Joe Rogan & Will Harris: “HIPSTERS” are DESTROYING the farming industry

In this clip Joe Rogan and will Harris, (4th generation farmer) discuss the destruction of the farming industry by corporations and "hipsters" and will Harris break down the price to produce his Prodcuts relative to the factory farming industry. Although some products are more expensive it is the quality and care that attracts people towards a cleaner diet including farm sourced meats. from episode #1893 of JRE!

The first way to reduce costs for meat and eggs from a regenerative farm is to find one close to you. Our model relies on our customers coming to us. We don’t grow corn but our supplier is two miles away. We lost money for two years and are breaking even now. It’s all family labor, the only machine we use is a small tractor. It’s very very labor intensive. Any profit is put back into our operation. Until our farm store is up we sell to local stores close by. Looking forward to some profit soon!

[@mikearchibald744]

You sound like a ....gasp....hipster! Or else this guy is trying to paint you as one. But thats what is going on all around us since covid. Generally we use the word 'homesteader' but the idea is exactly what you state. Like most small businesses, all the money goes to keeping the thing going. Something this guy is deriding because as a FOURTH generation farmer he likely INHERITED all his land, which makes things a lot easier. But these 'hipsters' are the enemy of corporations and old established farmers. Communities are now producing their own eggs and poultry, not going to the grocery store and buying ill kept 'product' from people who had zero interest in them. Anybody who knows farmers knows you certainly can't categorize them by industry, every one is different. But smaller is always better.

And conventional farming has made top soil the largest US export ( by volume, I'm guessing) for many, many years, according to Joel Salatin's sources. That and a whole lot more I could say to justify this next statement : plenty wrong with farming, without any hipsters causing problems. I am a former, basically conventional, dairy farmer (for my Dad, until my 30s), btw. , and know enough 1st hand and from years of reading mainstream farming publications like popular industry magazines and newspapers, and vlogs, books, articles and etc. from the more hippy/organic/all natural side. I have seen plenty of foolishness on both, definitely a lot of total BS accusations against the other by the vegan crowd, BUT some not exactly whole truth etc. stuff by conventionals against them or anyone hippy-ish, too. Mostly it's the the average Joe repeating what they've read from their side, clueless as to parts of it which are untrue, only part of the story, twisted or ridiculous. Sorry, rambling now.

[@jamesR1990]

As a regenerative farmer myself I appreciate his take. We're pretty small scale but we use rabbits and ducks to keep pests down, and gives us a use for grass etc that are otherwise "waste products". We generate our own compost and fertilizer and are able to feed a large number of families in our local area. If we need something we don't make, we trade with other small farms so that in network we have no outside need for any outside input. And being in the US South West we have about 10 months for a growing season and can easily utilize greenhouse technology for the 2 other months. Regenerative Agricultural farming can reduce carbon in the atmosphere FAR more than any of these "green initiatives" because not only does it reduce output but actually removes free carbon in the environment. Plus it's more sustainable long term than the commercial factory method of farming which destroys the soil and leads to dustbowls etc. Simple crop rotation for what plants input/take from the soil, good bed planning, and maximizing the effectiveness of what naturally occurs, such as microbial symbiotic relationships with the plants etc goes a LONG way.

As far as egg production, I would like people to be aware, that chickens in industrial production live horrific lives. Cages stacked on top of cages 5 high. Their waste at the top dropping down on the chickens beneath. They live and die in the cages. I worked in a chicken house for a few years while I was in high school. 286000 chickens were in the house. If you can afford to, please buy eggs from cage free or free range producers.

Something not touched on in this clip is food security - most of the base inputs that are not oil derived come from outside the US, and are concentrated in a few nations, some of which are at best neutral and more often hostile to the US. Case in point - one of the major inputs for farming is Ammonia, and Russia accounts for 22% of world exports.

[@TAUNinja]

I live in a small farm and community and watch all these hipster farmers move in and take over farms after these industrial farmers have retired and they are not real farmers, they simple do not know how to farm correctly, their animals are sick, they have more waste than anyone I’ve seen as they grow but don’t have someone to sell to, so most of it ends up in the compost pile, its a real shame. They all want 10x the amount for a tomato as well. No-one is going to be buying 1 tomato for $5.00. There has to be a in between.

