Jumping head first into the farm economy of the 80s and a tractor that didn't make it back home.

[@bruceprentice6441]

So many changes in dairy over the past 45-50 years. We went from small square bales and cows on pasture during summer, to wet wrapping big bales and bunkers full of silage. And I agree, sexed seaman and TMR feeding were big production changes as well as the rapid genetic process made with genomic testing of cattle to select for cattle with true production potential. And better hybrids in corn and soybean seeds. Great video, and it’s great to hear how others farmed through the 80’s, till now

[@chadedwards3467]

I think adding tours of the farms to these stories would be awesome !

[@martymartin2894]

That's an invasion of privacy

[@RyanKelly-Wititan2]

I put up a short of it. There's also a really good tour of a dairy farm with a 4430

[@toddlarson3898]

another great video enjoy watching these story of farming

[@codygraf7212]

My wife and I are trying to start farming, slowly but surely we are going to make it. But with land prices and everything else expensive, it sure ain't smooth sailing for us. But I know it never is. I always enjoy listening to these stories and listening to my neighbors and uncle talk. you all went through har times, it gives me hope because I know you went through it too starting out.

[@RyanKelly-Wititan2]

It's never been easy, it's good to hear perspective

[@festus512]

I am an old man seen the down fall of the 70's and the crash of the 80's. With today's commodity prices compared to land prices I believe we are in for another crash. Hope I'm wrong but the commodity prices compared to land prices and interest prices is not good. I know there are many young people that will call me crazy old man but time will tell

[@scottschaeffer8920]

I enjoy toward the end of the interviews when these farmers forecast what the future holds for agriculture, their regrets, successes, etc. Wisdom like this is hard to find. Hope he finds his family 4020, and restores it. That was my first tractor as well-wish I still had it!

[@cut4fun50]

[@michaeldosier]

Love the videos and love the people interviewed

[@dougd3832]

My uncle had a couple Harvestore silos for high moisture corn. He told me once that it cost him as much to reseal it as it did to build it.

[@CircleTFarms419]

Another great video , thanks

[@jamesolson9423]

It is all about the management, when it come to the financial success or failure of the purchase and use of the Harvestore silo.

Some of you might enjoy Homestead Farms: 125 years, it is on KZbin. It gives a nice tribute to the guys parents.

[@topworkengine5487]

Great video thanks for sharing ❤❤❤💥💥💥

[@jimskull168]

I am in Ontario Canada and in the early sevenths harvester silo's were a thousand dollars a foot then they got the name tombstone silo's because the family farm went under

[@pilsplease7561]

Thats crazy

[@RyanKelly-Wititan2]

Lots of guys were successful with harvestores too

[@bryanginder5903]

Bad management was the fall of them farm not the silo! You could say the same about a concrete silo, red and green paint it was just the management of the farm!

[@geesss8675]

These two men are an amazing documentation of Midwestern farming. Intelligent articulate individuals

[@cynthiaflom1344]

In 1971, built our first 25×80 big blue for $23,000

[@chrisgrabert-my8xp]

I graduated in 1996 as well

[@martymartin2894]

I was just thinking i hope that man isn't gonna be standing up talking for over an hour, its more relaxed when the person being interviewed is sitting down, especially on long interviews.
