[@Sheridantank]

More people should live in rural areas with gardens, right to hunt for food, renewable energy if possible, and have a strong sense of community for having what your neighbor needs and vice versa. I think we should do less in the mass marketed meat as the environmental effect is there as well as the disconnect from the meat you eat being an animal. I believe if you eat your hunt you should be able to hunt as much as needed. A family can get by with a few cattle cycled for milk and meat when they age, some chickens, gardens, and more rights for hunting for food. We would be healthier physically and mentally.

Most think hospital, police, fire as being the required people during a lockdown. Farmers rarely, if ever, get a day off. While you may have gotten weekends off or an 8 hour work day, farmers are working. And it's not just farmers, but truck drivers and many others that work to keep you nice and cozy during lockdown.

[@JonCubb]

100%. I've been working in commercial poultry most of my life (I'm 32), there is no real time off. I'm a division manager for an agricultural corporation at this point, I'm lucky to get 4 days off a month. My wife and I finally had the means to plan a small trip this May, our first vacation in 15+ years, and we had to cancel due to the pandemic. Everyone please remember farmers, especially during times like this. Even in the good times, we dont have time off.

[@Echowhiskeyone]

@@JonCubb I grew up on a farm and got into timber, then the Navy. Time off was a luxury. Actually had more time off in the Navy than any time prior. 80-120 hours a week was the norm. Now I work at my pace doing timber and firewood. More free time now, but I will never forget the past work.

Dairy farmers really have to work hard. Even though I grew up on a working grain/livestock farm, I was always glad we didn't milk cows. Those poor slobs have to milk twice a day in addition to all the normal farm duties. No vacations.

Now I live in an apartment complex, but in a very small one stoplight town. I'm spoiled now, I hate to go into the city and don't if I can get out of it. I won't go into Birmingham for much, and there are hoods there you won't find me in, even in the daytime. Come dark, I'm outta that town. Tuscaloosa is almost as bad now. I grew up in the country, but now that same area is nothing but a suburb. When I was a kid, we could go shooting any time we had ammo. Most of the time we had to buy our own, so it was often in short supply. Gramps would buy some every now and then for our training, but msostly you wanna plink and waste ammo, you buy it. Now I suppose in that same place you shoot a gun they call the law. Hell the only time we called the sheriff is when a 30 caliber bullet blew through our back door, a wall and a cabinet. Nearest neighbor let one go one night at prowlers. was a 30 30 Don't ever try to tell me a 30 30 doesn't have good range. The neighbor was a half mile away and that bullet still had plenty of power.

This episode reminds me of something my great grand dad once told me, he grew up on a farm in the Dakotas before the great depression happened. As he held up his m1 grand he said to me "This rifle is not a weapon, it is simply nothing more than a tool made of iron and wood much like the hammers, nails, rivets and other tools that people have used to settle, build, and defend this country with. The only real weapon that exists is the mind everything else is just a tool to use to build and prosper." If only more people knew this fundamental truth before voting in such selfdestructive anti 2A laws.

Thank you! As a 4th gen (raising 5th) Charles City VA farmer thank you our farm was established in 1795. It is now a multi million dollar seed farm. We've come a long way from my great grandfather having grandfather straighten bent nails on rainy days to be reused. My dad wanted me to go out into the world to make sure I wanted to farm so I've been a mechanic,a welder, a landscaper, I've done construction, tile work, truck driving and I'm only 31! NONE OF IT was as fun as grain farming. I love it because I get to do ALL of that and more. it's always changing depending on the time of the year. Every day is an adventure! I LOVE MY JOB!

[@markneedler2323]

I grew up on a farm in Indiana. Farmers are the backbone of America. Farmers are the biggest gamblers too, when you spend a fortune to put out a crop, then have to wait on mother nature to let you have a harvest. So many things can happen, your crop can get eaten by insects, flooded out, The rain can stop altogether and the crop can dry up before the crop can mature, or can grow fine all summer only for the rains to come at harvest time and rot the crop in the field. There is a myriad of perils that can happen.

[@imsolost7886]

The government has done massive harm to farmers, whether agricultural or cattle. Artificially low prices have smashed their ability to survive, especially in hard times that are now becoming normal. I’m a truck driver and I’m in ND, the fields up here are lakes with last years harvest still in them. I’m from Michigan, we lost 50% of our sugar beet harvest last year amongst other things. Last year was horrid for farmers, this year looks to be no better.

[@imsolost7886]

Matt allen the govt subsidies wouldn’t be necessary without the government manipulating the markets. If farmers could sell their crops for what they are worth, they wouldn’t be struggling so heavily. But as the global system collapses, lots of areas currently farming won’t be able to afford it any longer. Our farmers will be able to take advantage of that market need.

[@stevej6991]

This is one of my favourite videos of yours guys! Your guest is a great representative for the farming community. He cares about animal welfare, and the environment, and quality over quantity, all things I agree with. It's great to see there are still people out there with a responsible old fashioned outlook. Every individual in the world needs to be conscious about what they are eating, and the sacrifices it took to get that food on your plate. Sadly in the most developed nations in the world this awareness has disappeared. Good luck in your mission:)

Today's farmer is not (hasn't been for a while now) a simpleton with some land. It is a highly scientific process with equipment and tools that any person off the street couldn't just wander in and do it. Look at South Africa. They chased the farmers off, and then they starved, because they (the "native" South Africans) didn't have a clue how to make the land work for them. Then they had to beg farmers to come back
