Farming is the best life there is and it is character building. It is the backbone that makes society and community what they are!
Counterpoint: I was forced into manual stoop labor farming with negative cash flows every year by a parent. They couldn’t afford to put brakes on the tractors. Almost cost me my life over and over. At 5. No, farming is not the best life. I wish I was never been born to a farmer. Farmers want only helpmeets from my experience.
"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tradgedy."
Both sides of my family lost dairy farms that had been in the family since 1910 and 1923. I worked 4 summers on a truck farm before I joined the Marines and to this day I can't drive by a farm stand without stopping and buying at least one thing.
We started our market farm and loving it but I'm still working my full time job. It's hard but I LOVE farming. Honesty is hard to find today, I love to work and feel the dirt in my hands. I'm 32 looking to leave a real legacy for my family and this Earth. Everyone deserves good healthy food. Thank you
this deserves way more likes and views than it has
My dad lost his farm in 1999. It's still difficult. I still miss it and i know he does. This video reminds me of walking around our old farm. It never really goes away. I'm not sure how he made it.
im 11 im heading into the farming operation and this is something i dont want to lose the saddest words a farmer can hear is Mom or Dad i dont want to farm or the banker saying im sorry i cant help you
The evils of the world are destroying what is good. The dark times your family has been through are not in vain. You have been able to help so many because of the journey you have experienced. God’s glory always shines through. If you hadn’t been through and done what you have so many more would be on the same journey. This not only hurts the family but the community they live in. I have come from generations of farmers and they too lost it all. Nothing left for the generations now. I have farming in my blood. I am drawn to growing and caring for things. It is my passion. Starting this journey during the hardest time in history only motivates me more. I know this is what we have to do for ourselves, our families and our communities. God bless your family and know nothing you have been through was in vain, bit for The Father’s glory. Thank you for speaking the truth.
How can anyone dislike these videos you have no clue what farmers have to go through and yet have no idea where your food comes from besides a grocery store
I'm one of the ones that clicked Dislike, not because of the plight of the American farmer, but because this video claims to be a "documentary", but is instead just a lengthy sales pitch. There is no real information in this video.
This guy says many times that 'nobody is talking about this solution to this problem', but yet the solution is never talked about in this video. Why? Because the son of a farmer turned banker saw a way to make even more money off this problem by selling a "solution" to very farmers he's trying to help. If he really wanted to help people, he would make a "documentary" that showed people this solution.
It's people like this that are the problem, not the solution.
"The love of money is the root of all sorts of evil"
@@user-zi9ug6sj4dexactly I’m glad someone else saw the same thing I did, I clicked dislike for the EXACT same reasons you did
"This isn't a joke, this is people's lives. This is decades of hard work out here. This is generations of families that won't get to take over the family farm operation. They won't get to experience this lifestyle"
That line hit my midwestern farm roots HARD. My granddad was the last one in my family to farm. But the love for the agricultural lifestyle jumped a generation because I have the strongest desire to be out in the field like my grandad and his dad were. Hopefully sooner than later I'll save up enough to start my own farm, on a smaller scale.
best of luck bro , my granddad was also a farmer , we still own some land but we lease it out to other big farmers yes , i also want to buy more land and want to farm myself, i think just like you farming is in my blood.
For some reason People think food just appears in the grocery store
Thank you for this,as a first generation farmer in South Africa this is a wakeup call.I will keep this message close to my heart as I want to be able to leave a legacy for my children and keep building the farm for generations to come.
This is the greatest inspiring video I have ever seen. Thank you so much for helping farmers fight and work things out and make it
I cannot help every farmer but I can SUBSCRIBE to their channels, so UA-cam pays them more everytime someone watches their videos.
I can watch their videos so they earn income for those efforts.
It puts a meal on their table and that I can do!
May that small effort on my part keep farms in the hands of families, not corporations!
i went thru severe depression in 2018. high debt then a state dairy inspector caused injury to me. i sent my bills to the state twice denied both times. SO i went to local law and health department and NOTHING from them so i called many senators the usda the datcp , farm first, wmmb and farm bureau and once i mentioned a state employee NO one would help or talk to me. the ONLY time some one offered help was when some one called and said i was suicidal THEN a cop was here in less than 20 minutes. the cops would NOT talk to me over my accident BUT i couldnt go ANY wheres till i talked to a shrink for 15 minutes THEN the cop and shrink pretty much blamed me on the words i used telling the state to piss off!!! they turned it around it was MY fault!!! NO one in wisconsin cares about farmers the MOST essential business out there NO government cares about us NO one unless they think im suicidal THEN your here in 15 minutes. wish i could post a picture here of my injury!! farmers are the MOST essential business out there but we sure are treated like CRAP!!!!
