Robotic Dairyman Harnesses The Power Of Social Media w/Iowa Dairy Farmer

[@lindamorris7572]

We absolutely LOVE Dan, the Iowa Dairy Farmer and I for one am so happy to see Jaime in there more often now. He's opened up a lot of people's eyes about dairy farming and how the cows are loved and treated. Some of the videos are just hilarious and he's transparent about everything that happens. I mean, yes, be vegan. Be vegetarian. Be a toaster for all I care but stop trying to push misinformation to better your own agenda and demonize anyone who doesn't conform to your own belief system.

[@lindamorris7572]

@@bekind2animals493 Have you ever been to a dairy farm? Seriously... have you? Try it some time and you might be surprised how well cows are treated. Remember, they're cows - not human. They don't know any other life and the lives they lead are pretty damned good. I wish I had a dietician, someone to fluff my bed and change it when needed, a pedicure once every 6 months or when something was wrong but please tell us why Dan is such a horrible person.

[@lukemichaelson9474]

Oh bull, you’re just mad because he’s proving that his cows are well taken care of and that doesn’t fit your little agenda. Deal with it 99% of farmers care about their animals, the 1% who don’t well they don’t last long because unhappy animals mean low production.

I always enjoy your content. Just fyi, my girlfriend quit eating meat in her 40s during the plant base phase and soon developed all kinds of health issues (autoimmune, etc) . We got together at the beginning of Covid and shortly after I convinced her she needs to eat meat. She eventually went full carnivore and is now off pretty much all of her meds. Once in a while she’ll eat something other than meat and always regrets it after when she feel like shit. I grew up on a beef farm so nobody will ever convince me to stop eating meat. Animal fat and protein are essential in my world. Keep up the great work guys !!!

[@RichardOlsonar15]

I stumbled onto Dan's videos a couple of months ago. I've binge-watched all his videos to date. This particularly interested me because, as a 58 year-old guy, It is asserted by family members that I, "Drink way too much milk!" (I like bacon and ham, too!) I tell the vegans that most of my food once had a mother and a face! Circle of life! THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!!

My dad grew up on a diary farm, he became a director in the engineering department at a large nonprofit. His brother became a master electrician and owned his own business.

[@neilpughnewleafagronomyltd8688]

Oh man guys great show I came across by accident. This is all things close to my heart as an agronomist, and former beef rancher. I fully believe in transparency in our production, people will follow if we show what we are doing! Great show, thank you for representing the industry in a positive way, we are from different countries but we suffer the same struggles as far as social media and consumer distain.

[@lwk4229]

I really appreciate Dan, Iowa Dairy Farmer for cogent explanations but really enjoy all these farming videos.

Thank you for hosting Dan @IowaDairyFarmer and Jaime. Dan does a fabulous job at debunking myths and bringing truth to the masses regarding the dairy industry specifically and agriculture in general. And thanks to Tork and Sawyer for bringing farrow to finish farming education to the rest of the world! Keep doing what you’re doing!

I’m a city boy with a rural father that never farmed. I can smell Bertie County when I listen to your podcast. I love the value that you all bring to your audience. Allows this costal man understand the pain behind the price.

[@annareich4176]

I grew up part of my life on a small dairy farm near Adair , Iowa . My folks milked cows and i spent alot of time watching and helping my mom and dad when I was young . They sold the farm when i was 10 because my dad lost his hand in a work accident at his off farm job and caught tetanus, nearly died . Im trying to start a homestead now at age 58 and disabled. I loved the farm and want to live that lifestyle again.

[@firegirlh2o]

@@bekind2animals493 no thanks. Prayer isn’t for livestock, also if that’s where you’re going God literally told Adam that the animals were there for him, not a word about take this and save it till it dies and ceases to exist. You legitimately makes no sense with this anthropomorphic crap. That cow isn’t staring in the next Disney movie because it’s a freaking cow and lives for the exact moment it’s in. Also you know every single comment on his platforms pays him when you watch, so I’m sure his cows appreciate your constant nonsense even when nobody else does.

"Our privilege really shapes how much we can complain" - Iowa dairy farmer

[@Sunflower00987]

Nail meet hammer comment: “Our privilege shapes how much we can complain.” So much of our US culture can be boiled down to that one comment.

[@bethanym4354]

Very informative. And I loved what Jaime said towards the end about not comparing your life to the lives of people working 9-5. I think that’s a lesson to be taken to heart for a lot of people whose jobs don’t fit the corporate office model.

[@DoubleD.]

The wife and I loved Dan and Jaime on your Barn Talk. We really enjoyed their perspective on the dairy industry and raising a family to take over the business. Excellent.

I eat dairy free cheese and ice cream and use dairy free milk, ONLY because my body hates milk. My mouth LOVES it, just the rest of me doesn't. It makes me sad on the regular.

[@momofmany9954]

I love the Iowa dairy farmer! His video of "Byproducts" came across my feed by chance. (don't know how as I'm a stay at home mom of 5 in Michigan and dairy farming isn't something I ever researched specifically) It was the educational videos that intrigued me and got me to be one of his paid subscribers. It's such a neat experience and I am learning SO much.🤗

[@jakeduhshnake2481]

I’ve only ever been to hobby farms but never a real operation like you guys run or the people y’all interview. But I’m loving the pods this is my 3rd episode so far and I paid my dues sharing the link to a buddy of mine. The life of a farmer is so fascinating and the pod is very educational. Keep up the good work guys.

[@chrismcree9366]

I really like the farm and homestead channels on here now. I'm a country girl in the city and these help my homesickness. I can't believe how these people and activists think farmers would mistreat their animals, that's their life. Also animals don't have human feelings.

I love watching your industry die, I just wish it was faster. You can't compete with all the plant milks out now. The more people learn about the torture you put those animals through, the less people want anything to do do with you. Even you guys are ashamed of what you do, or you wouldn't be fighting so hard to hang onto your ag gag laws.
