[@rovert97]

It’s your channel and you run it how you see fit man. The farm and family is always number one, the channel should always be for the love of it.

[@Knitting_n_Trucking]

One of the reasons why I have stopped watching some other farming channels but still watch yours is because your channel is down to earth and real. Your priorities are great!

[@Farmer_El]

I have an idea of what you mean.

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! Take care of yourself and your family, everything else is secondary. Us long time viewers will always be here for you.

[@RogerW9421]

Ryan, keep doing YOU! I watch your videos because they are DIFFERENT than what others are doing, but yet you are highlighting the farming community. It works for me! Having Hannah share in your endeavors and share her perspective on things, I am finding it joyful to watch as your marriage and your farm mature. This is how farms work. You are doing it!

[@jcorbett63]

Ryan, I’ve been a longtime subscriber who fully appreciates each and every video you’ve published. In watching this particular video, the first thing that came to mind was a sweet young girl that stole your heart about two years ago. Life, shared values and priorities change once married. Once those little bundle of joys enter the equation, it all changes again. I’ve always wanted to be, at the very least, a hobby farmer however the good Lord had other plans for me and the electronics path my life took. The electronics ride was great (now almost 80 years old) and I thoroughly appreciated it. I live through you and other KZbin personalities the dream that wasn’t to be. Thanks and I hope you can see your way clear to continue to produce great content.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

I hope I fall in the enjoyable side of your life lol. I sure enjoyed meeting you and your family.

[@bobneff5240]

I have relatives in Lancaster.. They don't know you personally, but are very proud that you are representing the farming area. You have a huge amount of quiet, very positive, support.

[@BarryDebby]

You are doing a GREAT job Ryan Don't get down on yourself. I am NOT a farmer but watching you has taught me SO many things about farming I never knew. I grew up in a small farming town in Ohio and worked with my uncle in summer baling hay. Farming has improved so much over the past 60 years. I REALLY enjoy your videos SO informative .

[@DaveBrokaw-pi9hz]

I am a physician and farmer. Farming helps relieve the stress intrinsic with my other profession. It creates a healthy balance for me. I see other farmers in my practice of orthopedic surgery who have worn out their bodies as well as stretched their mental health to the limit. I commend you for making this very important video where you discuss in a heartfelt way your personal stressors inherent in both professions you follow. Im certain you will find the right balance because you've identified it and want it to change. It took courage for you to say that on such a public forum, and it's certain to help others. Bravo! We all deserve to be happy and have a healthy mind and body. You do you.

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

Make your videos because you want to share what farmers do and offer a glimpse into that life. They are both informative and entertaining. I have learned a lot by watching you and the quality of the video content is excellent. Thank you Ryan and family for what you do! 😊

[@wardenherring]

Ryan, I've been watching your content for quite a few years. You're a exemplary farmer, i enjoy your content, and its never been disappointing. You keep it very educational when it comes down to stuff you're learning, and you're sharing it with us, your subscribers. Keep up the good work. Hit it hard and, something one of my fellow firefighters on our dept told me when i joined. He told me, "Nothing less than excellenc, this means you." I think you've nailed it sir. Keep given er hell. God bless you

[@justincase2830]

Ryan, I have been a subscriber since you started your channel. My most favorite thing about your channel for me has been your photography and drone shots. You live in a beautiful agricultural area and you do a wonderful job of capuring scenes. You have a real eye for scenery that I am sure other subscribers enjoy as well.Just keep working on your three goals and I am sure you will find continued success!

[@tommychew6544]

Thanks for the candid discussion, I think you're on the right track.

[@Joey-ye5ot]

Ryan my parents were farming in the 1990 and before we were wheat and barley crops and Hereford cattle on the farm and thank you for what corn education you and your family do a great work

[@earlyriser8998]

Ryan, I think you do a great job telling a good farming story. I like how you have paced the videos and extended time between them when you need the space. I cannot imagine the grind to shoot and edit videos and do a day job.

[@jameshammel6541]

Ryan, continue doing what you enjoy.

[@daveconger6199]

This old man (non farmer) has really enjoyed learning from you and your family…thank you for sharing your story with us. You and your lovely wife are in my family’s prayers.

[@jasonwarren6826]

Keep doing it the way you love you and Travis are about the only ones I still watch

[@bernardosurt480]

I've been a subscriber since 2012 or 2013. I always liked your content because of the quality and how genuine it was. I always learn something. Excellent as always, greetings from Argentina!

[@1lilfarm]

Love your videos. There is always something to learn about farming and marriage! Glad you are doing what is important to you, Hannah and the farm. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

[@RogerChalland]

I have always looked at youtube videos as either entertainment or informative. Way back when you did the episode on how to fill a grease gun I thought, wow this kid knows what people want to see. Been a fan a long time and still think you do the best drone.