[@brucemattes5015]

Anyone with the ability to conceptualize, and apply reason, can see that ultimately there will one day be no more fossil fuels to burn for energy. Coal, natural gas, oil, these will eventually be depleted. Long before the point where fossil fuels cease to exist, their cost of extraction, and their rarity, will make the cost of using them prohibitive for food production as farmers currently use them. Another thing to consider in the industrialized, commoditized, linear, vertically integrated food production model that *Big Ag* controls, is that most of the inputs are subsidized by the federal government. The prices of diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene, lubricants, nitrogen fertilizers, phosphorus, potassium, lime, corn, soybeans, wheat, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, nematocides, antibiotics, have all been kept artificially low in price in order for consumers to be able to purchase *Cheap Food.* If the subsidies were eliminated immediately, then Will Harris's model of raising beef cattle would be very close in cost, if not slightly less expensive, then the *Big Ag* model.

LOVE Harris, but why the whole click baity "hipster are destroying" bit? That's not remotely what he's getting at in this clip. Harris just makes an observation that few who engage in his farming practices are culturally similar to him. He instead comments more about how industrial ag are the ones making "feed the world" arguments and he goes on to refute those one by one. That's VERY different from an anti-hipster tirade.

When referred to his costs being x% percent higher than industrial he forgot to account for all the externalized costs of big ag: poor health, environmental degradation costs, increased health care costs, costs on infrastructure, etc. Regenerative/Organic/ Sustainable farming doesnt pass the buck. Factory farming methods are only cheaper cause the tax payer foots the bill. Your taxes go to subsidize corn, soybeans, wheat. That all goes to commodity crops ie grains. Grass and grazing animals receives zero subsidies, of course the farmer and consumer has to pay more for the food!

[@victorhopper6774]

bullshit, the biggest budget in the USDA is food stamps. his method costs 300% more and few are willing to spend that much more.

[@shannonpeters196]

people need to start asking themselves, how much did i spend on whole foods (minimal processing, not the store) then ask yourself how much did i spend on phones, internet, gaming, gambling, alcohol. and all the rest of modern life's essentials. If you look at the effort it takes to grow food and get it to your table, it it pretty cheap, but you need to remember that the big grocery chains are making huge profits while the producers have to keep cutting costs because the chain stores dictate the price. If you consider how big a farm needs to be for a farmer to make a living these days , it is obscene. They are forced to grow more and more food for less profit each year. which means more industrial inputs and chemicals. food production is now being driven into the hands of multinational corps. and we all know how that ends up going. just my observations. from Australia

The 'farm industry' are corporations with farm managers, most of whom are locked into contracts with pesticide and fertilizer and seed companies-often the same company, and are so huge that although they are destroying the soil, they are bailed out by the government just like any corporation. Or else they are slaughterhouses that can't be considered 'farms' in ANY sense of the word. Dairy farms are now run with virtually NO staff. So thats just ludicrous. If anything these amateurs, and anybody who has done ANY farming can tell you its hard to consider yoursel a hipster when most of your day is in the process of moving various animal shits around, are the main hope of getting an ACTUAL farm industry back.

when it comes to farming land is not land. There is a certain percentage of the planet that is suitable for farming, and its a very low percentage. Do we have a shitload of unused land? oh of course, we could fit the entire human population into the sahara desert with a bit of creativity and engineering. Cant grow a fucking thing out there though.

He is clearly a smart man, but his making fun of Stuart Varney wasn't fair. He went on a 3 minute segment and then wanted to give a 15 minute background instead of just answering the questions. Just like here. He's one of those guys that you can't pop into the office and get a yes or no answer from.

I pay more for grass fed/grass finished beef because it tastes better and, in my opinion provides a better quality of nutrition, i.e. it is minus all the added hormones and fillers found in feedlot beef. I do the same for chicken, when I can find it. I also find, personally, that better quality beef is more satisfying, so I don't eat as large a piece.

Great video, clickbait title. They don’t say anything about hipsters ruining the industry. Corporations are ruining the industry, get better with your titles.
