I am going to say something about me you can try and relate to or blow off. We live in a world we are blessed or cursed. I own land and have been living in sin all my 53 years and how do I expect to be blessed when I have opened doors to the enemy to destroy, steal and create havoc. Gen 35:2 is getting your house in order, if we look to others repent, if we plan our own way repent, if we live has pagan heathens repent, if we eat pork for example get a King James Bible read and learn the context and repent, if we spray chemicals on bad ground why and repent, if we lie, steal and don’t care about holiness then we reap what we sow. To change anything around examine our lives, repent and get back inline with Gods word, be obedient to the word written and living, farm organic you can’t expect God to bless a hunger for yield by taking shortcuts and messing with the food supply. Holy Spirit wants good food in our bodies start there. It took months for me to find organic farmers two hours away they are around. If you need help reach out. And yes like me you will discover your life to be a lie and open door to the enemy it’s not a good feeling. That is why we repent, pled the blood and change our ways. Then expect Gods will whether little or much.

Have you ever read Gabe Brown's book "Dirt to Soil"? If not, you might find it very helpful. Feel free to reach out to one of us at Understanding Ag.

Facts are, the bank and John Deere have made all the money over the years. Green paint is a bad religion.

how can we contact you?, so we can help.

Ya so so many mistakes. Im only few min in.. hope you pull out of it.. so many people just you tuoe to help you out n videos.

Thats a lot

Is that all from one day?!

contact your Idaho Assembly land and soil jurisdiction, through TASA

That didn't take long......Grandpa is probably impressed

Eggs eggs everywhere, ca$h to be made!

Good luck. I hope it works in your area.

I feel your pain :(. Starting out is HARD. An older farmer who mentored me always said a pencil is your most important tool. Debt is an obligation and burden. Best to avoid it and "work within your means". I sincerely wish you the best, as we NEED young people in the rural areas!

I am a 5th generation farmer on land that has been in the family since 1863. We have had ups and downs in every generation. After watching your video I am grateful for what we have. Some advice for you would be everything in writing, i still do this with my brothers..The farm has to be treated like a business even with family. Do not do handshake deals, and if you do not understand something, get someone to explain it. You really need a mentor. I am sure there are several in your comments that would be glad to mentor you. Good luck, and I really hope you do not give up, we need all the farmers we can get.

If you try ranching/farming again I would encourage you to look into Holistic Land Management and JADAM low-cost farming. These are not the answers to your current financial situation but in the future it might be a good eay to start over if agriculture is still something you are drawn to. Good luck to you and your family and farm.

Started following you, buddy. We're rooting for you. This is a huge struggle. Try to avoid the government teat. That's a funnel to failure imo.

The real question is whether you are determined to make it? Saving the farm requires no other option.

fact is you are the creditor not debtor,

stop slaving as a US Citizen , become a National

drop the USA corp, go to Global Family Group, correct your status, open you business unincorporated, and get recoupment in gold backed prepaid credit, save your farm, stop playing games with the Federal Reserve Bank, it's out of business, grow food for people, fck the gmo crap

Kick the filizer habit. Learn about reguitive ag. That was one of the thing i did. We sold cows then leased others back. Will by cows when they get cheap. Sell high by back cheap. We also cut ever thing we could to save. I got a good job to help. We started a seed bunise. I had a truck so i haul hay for others. We did some costom work. We do a lot of grants for projects. We also maxmise or profet by doing every thing start to finish. We sell little bales to a feed store. We sell bulls and beef. We want to do chickens and pigs but in tractors grazing them. The biggest thing is figuer out what makes you the most money and make changes.

Sounds like farm life to me- never give up.

Skill problem !

What is this fertilizer product company I’m interested in learning more about, also doing your own tillage and planting will help you a ton, harvest equipment will make you broke in repairs, stick money into your planter make sure it’s tight that is what will make your money

How far are you from the processor? Do you have a market for the birds. Do you have a market for the eggs?

It sounds like you have a good plan. On a different note that is a nice equine trailer 🎉. My wife has 13 horses

Im a 3rd generation rancher and am 25 I am a believer in manifesting every next step but you gotta stop and add up the penny’s and ask yourself does this cash flow ? Will this pay for its self and set me up for the future and not spend money on unnecessary things that will never pay back for there self’s and the unfortunate reality unless running massive amounts of critters they don’t cash flow enough to make a living mine barely pay for my ranch note I work a day job 10hrs a day come home take care of cows for an hour in the dark do it all again the next day and hay season comes around I take a few days off work when the timing is right don’t cut more then you can do in a bind and always have multiple connections to have on a 911 dial in case of bad break down cause it’s gonna happen eventually 3rd talk to god and pray he gives signs and guidance in many ways weather it be suffering and mad it’s learning or happy and joyful

When the Lord speaks to us we need to listen.

commenting for YT. Good luck bud. I hope you find that investor.

