Stories: Farming All My Life

What Stories do you have from your life of farming? This week, William Dove shares about hardships, what farming is really about, why folks don’t understand how important farmers are and so much more. Join us again for this week’s Growing America Story.

Great video. I’m glad to see someone who is not afraid to give God praise.

[@swstrand]

It was very encouraging, to hear him sharing his faith.

[@Tonetwisters]

Amen, Mr. Tim, amen.

[@Tonetwisters]

@@swstrand Much agreed. When we get down to it ... that's really all there is.

Couldn't agree more! You have to have a strong faith in God to be a farmer! I think you'd enjoy our KZbin channel, County Line Cowpokes!

Super interview. Thank you.

I farm in Saskatchewan and my grandpa always says. “Hard times makes great people”. He was a successful farmer but humble. I’ve been farming full time 11 years now. It’s In our blood.

Very much appreciate farmers, and I sincerely mean that. But time is running out for this world. The Bible says that man shall work all day for a loaf of bread. Choose LIFE. Choose Jesus. And "well done" my good and faithful brother ... well done.

[@jamisgood21]

I understand how important farmers are! Everything we consume or use daily is damn near tied to agriculture. I kind of play farm I guess you could say on a tiny scale. Hoping to increase size someday! Hard when you ain't born into it. Land doesn't come easy...or cheap. It's crazy...many farm millenial kids want to leave the farm and want nothing to do with it. I want to get into farming. And wish I had been raised with farming. Awesome video, as always. Love these. Good advice from a good feller.

[@samuelrobinson9012]

Understand exactly what you mean. Same here in Ireland. Young ones want nothing to do with it, my own two son's also. Very disheartening when I've a decent spread of land, yet others with small farms... or no land, have son's keen to farm...

[@CountyLineCowpokes]

You're right....it is so hard to farm if you don't inherit land and can share machinery. Hope you've had some luck getting into farming. I think you'd enjoy our KZbin channel, County Line Cowpokes!

@@CountyLineCowpokes Thanks man. Well I purchased a super cool OLD house in a rural area on a few acres. I do what I can with my little property here. Sell sweet corn and pumpkins. Getting some ducks soon. Hobby farming real small scale. Waiting for an opportunity to get a little more land someday.

[@CountyLineCowpokes]

@@jamisgood21 that is so cool! We have a pumpkin patch here and it’s definitely the fun part now! We are cutting about 100 pumpkins per week. Best of luck to you with your little farm!

How is Biden sitting with you now?

[@blackjackhogs8773]

Joe Biden is a joke

[@engineclinic]

Cracks me up when farmers think they are the "backbone of the country". They couldn't even make it if it weren't for the engineers, foundry workers, equipment manufacturers, & all the other thousands of workers that make up our current system. Everyone is important to sustain our current system. Everyone is equally important. There are no special people on this planet!

[@blackjackhogs8773]

Farmers will be farming if we didn't have all that stuff

[@engineclinic]

@@blackjackhogs8773 they wouldn't be feeding everyone without it. They wouldn't be farming even close to the same amount of acreage. Plus everyone would be hungry because without the agronomists they couldn't control pests. No fertilizer for growth. Dairy farmers couldn't keep up without plastic for husklidge or cement for silos or bunkers. No milking machines. Milk would spoil without refrigeration. No veterinarians for sick animals. Lol. No, sorry but farmers would be screwed without the rest of us.

[@engineclinic]

@@blackjackhogs8773 or do you think a farmer is so magnificent that he could turn 800 acres of soil by hand with a wooden plow? 🤣😂

[@brandongiddens7123]

None of those engineers you speak of could ever make a seed break the ground... who’s gonna feed you when this world falls into its own hell... like to see you try .... you know what your not special, I’m not special... but neither one of us will be the one that decides when the lights go out... humble yourself...

@@brandongiddens7123 why don't you think before you speak. If you actually read my comments then yours doesn't even make sense.