[@waterskiingfool]

Love your time lapses. The northern lights looked awesome.

[@wingrider687]

This is the first farm channel I subscribed to and still love it, no matter how many videos you produce. Here’s the best plan for improving your life Ryan (or anybody else): “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5, 6)

[@randyreese2120]

Keep your priorities and you will do just fine. Enjoyed your little chat.

[@thomasbergeron285]

Youngman you n your family are doing a great job.Thank you for that

[@eddiebaughman2809]

Ryan,I have been following you since you guys had your Grandfather auction years ago. You have great videos and drone footage . I have noticed the changes and enjoyed your videos. I follow a young farmer who has had his ride on the struggle bus. I like his attitude because he doesn't care what people think.People who complain have a very sad and lonely life, and they are afraid to mention it. I don't like those who make videos and then ask for money to pay for their spending. Keep up the good work

[@billwieland8497]

FYI: I enjoy your videos, and, admire your priorities/train of thought! Stay you.

[@danieldzurko8053]

2 times per week or less are good because your videos are consistently great

[@donraabe3529]

You’re a stand up guy Ryan. I really enjoy your videos. I say you are living a dream in what you’re doing “farming”.

[@stevenbossie3030]

Do what you feel is best for you Ryan. Been watching you since the beginning. You are right, it is a grind, but yours and your family's happiness takes priority. You are a wonderful man, husband, father when the time is right and farmer. Will keep watching whenever you post. Personally, I have learned a lot from your videos. Originally found you when I was looking around for videos on how combines work.

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. I’ve always said your family and livelihood should come before KZbin. Have always enjoyed Travis and your videos. Great to see the cows. Hopefully you find time to insert being a dad into the top of the priority list. Has been great to see Travis doing his part. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@1layerba]

Really enjoy all of your content along with you brothers channel. Always wait anxiously for the next video.

[@codylongsdorf7796]

Amazing video Ryan. Love your honesty! Good luck during harvest and stay safe!

[@BrianJensen-ym5gk]

Thanks for the video. Please keep doing videos the way you enjoy doing them. They really are in a special league, when it comes to photography and quality, compared to other farming channels, that just keeps pumping out YT fluff. Kudos for your focus on your mental health. Not many people pick up on the signs that "this is not good for you" and have the courage to do something about it. All the best to you and your family. Take care.

[@kdove2110]

Sadly, so many start a channel showing their efforts in life, build a following on those efforts and then begin to believe They are the product, not their efforts. That's when I am gone. I love your channel for this reason. You are real, you show your efforts, and you have never come across as thinking you're hot stuff. You are just a man, living your life and sharing with us as you would a friend. My favorite!!! I also have seen so many KZbinrs getting divorced. I wonder what the numbers are. I know you won't be one. You will put that woman above "clicks". Fan for life here. I'll take the content you share and always send prayers your way!

[@RonsHorse]

Ryan, Keep up the good work !! 1st farmer I started to watch years ago and still here!! Never left a negative comment because you were chasing stardom ,like other fake channels

[@markb.1259]

Ryan.... this was an Awesome Video!!! Your priorities are in the right place. KZbin should be the LAST priority in life. Keep doing what makes you happy and healthy!!!

[@petercoughlan1030]

Do what you have to do. Many of us will support you regardless what you decide.

[@jacobalderman105]

[@godlydevil1]

Boy Dude, I got vibes of children of the corn from this video. 🙂 Yeah sounds like it's time to get to work and harvest that there corn. I think you are happier because you have a Wife now and hopefully she is allowing you to have peace in you all's house/castle. She definitely seems like a good woman. And if she doesn't see these comments very often, show her this one, it should make BOTH of you feel good. Be good to each other and your families. Peace out. 🙂

[@stevemueller3705]

i started watching your channel because i like the content that you put on. i am glad that you are growing with your life and youtube.

[@keithwest2575]

Thanks for the videos, now and before. Let them serve as the last of your three areas that you focus on. You have a wife & family, the farm, which serves as your main source of income, so keep doing what you are doing that has made the past 2 years so good for you. Keep it that way. You are excelling in all three areas, so keep it as to what is best for you! Take care.

Great stuff Ryan, very well said, and Thank You for all Your hard work over the years👌👍🙏🙂

[@greghamann2099]

Ryan I enjoy your videos for all the reasons that you said that I might. Your videos are unique and special because you are controlling the contents as to your likes and dislikes. I agree with you as to what makes a good video. That's why I watch and will continue to watch.

