Summer Schedule
Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a RUclips channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
I've been dreading this video after hearing about the storm. Sorry to see all the damage, glad you're all ok.
Lasted an hour. I've never experienced anything like that
@@mattsteitzer1457 Same experience here. Very strange.
God Bless farmers everywhere.
I’m so glad that Ryan is ok
Most important point is that all of you are okay. All the rest will be better in due time. The storm hit me not too long before it hit you, and my house was essentially unscathed, but there is a lot of damage here in Iowa. I tried to work last night in Newton, but the situation did not allow me to get anything accomplished. Get your rest when you can, Ryan. We will all be here when you are ready to post videos. Family and farming come first.
I seen the video of the Brown Brothers far in Iowa. They will still be finding debris in their fields for decades.
Thank you for saying what you said about hooking up a generator. Some people as simple as it sounds don’t realize they need to shut off the main breaker for the power coming in. I have a friend who is a lineman and he was injured from someone doing this. Small generators usually are not strong enough but a power takeoff generator such as yours could easily cause harm. I’m sorry to hear about your crap you guys work so hard to have a beautiful crop just to have it flattened is disheartening
I had a similar thing happen to my house several years ago now. I'm not a small man by almost anyone's imagination, but an oak tree a bit larger than my diameter fell on my house, nearly splitting it in half. I still show the pictures to the younger kids in my family asking if they want to see Uncle Brent's tree house :) In my case I had just paid to have the roof replaced only six days before. Stuff can be replaced, though it will hurt for a while. Good luck and enjoy the meteor shower. Be thankful you weren't injured during that tree falling, your house is able to take far greater an impact than your skull :)
I am so sorry to hear of your damages , I was born and raised in Iowa and lived through many tornadoes. One thing I learned farmers never stay down, they rise about the storm. My prayers are with you and your neighbors
It sucks that the farms in the middle of our beautiful country got whacked like this .Hope you and all of our farmers can recover FROM THIS NASTY STORM . Prayers for you all . I’m from upstate New York, we get the huge amounts of lake affect snow . But it does not kill our income . Hope you can bounce back.
I’m so sorry about the damage you home sustained. Bless you!
So glad you and your family are alive and physically ok. Everything else can be replaced.
Farmers are tough, they have to be.
If I was over there I would be offering my help. Hope every one effected is OK. Stay safe. All the best from Scotlands 🏴 farmers.
Ryan, thanks for updating your channel on what went on. Although we aren’t there to help you clean up, many of us were concerned about how you and family fared in the storm. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and community as you clean up, repair and rebuild.
The damage caused by the storm is incredible. 🙏🙏 you and your family are safe.Thank you for taking time thru all this to keep us in the loop. Hope the well problems resolve quickly.
You are fortunate to have each other to help put things back together!
Another youtuber- Colethecornstar lost a lot in this storm. A couple of their silos were brought down, and their corn was laid down too.
Hope all of y’all recover from this. I know storms of this magnitude can be unforgiving.
This happened in northern Minnesota on July 4th 1999.
It went from Lake Of The Woods across the state and flattened trees in Superior National Forest.
People were trapped under tree's in the BWCA in their tents. Years later some of the areas largest forest fires were from the massive blowdown.
My heart goes out to you and the people of eastern Iowa.
Praying for y'all. Any crops flattened are a troubled mess. I've had fallen wheat, hay, and corn on our old family dairy farm back north, but nothing like that y'all have. We are in a little Holler in Kentucky now and just few acres of vegetables now, not hundreds of acres of crops. GOD BLESS
God bless you, Ryan. Thank God you & your family are safe!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Be safe and take care!
The field is like that, friend, in a minute you can be left with nothing, a few years ago the stone ruined all the crops, but agriculture always gives revenge, I'm sorry for the damage, greetings from Uruguay
We had a similar storm roll through Central Oregon a few months ago wind speeds peaked at 115 Mph, see this makes me glad you all are ok.
sorryy for your loss doesn't come close to covering your loss. I'm so impressed with farmers strength in times of trouble.
