Growing up 1st gen Mexican immigrant my parents always instilled in us the beauty the ground provides us ❤and I’m glad I was able to find this podcast. I always had major respect for the farmers and thank you guys for your honest work.
Yo, I'm from Baltimore MD so it's safe to say I know not a Damm thing about farming but for the oddest of reasons I luv this show. I will 💯 % tell everyone about it pretty sure no one I know will give 0 fu$ks but I sure as hell do thanks a lot for taking the time to make and post these videos!
Farmers are great! They’re really caught in a tug of war of sorts at any given time. Seems they are the first feel the bureaucracies affects from government.
I am a farmer. I raise a few hogs and cattle.. I enjoy these guys. The topics are real
We had pork chops last night from Farmer Grade. I can honestly say they were the best chops wife and I have had! 🌟
As far as the skills and investing in yourself. One of the biggest thing I try to tell guys my age is be able to work at a desk and with your hands. Older generations didn’t have this issue because you either worked in a trade or were behind a computer/paper work. But today with the integration of technologies, if you can set up something on software and install it physically and make it all talk and work correctly you are worth almost endless amounts. If you can fix mechanical issues and make them work with electrical systems and that all can tie into a program you know at least how to troubleshoot, you are so valuable to a company because you can be sent to any job site for any problem. You might not use it all all the time but you are so flexible any company worth working for will make it worth while for you to stay there
I’m also from Maryland and enjoy a show about farming in Iowa. Nice to hear what I consider actual conversations with opinions
150 acres tillable...plant punkins, beans, corn for corn maze, sunflowers, hay for hayrides for family type events, photo shoots, charge admission.
Then lease some bowhunting rights. Sell all the crops locally.
If any are trees. Log some of it, if doable.
A Texas cattle rancher told me back in the '90s "If you owe $60,000 the bank owns you, if you owe $600,000 then you own the bank." Adjust the numbers for today's financing and you will see how right Tork is.
Farm life does this apply to the normal home owner
@@jamesalbrecht418 imma say no right now seeing as housing is becoming a risky area of ownership! people cant afford to pay rent! but now a farmer in dept will pay as long as he keeps working hard! banks need flowing money! for lending money makes them money!
I am Irish and my father always said that if you owe the bank a bit of money you worry however if you owe them a lot of money they do the worrying for you! I have a question for you American guys why do you guys use a volume as a measure for your crops? We use a weight in Europe, most of us look at a crop in a tonne per area basis as bushel weight is variable for every crop and particularly between crops. Basically I convert maize at 40 to 1 ie. 40 bushels of corn converts to about a tonne , or 1000kgs . Off course you guys have less lbs in a ton than we have in an imperial ton I am not sure what you’re pounds per ton is but here we have 2240 pounds in a ton ie 20 cwt per ton and 112 pounds in a hundred weight which means that a imperial ton is almost the same as a metric tonne so everyone has a similar idea of what a tonne is.
I would agree with that, we own a bunch of rental property with mortgages on it. It’s amazing how much the bank wants you to be successful when you have a few million of their dollars tied up.
@@Andy-ix2ox Because storage is measured in volume, not weight.
The studies used to promote post WWII agricultural practices used non fertilized test plots to compare against the plots that used synthetic N alone, to show that chemical fertilizer equated to higher soil organic matter due to the extra tons more of crop residue after harvest. Of course it is better than mining the soil. But they all LOST soil organic matter. Studies done by the British and Denmark show that incorporation of manure has always resulted in an increase. Their might be a balance in between the two.
Incorporating better tillage practices and using manure as part of your fertility program means you kept 7 inches of rain. Believe me, I get plenty of eye rolls at the coffee shop when I say all we really need is 10” of rain to farm, if we keep it all. Conventional till, pure synthetic operations don’t keep 10”, even if 40” fell from the sky.
It is impressive you did so well on just 7”. Congrats 🎉
I love the show probably because Tork is my age and I’m from Monmouth, IL so these guys are from home.
I am 24, I have been an IBEW electrical worker since I graduated in 2018. I truly believe nobody wants to put the work and go threw the shit to earn the knowledge and craft of trade! I would love to come on and talk about the trades for our generation.
Your very wise Tork! Scary how many industries have fallen victim to this structure
This is the only show I allowed notifications on. I will be buying full pig if that is possible. Hell maybe I will take a drive if i have too
I love barn talk. Live just north in MN. Been wanting to start working on securing my food supply end to end . I believe the lack of this is the reason for so many illnesses common in America
Thanks for the listen during harvest! Hope y’all are doing well. Have a blessed day 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Pork is the GOAT
7" of rain! That's pretty good. In Minnesota we got about 2" and then 7" over the past 7 days. It will probably be mid October when farmers get back into the fields.
