As a soft fingered paper pushing keyboard warrior in STEM, the jaw jacking sermon you give contains copious amounts of truth and technical information. Also, the real life experiences and non-textbook problem solving you, Jarrod, and the crew do would blow an entire floor of cubical lickers minds. Thanks for the video, its nice to watch the job I wish I had.

Soft fingered have you ever been on a farm or lived on one .Yes farming looks easy but sure as hell isn't I use to farm years ago getting up at 5am 7 days a week and it was hard to find good help who cared about cows as much I as did . Today farming has changed so much and the COSTS are very high as long as you keep paying the bank the bank will give you all the money you need .I'm not farming any more the costs were to high thanks

I love all of your videos, but this one really set the tone on how much a small breakdown can cost. After seeing all of the trucks and tractors working with their drivers and realizing that they aren't doing anything during the breakdown, that's a lot of worker hours that someone is paying for with no production. Your videos give us consumers the reasons why food costs what it does.