Thanks for taking time to share during you guys stressful time. I'd never heard of a deratio till we had one hit here in VA in 2012. Hang in there bud
I hope most of your corn recovers. That storm died out when it got to SW Ohio, it was just rain and moderate wind. Cole the Cornstar farm got a lot of damage too. It was a crazy rare storm.
im sorry to see the damage to your farm very sad glad see u all ok
Glad everyone is OK Ryan. I live 10 minutes east of Ames Iowa and we just got power back 2 days later. Our corn looks just like yours and most trees are done for.
Where i live in Solon just north of Iowa City got hit bad.
Two days? Did you lose all that was in the freezer?
@@MsSunwatcher we sure did. Lost two deep freezers full of meat.
Spencer well should of used a generator
*trees lose a few branches*
"Yep, these trees are done for." Lol
Glad you all are safe. Sorry for any loss crops you may have. You will be in my prayers.
So glad you guys and the buildings survived alright. Devastating news about the crop. Stay safe.
Sorry to see all the damage. Hate to see all the flattened corn. Glad you didn’t lose any buildings. The farm life.
I am sorry for your loss and praying for you, your family and your neighbors. God Bless.
we had 2 antique tractors, one worth quite a bit of money, sitting between our house and garage when the storm came through. we had a lot of branches and even a trampoline go through our yard. but both tractors survived without a dent or scratch. we were very lucky. but out town went five days, i think, without power.
Makes me so sad to see this...worst storm I lived through 1959...tornado went around house...knocked down 3 barns....house made it by the grace of God....barn my 1942 John Deere D model broke off its steering wheel...I was 11 yrs old...took my Dad and me a year to clean up...cattle lived but were all over the county...makes me so sad because I know how hard you are working....brought it back to me like it was yesterday...people don’t realize what a struggle it is to be a farmer....I am so sorry for your loss as I can feel it and it hurts....
Hi Ryan, I live in England so I really don’t have any concept of the storms you have out there but it looked really bad. I think you were really lucky that tree go through the roof. In time everything can be repaired and put back to square one. The main thing is your safe to fight another day. Don’t worry about the videos too much until you are back to normal. I wish you and the rest of your family all the best. Cheers Phil.
With the old dairy barns, when we first started seeing the small dairy farmers selling out for various reasons, my Dad told me the barns if not used and kept weather tight they were doomed as we see happening today, 50 some years ago. I have not lived in a farming area for 40 years but this is still hard to watch, farm buildings over the years cost a fair amount of cash to maintain but they do give a very good return on your investment.
I’m glad everyone is ok and I know how it feels to lose that much corn to wind we had a storm go through two years ago that did the same damage as you guys got hope everything else goes better for ya
Sorry for all the damage. I have been waiting for this video. It is amazing just how much damage the storm caused. At least you are all safe. That is the main thing. I know the loss of the crops is going to really hurt. Praying for you and your family as well as all that suffered loss.
Sorry to hear what happened down in your area, we had that up north last year and Tornado's what a mess
Glad everyone is Ok👍
So sorry to hear about the damage that you had, but thankful that it was no worse than it was.
Dang Ryan, hopefully everything gets better, praying for you guys 🙏 🙏 ❤️
So sorry to hear of your damage. Cornstar farms got hit pretty bad as well. You folks are in my thoughts and prayers.
I've no clue where your farm is but I think that I'm getting your bit of the storm now
SW Wisconsin near Potosi.
Our best wishes for a good recovery. Our area is cleaning up after an EF2 tornado blew through during Isaias. Now we know what your neighbors felt like last summer. Mother Nature can be cruel. Glad none of your family was hurt. Hope no one was hurt anywhere
I'm glad that you are all ok. Sorry to hear about the damage.
Very sorry for your troubles Ryan, Travis and your family’s. So glad no one was injured and damage was less than it could have been.
Glad your all ok. So sorry about your crop damage. Looks as it been steam rolled. Good luck 🍀 to you
Where I live we got like really lucky we only lost a few branches and the tornado in Rockford only touched down like few miles away from us and I’m so glad that we didn’t have any of our 67 trees fall on our house
I hope all is back and working today (9/27/2020) Glad everyone was safe. This was the worst storm I have seen in my 76 years on this earth.
You guys are so industrious! You get a disaster like this and you are up on the roof fixing things before it even dries out.
I had a wind storm like that hit my house and blow down a big tree, and it was weeks before I got it all cleaned up.