I am so very sorry you have been through all of this. The world is turning evil. We as a group need to turn away from the evils and take a narrow path. Lies are everywhere and being upset or discouraged now is wrong. It is not wrong but the way to let out stress and debrief yourself. Holding it all in will only create a black hole that destroys you. I, myself, do not have enough land to do everything but we can all work together and go back to what is good. I drive to my local farmer for what I need and cannot do myself. I refuse to support big business and choose to go local. There has to be a way to get around what has always been the status quo. May God bless you!
Amazing documentary! We need to do more to help the farming community! Thank you for sharing this story.
It isn't a documentary. It's a dumb ass sales ad for his scam group.
What a beautiful man to educate others . His parents should be very very proud of him.
God bless and protect each and every one of you and all true farmers and ranchers on Earth.❤🌞
There haven't been many documentaries to leave me speechless or emotional. "Saving The American Farmer" now joins that list, along with "Forever Majestic"
I'm in school for Agricultural Sciences, and am searching for what I want to do with my degree. And following my past of helping others, that may be what I do.
Farmers need the world's help. But we're too busy worrying about what the president is doing. We don't see that the sanctions against Russia have prevented North America from getting any nitrogen or products from anhydrous ammonia. We rely on Russia for that. People don't see that farmers are the leading group of people committing suicide. People don't see that inflation being over 16% higher than previous years affects the farmer more than the average person. They don't see if the government shuts down, farmers could lose so much money because the ARC/PLC program is government controlled. They don't see that interest rates for equipment and products needed for farming have skyrocketed over 146% in the last five years.
I don't know what the future holds for any of us, including myself. But, I can hope it only gets better and that I can be there to help.
It should be pointed out that one way or another, since this film was made, farmers and ranchers had the best 3 years they’ve had out of the past 50 years.
The improvements in farming techniques are steadily being more adopted, and their is a real nice, yet small level of getting out of the commodities system with a specialty crop. One sold directly to an end user, or through a broker like myself who keeps a very small basis, and handling fee. So many end users are looking for a value added label. All natural, non gmo, no glyphosate etc… it’s small, but it’s real, and it’s growing.
This saddens me to the bone. My friend Stephanie Nash gave up singing to move here to Tennessee to help put on the family dairy farm. I have taken up the fight with her as a friend. She has a TicTok in which she post many things about the Dairy Business and what the Federal Government is doing to kill it. I was raised on a small farm but after Vietnam I went to work as a Operations Manager for a larger trucking firm. After retiring, I came back-bought the family farm and starting fighting along with the others. I have subscribed and follow on here to add my comments. Our government can afford to pay Illegals to come here but they can't help the farmers to live. That is pure Bull.
thank yall so much i needed this today
It saddens me that politicians only think of themselves and steal from the farmers. I want to buy some land to start a farm, but what is going on from the dairy farmers to the other farmers makes me gravely concerned. What about a co-op of all farmers the need to stick together and fight.
I stand with you on that idea. To stand alone, to do nothing, will ultimately lead to a total loss.
Please Farmers...don't give up! Governments...help our famers...please!
It’s called a sickening gov that adopted income tax from Europe
Should be no income tax or a simple flat tax acrosss the board
It’s troubling and it’s going to get worse
God bless every farmer, not only in the US but across the world!
Oh jace sad to see that American farmers also struggling like in India (My country) hope you get rid of this soon . u r doing great job keep it up man 👍👍👍👍
I’d imagine it’s to promote awareness
In the UK us farmers all have two jobs. I have had two jobs for 50 years, its call survive. Working on a farm by yourself is lonely and depressing when you dont see anyone for days. I havent seen a machinery rep in 40 years. Good luck guys.
"A Must See for every American Farmer." // Not only for American farmers but also for many average people. Wake up. Do things differently. Decade-old patterns don't work any longer. A serious film. Thank you.
It would be great to hear some examples of problems and solutions
Hi - thank you for the feedback - please check out our playlist Farmer Principles for problems and solutions.
It's a scam. Sales pitch for a scam. Imagine putting your children in such a video. Awful parents as well as shitty people.
