- This Could DESTROY Local Family Farms
There is something big happening with a major poultry producer that will have an impact on local farmers and I'm worried about it. Here are some strategies to avoid disaster.
And yes, we do watch Just A Few Acres Farm

If everyone can 'keep it local', I believe it will support the farms. Sending Positive Prayers!!
🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
Agree totally. Thanks for watching.
My man, I am super impressed with your progress in the excavator! You did a hell of a job loading that trailer!
That would be your practical exam🤣🤣. Bring Barry and come for another interview.
I’m playing golf with Barry today. I’ll see when we can reschedule for our next interview 😅😂
🤣🤣🤣. Whistle Britches will be conducting the next interview.
Time lapse photography makes an excellent operator out of anyone, doesn't it?
Chuck, I admire how gentle you were with this news about local industrial farming reducing their production. You showed how integrous you are. Thank you for setting an example of civility when discussing an industry you do not see eye-to-eye. We need more of this in the USA right now. Thank you.
🤣🤣. Good catch. You are EXACTLY right on the time lapse. I looked pretty good there.
We have family that could be affected by the layoffs. Worried for them.
Thanks so much for watching.
Praying for your family that are affected who may be affected. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
I noticed you folks are making a lot more videos lately. Just wanted to say, that I appreicate you taking the time to create more content. I really enjoy your videos. God Bless.
Thank you. We are trying to put out more videos.
Pretty scary for those folks. I agree Chuck, even though we don't agree with the process of large farms. They still are farmers like us and are people and families. Thanks for another great video!
100%. My brother in law works at that plant. Not sure what is going to happen to his job. It affects a lot of people.
Chuck and Sondra, if you are willing to teach the local displaced farmers, they could learn to farm more regeneratively. If they want a more formal training in regenerative ag, Understanding Ag has training events in regen farming.
Hey Brother ! Or Sister ,,😅! I'm Just right Below ya , I Heard ya say , you had to go to Asheville ,, well I'm right below them folks in McDowell ! But any who,,, I appreciate ya being mindful of your neighbors in this economy, and I've certainly noticed you always ask for Prayers for the family ! I really Thank ya for that ! It's a shame that it's outta the norm to hear something as easy , but powerful as prayers ! And you certainly got mine ! Not to get to deep on here, But from experience and my history , " I Know" That your wife and or Lord are on a one on one relationship ! I've seen her to many times , probably not even knowing ,,,, Listening ! Whether she's sitting with lil piglets on a stump , or walking in the pasture with your Cattle ! But I Know she's a warrior , with a very close relationship with God , as I'm sure you are , but most times your busy making vids. and learning us ! Thank you two again ! May Our Savior Bless you daily , hourly and momentarily !
I think your logs you were cutting up were mockernut hickory. Definitely the big one that was dirty. The dark heartwood and the crosshatch bark are the clues.
Thanks Troy. I’m absolutely terrible at the identification. Can pick out a few basics (white pine, poplar, oaks if it still had the leaves).
Wood you have any good references?
See what I did there?!?!?🤣🤣🤣
@@SheratonParkFarms nice! I learned by just studying the logs in detail. It will come naturally to you. There was an old tree guide the usfs put out years ago that was helpful for me. Not sure is still have that book
Thanks for telling us about the local shut down. Prayers for those families. Our concern is the trickle down to the farmer might force him to sell and we know it won't be to another farmer. Very sad.
Agreed. We have family that works there. Not sure what’s going g to happen to them.
Hey Chuck, I’ve got a couple thousand hours in on big excavators. Make a conscious effort to keep your hands off the foot pedals. Only way to really learn it.
Good tip. Thanks!
God bless you and your beautiful wife and family and your Homestead.
Praying for all those families who will be struggling with their farms. God bless our farmers who FEED OUR NATION. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Awesome video.
Prayers for those farmers.Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching.
Chuck your a hard worker keeping busy all the time.
We try. Thanks for watching.
When I saw that dump trailer, I wondered why you didn't hold the lighter logs over the trailer bed and stand inside it to cut the 16-inch pieces off. Handle once, not twice? Well, you were talking about needing practice using the mini-excavator.
Yeah. I thought about that about half way through cutting. Would have been much quicker.
Thnks for a great video..
I heard the same thing in Perry Iowa..they plan to lay off since it's cheaper to build a new process plant than rebuild..at least that's what I heard. It sucks. Keep all in our prayers
It’s sad how it’s affecting local communities. Thanks for watching.
Signed up as a patron today. Also signed up to the homesteading conference in WV. Look forward to meeting you in about a month!
Thanks for joining us!!
Getting a lot better with those controls! I can't wait for that same toy on our Grange.
It takes some practice. Thanks for watching.
My dad has a barn, a garage, an old hog and chicken building full of stuff. Plus more. I know about "you need stuff".
🤣. Gotta have the “stuff”. Thanks for watching.