Ya nailed it at the end there Tork
Have a friend in the 90's that said he would have lost less money taking his feeder pigs to the dead stock place verse finishing them.
Moms cousin died from a heart attack choring pigs in the morning they found him late in the day they had to have a closed casket service
Yikes
thanks for another great video, good to hear the yields are doing alright!!!!!
These Ole boys have a great program; extremely informative and insightful. Awesome!!
Found you on podcast love the show! Absolutely love the like-minded folks please keep it coming. I’ve told all my coworkers about this show
I wonder if the cause of improved yields is the various activities like no-till improving overall soil quality? That seems to be the claim from the sustainable/notill crowd.
Edit: 29:00 - for a 150 acres farm, if it is a very 'pretty' property close enough to a big city, hosting weddings can be a lot of work but very profitable.
With a lot of modern tractors, the only real difference in a given series is the tuning that they leave the factory with. A 7R 210 and 250 have the same transmission, differentials, etc. So essentially aftermarket tuning gives guys the ability to uprate an already owned piece of equip vs. buying new. That’s a big reason why the manufacturers hate it lol.
Just speaking fro. A computer tunning side. Ive got a bmw m3 that came with 509hp with a quick computer tune and new airinduction ive now got 650hp .its crazh they keep all that stuff locked in a computer tune
Their was two guys near Mio,Michigan that ended up killing two hunters, chopped them up and fed them to pigs in the 1985, took 18 years for some one to come forward to finally lock them up.
Regarding Prop 12...when I was Sawyer's age I would have thought the same way that he does...that the people who wrote the bill have no clue of the implications of some of the requirements of the legislation...but since I am closer to Tork in age I now believe the people who wrote the bill (most likely the large players in the industry and their lobbyists...the politicians themselves don't actually write most of this stuff, it is handed to them by the lobbyists) have a very good idea on how it will impact the industry. Totally agree with Sawyer on young people going into the trades...in years to come tradesman with a little common sense and a bit of gumption with be able to write their own ticket.
Thanks!
A lot of the yield of corn is the breeding of the corn today.
Great discussions and content, you should cover seed! Nothing more crazy than growing seed for people. Beef and hogs don’t even come close.
Hey juar curious but whybis growing seed so difficult seems like something a lab would do
My great-grandparents had a farm hand in the 30s and apparently back then you could drink the rubbing alcohol they used for cows this guy strained the rubbing alcohol through bread and would drink it anyway something happened he ended up incapacitated in a hog pen and they ate him don't know how he died but they ate him
I totally agree with you on the trades . Been saying it myself for years
LoL, I just finished turning a livestock ranch into a tree farm.
Lovin' the show fellas. Have been out of the farming atmosphere for a number of years. From Wisconsin, and have seen so many dairy farms close down, bought up, or run out. I miss field work, but don't miss the 7-10 conventional bale loads a day. Lol
When loading pigs seems when that last push to shut them in a pen they always like to come down the ramp after you shoe them back up few times
I grew up with hogs and worked for a hog farmer, had to drag out many half eaten hogs from the night before. One time a hog managed to get a hole in the fiberglass paneling and ate the insulation behind it until he couldn't live.
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
The problem isn't in your electric system on your grain dryer, I bet that the electric company Voltage is up and down in your rural area and the breaker senses the load relative to the supply and when supply drops low it trips breaker. Of it wasa short in your system it would throw immediately when the bad part in system got hot , I am vegetable farmer and a heavy equipment mechanic ran into that with my potato grader wait until peak load is off the system and run it then
Watching y’all from up here in Alaska
Hahaha when it comes to pigs getting rid of people. I always tell my wife and daughter. That when she starts bringing boys over I getting a few feeders just to scare the young lads.😂 Let's just say there not impressed with my idea.
UNDERSTAND No one is ever good enough to marry your daughters.
@@wanderingonfaith6294 Very true. God help the one that does.
my dads uncle had a heart attack fell in the pig trough and they found him a while later! and ya as the story goes it is true!
I have $, but no farm. Where do you learn about farming? Ag schools, college, apprenticeship?
yeah there was a killer up in BC canada he was dumping the bodies into the pig pen. grandma would always tell stories of the pigs getting after a calf that got into the pig pen somehow.
Great Podcast! Good job guys!
You're probably running too many amps and the breaker doing what it is so supposed to. Get a meter with a clamp and leave it on reading amp draw. Start with your low settings and check amp draw as you go higher. Find the amp draw of your kick ass dryer should have a label or if the 🐖 eat the label check online. Just don't increase your breaker size unless you know for sure it's to small to carry the load. Very important Use a chart for wire size as wire gets longer over a 100' you need to increase its size for the same load. Under size wiring will melt might be a good idea to check continuity.
