I Quit My Job to be a Full Time Farmer/Rancher!

[@lynnoberdier5002]

Your grandfather taught you to be humble. Never forget the golden rule, and you'll do well. Blessings...

[@inthejcurve7968]

A wise man once told me… “if you don’t bet on yourself, why should anyone else bet on you?” I think you made the right decision, and I hope you are wildly successful!!!!

[@karenthesheepgirl1909]

I grew up in Germany in the late fifties early sixties. It was there I decided to raise sheep. I just didn't know it. On a small homestead now these decades later living MY dream. I was so afraid to do this but I started with a ram and a few ewes and then my friend lost her husband several yrs ago and gave me ALL her sheep. So I am a happy old lady sheep farmer now.

[@davidleary5572]

Congratulations on your jump sometimes its hard and others don't see but others don't matter. As long as Mrs Tyler and you and the family see and know the vision that's all that matter.

[@hvlineman5227]

I started off raising and butchering 50 meat birds. Last year I sold approx 700. This year I ordered 1200 chicks in two separate batches. I literally can’t keep up with the demand in my area. My only costs are purchase of chicks and feed. I’ve set up my own butcher shop, do all my own processing and bagging. I’ve invested in several thousand feet of electric netting and solar chargers to rotate birds around pastures. And I work 1200-1400 hrs a year at my full time job, but I enjoy every minute I get to spend on my farm. And I take pride in providing poultry products to the people in my community. Make it work buddy, market your farm products your grandfather would be so proud. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@barbarabrand190]

I'm told the first step is the hardest. I retired in the fall of 2019. I've never looked back. Congratulations!

[@jamesjohnson5640]

Good for you and your wife. This is big for you two. Enjoy it.

[@ilovemydad1416]

Good for you Tyler, may God keep blessing you.

[@laurajackson2429]

I know you and Mrs. FTR got this! You are a very smart and talented man. Your KZbin channel is very educational and interesting! You have 100% chance of success! CONGRATULATIONS!🥳

[@marilynshipman8376]

Love the cows munching in the background!

[@cathy8070]

I watch your channel religiously. And I often think, how is this guy able to run his farm as well as he does & still work another full-time job. CONGRATS on your new adventure. If anyone deserves success it’s you 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[@daleadkins2448]

Congratulations Tyler. “Do what you love and you will never work another day”, unless you’re a farmer. We work 365 days a year but love it.

[@springtimeplumbing6222]

Didn't get into farming, but I quit my job and went full time for myself more than 7 years ago. It has been a challenge, but I wouldn't go back. My biggest piece of advice is to get and keep the administrative/business management side straight and streamlined right from the start. Best wishes!

[@marywilkins9813]

Tyler and family, I am so very proud of you for making this leap! I believe that you will do very well and the channel can now grow into it's potential. The only question I have is, will you have health insurance? Not every day, covered for anything stuff, but major coverage. When I took that "long walk off the short dock" it was so scary, but this way you will truly be the Captain of your own ship! My husband and I grew our business into a life that was our own, and retired 5 years ago, happy with our choice. I am so proud of you and your beautiful wife! I predict that you will live a longer, more productive life, and be much happier in the process. You are a smart, well educated, modern man. Congratulations and every good wish for tomorrow and the future.

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

WOOT WOOT WOOT! Good or you, FT! You are joining the groundswell of smallholders who are bringing the family farm back from the brink. We are all rootin’ for you. ❤️

[@solson6845]

[@georgedavidson1221]

You will do fine Tyler Look for food waste or restaurant waste for the pigs. You have the rice

[@tomnelson3362]

I've known a lot of guys that raise cows at home and come to work in the auto plants here in Lansing. They all talk about the day they can work the farm/ranch full time and drop the in town job. Good luck to you and if in the end you have to go back to a 50/50 job and ranch situation you can always say you gave it your best. Personally, I think you'll make it.

[@suzanne529]

Go Farmer Tyler Ranch!! Not everyone can do what they love, you have been given a wonderful opportunity. I know you will make the best of it! I for one look forward to shop videos!

[@jerrysalgat3406]

Congratulations! I wanted to be a full time farmer. But never took the jump to do it. Now at 75 it's to late. I have always regetted not doing it. Even if I had failed I would have at least tried. I do believe you will make it work. I have been watching you from almost the start of your channel. Enjoy them all. Looking forward to your next one. Thank you for doing them. May God bless you and your family.

[@annebell4112]

You are the type of man that will make a success in advancing the farm. The 3 years you have done KZbin have been great, following your videos, seeing your ideas turning into jobs well done. You're a very humble man and take nothing for granted. Congratulations Tyler and family (and Callie). I'm soooooo pleased for you all 🌿🌿🌿🍃🍃🚜🚜🚜💚🚜🚜🚜🍃🍃🌿🌿🌿

I've never met you, but if ever you need a reminder that what you're doing is worth it, reread every comment from the begining....it'll remind you people respect hard work. Maybe you'll come across a few of my comments, and remind you that we all have friends we haven't met. Congratulations on the next step!

[@stevehughes2396]

Tyler, congratulations to you, and your bride!! I did the same thing around 29 years ago!! It's took a while for me to adjust to not having to go to work at a job, but I can tell you it was worth the stress. As long as you guys support each other things have a way of working out..Good luck to you guys, and love your channel!! Be well

[@terrilewis172]

Live life in a balance. Happy, responsibility and common sense. You have it all! Just go with the positive flow.