[@digger5858]

Hey Ryan great video as always!! I have been watching your videos for the last ten years love them ,very informative and entertaining but take care of yourself and your wife first and put out the videos you want. I will always watch them

[@doggonedk]

Ryan I can name a couple very successful KZbinrs that don't prescribe to the algorithm. So you just do you and I think you'll be surprised. And after all I feel the majority of us that's all we want. Great video as usual keep em coming!

Love the content, regardless of what it is. Make what you want to make, regardless of the algo. I'm not a farmer, but find it quite informative as to this critical aspect of our nation's economy. Sensible set of priorities you laid out. Hope that harvest goes well for you there, and for all farmers for that matter.

Farm Tubing has turned into nothing but provocative thumbnails and selling LMNT and athletic green's. Your's was the first (and probably will be the last) farm channel I watch on a regular basis. Good job Ryan.

[@SimonKL11]

If you don't feel like turning the camera on, just don't do it, film whenever you feel like it. Family time and personal health are way more important than that KZbin stuff. I've been a subscriber for about 9 years now, and your videos are always informative and enjoyable to watch. Please don't take KZbin too serious, your real viewers are always here whenever you post a video, we won't judge you on anything. As always, thank you for the video, I'm looking forward to corn harvest👍

Another great video

[@johnferrari6554]

Your videos and content are awesome, thanks for sharing. I guess your viewers are a different breed than mainstream KZbin viewers, I think you're fine with that...

[@BillTheTractorMan]

KZbin is a meat grinder to generate money. It rewards creators who pump out content that makes advertisers happy which makes the money. Every creator gets put into the grinder and some are tougher to grind than others. I have seen many channels fizzle out and the people behind them get crushed. KZbin is toxic for creators. I definitely appreciate creators and like to thank them as much as I can. You be you, and honestly, that is what us viewers want. I have been watching from the beginning Ryan, and I seen you struggle. Be yourself, enjoy what you do, and do what you need to do to be healthy. I always told my bosses at every job, my home and family come first. Without home and family, I don't need the job. Now I have cancer, and all I have left is family and home. None of those bosses can make reasonable accommodations to keep me in the workforce. Perspective is gained by experience.

[@kenpeglow2192]

Well Said! You be you!

[@ronaldbrosowsky9922]

I have always liked your videos, and you have made them without my advice! and it Works. I believe in you. Just a thought 'be who you are' the rest will work it self out. PS: the herd seems to have mellowed over the years. No doubt a tribute to your approach to the tasks at hand. Just saying.

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@barrydarnell9748]

Ryan, I am 74 years old and retired for quite a few years. The most consistent happiness I got in my working life came from my job, I built things. Bridges and highways my first third, custom homes and commercial medical facilities the middle third and hospitals for my grand finale. I loved all of them and miss each one. Your family gives you happiness and your job is the thing you spend your most time doing. Anything after those two things is a hobby, it has to be fun too, not work. You are by far the best KZbin creator I watch, and I consistently follow four farmers. Keep it fun and cut back if that’s where happiness lies with you and Hannah.

[@davidschaefer5293]

Many years ago I took a psychology class. One thing thet stuck was me was this phrase. "You are not who your are, you are not who you think you are, you are what think other people think you are." Platforms like YT promote this kind of thinking, focusing on you trying to be what you think others want you to be. I don't see it with you, even more with thsi video. Just keep making content, the crowd that matters will follow.

What matters in most walk of life is “quality not quantity”. Most of the so-called viral videos are (in my mind) hyped up junk! But then I don’t tend to watch blockbuster TV programmes, my taste in music is not popular/ mainstream bands, and I watch KZbin channels that are informative as well as interesting. Your videos hit the spot for me, so if you are making the content that you want to then you are making me happy too ❤ Your life priorities are the right ones, you have a lovely and gifted wife who deserves a great husband, and better farming is good for the animals and food production. If you tell us, via KZbin, about how you do farming, then to me you are a good KZbinr too!

[@craigmiller5372]

Good video, Ryan. I like your videos and your content and how you talk about the business side farming. I hope you keep doing videos and as many as you feel comfortable doing. I always look forward to a new video from you. But there are a lot of KZbinrs that seem to fall into that area of just popping out as many videos as they can and it looks like they’re killing themselves trying to do it. I guess there’s money to be made and if you look at it if I can do this for 10 years and make a bunch of money they’re going to do it I guess. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with vice grip garage but I watch his channel. And it’s turned into a monster and it seems like even when he talks about what he’s has to do he looks burnt out and talks about being burnt out. It’s kind of sad from where it started where it was kind of fun and now just a 7 day grind that he’s trying to make money and somehow still find time for his wife and kids. Hope corn is going well!
