As a guy who has never farmed, has no interest in farming myself, this was really good. Earned a sub from my city slickin, cheek munching self.
😄👍
Im in the same boat. But I do build grain bins so I chalked it up to that.
🤣🤣
I’m here after playing farm simulator 22 lol I grew a great fascination for farm equipment lol
Same for me
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.
That was worth every penny of time to watch and listen. I've been watching both of the channels for years. It's to bad lattes aren't sponsored. Lol
These guys make me wanna quit my desk job and be a farmer
Do it, we need more farmers, just don’t fall into the trap that you have to buy all this stuff to get into it, these guys have over dramatized certain things. Start small, think big and don’t quit!
Have no clue about farming but my grandfather busted his ass farming from nothing to get my lineage where they are. Much respect.
Never was interested in farming. Now? I’m all about it. Thank you for being such a cool group of people.
These guys are awesome and out the back door from me, they are about hour or so from me
"I had no handouts.... i started with some land."
😂❄️
All the damn shorts brought me here guess I’ll sub nice interview
Seen you guys off of a few shorts.
Nice hearing people who know their shit talk about it.
Hard to find good blue collar people who aren’t drowning themselves in some woke bullshit.
New sub here.
The insightful shorts you created and my lack of farming knowledge being from a urban area brought me to this podcast.
This interview is so good. I don't know nuttin about farmin but dang this is a good listen.
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.
Ford 70s and 80s tractor was very reliable only run them !
@@la_mouse7947 now with DEF being in everything and the cold winters I got feed cattle through I honestly can't see enough advantages to the new stuff 77 is on the tmr wagon and the 78 is on the loader bout as perfect of a duo I can think of get the old girls out of the wind plug in the circulating heater and they light off pretty easy and get ready to go t o work
@@valleyviewacres9120 right now im in my ford 555a 1984 backhoe feeding the cows with the only front and reverse gear pretty useful.
I’m amazed at how many farms look like they are big but then you find out they rent most of their land and lease equipment.
I started a job working at a tractor equipment repair company, ive learned more about agriculture in this video then i have working 2 weeks working
Good show
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.
Talks like a farmer, live like a farmer, wise as a farmer. What a great podcast.
editing is the beast. Being true to your self and avoiding clickbait is hard because clickbait sells.....but you have to know what your soul is worth to you.
kudos for sticking to that.
Seeing your shorts finally lead me to your podcast. Well done gentlemen.
I milked cows for 24 years with my dad. No money in small family farm. No time off except for hernia surgery and cancer.
I feel less alone. 😂
Yup so true
I don’t farm but my entire family farms in Wisconsin. I sometimes wish I farmed but this is awesome
1st time watcher.. never thought I'd be interested in listening to a podcast abt farming.. great job
Great pod cast and wow a shout out to onelonleyfarmer for being one of the first farming youtubers
As an auto tech in NJ being a farmer sounds pretty damn nice
Awesome content guys
If yall ever wanna do an interview of a 7ft auto tech shoot me a message
I hope they dl
This was my first video. And I watched the whole way through. Needless to say you picked up a fan.
I'll have to give you a hundred out of hundred stars. Good job guys
It’s been 17 years since I’ve lived in Iowa, clear lake to be exact, but I still have family there. They tell me little farmers are getting pushed out by big corporate farmers. So it’s nice to hear the little guy is making moves.
However what do I know. I’ve been in North Carolina since 2006. It’s weird being suffocated by trees and seeing Tobacco fields
Great discussion , I like when people can be honest & truthful , well put together , stay safe , enjoy & have fun ! Yes it does take alot of hard work ! Daily !
1st gen anyone is someone coming in the industry green as hell with no family ties to the industry. Its not about ownership its about how many generations of knowledge and experience are passed down
First time listening to your podcast but I subscribed to your TH-cam channel and I’m subscribed to Ben’s channel as well
Great show. Thanks for telling your story.
Good show, enjoyed that. I've been watching Ben for a while on TH-cam.
Shine On!
Great show!!! Glad some of the TH-cam farmers show the big picture in farming and not just the glamorous side.
Legendary interview….Glad I found this !!!!❤ keep these Podcast going!!!!!!! I love this
Been watching both channels for a couple years love both.
Thank you for your channel. I started a channel too to discuss about ag for non ag people are asking. We are new. We can learn from your channel.
