[@NoPantsBaby]

@@traviswinklevoss5431 The US government insures all crops against weather damage to encourage the growing of more fragile crops and not risk the whole farm. It is called the FCIC. It was created during the Dust Bowl where farmers went completely bankrupt due to repeated crop failures. All farmers combined claimed roughly 1.7 billion dollars in insurance each year equaling to 50% of the harvest at 60% of the price.

Just yesterday I saw a video of a German farmer who sold "shares" of cattle. The consumer would buy 1/2 a side of cattle up front and then get the meat from their cow cut to their specifications at slaughter time. There was another German farm that specialized as a "retirement" home of older animals (cows and pigs mainly) and each animal would be set up by a type of patreon system for their upkeep until they died of natural age. So your idea of sponsorship isn't really that far off.

[@cindygreen6900]

I appreciate that you are willing to share the truths about farming costs and that it's imperative to view it as a business.

[@sawyerpillsbury6471]

Yay for transparency!

Ditto that! Some channels (e.g. Essential Craftsman) only share costs to paid members. I hope you have a vet lined up for your planned cattle herd. Best wishes to you!

[@tommielourogers4327]

I agree with Cindy Green. I am about to buy a very small homestead but it is in the town limits and they have a lot of restrictions on animals and noise. I am trying to find ways to have it pay for itself. When my Husband died, I had a mortgage company steal my dream home with a death clause in the fine print. So I have been paying cash for every house since then. This homestead is the first mortgage I even considered getting and it is only because I have spent 52 years looking for this particular house and property. I want to pay off the mortgage within 5 years and make repairs and improvements I spent all day and night trying to find out what my income per acre and outflow would be for raising various animals and it was really hard to be realistic without knowing what my actual sales will be. This video has helped to clarify things a lot. Thank you so much, and I would be interested in buying a few chestnut saplings from you if you could ship them to West Virginia. Also I would love to buy a Release the Quackens sweat shirt or hoodie in size 3X-4X. I like to layer up in winter. One last question, when I hit “skip ads”, do you make less money? Please let us know how that works. I have grown very fond of you two and all of the birds and animals. I want to help y’all succeed.

[@h.s.6269]

PS, we had better figure out an economic system that doesn’t completely collapse when there is a pandemic….you dislike the idea of UBI, but I don’t see any other suggestions from you that don’t depend upon the condition of the local economy, and most workers cannot affect the condition of their local economy, nor can they afford to leave and find another locale. Perhaps hard work will help, though not always. There are always folks willing to take advantage of a hard worker, then not reward them adequately. People should be ethical because they can see that society works better that way. Bribing them to behave better sounds like an invitation to game the system, but it doesn’t address the basic problems, a big one of which is that job openings don’t automatically appear where there are workers needing jobs. Your system will punish workers for this problem. Paying someone to be ethical does not counteract the lack of jobs where they are needed, nor does it encourage employers to be more ethical.

[@davesilverman3325]

I'm in central North Carolina. I'm no longer on the farm I grew up on, and in fact that place is no longer in our family due to a difficult divorce but that life became so much a part of me that after twenty four years I often still dream about being there again as if I never left. We had roughly 500 archers, about 65 percent in cultivation and our two main crops were tobacco and soy beans but we also grew sweet potatoes and sweet corn. My ex wife worked for the NCDA as a row crop scientist and I worked as an ornamental iron worker (professional black smith) with my shop on the farm. Even with three rental houses, two outside incomes and several other side hustles there were never enough hours in the day and at the end of the month when we paid our bills it was usually a squeaker. Part of the problem was that by the time we took the place over the equipment that my Dad inherited and repeatedly cobbled back together was so obsolete and worn out that, despite my being a better then fair mechanic we had to replace the majority of the equipment which meant we had notes on nearly everything. We were in the soil conservation program due to some long standing erosion problems, and while we got the tax deferment we couldn't sell what we grew on that portion of our land. The place was fallow for a number of years after my father couldn't manage it anymore (he had a pretty sevier heart condition) so there were a lot of leaky roofs and sagging doors out there and it took several years to get all that under control. None of it was easy. There was always a feeling of being just a little behind on nearly everything and the bills kept rolling in, even in the winter while not much was going on. It might have been my perception, but farming was a high stress occupation for me but I loved it and when it was going relatively smoothly there couldn't be anything better but in my way of thinking and from what I see in the news these days it's getting harder all the time. It's hard to compete with the corporations, bad weather, rising taxes, rising insurance and fuel costs and sometimes I thought if we were bigger or smaller it would have been easier to make it. Now I'm 65 and I'm about worn out but I'd return to that time in my life in a minute if I could, hard as it sometimes was because there's nothing like standing in your kitchen washing the dishes and looking out the window and seeing all that going on out there. Calling your own shots is awesome when it's working. I like what you're doing. Vermont seems like a harsh environment with long winters, but that might be because I'm from the south. Fruit trees are a lot of work, what with pruning, thinning the blossoms, propping up the limbs and picking but I think you're onto something. I often thought about permaculture and being as diverse and small as you are if you don't have a great year in one area you can still survive. We kept chickens and hogs and occasionally sold a hog or some eggs but that wasn't our focus. We ate our chickens and hogs and only kept as many as we could use ... usually. I wish, like you we had done more with the animals. I always enjoyed hanging around with them. My biggest concern was that it would become too time consuming. I'll probably never know now. It is nice to watch you interact with them all. The videos are a great idea. They're very entertaining. You'll figure it out. There's always something to learn, new ways to do things more efficiently to maximize profits. I think you're doing a great job for the length of time you're at it. My only advice might be to have a boodle of kids. They cut labor costs and they're usually more fun then ducks and chickens and I'd have a close relationship with my extension agent. They can be a great help. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work. Generally farmers are a little underappreciated but I'm pulling for you.

