    CURRENT SCHEDULE
    Expect a new video every Wednesday and Sunday at 11AM Central!
    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
    Farm Hands:

    One of the reasons why I have stopped watching some other farming channels but still watch yours is because your channel is down to earth and real. Your priorities are great!

    Ryan, keep doing YOU! I watch your videos because they are DIFFERENT than what others are doing, but yet you are highlighting the farming community. It works for me! Having Hannah share in your endeavors and share her perspective on things, I am finding it joyful to watch as your marriage and your farm mature. This is how farms work. You are doing it!

    Ryan, I’ve been a longtime subscriber who fully appreciates each and every video you’ve published. In watching this particular video, the first thing that came to mind was a sweet young girl that stole your heart about two years ago. Life, shared values and priorities change once married. Once those little bundle of joys enter the equation, it all changes again.
    I’ve always wanted to be, at the very least, a hobby farmer however the good Lord had other plans for me and the electronics path my life took. The electronics ride was great (now almost 80 years old) and I thoroughly appreciated it. I live through you and other UA-cam personalities the dream that wasn’t to be. Thanks and I hope you can see your way clear to continue to produce great content.

    Ryan, I am 74 years old and retired for quite a few years. The most consistent happiness I got in my working life came from my job, I built things. Bridges and highways my first third, custom homes and commercial medical facilities the middle third and hospitals for my grand finale. I loved all of them and miss each one. Your family gives you happiness and your job is the thing you spend your most time doing. Anything after those two things is a hobby, it has to be fun too, not work. You are by far the best UA-cam creator I watch, and I consistently follow four farmers. Keep it fun and cut back if that’s where happiness lies with you and Hannah.

    You are doing a GREAT job Ryan Don't get down on yourself. I am NOT a farmer but watching you has taught me SO many things about farming I never knew. I grew up in a small farming town in Ohio and worked with my uncle in summer baling hay. Farming has improved so much over the past 60 years. I REALLY enjoy your videos SO informative .

  • @toddatglencovewoodworks

You keep it very educational when it comes down to stuff you're learning, and you're sharing it with us, your subscribers. Keep up the good work. Hit it hard and, something one of my fellow firefighters on our dept told me when i joined. He told me, "Nothing less than excellenc, this means you." I think you've nailed it sir.

    Ryan, I have been a subscriber since you started your channel. My most favorite thing about your channel for me has been your photography and drone shots. You live in a beautiful agricultural area and you do a wonderful job of capuring scenes. You have a real eye for scenery that I am sure other subscribers enjoy as well.Just keep working on your three goals and I am sure you will find continued success!

    Thanks for the video. Please keep doing videos the way you enjoy doing them. They really are in a special league, when it comes to photography and quality, compared to other farming channels, that just keeps pumping out YT fluff. Kudos for your focus on your mental health. Not many people pick up on the signs that "this is not good for you" and have the courage to do something about it. All the best to you and your family. Take care.

    If you don't feel like turning the camera on, just don't do it, film whenever you feel like it. Family time and personal health are way more important than that UA-cam stuff. I've been a subscriber for about 9 years now, and your videos are always informative and enjoyable to watch.
    Please don't take UA-cam too serious, your real viewers are always here whenever you post a video, we won't judge you on anything.

    Many years ago I took a psychology class. One thing thet stuck was me was this phrase. "You are not who your are, you are not who you think you are, you are what think other people think you are." Platforms like YT promote this kind of thinking, focusing on you trying to be what you think others want you to be. I don't see it with you, even more with thsi video. Just keep making content, the crowd that matters will follow.

    Good video, Ryan. I like your videos and your content and how you talk about the business side farming. I hope you keep doing videos and as many as you feel comfortable doing. I always look forward to a new video from you. But there are a lot of UA-camrs that seem to fall into that area of just popping out as many videos as they can and it looks like they’re killing themselves trying to do it. I guess there’s money to be made and if you look at it if I can do this for 10 years and make a bunch of money they’re going to do it I guess. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with vice grip garage but I watch his channel. And it’s turned into a monster and it seems like even when he talks about what he’s has to do he looks burnt out and talks about being burnt out. It’s kind of sad from where it started where it was kind of fun and now just a 7 day grind that he’s trying to make money and somehow still find time for his wife and kids. Hope corn is going well!

    I have a sacred music channel (as that's what my college degree is in). I went into last month with videos scheduled a few weeks ahead. Then, my toddler started bringing home a different bug every week and I haven't posted a video in over a month. I have some stuff recorded, but it still needs to be edited (syncing audio and video/images).
    On that channel, I know there's no point to chasing the algorithm. It's a niche topic, so any growth is coming from people deliberately searching it out.
    I don't want to chase the algorithm when I start putting stuff on my "Musical Farmer" channel either.
