Bales of Wealth: Jesse Bounds' Journey to a $30M Farming Empire

[@willdoeswork]

I know you guys talk about people leaving mean comments, but keep it up. I’ve learned enough between listening to you guys and talking to a couple local farms to start my own hay operation. I was very hesitant to get in to it until you guys brought some light to the business side of farming. Thank you. From my family to yours, thank you.

[@SkunkApe100]

Yup.....!

[@jasontcolson]

Haters are gonna hate, hate, hate 🤣

[@markthegunplumber8376]

I was in the hay business for 14 years here in Orygun and Bartering is the only way to get ahead here. Most enterprising folks here have 2-3 jobs. Most the others smoke weed and complain about the other folks.

[@galeparker1067]

🤣🤣🤣👍👍👃✌️🇨🇦🥰 says it all..... good Luck🤣🤣

[@robertensign8786]

Some of us smoke weed as we bake hay and check on the heifer pens too. But keep projecting your opinions as you probably won’t be successful with that attitude. 🍻

[@C-Culper4874]

He hit a good point on personality traits. My crew has guys all over the map. From soft thin skinned and need compliments to guys that need to be insulted. They all are good at what we do, but it can be fun to keep everyone going.

[@jessebounds6795]

Thank you

[@zootsuitpenguin]

Been seeing a lot of your shorts in my feed, and its quite interesting! Thanks for putting this content out here!

[@spjmotorsports1243]

I’m a roofer in Oregon around Eugene for sprauer we work on a lot of farmers houses and I love how great people are in the small community’s like junction city

[@Jdigger4130]

So glad he came on n I found this. Dudes trucks are top notch n his 359 truck n trailer is ba dass! Really enjoy this as I’m in Silicon Valley n no one of my people understand my passion. Wishing this channel luck

Sure, the man worked hard, but grandpa's millions had to help a bit, give credit where it due !

The creative finance is great . It’s all about connecting.

[@dougbarber4209]

This was a great episode. Iv been in the hay business most of my life here in northern Utah. The last 18 years Iv done custom hay hauling and stacking in the small bales. Due to the housing market I’m looking at having to sell my machine and do something else. My life dream has always been in ag and the hay industry and now it’s ending for me. I wish you all the luck in the world moving forward your doing great things

[@fresh0678]

Last year we were barely started with windrowing on July 4th. It was a weird year. This last harvest was much closer to June 20 give or take like the last 15 years but last year was extremely irregular. My families farm is in Albany Corvallis area

[@isaachale9588]

One of the best ones I've seen yet. 👌

[@jessebounds6795]

Thank you

[@agray103]

In regard to Sawyers question regarding creative financing. I believe Pace Morby said that sellers use creative financing out of greed and buyers out of need. I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself because I believe that most first encounter creative financing because they’re so broke there are no other options. Great episode gentlemen!

[@jessebounds6795]

Thank you

[@deniseward6378]

Another great Barn Talk episode. I had no idea hay is such a big business! I was only the tractor driver growing up!

[@royreinke3868]

Good job, well done. Very informative and real!

[@Farmersdiesel704]

Im part of Jesse’s coaching program and he’s really provided a valuable source of knowledge into many perspectives of structuring business some of us farm kids need to learn quickly to keep our heads above water.

[@kellyolsick4727]

Yeah but to charge some kids up and coming 900 for a class. When in reality get that info from your old man or whoever.

[@PML720]

@@kellyolsick4727 thats true but most of younger generation think they know it all but them ole school cats knows what it takes to be righteous though

Keep up the good work Jesse always rooting for you 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thanks buddy

[@kennethboucherie2612]

I wish I would have seen this podcast 2 years ago when I started my business full time. Growing like crazy had a great contract starting making great money and then industry standard was so low I couldn’t make it work and took me two years to realize it. And accrual accounting I would have known 6 months in. These jobs don’t pay these do. Quit being stupid and taking these jobs. Now I’m back at my college degree career making a change to starting a 25 acre farm(owned with cash) on the side with the hope of doing some interesting farming to make it make money. Plan to raise chickens, pigs, catfish, and some produce direct to consumer. Plan is an off grid farm solar power for everything but tractor on the farm.

[@ScottRuark-q8x]

What an overachiever! Spent 250k on business/motivational courses. I don’t get it but we need guys like him. I was a victim of personal coaching when I was in the corporate world and made me realize I didn’t want to be in the corporate world. I’m fine with one truck one farm and one herd of cattle-and you can’t convince me baling hay is a good idea-always find it cheaper than baling it myself

Man, I came up the same growing our transformation / warehousing company servicing the automotive manufacturers.

41:00 if someone is a “repeat offender” in the sense they complain about every other order they are 100% being dishonest. If the product was so bad why would you keep ordering?

[@jessebounds6795]

Thank you

[@danflynn1259]

That was a great podcast. Have you guys ever heard of Andy Cayden Junkin heard him on Millennial Farmer. Something you both can relate to. Maybe not you but neighbors.

[@troyb6128]

Very informative episode, great banter, only criticism I can say is there are several edits that cut off stories, not a huge deal but still could be sharper. Keep it up

[@jessebounds6795]

Had to edit it was like four hours 🤣

[@creativetradesman6833]

I really miss your bourbon reviews. Are you planning on reincorporating that segment back in?

Great podcast

[@jimlycett4480]

I enjoy your content immensely even if I am only on the periphery of any AG business. As a shrimp fisherman my issues are somewhat different than yours.( with the notable exception of govt. Regulation) my wife and I had 2 restaurants so let give you my advice on insufferable customers. There are a very small percentage that you will never satisfy as well as a very small percentage that will eat their whole meal, tell you the food was horrible, and then refuse to pay. Take the stress out of your life, send these people a refund and then flag them and don't ever deal with them again. Don't guilt yourself because some people are pure assholes. Move past them. That was my experience. Enjoy your show, best of luck to you.

If any of you ever need a truck to transport anything feel free to let me know.

[@chrisfrancis8446]

Well I definitely will let you know that I have ordered multiple boxes from another company that send you frozen meat in a box. And every single box has at least one meat package that has been torn. The plastic just doesn't seem thick enough and not protected from knocking around on one another which probably breaks the plastic.

[@chancecoleman8989]

Like the long videos can listen without holding my phone

[@pine8806]

Propane is not a clean energy source. Check before you spread things like that, unless it was just because it was paid promotion, but then you should also give us some disclaimer somewhere? Noce podcast otherwise. Subbed.

My exact thought was what is the scrap value if he gave them 70k for it?? I’d have offer scrap value with free disassembly and pickup.
