  • "Life of a Farmer" features farmers of different ages on farms of different sizes and types. The documentary features the values and traditions they have in common and the challenges of adapting to new technologies, passing the farm to the next generation and lessons learned from a life on the farm. The families are not related, but their lives are all devoted to farming some of Ohio's most common crops on farms in Urbana, St. Paris, Delaware, New Paris and Plain City. Through five different stories, this special Our Ohio documentary seeks to tell one story: the life of an Ohio farmer.
    The five farmers profiled are Abe Hostetler, a 90-year-old retired farmer; Kenny Lensman, a 53-year-old farmer; Tim Jordan, a 22-year-old farmer; Luke Davis, a 14-year-old aspiring farmer; and Randi and Randy Dibert and their three-month-old daugher, Lydia.

      We have over 200 acres on our dairy farm. It's LOTS of very hard work with little to no pay. The only thing keeping us going is the things we get instead of money. Great family, a beautiful property, and an awesome uniqe life!

    Farmers family are a gift from God, without the farmers, I could imagine what and where this world would go. Those land to till and the rains are the food of the body and the souls. My grandfather is also a farmer, and I witness how he loves to care for his farming, and we are self sufficient, more than enough for our needs.

      In the states that legally sell Marijuana crops, either for medical or recreational use our Government has assured that only multi-million dollar corporations can qualify to produce commercial crops. The American farmer needs to rise up and take his future back. Small farmers can compete and produce great products if they are not restricted out of the fair market by bureaucratic regulations and crony capitalism.

    Wow! I was actually also brought up and grew up surrounded by farms. When I was a kid I really love taking care of lambs, goats, and other farm animals. My parents had a farm tho I was not even born. But I was able to experience this kind of life. It was really amazing working with nature. They won't yell at you., You can have your spare time if you needed to. You can actually have your time whenever you have problems., just go in the middle of the farm and shout so loud. I did that many times when I was around 18.. I loved everything being a farmer myself. Now that I am now got by the beauty of our coutry's city (working now for a group of lawfirm) I really miss this kind of stuff. I'm getting sick of working with computers and papers but farming did not even make me feel being sick. I so love being a farmer. I hope there's still opportunity for me out there for being a farmer. That is my destiny I think, being a farmer is the greatest job I would get.

    Many farmers are committing suicide in India.Government should educate farmers on farming technologies and should provide subsidies if the harvesting fails because of rain or drought. That's why many farmers are educating their children not be farmers and most of the younger people have migrated to city to work in IT and other sectors..! This is my story too !!

      crop insurance is supposed to help pull people through the bad years but of course that's just another cost too. we're also at the mercy of the free market and having to compete with countries like China and Brazil where modern farming is just starting to really take off. some of those countries can also get 3 crops a year which of course helps drive up supply and drives down the prices farmers can get for crops

      Criganian if youve read petas facebook, i can tell you right now that 99,99% of all that is fake bullshit. Might happen in 1 of 100 farms. Cows dont suffer at all in modern farms. They should be even happier now than if they were completely free, they are safe from wolfs and bears, they always get enough food, a varm place to spend the winters. The only thing they give is the milk, but they would have given it to the calves anyway. And the calves doesnt really miss out on it, they get it from bottles from a human instead untill they are later released back with the cows when they are old enough.