If you fed any DDGS or corn gluten feeds you destroyed the health of your reproductive herd. This damages the mitochondrial growth cells and reproductive cells. It’s destroying thousands of farms.

Feed business is a great idea that's what I do. Way more profit than selling silage I'm sure!!

Nice. What are you growing for protein? Peas? Beans? I have a small organic feed mill and like to grow beans so you need to roast them.

I would hold onto farmland at any and all cost. You could offload your animals and lease the land entirely for three years while you both save some money working city jobs. Your children and grandchildren will be grateful you kept the land.

I feel for ya man. Farming and ranching is a tough game to get started in from scratch and it is not for the feint of heart. You have definitely been a victim of circumstances, but dude, you definitely made a lot of poor off the cuff decisions. Some of those cattle you bought looked like some sorry looking critters. You didn't do any research on a lot of things and took some hooks there. You made handshake and verbal deals and didn't follow up them and they bit you in the ass. I have a buddy that did a handshake deal with the wrong guy on some land. A neighbor, that he thought was a friend. But never trust anyone. That handshake cost him another $250,000. He wanted the land, and he had the assets to secure a loan and got it all worked out. I'm sure you all were under a lot of stress, but your wife quiting a good job that probably had insurance benefits was not a good decision. You just got in over your head. You are not the first one that has happened to, and you sure as hell will not be the last. Most farmers and ranchers are one year or one rain away from success, or one year or one rain away from losing it all. You are not going to pay for a farm in four years, but as you have found out, you can sure as hell loose it all in four years. You need to come up with a LONG TERM plan that shows cash flow that will increase your equity, get it on paper or software, and find a lender that will work with you. And that may more than likely include either you or your wife working off of the farm. And you need to stick to the plan. You were bouncing all over the place. One thing this year, another thing the next year, and another thing the next year. That doesn't work. It costs money to switch directions every year, and that just takes on the snowball effect. You gotta put that long term plan together and stay the course with very little variation. Either that, or sell it while you still have equity. Like I said, I feel for you. You need to make some serious decisions. Whatever you decide to do I wish you the best.

Hello. Pray. Pray a lot :) Praying has always brought a solution for me and my family. Our farm is row crop only now. Cattle, Hogs at one time. Not for a long time. My resume' is farmed all my life and built a radio business. Been self employed since 26 and blessed. 41 years doing this. I've sold part of my business to pay off debt. Drove school bus. Repaired other stations for companies, even competition. Sublet buildings. Find whatever you need to do to pay down the debt. Negotiate with creditors. Most importantly, keep praying. You'll do it. Keep going and don't give up

Quit spending money dude! Sell that new junk and drive old Junk!

The Voles tore up the ground. LOL, thought for sure the first time you said bulls.

You should definitely give that farm to someone who knows how to operate it. And probably find a job somewhere like Walmart?

Good luck, I pray it works out for you.

#1 rule of business is knowing you are just a man, and figuring out that you are not the only man in the world and that a million men have gone before you, TALK TO PEOPLE, get advice, ask questions, learn from others, if your gut is leading you wrong then outsource it, thats the cheapest thing and the first thing you should have done.

There is no such thing as hugely success on the farm! One year at a time barely scraping by and hoping it you better next year, year after year after year and debt gets paid down a little bit then it starts getting a little easier. Figure 30 years for real life.

Couldn’t pay bills but spent a couple hundred thousand dollars….

Trump/big corporate AG wants to destroy family farms.

I see cattle behind you. Cattle is about the only ag commodity making money

Poor planning, Sounds like you need to find a different type of employment

What’s this “crowdfunding “ that you were talking about? We are in a tight spot ourselves and are thinking about what avenues we can use. We’ll be praying for you!

I got tired of fighting the obstacles! I walked away and it was a great call on my end. My life is a whole lot easier and saner from there on. Enjoy life,now!

Welcome to farming

Nice video

Nice video

You sure have tried hard. Some similarities to my farm in Alberta, Canada: My discbine broke down, and it took them three weeks to put in 6 new roller bearings, some new belts, etc (really only two days of actual work), but a big bill. My brand new Cornell irrigation pump seized on start up because the the dealer didn't test the check-valve before installing (it leaked air, so pump didn't prime). Instead the pump seized up and took out the newly-overhauled engine crankshaft and bearings (it is me that has to repay for all that, as I can't afford lawyers). Yes you are right, selling hay is a real fickle business, hay prices collapsed here this fall as well. Yup, rodents (pocket-gophers in this case) push up mounds of dirt and eat the alfalfa routes. But you have debt, whereas after a lifetime I no longer have debt. All the best to you.
