You're probably one of the most underrated channels on RUclips, I myself am very interested in geography and geopolitics in general, and your videos exactly hit that spot! Thank you!
with this kind of quality, you should have a team. it might be the best edited and the most practical, for understanding and for the direct informal videos i've ever seen.
wow, dude, this straight plays like a high-quality documentary. Love the hard work man, I hope you are able to make your money's worth for the amount of time you put into this vid.
I literally just had the strangest corn content consumption binge, and this perfectly fit the bill. Love it. As a boy of the corn belt I like the corn. Corn content that is. Ethanol is and always will be a really weird idea
I'm really glad that I found your channel, you have the quality of the big educational RUclipsrs and I'm sure that you will eventually become one of them, too. You really deserve to blow up in popularity!
These videos are amazing! One day, RUclips will randomly recommend one of your videos to a bunch of people and your channel will start growing rapidly.
Like I assume many of the people here, I came from AustinMcconell (sorry for the ruining his name) Now I’m sure not everyone that watched that video actually checked out the channels. Shoutout videos just don’t interest people that much. But I decided to check out the channels mentioned, and out of all of them, you seemed the most interesting. I’ve always been interested in content like this, so I thought it’d be a great channel. It is! Great editing, everything was clear and well explained. I love this channel! Super underrated!
As a former Hoosier seeing the corn industry on a macro level is interesting. Wonderful presentation too many videos have a dry death by power point feel but I am pleasently surprised. You have a new sub keep up the good work.
Oh my God, you have so much improved your video just from the previous to this that I am obligated to say you are on a very good path. Much congrats and many thanks for this quality video!
I love you have integrated agriculture policy, politics and geopolitics into it. Great video editing as always. Keep up the effort mate, i really hope you grow to be big channel.
Thank you so much for talking about this issue and address the complexity of it! You really expanded my knowledge on this topic and put so much work into each video. I honestly cannot believe you aren’t one of the top channels out there! Please keep at it!
Allowing farmers to compete without subsidies is bad because supply and demand are an instantaneous process and growing food takes months of preparation. If you plant corn when the price is high, and then the price drops, you have to either sell it at a loss or destroy it. Then you don't plant for next year. If everyone doesn't plant for next year, then there is no food! Food is essential and shortages are deadly. Thus, it's my belief that the current government policy of subsidization is driven by a "more is better than not enough" mindset. Pure supply and demand works best for industries without sowing-reaping lag, with goods that can be stored for a long time, and with products that won't kill us if they're scarce.
My mom recently discovered she has a severe allergy to corn, and so we need to read the ingredients of so many objects and we were surprised to find just how much food uses corn starch and syrup. To say the least she's had a lot struck from her diet
Corn can be insidious: you might not make the connection to what you ate if you're basically a bit sick all the time because pretty much everything you eat has corn in it. It took me years to get diagnosed with a corn allergy. Then I went to Walmart and had culture shock realizing there was almost nothing in the place that wasn't on my list of foods to avoid.
Man I am speechless! The amount of research needed to make a video like this is so huge. That editing should have taken hours and hours especially when you work alone. You deserve more 👏
@@GoodtoKnowYT yeah I understand. I also wanted to to make educational benefits videos. (My primary aim is not to make money out of it, I am passionate about it) I am struggling to find time and a good source to learn all these editing for free. Hope I figure everything out. Anyways you just go, You will bang it.
Amazing! I have high interest in all parts of agriculture, I'm studying it. You have impresed me with the quality of your reaserch on all of your videos. Thanks for the effort and entertayment, hope your chanel grows soon, you deserve much much more.
