What Do We Have Here?

[@MetaMorphea]

Never stop showing the reality of farming. People do need to see these things and know where their food comes from. As you have said before, They really only have 1 bad day compared to the "factory" farms.

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Or as compared to animals in the wild that are torn apart by predators, get hit by cars, starve to death, etc. These farm animals have a good life in the sun, for the most part. And we all have at least one bad day when we leave this existence.

[@AutoCrete]

The feed lots disgust me the most. When a cow relies on antibiotic shots to stay alive, you know that something is not right. I live somewhat down wind from a couple of feed lots. When the wind blows over them and they are mucking corrals it becomes very obvious what isn't right.

[@Moetastic]

90% of people in my country of Canada eat meat, which is pretty much identical to the U.S. numbers. I can guarantee you most those people are extremely disconnected from where there food comes from. Its good that you show people that it takes hard work to get your food from the farm to the table and learn to appreciate it. I love your videos, its really very inspiring, never feel like you need to hide the reality of how our food gets harvested.

[@AutoCrete]

I was raised 'mixed farming' and got great entertainment from city kids on their first few visits to the farm. An aunt almost had kittens when they came out and I was fast asleep on the back of a 1900lb bull that was grazing. We had about 15 head in the core heard that were 'petting zoo tame'.

The people who don’t want to see the cows go to freezer camp are probably the same ones that think meat is made in styrofoam trays… Don’t ever hide the unpleasant parts of farming. It shows just how much work it is and how much respect farmers, especially small farmers, deserve.

[@shareemartin9055]

I live in Idaho and we are even in a drought. It may not look like it to those driving by but we are. We flood irrigate from the Snake River and they changed our watering schedule this year so we get less water for our portion because the farmers needed the water more. We would rather have green farmers fields and brown lawns then the other way around. I hand water my personal garden from my well in order to keep our side pasture watered from what irrigation we get. We all do what we need to in dry years and teaching about how it works is part of that. We love this channel and all we have learned from it. It's the best part of our week to watch your channel.

They don't teach me anything about gardening, but they do put a smile on my face. We're in the same fix, rain wise - the last four rains, which come about every ten days, have totaled about 1/4". Temperature wise, I could count the number of days we hit triple digits in the first 50 years of my life on my fingers - and I could count about the same number of days we hit triple digits in the past 13 years.

Irrigation. I grew up in Idaho. When we went visiting family in Kentucky as kids we saw these massive fields and we didn't understand how everyone watered their fields, there were no sprinklers! The amount of water the fields need is enormous, we have large reservoirs just for holding water for irrigation. They are great for recreation too. A holding pond would take up so much acreage, not sure it would be feasible on your property.