Sorry to hear about the damage to the farm, may you have a better year.
So relieved that you guys are safe and have no injuries! Praying that everyone is able to come back from these nasty storms! God bless you and your family, Ryan! So Sorry you had to go through those scary times! Thinking of all who were affected by those lines of storms! My heart aches for all affected! Hoping you'll be able to get some rest as best as you can! We're with you guys in prayers! I can understand that it'll take awhile to get videos up! NO worries! Take care of your friends, family, and neighbors first! As Matthew said, we'll all be here when you are ready to upload video!
So much for yields this year. Sorry for the loss.
That's why they have insurance
Insurance might cover input costs. Doesn't make up for lost profit or put food on the table.
Glad none of you were injured! Material things can be fixed or replaced but you have to be healthy to do the fixing/replacing.
Glad you are all ok. So sorry about all the damage. Best wishes.
I watch weather channel it said about what kind damage those storm could do "WOW" That lot's of damage. I glad you and family friends not hurt everything else could be replace
Man that sucks. Praying for all those affected.
I'm sorry that happened to your family and friends, but glad you are all ok.
Glad you and family are safe.
Equipment and crops can be replaced. Your life cannot be replaced. Glad to not hear that anyone is hurt at all!! I know what is going on with you, as I was in Hurricane Andrew in Homestead, FL in Aug of 1992. Mother Nature is something else for sure!! I'm now living back in my home town of Enumclaw, WA., just outside of Seattle & Tacoma WA.
That was tough to watch. Glad everyone is okay. Stay safe.
Really glad you have awesome perspective, thoughts and prayers to all those affected.
Good to see that you and Trevor and you're Dad are all ok. It is very disappointing to see the Corn been damaged. All the best to you Ryan, from Australia.
The fact that you and your family are ok and you all still have a roof over your heads is the best news. Tye damage to the outbuildings and your crops sucks but hopefully you can recover from that. Prayers for you and your family.
Be glad you all are okay, everything can be replaced. Sorry for you corn and prayers to you and all the farmers out there in Iowa.
I was worried about y'all when i saw the reports on this storm. Glad y'all are all safe. Take care, and concentrate on recovery; God knows we've done it enough down here at the bottom of 61.
Nothing more amazingly sexy than a well-run, beautiful farm with a hard- working, handsome farmer. 😉
So sorry about the damage to your farm:/ Prayers for quick recovery!💝
This is REAL America!
The year was looking good, hopefully the crops can recover. Glad you are all safe!!
Unfortunately once they are over they are done. I'd say they may cut them for silage
We got hit bad in northern Illinois but nothing like what you guys had
Ya
We lost power and some corn in Mercer County IL. Power was back on a day later.
2 tornadoes in Rockford, IL (EF0 & EF1) No deaths. Tore the roof off Farm & Fleet.
Good to see you and your people are ok.. Damage will be fixed.. Greetings from Sudan Africa..
Glad you are able to capture this even when you are busy trying to clean things up.
Hey neighbor, i live in Rural Solon, Iowa were out of power for a week or so, we have a sump pump and that fun jazz in the basement, glad it didn't flood my basement. Had a hell of a time finding a generator/inverter. That wind was INSANE down here. The damage around here is terrible. Gasoline shortage too. Glad y'all safe up there.
I'm glad you guys are ok thank God
Sorry about the damage and crop loss. Hopefully you will locate your cattle in good shape. Take care
Prayers to everybody affected.
Looks like silage corn now, if you have the equipment to chop it and put it in a silo or bags. Had a Derecho go through here July 15th, 1980. Power was out at my house for 2 weeks. I lost about 30% of the shingles on the windward side of the 2 year old house. The manufactures warranty wouldn't cover them because the builders installed them improperly. They are supposed to be nailed just below the sealing strip. They used staples in the upper half of the shingles also didn't remove the plastic strips that kept the shingles from sticking together in the bundle. The instructions were on the extra bundles I had ordered in case something happened. It's shocking how many builders and roofing companies improperly install shingles.
I saw what the storm did on Cole the corn stars vid lots of damage
Sorry to here of your damage. We have family in Iowa and there was lots of damage around you guys. We had a dericcho come thru VA a few years ago and we sustained damage as well.
