Life of a Farmer

"Life of a Farmer" features farmers of different ages on farms of different sizes and types. The documentary features the values and traditions they have in common and the challenges of adapting to new technologies, passing the farm to the next generation and lessons learned from a life on the farm. The families are not related, but their lives are all devoted to farming some of Ohio's most common crops on farms in Urbana, St. Paris, Delaware, New Paris and Plain City. Through five different stories, this special Our Ohio documentary seeks to tell one story: the life of an Ohio farmer.
The five farmers profiled are Abe Hostetler, a 90-year-old retired farmer; Kenny Lensman, a 53-year-old farmer; Tim Jordan, a 22-year-old farmer; Luke Davis, a 14-year-old aspiring farmer; and Randi and Randy Dibert and their three-month-old daugher, Lydia.

[@ammarfuqaha5617]

[@John-oq5xj]

How's the farm going?

[@GetHighLoveLife]

updates or video of farm ??

[@winterszhuzhupets2]

I have 80 acers

[@alexhorstman5985]

We have over 200 acres on our dairy farm. It's LOTS of very hard work with little to no pay. The only thing keeping us going is the things we get instead of money. Great family, a beautiful property, and an awesome uniqe life!

[@DKingOf514]

very well made documentary, farmers definitively deserves recognition for their hard work

[@MariaMorales-kr1ps]

Farmers family are a gift from God, without the farmers, I could imagine what and where this world would go. Those land to till and the rains are the food of the body and the souls. My grandfather is also a farmer, and I witness how he loves to care for his farming, and we are self sufficient, more than enough for our needs.

[@sandyaddison6780]

Amen

[@stanwilder2934]

In the states that legally sell Marijuana crops, either for medical or recreational use our Government has assured that only multi-million dollar corporations can qualify to produce commercial crops. The American farmer needs to rise up and take his future back. Small farmers can compete and produce great products if they are not restricted out of the fair market by bureaucratic regulations and crony capitalism.

[@darkmcmuffin2764]

I gave absolutely, no fucking shits about farming. Until the gospel of Farming Simulator entered my life, and opened a future, magical gateway to farming for me. And that's what brought me here.

[@massoverdrive11]

omg same :D

[@SuperMrminecraftdude]

DarkMcMuffin if you thinks its fun to drive the machines in farming simulator, wait till you drive one IRL, its even better, like comparing a raw, uncooked steak with a perfectly cooked steak.

[@MrSkypony]

I grew up on a small farm and I really think it made me a better person. Im 68 years old and never been a mass killer lol

[@localvibes7375]

every thing in this world i mean food milk cloths liquar all are depends with farmers so please have a respect in farmers

Very good history of a life of a farmer and excellent video. Thank you for share it.

[@jovesdepaz2783]

love farmers , love farming.

[@anonymouslyanonymous5894]

Wow! I was actually also brought up and grew up surrounded by farms. When I was a kid I really love taking care of lambs, goats, and other farm animals. My parents had a farm tho I was not even born. But I was able to experience this kind of life. It was really amazing working with nature. They won't yell at you., You can have your spare time if you needed to. You can actually have your time whenever you have problems., just go in the middle of the farm and shout so loud. I did that many times when I was around 18.. I loved everything being a farmer myself. Now that I am now got by the beauty of our coutry's city (working now for a group of lawfirm) I really miss this kind of stuff. I'm getting sick of working with computers and papers but farming did not even make me feel being sick. I so love being a farmer. I hope there's still opportunity for me out there for being a farmer. That is my destiny I think, being a farmer is the greatest job I would get.

[@deadcool8842]

lucky I'm thinking of being a farmer but I'm a city boy SMH idk how I'll do it I hate these people in city TBH

[@anonymouslyanonymous5894]

+kid rock ..aw! haha I love the city, tho I feel like I'm belong to the arm of nature.. sometimes I hate the city people also, they never what we are capable of until we dare them to do the farm stuff I wonder how they can adop whatever nature throw at them..

Who doesn't like history I mean the reason I like it is because the study guide are literally like the test but in math the study guides are totally different than the test.

[@alexanderchristianching7435]

I don't like history, and the reason I don't like it is the reason you like it. Haha!

[@rogerhoke9725]

It's sad that a teach would hand out a history test that is precisely the same as the study guide.

[@talaverajr391]

@@rogerhoke9725 well I mean its a double edged sword.

[@rajarr70]

after all: the most important jobs: 1.farmer 2.teacher 3.doctor 4.firefighter 5.police 6.nurse & fixers(electrician,plumber,mechanic etc) society couldnt work without them. all other jobs are not rly needed

[@emdibem]

You forgot the garbage man :/

[@heismm23]

Home school. Don't need teachers. Jason Bourne did not need a doctor. Off grid= no fixers. Just farming/homesteading, police/militia/fire. Dont forget the brewer. Still all of these are gone if citizens were home schooled and off grid. Militia/military=most needed.

