This year do you think if you rented the hole farm out do you think you would have made more money or farming it all out in the end ? This is a question because we got a farm by a family member passing away .

It's still amazing to me that nearly every farm runs on loans and paying interest to banks. It's a broken system

I was just a kid when my father was involved in an accident and was in the hospital in traction during harvest. Our neighbors all brought their combines and grain wagons over and harvested all our crops. Farmers do those things for each other.

[@shariarnold9649]

I have watched every episode of your soybean and corn harvest. I am in awe of how you all worked such long hours to get it completed and then turn around and help your neighbors. The planning and logistics to get the grains in the silos coupled with the added pressure of keeping the equipment running was an eye opener for me. I have great respect for all of you…Cole, Cooper, Daddy Constar, Roman and the ladies who had hearty meals ready for you at night. I have really enjoyed your grandfather’s mansion renovation and look forward to seeing what you do next with the movie theater. I love your positive attitude your boundless energy and your work ethic. I have the highest respect and gratitude for what you do! Blessings to all of you. Thank God for our farmers and what they provide! 🌽⭐️🫶

I remember my dad going to help a farmer in need. A cow was giving birth and the calf was not coming out dad had to put his arms in and pull the baby out saving both the mother and calf’s lives. When the farmer came home he visited my dad and wanted to pay him, my dad would not take a penny. But the gratitude that farmer had made a huge impression on me as a little girl.

It seems like a Catch-22 for farmers; when yields are low, prices are high, and when yields are high, prices are low. Good for you (all) for having the guts to put in your own bins (may God give your justice!.) It must be a constant test of your faith. May God bless and prosper you.

The bins will probably make a huge difference to profitability in future years once theyre paid off.

After having watched another farming vid tonight I am not completely surprised at the loss. The other farm had paid $35 (an acre?) or a bushel for some kind of fertilizer something that promised crazy growth and only yielded an extra $4 or something per acre...that $31 of wasted money adds up quickly. Not to mention the price of fertilizer varying and the price of seed and then low commodity prices in a rigged market. Small family farms put their neck on the line every single year to do what they do. Thank you!!