Poplar makes good kindling and oak is hard and burns a long time. I love Stihl products. We own one of their chainsaws too. Farmers are under attack everywhere. While I don't farm I do have some chickens. They were helping me turn over a couple of garden beds today. God bless you and farmers everywhere. Have a great day.
Just moved to Clemmons NC in May from OH, I'm struggling with how hot and humid it is here, you don't need to do much and the sweating is on! 😅 Also, I get ate up soooo bad by the mosquitos, a dozen bites in less than 30minutes. We have 1 acre of land and I want to grow veggies and next year get a few laying chickens :). I want to learn as much as I can about taking care of chickens BEFORE I get them, I want my chickens to be happy and healthy, and I don't want to be fly by night louzy chicken owner 😂 I also want to know what to do if they should get sick. ... I only want 4 chickens and keep away from "chicken math" 😅
This is the hottest place on earth with the humidity! 🤣. Good luck with tour homesteading adventure. It’s a great lifestyle.
Thanks for watching.
Get you some Avon Skin so Soft! It will keep the mosquitoes 🦟 away! Old Marine Corps trick from Paris Island SC!❤❤❤
@@brendahoffer5534 yup!
@@SheratonParkFarms have lived in S FL and TX. I'll take 'blast furnace' vs. 'sauna' any day! I can survive heat with shade. Nothing can be done about humidity.
Guinneas are good for bug patrol, but noisy as all get out
That Poplar will be good in outside fire pits! For yourself and others. We enjoy watching your channel. That was a real nice saw Sondra bought for you and the farm. We always support the Family Farms.
Hello Chuck, we’ve had a couple of chicken plants shut down here in SWMO. Also we’ve had 27 hog farms were closed for some reason. I think they were sold out to china.
Tyson and Smithfield are both closing plants here in Missouri. And laying off hundreds of people.
Yep. Those big guts have no loyalty to the farmers or their employees. Thanks for watching.
We have to stop buying from them at some point anyway. Support them small local farmers. It's time to turn it around. There was a brand of bacon on sale at the store, I don't recall the name, I looked at the back of the package and it was a Smithfield owned company. I didn't buy it. Plenty of good brands online that have pasture raised meat.
Chinese
The Tyson plant at Corydon Indiana has or will be shutting down. Lots of chicken houses in this area. I worry about these family's also.
The time has come the Walrus said, to talk of many things.. .
People gonna have to become more self sufficient for their own needs, then they'll be able to help others.
I live in southeast Missouri and the same thing happened to the town just to the south of me. it's Dexter Missouri, it has ruined our economy here in our area. the local farmers have filed a lawsuit against said plant. this is getting real folks the risk is very high in not having enough food to survive. The chicken plant that closed here has farmers in so much debt that now it's in the millions of dollars. Chuck you're a huge advocate for farmers please look into the Dexter Missouri Batlle with a popular chicken plant. let the people know what we are truly up against.
As far as that local processing plant closing, are there no other processors/buyers who local chicken producers can sell to ? This seems to be happening more and more. Signing up for a monopoly that controls you and can dump you is just asking for trouble. I've seen examples of farmer co-ops being formed where THEY own the processing facility. Not easy, but almost required to stay in business these days... Send these folks positive vibes.
I’m not sure what their options will be. Scary times.
My husband is VP of manufacturing at a recognition company here in Oklahoma, and he said they just can't find anyone who wants to work in manufacturing anymore. Young people want to work from home from the computer, so they've moved some jobs to Illinois and Mexico, unfortunately. I would hope that the reason the big poultry houses are having to dowsize is that more people are just growing their own chickens, and smaller farms like y'all are where people are choosing to buy from? Personally, I'm raising American Bresse for my family even though it's not smaller cornish (veal-type) quality. It's good enough.
god bless chuck & sandra 🙏🙏
Put a window in the back of the wood shed 👍
Glad you didn’t fall to far. lol. Thank you.
🤦♂️ some days even talking is a challenge for me.
If the plant is thought to be still providing ready meals, is the intention to replace real chicken with lab grown?
Thx
Like the new machine, could make a man lean to the lazy side
That is a big deal for that area. This is not what we need. So sad…so so sad to me.
Chuck, I would like to order some of your jerky but couldn’t find where to order!
Sure thing!

Ok, I’ll say it/ask it. Why leave that other stuff (board and cut offs) for another day? You were already there with a trailer and it all burns up.
Where do you get your jerky made? I'm also a NC livestock farmer, would love to know which processor does this!
Patriot Jerky. They are in Conover.
@@SheratonParkFarms thank you!
Nooice! 😎 STOC
Thanks!
What size skinny jeans do you want?
I’d need about a 40 so they don’t cut off my circulation. 🤣
I clicked on jerky link and it said err move along
Fixed it.
@@SheratonParkFarms great job u 2
just a question - have they sold out to China?
No idea. They are based in Arkansas I believe.
Smithfield is Chinese owned. Tyson is or at least has ties. I don't buy either. I'll eat squirrel or opossum before I'll buy smithfield
🇳🇿🙏🏼
Thank you for watching!