Wow same storm hit here in Michigan scary and it destroyed a lot in my area also glad you’re all safe
Glad your family was ok. Nice to see family coming together to help. Damage can be repaired. Just keep your head up things will get better.
Had a neighbor tell me about this storm. They said their family farm in Iowa was leveled... that is some nasty stuff.
My heart goes out to you guys...... I've been thru 2 of these big nasty storms in my life,..... and I don't envy the work you have ahead of you....Keep your head up.....Keep the faith....
Nailing the shingle in the right place is important. Laying the shingles on top of overlapping felt caused the issue with them not sticking/sealing
God bless you all. Wow I totally wanted to see the meteor shower I feel more than blessed that I didn't have to live through what you lived through I'm in Bakersfield California and I appreciate every single farmer and every single meal that I eat because without you guys I wouldn't.
That must have been horrible. Sorry to see the damage. I hope the majority of your crops bounce back. I guess the best part is you and your family are safe.
glad you guys are ok ceder rapids the town that is shown in the thumb nail is flat almost nothing left of it in iowa over 200k peeps without power 2-3 weeks until we get it back its gonna suck it is what it is we lost abt 80 trees just around our house and dang there pains to move lol just glad you guys are ok i was thinking abt you and cole the cornstars farms while the storm was hitting us
Sorry you got hit by the storm. Pray for recovery of your place.
WOW your area just can't get a break from bad weather. Hopefully you and your neighbors will be ok . Prayers to your whole community!!
You get an atta boy for your attention on electrical safety. Glad you guys are ok.
I was over between Marion and Cedar Rapids in a semi-truck when that storm hit. Had it not been for quick thinking on my part, my truck would have been on it side with me in it, like many ended up being that day. I did see some of the damages as I navigated my way out, it looked in some areas like a bomb was dropped, other areas there was nearly no damage at all. Glad to hear that everyone was safe, just keep you heads up, I hope you don't have to much crop loss but from what I saw that's not likely. Best of luck getting the things back to normal.
That was a bad storm. I live in western Iowa and that storm hit us around 8:45am. It formed in NE Nebraska and as the storm kept tracking east thru Iowa it just kept getting stronger. We had 60-70 mph winds.
Your dad is a good man, and a great support system. Cheers to your pops.
We just finally got service here tree down on houses been staying up till 10 at night helping people. Your lucky your grain bins aren’t gone like ours we’ve lost a lot we still are in shock and don’t know what to do. Glad your ok. I forget you guys were in Iowa.
Farmers are Amazing, to stay Positive in bad times and not complain. Roll up your sleeves and move on.Its so easy for some people to complain an cry about how bad they have it. Farmers the backbones of our country. God Bless
Sorry for the loss.
I live in central Iowa and we have the same crop damage you experienced there in Wisconsin. Absolutely devastating! Mother Nature can be so cruel sometimes.
So sorry for the damage you guys had but like you said you are fortunate. In Iowa it’s really bad somewhere around ten million acres of corn on the ground and a lot of bins and barns and machinery sheds down I feel so sorry for those farmers, take care and stay safe 👍
Thanks be! you are all in one piece.
Many many have you all in our thoughts.
My condolences to everybody effected by this storm. That really suck but I hope everybody is safe and the best of luck to everyone.
Sorry for your troubles.
The worst of this storm was just north of us. Had some damage nothing like so many of you have. Know very well what you folks are going through. Been hit with bad straight line wind, and tornadoes here.
My heart goes out for all farmers and people who have been at a loss from this event
Man I just went through this with that tropical storm that went through Connecticut. My power was off for almost a week and I’ve been cutting trees every night when I get home from the shop. Hopefully no one in your area got hurt. Take care bud
Same here in Cromwell, Ct. Not good.
Well it's kind of hard to click like on the video, given the content. But will do for support of the fact that your sharing real life. Hope that all effected across the US are safe and without lose of life, the materialistic lose is huge for sure and that saddens me. Condolences to everyone that have lost something dear in the storm and to other issues in the country.
Purple Runner I know same here I clicked the like button and I’m thinking I hope it doesn’t come off thatI like what happened. I like Ryan’s amazing skills to put together a quality video. I don’t like that a good family and good people had to deal with this