Corn farmer here, I absolutely respect the research you had to do for this video, and it has brilliant production quality, however there are a few issues I have with it. First of all, the miss-use of factory farming, or at least having it come across as more prevalent than it really is. 98% of US farms are family owned, and they account for 89% of total production. That said, we don’t like those farms either, especially since they’re the large part of media focus and perpetuate a lot of misconceptions about what we actually do. In addition, I don’t believe that the Lake Erie bloom was a result of agricultural. It probably played a part, but I don’t think that was the larger cause. First of all, the main limiting factor in algae blooms is phosphorus, and phosphorous doesn’t really run off unless you have soil running off. This is because soil has a negative charge, and phosphorous positive, so they don’t like to separate. In addition, the idea of farmers over applying commercial fertilizers is just stupid. We run a business here, meaning we have income and costs. Laying on the fertilizer may give some yield, but if it’s running off that’s literally wasted money, meaning it cuts into your profits big time, fertilizer is not cheap. That said, I still respect the effort put into the video, and wish you the best in the future
Great video! The stories of how we ended up with monoculture agriculture is fascinating, but also scary, as it begs the question on whether or not we can change the industry for the better and support future generations :/
Hey man, thanks for the awesome video. it is very informative and well researched. I hope you keep doing this. Success doesn't come easy but if you persist it will come to you. Thank you than you again. Have a good day.
Nice video, however some question 1) If the corn has problem with oversupply does other grain like oat, wheat and barley has under supply problem since noticeable large number of farm being convert into harvesting corn? 2) If corn is too cheap to sell, why the farmer do not try planting another grain? No government incentive? Lack of finance or not suitable type of soil to plant different grain? 3)Since there;s large number of harvested corn so I can assume that US would have no problem of food supply during emergency period?
This indeed is a wonderful video, very well researched and put. I would love one on animal welfare as you mentioned, whenever you feel like it. Btw did you consider a patreon account already? I would support you $2 a month!
Oh and the algae bloom in lake Erie. You shoukd do a video about that! I dont think its caused as much by agricultural runoff as you think. That lake is my home and id gladly drink a glass of algae to prove a point lol
good video, in Germany the production of biogas out of corn is pretty big, almost for the same reasons. Would have been nice to include this as well.I think the forecast at the end is a very dark one, showing also the weaknes of the american democratic system because change isn´t as easy.
@@GoodtoKnowYT that's unfortunately the limitation of RUclips, although longer videos could be watched way more with a higher viewerbase. One suggestion for another video: the great recession with look on Europe (especially Germany), to bring it into a bigger picture, like this corn video. But this ist probably a topic for a whole yt series....
My understanding is that 40% of corn grown today is used for ethanol...that is a completely insane use of farming, compounded by subsidy's to encourage corporate farms to grow even more. Beef prices are high, largely because of these inflated corn prices.
Yo I got high, had a corn tortilla and thought damn what else is made with corn, but now im confused as to who I want to support politically, how the fuck did I get here
Butz viewed basic protections against economic depression "socialism?" I... what definition of socialism is he even using here Edit: and then his policy to make it less "socialist" caused the market to crash. That's funny in a tragic way
6:13 not entirely correct!!! liquid manure and/or solid manure are often used in biogas or biomethane plant to produce energy!! the bioproduct of this process, digestate, is used as a fertilizer! Im suprised you didnt mention this, it shows that however good your research was it wasn't complete
This format of video makes it hard to concentrate on the narrator, the music the keyboard clicks and the non stop changing images. I just want to hear you speak naturally
There isn't any actual scientific evidence to link HFCS to obesity or diabetes any differently than if sugar was used in its place. It being "metabolized differently" only has one effect, you may not feel as full as you otherwise would when you consume it. That's it. So it's only connection to weight gain in that regard is people choose to then eat more afterward. That is not the same thing at all as it actually causing the weight gain or obesity or diabetes. Source example: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3679479/ I would hope better science is used in future videos. As a molecular biologist myself, I was rather disappointed with this part of the video.
Complete nonsense. Overproduction was relative, meaning that corn was only overproduced in regards to solvent demand. Under capitalism, the purchasing power of the great majority of consumers - hired workers - is confined within extremely narrow limits. So capitalists destroy the "surpluses" in order to stop the price from falling.
Hi All! Please consider sharing this video with your friends as it would help the channel grow :)