Great job guys ! Really enjoyed it !
What a great episode!!! Keep it up guys!
Having a molly on your side helps and having a outside income adds to the success of the farm operations?
Good show!! Plus you got my favorite farmer on it for a guest!! Ben Van Roekel!!
Awesome content 👍🏼 Hi from South Africa, keep it up 💯
Hay is pretty tricky, because there is so many variables. When the frost stops, how much water the crops get, what the soil levels are
Love the show… makes me want to keep farming
Great show
Like your talks, you should interview farming fixing and fabricating
Awesome stuff guys. Keep it up
Great job guys
Love this podcast
Good stuff!
Clips brought me here. 1st episode for the daily commute
Hey nice work fellas keep up the good work
Great podcast
Givin' you boys a big 'ol thumbs up an a comment! Love your stuff.
This dudes story is very much like mine. 👍
Network seems to be the advantage of generational farmers.
This is great
Built a house on ten acres. Have the local farmer doing hay on it but eventually like to take it over and either do steers or the hay myself. Lineman by trade so I got a good income for infrastructure. Suggestions?
I think first things first you’re gonna want to talk to the farmer that does your hay. He’d be the one to tell you exactly what you ought to do. Local advice will always be the best hope this helps a little bit
Awesome vid fellas👍great wisdom, great learning👍unfortunately I don’t live in USA which be hard explaining to viewers that here in Australia we similar farming issues as favourite tractor I remember when MF did the run in 80’s, NH vs CaseIH experience, JD forgetting they brought Chamberlain that why they big here in Australia LOL, but been IH raised n have age I don’t mind what colour tractors but combine it would be CaseIH hands down, maybe Gleaner.
Sawyer & Tork, love the podcast! Really interesting! Currently farming in the UK, not enjoying it that much at the moment, wondered if the was any advice about possibly coming to live and work in ag in the US? Thanks again guys for the podcast
I dont know any farmers who have enough help. You would have no problem finding a job... if you are looking to buy a farm of your own then thats another story. Land crazy expensive and very competitive
Thanks!
Gaaaaaaaaaa
my only farming experience is stardew valley 🤷🏽♂️ yet here I am. Subscribed.
I was quoted $1.3-$1.5 per barn. Half a million is pocket change for a barn, good for you.
55:12 😄👍 Manure is the best!
Nice video
Lmbo I love how he mentions how bad price gouging is, and potential price controls, and then he rejects it because people told him it was “communist”
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.
❤❤❤
It’s the regenerative aspect. It’s making sure it’ll be here when our great grand chicldren are dead. It’s getting away from monocultures and adding cover roos or intercropping. Commercially it “doesn’t make sense”.
Is his dad coming on the podcast at some point?
What is dried milk ? -- teat jerky
@36:39 I actually think the prices are going to rise
Cheap Interest is like a drug addiction.
This guy definitely looks like a farmer
have you ever talked about the PFAS issue going on with BioSolids in americas farming ? some cities even giving it away for free to farmers. Tribar is killing michigan farmers, their soil, and animals with their polluting of PFAS.
Retirement can mean that all you know is to find a purpose, work, and hope to gain from experience, i.e. continue to be bullheaded...
No, it’s “What happens behind the barn stays behind the barn.”
💥🙏👍
Semper Fi Farmboys, let's make some grubs
Certain fields require a harder work ethic, shout-out to you guys
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.
Learned the hard way. The bank and FSA aren't there to help you.
LMFAO
Farming has become so cool? When did this happen? You guys do realise that Tork is twenty years younger than the average farmer?
Most of todays generation wouldn’t be able to handle it. You got kids going on tiktok who work for Starbucks, literally crying because they have to work 40 hours. They’re too busy and more focused on what shade of pink their hair should be. I’m genuinely concerned how things will end up in 100 years. Fortunately for me, I’ll be long gone.
Talk to CornStar and get him to get past the BS on an episode!!
If you ever run out of wisdom, it's a sure bet that you have access to knowledge.
Quit whinging quit
I ain’t no liberal.. and I ain’t no redneck neither, but that is one wholesome dude. Especially for bein in his 30’s. I Could listen to him talk all day and I don’t know shit about farming really either. Good pod boys.
I'll take a redneck over a libtard anyday.