[@robkent6321]

Congratulations Tyler, it will be financially different for awhile but you will get better at managing with what you have and pre planning the year ahead will help a lot. You will enjoy being able to complete projects on a more timely schedule and I’m excited for you to be able to manage your farm better going forward. All the best.

[@jeanellprior8507]

Change is hard for everyone. Glad you are doing what you Love.

[@marthadavis2810]

I have certainly been missing your videos, for one. I’m so excited for the decision you and your wife have made. You will be fine. Follow your heart and continue on doing what makes you happy. Life is too short to do things that disappoint or don’t enthuse you. Best of luck to you! I Love FTR!

[@legodoug6046]

Congratulations I look forward to everything you show in the future, good luck

[@nebraskafarmer9015]

You hit the nail on the head when you said "fear holds you back". If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Move on to plan B, or C.....One word of advice: If you wish to expand your cow herd do so with rented land. You need rented ground to help you buy land should you wish to do that.

[@bhensel100]

Congratulations on your decision to be a full time rancher. It's a bold move to say the least and you have half the battle won by making it your choice rather than being forced into it. Just remember, insurance is a big bill that needs to come out of your pocket, let alone a hefty co-pay. May God Bless you with Good health and good luck.

[@kathyrivera2576]

Bravo! Congratulations! Prayers for much success!

[@teresaflobert3022]

Congratulations it has been a well thought out plan. I am proud of your new direction you are going and that you are living your dream.

Blessing to you on your new adventure I retired at 52 and never looked back but was debt free and and changed my way if I needed something it was a good deal but if I didn’t need it , wasn’t a good deal

[@debsweetman1867]

I'm so excited for you ! I have no doubt you will be a great success .I can't wait to see how you and your family & farm grow . you've got this !!!!

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

Wonderful Tyler, I'm impressed at your leap of Faith. Fear and worry are of the Devil. Hey, I felt EXACTLY like you when I exited my 120k/year engineering job on my 55th birthday four years ago. From what I know...First two years working for yourself will be bliss....everyone's 3rd year gets a bit tight with funds. That 3rd year hump is rough. When i was in my late 40's traveling for commissioning....i had a free day off and visited a cemetery....checking out all the dates of births and deaths. Was amazed that ~ 30% (1 in 3) in that cemetery were younger than me...DEAD. Walked away with two thoughts....life is short and "AIM WELL" aim well like you're sighting in a gun to get the things you want to get done in your life...your dreams fulfilled, your life's checklists completed. You cannot aim well...working on other people's projects. You did the right thing going solo. Please check into a method of shipping frozen cuts of prime beef reliable (do not look at costs), i believe there will be a market for your 62,000. subscribers purchasing Tyler Ranch beef at any cost. Cause we know those are happy cared for cows-steers. Your a good craftsman, you'll always make it in life. I haven't forgot about what i want to do for your family and channel. You've inspired me.

[@patt4599]

I am so happy for you. Now you have time to make the best of your farm. Good Luck

[@craigjones1939]

Way to go man!!!! Congrats!!

Grew up on a farm just like that. Lived my life and now back to where I started. No longer an active farm but it’s home and it’s comforting. Congrats. Great things r ahead.

[@iAvi8]

Congratulations Tyler. You’re a hard worker and you deserve everything you’ve accomplished. I’ve been a subscriber for 2 years and look forward to many more.

[@lynnroberge1886]

Congratulations on that big first step! I can honestly say I know exactly how you feel. I drove school bus for 17 wonderful years, plus I have my little business of Lynn's Tender Creations and Bling Barn where I make baby clothes, blankets, dresses etc out of different types of yarn and threads, and selling jewelry. I think the best part about being self employed now, is I get to take naps whenever I want LOL

[@markboucher5417]

Congratulations I will be praying for your success

[@zach_hewitt]

Good for you! I’m working my way to do more cattle & less off ranch work. It’s daunting for sure, but so much more satisfying.

[@reinagaura6380]

Congratulations Tyler can't wait to see what the future holds for you I'm sure you'll have ups and downs wishing you all the best 🐃🐂🐃🐂🐃

[@richardontheoldjohndeere5779]

Best of luck man. That's a huge step you've made. Having watched loads of your videos I feel sure you have the skills and the work ethic to make the ranch very successful. Can't think of anywhere better to raise a family. You appear to have planned for the future and have a definite direction you want to go. One of my dad's favourite sayings, at the end of each month when he'd paid all the outstanding bills was "out of debt out of danger" Every success for the future from a small farmer here in the UK Richard on the old John Deere

[@cupcakeslady8064]

Congratulations, it’s the best thing, you can do it, we are all behind you. My husband did a job / hobby all his life, and we always said to our 2 children, try and do work that is your hobby….which is what they are doing, one an illustrator, one an animator. Good luck Tyler 💞💞

Congratulations Tyler, I know exactly how you feel making that big decision. I am going thru the same thing the past few years. Just haven't felt like I'm in the right position to pull the trigger yet, but one day it will happen. I hope all your plans work out like you have visioned them, good luck Tyler you got this.

[@MarkW-Aus]

Congratulations - love your courage. It helps inspire me and no doubt others who have similar dreams of one day being able to move full time onto our farms.

[@ronw59]

Congratulations, Tyler, to you & your wife and to your new adventure. There will be bumps, but hopefully they'll be small ones. There isn't any doubt in my mind, with your level headedness & work ethic that you made the right choice. Anticipating taking the journey with you, via your videos. All the best in the years ahead.