[@TheMcDonaldsMaster2420]

Need truckers they are very important to uor society and econimy

[@wayangede2007]

i am a farmer too here in Bali beside as a wood carving,farms pig,duck,coconut tree,cow,chicken.

[@pdawg22331]

great video, makes ya think about how great a place we have and how we shouldnt take it for granted

[@kaymmiv]

Thank you for making this and posting it so it's available to find. I was looking for something that would show my son what a farmer's life is like for one of our homeschool lessons and this is perfect!

[@GiShoobie]

That man Looks great for 89 years old in this !

[@gibsonsang2029]

Farming, in Africa as one of the developing continents, still has huge potential. Most people in Africa face starvation despite the good climate and other resources. Information is very important to tap on this potential. I hope we can get more of this positive stories. Good content.

[@pdeon1930]

Hello, how are you? You have a lovely feed, I have a business proposition for you, making all the headlines right now in the world. You would like to explore for its treasure, so many persons saying that it is beautiful as a side hustle because it is lucrative. If you're interested just give me a shot by sending me a direct message. You'll be enlightened if you take a unbiased approach.

[@2fast65]

great video I have family in Mn that farms they let me come drive tractor twice a year I love it and take vacation from my normal job to do it this is relaxing for me it is like a vacation other people do not understand this is where I come from and where I would like to be all the time but I am extended family but they do not treat me that way if you have the opportunity to carry on the farm do so with pride we look on with envy be proud next generation.

[@dwetick1]

You're lookin at the nice months on the farm...Nov.thru Mar.(snow & mud) months are not so nice.

[@beinghuman8760]

I hope that we have this kind of farming technology in the Philippines.

[@bobmarley9785]

what farming technology have you got. I'm from UK and we got everything you can think of.

[@Eggi185]

Interessant.

[@robertpayne2717]

Damn I wish I never quit, drought , floods, low prices etc. Dryland farming can eventually wear your down. Always hated chasing parts and have labor not show up, plugged up combines, stuck tractors, it's not as easy life as some of these videos try to make it out to seem. Grass is always greener on the other side.

[@alexhorstman5985]

Right on with you man! I live that life too!

[@MsTokies]

depends on the way it's done.. ive seen cows walk themselves into milking.. and farmers who use the boys and girls .. like anything it depends on how it's done.... the major thing is we gotta change the way we farm...

[@farmermatt629]

[@crazygirls1223]

The hardest part is waking up at 4am haha

[@SuperMrminecraftdude]

crazy girls1223 yeah, taking care of cows is the worst part of farming because youre NEVER free, no mornings where you can just sleep as long as you want, no vacations at all (unless you find someone to work for you)

[@fahrrad6643]

Yes, this fucking cows! Let´s eat them! Now!

[@W67w]

Is farming in the east and ranching in the west?

[@talaverajr391]

No it's more like 13 to 7 363 days a year but it's fun unlike working 8-5 in a office which sucks you don't get the freedom and unless you like writing essays,planning meetings,calling companies and having a BOSS then you will hate your life.

[@YoursEver-Nina]

that 89 year old man looks soooo young. i would think 70 or in his 70s

[@theidiotwhowaitsforjesus889]

Farmers are also the strongest people you can find......at least the ones that don't have machines to do all the work for them lol

[@yoganandts7868]

Many farmers are committing suicide in India.Government should educate farmers on farming technologies and should provide subsidies if the harvesting fails because of rain or drought. That's why many farmers are educating their children not be farmers and most of the younger people have migrated to city to work in IT and other sectors..! This is my story too !!

[@andyv4585]

crop insurance is supposed to help pull people through the bad years but of course that's just another cost too. we're also at the mercy of the free market and having to compete with countries like China and Brazil where modern farming is just starting to really take off. some of those countries can also get 3 crops a year which of course helps drive up supply and drives down the prices farmers can get for crops

[@Dleon918]

Yoganand T S I saw a documentary about Indian farmes

[@SuperMrminecraftdude]

Yoganand T S in sweden we all get a certain ammount of pay from government if the harvest fails because of draught, disease or insects. Although its not as good as it sounds, can take up to 2 years to get your pay for some stupid reason, and its not a lot compared to what a good harvest would pay...

I always work under some monkeys I don't like this kind of life I am also a former son but I always remember my childhood life in the village where I live definitely I go back when I am tired of my work. Be happy as former

[@TheBlinkboy356]

i get how farmers work alot but the way they get the milk from the cows and all of that its just family cruilty :(

[@SuperMrminecraftdude]

Criganian if youve read petas facebook, i can tell you right now that 99,99% of all that is fake bullshit. Might happen in 1 of 100 farms. Cows dont suffer at all in modern farms. They should be even happier now than if they were completely free, they are safe from wolfs and bears, they always get enough food, a varm place to spend the winters. The only thing they give is the milk, but they would have given it to the calves anyway. And the calves doesnt really miss out on it, they get it from bottles from a human instead untill they are later released back with the cows when they are old enough.

[@TheHummingSound]

i used to be a farmer like you until i got a tractor to the FACE!

[@TheHummingSound]

NO!