Problem are the ultra big companies controlling the prices and in the same time many people do not have enough money to eat after 3 weeks in a month. This system is so broken...
We need to link up 👌👍🤙🔥
this is a worldwide problem, people don't have respect for us farmers, government wants to shut us down...
corporates want our lands the prices which we got for our grains are kept artificially low to put us out of business so, big corporations can buy our lands . yes you're right its a world wide problem
At least I still have a video and aerial photo of our farm . They can't take my memories from me
Very much enjoy you honestly and openness about your family.
2005 was when our family farm started to slide...
Now after 15 years away, I am involved with a Regenerative farm. Building slow, direct marketing and seeing results!

I’m very confused at what you have to offer? I’m looking for an outlet for my stress. I’m 39 years old with a beautiful wife and 3 sons, but the financial stress of buying out my parents (every farmer’s retirement plan) has caused me to become a distant functioning alcoholic. I put in at least a 12 hour day every day and drink myself to sleep. The feeling of sitting in my recliner of an evening and melting away all my stress and anxiety is what gets me out of bed in the morning and I know that can’t be healthy. I can’t enjoy anything anymore I’m more concerned about keeping landlords happy than keeping my wife happy... I related to everything in this video but am confused about what exactly you’re offering
I just saw this> Are you OK now?
I really do feel sorry for all of you
I farm myself and running all those hours being by myself and not being able to know the I can my payments and feed my family put me in a severe depressive state of mind and telling everyone that I was fine and thought about taking my own life
Corn is the same price as the 1980s. This needs to change
Let's go #FARMERS#WORLDWIDE WE HAVE TO FIGHT AS ONE!!
Fight? The mentality of farmers is what needs to change
@@RJ1999x Ummm,this is all they have left and this is our childrens future to eat healthy not GMOs man. All farmers worldwide are going through this. That's why gates is buying all the farmland to control the food we eat... Take notes💥
@@truthseekertruthspeaker he didn't buy enough land to even change the food supple by .01%
Your right the farmers need to come together and create a co-op maybe but it is not just the farmer that would be on board but the people around the globe need to know what is going on with our food supply. And what the governments are doing to take the healthy food away for lab crap food.
Wy do the price go down on cows and corn
How can we help you..?
What song is playing at the very beginning?
The question is are we the people going to do anything about it ?
Not everyone is as bad at business as your family. Just because you ruined your family doesn't mean the rest of us are that stupid.
That young man is so right. We don't have any groups like yours in Australia it is still very much each for himself because the Australian Farmer I so independent and not able to ask for and seek help.
The current business model for farmers is not suitable for. Farmers because of the fact the are at the bottom of the chain . The are price takers not price setters. I n Australia we have the vageries of poor prices,high input costs prolonged droughts and for many years very high interest rates, pests , disease ,storms and so on many don't fall inside the lines that can get the government help so have to to make it on their own. I think the only way is to have their own credit bank they own and control. Farming is more than a business.
they introduced new laws in india that will put farmers in hands of big corporations nd small farmers will be out of business, that's why we indian farmers protesting on the border's of New Delhi from last 10 months
I don’t have much but a legacy is being born on my acreage. Learning the ropes is hard going about it by yourself
How much money will it take for your family farmer to git backup and running.
I thought the same thing!! He’s helped so many, maybe, just maybe God will give us a way to pull together and help them get their farm back!
The same thing is happening in Australia and has been since the late 1980's. It seems like every ten or fifteen years a farmer needs to at least be able to add another thousand or so acres to what they already farm because of costs and seasons and so forth what a farmer reviews is not nearly as much as they should be getting.
In many cases the net profit is in the negative range and if things are really good a farmer might receive 1- 5 % on their investment a just return would be at least ten to fifteen percent. It is not just happening. Everything upline of the farmer is ripping it from them.
Just because you want to be a farmer....and you want that lifestyle doesn't mean you are a good business man/woman and or someone who would be mentally able to take those pressures....in any business....I've work for myself fo 39 years now....and it's not all an easy flow....
Farmers feed us. Such an overlooked injusticd
This felt like a long info-mercial with little info or solutions. You have to subscribe to the program.
Hey Vanessa - thank you, please check out Farmer Principles, our newest playlist, we're adding content weekly and hopefully you will find value there.
This documentary is mostly dramatic music and personal stories, it doesn’t go into any detail about the how and why. It felt like a very long trailer.