Hey yall? i work on a dairy farm out in NY. Do yall have any episodes discussing the importance of sustainable farming and the issue with mono crops and how it depletes our soils. Would be very interested i y'all takes. Even if its something you dont believe in would still be intrested in the discourse. Thanks and happy farming.
Great show fellas!
Tesla CyberTruck is to start production end of this year or early next. Already over 2 million are on order
My grandparents were farmers I have a baby cow floating in a jar from the 1930s lol they had a rope swing that we were swinging over a hog pen my grandma whooped me with a leash lol never did that again
I think direct to consumers is going to be the way to go in the future . Also the government is good at making people lazy
Barn Talk love it 🎉🎉🎉🎉
OK so I’m new here I am pretty much grew up in the suburbs but knew a lot of farm kids growing up I’ve always wondered understand farming in the complex it is because I know it’s the backbone of food in the US and just agriculture in general is so important. What’s the biggest misconception I might have about the farming industry ? What are your thoughts on certain interests owning a majority of farmland ex. Bill Gates being the largest private owner of farmland in the US?
The millennium farmer I believe he did that with a 97th 70 John Dear combine. And I believe that was so he Go to A8 row to a 12 row.
California wasn't thinking about the industry that has already started to fail and it is not the producers artificial meat is what that bill was made for
go bad to the old ways. eat, buy, make local
🔥🔥🔥
Just came across your podcast. Built finishers 20 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Load 1 am really makes for a long day.
Help me understand, why wool prices have gone drastically down in the last 5 years? I am a small sheep farmer, and the last couple years my shearer informs me that he is holding onto multiple bags of fleeces cause wool is worth only 10 cents at the most a pound depending on type of wool. Fines are 10-20 cents but all medium grade fleeces are under 10, and long wool is basically dumpster fleeces. Why do this?
As well as what do you do with idiot drivers on the road? Tractors can only go so fast, and drivers don’t pay attention then when accidents happen, it’s the farmers fault. How do you deal with this and what is your opinion
I love the podcast. I have a 142 acre farm in PA. I’m a Labor advocate. You should be siding with the UAW. I would never speak of hog farming knowing I’m ignorant on the subject. Higher wages translates to a better America, not necessarily higher costs. Farmers and labor should be on the same side. I wouldn’t have been able to buy what I did without the Union. It’s not for everybody, just like hog farming, but it’s a large piece to getting us back on track to a better future. Anyways, keep up the good work. Speak with your dollars should be a t shirt.
Your crazy the auto industry is out of control
@@andyzumwalt3632 The auto industry has been price gauging Americans, higher labor doesn’t translate into higher costs. I’m not even being politically biased here. The price of labor in a car is less than 5 percent. It’s no different than the oil refinery refusing to produce more, or lumber doing the same. You and the Barn Talk can look it up yourself. Maybe cEOs should pay taxes like the rest of us, and maybe reduce a single CEO salary shouldn’t be in the millions? Barn Talk for thought.
👍
I have a better way?
What kind of additives to you give your pigs? Do you grow crops along with the pigs? Is 1000 ac. Enough to make a living? I am 75 am I old enough to start farming? 😂 that was a joke.
❤VIDEOS
pig toys.. hahaha.
My grandfather and uncle had pigs up until very recently. They just throw short 2 by 4's in there. Wooden chewing bones if you will. Pigs love that. They will eat them.
Why would I as an American want to help Tesla and the auto industry get richer when there are blue collar workers who are also American fighting for there right to a livable wage
No problems with Amazon?! Ha! They refused to refund a defective product within the 90 days, and that was my final straw. It took those over sees idiots in customer support 3 months to figure out how to refund my prime membership when I cancelled because it was a different card number from original even though from same bank. It took 3 months of them lying every step of the way promising something then wait the time frame and someone else says nothing has been done and that we're not allow to do what some one assured me would be taken care of. Talking to the most idiotic people 2-3 times a week for 3 months told me everything I needed to know about doing Business with Amazon going forward. I will spend 2x as much to avoid giving that place a penny
One box of meat is called the Lia Thomas
Like the RUclips but you need to clean up your language
5 0000hours of intern ship on the job traing to get your masters in plumbing who wants to deal with that
Real farmers milk 300 to 500 head of cattle twice a day 365 days of the year. Most of these crop farmers work 4 months out of the year and think they are farmers. Dairy farming is the real deal.
BARN talk Wranglers now at wally world?? No ok
It's called the pig farmer his name was Robert Picton he was killing street women in British Columbia Canada
Shit load of money? Gm made a profit of 21 billion with a b dollars last year. If they gave in to every one of the the auto workers demands they would still profit 17 billion dollars.. keep blowing ELON..
How much does brcc pay you to shill for them. You know they hate you right?
