok on a really bad day not too long ago..
Ya'll stay safe out there.
Praying for you all!
Everyone is ok, that’s the main thing!
Great shots!
I think Madison area had a tornado years ago in the winter months.
glad no one was hurt,
I so would donate but when my business has been shut down for 3 weeks, due to a funny looking sticky ball, just paying the bills is our #1 priority right now. Stay healthy my friends
Glad everyone is ok hope everything will come back together soon for you and everyone else
Nobody was killed - that's good - it will take some time and money to rebuild - stay strong and good luck to everybody - you will get thru this
Great vid! My friend lost their barn in central iowa a few years ago
Thanks for sharing Ryan. Glad to know no was heart.
Great video, praying for every one who was effected, keep up the great content
So sorry for all the damage from the tornado it sucks 🌪🌪🌪
Please Stay SAFE
We had a wild fire that tripped me out. 3 miles wide. My neighbors lost 11 buildings I lost tree’s which I’m not bitching about.
It's pretty cool the other farmers and the community rally behind one another to help out when people are in need when with in a min everything you worked for over decades are gone but everything can be rebuilt
At least no crops were planted, last year we had one go there our area 3 hours north of you , but ours was in late summer
The weather has been crazy this year I'm glad to see they are ok. Carl
If this was the storm that came through iowa that night, i knew something was going on. We kinda kept an eye on the storm only because this time of year from west and south, storms dont normally go to well, and phone went off about tornado in iowa, decent day and it started to get really humid around 8 or so. And im in south central wi so it sucked a lot of warm moist air to feed it. We stayed in t shirts until about 11 or so.
Great video Ryan
I'm glad everyone is ok stay safe and God bless
I don’t wish this on anyone.. I will donate to the go fund me. Nice work with the video Ryan. One thing I liked was all the cars lined up along the road. I’m assuming all family and friends helping the Bartels clean up.
That's sad man, hope everyone is doing good....
Nice to see the go fund me doing good. It’s probably only a drop in the bucket but I know it’s for a good cause. Every stay safe out there. God bless America!🇺🇸