It had something to do with how he would feed them (among a bunch of other things I bet). I was kinda young when he passed away, so I don't quite remember what was the trick. He wanted to pass on the knowledge to my dad, but pops had no interest in it. Man, I wish I could have learned from him. He had an awesome life and I have never met a happier man.

You're invested in a lot of endeavors, you're never sitting on your laurels, you're out there grinding, and that to me, is more telling of your success, than the amount of green bills you can hoard. I wish you all the best Mister! I will keep watching with much interest.

It’s like a winter wonder land there i’m in california and it almost never snows

[@juliusroman8616]

Yeah, it never snows here. I think people have said the last time it snowed people stared up at the sky and thought the world was ending.

[@MA-zg2pz]

@@juliusroman8616 it was ash 🥴. We burned this year.

[@hoviksmail]

It does snow here, maybe not Downtown LA, but Big Bear, Mammoth, higher altitudes get snow. You just gotta drive a few hours. My family spends every New Year in Big Bear because of the Snow. We rent a house or cabin, last year was great, just wait for the rains to start. When it rains down here it snows up there.

[@dxrcolt_og]

Yes i know ill have to drive to lake tahoe to see sbow but thats still like 4 hours away

You were not obligated to disclose to us the financial aspect of your farm but you did so anyways- no lies, no fluff, just the straight truth. Thank you for informing us of the situation. Mr. Morgan, I love your videos and farm- Every year you make more and more money from farming and I pray and hope you will make a lot of money in the future.

[@thomashaigh6635]

At a small scale, that's extremely impressive. Keep up the farming and release them quackens

[@andrewaeymour]

Love it. Miss helping my grandpa on his small farm in Bowman GA. It may be work, but it's awesome. Great people

[@juniorlovell2833]

Have you ever thought or looked into aquaponics my cousin makes about 7k or out of a 10x16x8 green house 😉 awesome poultry growth bud as long as you're going up you're doing good keep up the great job

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

I was given bags of leaves to compost. Pecan trees grow very well here and a few of the bags were full of pecan leaves and pecans. I intend to plant some of the pecans in pots to see how many decide to grow into trees.

[@Serendipity1022]

Omg your writing set-up... Can you go more into that? What is it? I’m so invested...

[@NiminaeOld]

I had the same thought!

[@doubtful_seer]

Same, I’m very curious about that typewriter

[@doubtful_seer]

Apparently it’s called the freewrite and it’s $599. It’s made by Astrohaus, and they recently released a 2nd edition of it called the traveler that looks very neat, but I am heartbroken by that price. Especially since it should really only be $150 max based on its components.

[@celscookinggardeningchanne3557]

[@KyleFox2]

Came here off the recommended in another video. Very interesting topic and as you stated may not look like a lot of money but by understanding your market you were able to increase profit by 900%. As well as in a year as chaotic as 2020. Love the videos and your mindset as a whole keep it up. Much love brother.

[@PowerTom286]

Curious what happens next. I'll be watching, Morgan.

[@FormerlyChainChompBraden]

[@paolobera]

Thanks for the video, it is very important to address the financial aspect of a sustainable farm, more so with so many people looking at your project, it is a reality check for the ones who may choose in future to go in the same path. One things thats should be pointed out, s that a farm actually provides also food for the farmer, that food at the end of the month is an income in form of goods. I am from Italy (in fact excuse my english) from a big city (Rome), but my family come from the countryside, everyone who can in that area have a small farm (some chickens, ducks, rabbit, vegetal garden etc) cause the impact of the goods you produce at the end of the month is important.

[@0ingus]

He's not even dreaming of a white Christmas at this point, it's already there

[@Jenny1954]

I would think that he makes good money on goose meat at Christmas time. Would love to see the sales for December. Remember in the Book/Movie, "A Christmas Carole" by Charles Dickens, it was a BIG DEAL to eat a prized goose for Christmas! I wonder if the meat is "gamey", whatever that means.

[@Ceodayone]

Just shows the KZbin channel is the money maker. The channel is the farm .

[@prcervi]

so long as the years profits aren't in the red i'd say you're doing great!

[@CutePuppy520]

I created an account on Patreon so that I can give a very tiny bit of support to your farm+channel. I’m an accountant (from a 3rd world country in south east asia, not rich by any standard, extremely far from being rich to be exact), can’t help but click on this video since it talks about figures+earnings. And, I respect ppl who’re transparent about their earnings, willingness to share about one’s financials/earnings is a very rare thing in the current world. Found your channel thanks to KZbin’s algorithm, have binge watched a few of your videos and loved it. Love the videos you’ve created becoz your farm really reminds me a lot of my grandma’s house in the countryside, she kept a lot of chickens and ducks in the backyard, when I was a kid I used to go to her house everyday after school. Also, my 1st pet was a chicken. It’s obvious you put a lot of effort in maintaining your farm, and also in coming up with the figures for production costs calculation. Your courage in following your dreams is very inspiring to a lot of us, especially me, very very few ppl would dare to leave their current jobs which pay a steady income just so they could proceed to chase their dreams. And I love Toby a lot! ❤️

Yay you said "Release the Geese!"/thanks for saying my suggestion