So so sad
Explain what your goal is
Hey jace 2 months went by whats you goal
@@farmerTrout1993 what is the plan ?
Sad to see so few views. Should be a little more important. Can’t eat that latest and greatest megapixel phone.
Very true! Im a city dweller myself ( nyc) however I believe that so mich mystery and myths that surround farmers because they live largely out of sight and mind. Just my take.
dear farmers only option is to switch back to a sustainable natural way of farming as we more depend on these fertilizer and pesticides companies cost of farming is more and we make them rich. also, the use of pesticides is harmful to the entire ecosystem. we cannot produce by killing other living things in the ecosystem, we harming ourselves more doing that.
Time to farm the old way no more high dollar machinery
The way our government is working today farmers will not gave a choice.
It’s the only way!!
Get a clue. The old way? You mean go back to a time when we were inefficient and more people had to farm on more land? Farm land is disappearing and population increasing. Yeah that makes sense. I miss much about the old ways but it isn't practical or possible.
Farmers will have to buy only fuel! Can this possible or nothing to buy anything for farming! Can this possible? Make won seed, fertilizer, pest control! Zero input farming can possible?
Pest control with inter planting crops. There are many flowers/herbs that repel bugs and insects. Not to mention one plant gives what the other needs.
Now prices of everything to produce a bushel has doubled from 2020 to 2021 we are in big trouble trump 2024
Texting and driving shouldnt be promoted nevermind condoned

Great your sharing your story do it safely
If you aren't a multibillion dollar corporation you got no buisness being in farming these days. It sucks to hear but life ain't fair.
Don't waste your time on this video. It's an advertisement for a scam.
Biden is very lucky to receive o much support from the American farmers. He would've never made it to office without them.
I call BS becuz i'm a farmer and i know alot more farmers don't vote for him
I’m a Wisconsin beef and hog farmer and I didn’t vote for Biden and all the farmers in Wisconsin voted for trump
As much as I like this project, I watched it and didn't see the cause for any of this or the even the objective of the entire video other than IT's BAD, SOMETHIG MUST BE DONE. ok, but WHAT caused it? What must be done? WHAT is the whole premise for this video?? All i've heard was BAD things and things you should be worried about, but NO ANSWERS other than "Apply now". APPLY FOR WHAT? WHY? WHAT are farmers signing up for? WHY are they signing up? HOW WILL THEY BENEFIT?? NOTHING ABOUT YOUR PROGRAM IS EVEN EXPLAINED FOR THE FARMERS TO UNDERSTAND YOUR OBJECTIVE other than APPLY NOW!!!! Come on!! Give a call to action that HELPS people's problems, just not the success of YOUR program being sold. :)
Jeremy - thanks for that raw feedback, check out our channel and the Farmer Principles playlist specifically for tactical advice and tips on what to do - for a more detailed list on HOW WE HELP farmers, we break down the different phases, check out:

@@JaceDYoungLegacyFarmer Thats awesome!! Im glad you received it the way I intended… iron sharpens iron so we all become better. I wholeheartedly BELIEVE in what you guys are doing!! Im no farmer, but I am a producer with farmer clients. If theres anyway I could help you guys, please don’t hesitate. Time is of the essence and the urgency is vital!! Keep rockin it!! Much love and respect to you guys!!
@@JeremyWilliamson 100% this is exactly how we coach our members, so it is very well received!!
So basically this guy just made a group chat? Waste of a 30 minute video. No actual advice whatsoever.
How anyone cannot see the hurt and pain in this video is beyond me. You do not have empathy or a heart if it does not touch you.
Ye have not eyes to see not ears to hear. Creating strife is an abomination and marks you.
@@fullofgracehomestead of course, had to be a Karen lol. He kept going over and over the same thing but had no solution.
Alex rivera
Sorry you have to bash others to make yourself feel better. I’ll pray for you.
You know how to save the American farmer? Stop pushing sustainability and all that bs
And stay away from giant machines with huge loans, government subsidies, buy-outs, pesticides, GMO and Bill Gates. Rotate crops with animals. Don't do monoculture such as just dairy and sell directly to the consumer. They will pay for local and organic.
Not a documentary. Doesn't go into what's causing anything. Just emotional reactions. Total fail.
Thanks Bryan - check out the rest of our channel for tactical advice on what to do.
Don't buy this dude's bullshit. He's just a scammer.
