    The amount of support that you got from your brother/family and your neighbors was outstanding.

      Thats usual in the small town world. I grew up in a relatively small town and never locked my doors or my vehicles, regularly would feed neighbors animals and bring their mail inside for them. We would let our neighbor use our dump trailer and he let us use his zero turn mower. its basically fur trade but with bigger more expensive furs lol

      You might also mention that farmers support farm families that need help with harvest.

    You guys have an amazing support system!! Hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas and new years! Don't let Josie get away, not many women now a days will stack bales! I love watching you and Grants videos, as I am a younger farmer/ rancher. I have about 10 acres of hay, some row crops and cattle. Thanks again!!!

    You've got an instinctive ability when it comes to teaching. I'm going to recommend a number of topics for the "Off" season that I think a lot of people could learn from even though you've covered some of them spread out in your other videos.
    Here are some suggestions: Why plant Oats? Why plant Alfalfa? What crops to rotate and why? How do you know when your field is telling you what to plant? What are some less common field crops being planted in the Midwest? How much tile is too much? How does the government affect your planting choices? How do you choose insecticide and when to apply? What is crop insurance?
    I'm just recommending these because you're a really good source of information and judging from some of the comments I think there are quite a few of your viewers that would benefit. I'm sure you've got tons of great ideas so ignore me if I'm being a pain in the neck. Thanks for the great videos!

    • @spencerhilbert
      @spencerhilbert  2 години тому

      Yup those would be good to make, I haven’t dived too deep into that kind of stuff as I am just learning right now, and don’t have much experience to teach on. I hope to do better with this though, show as I learn is the goal.

    Well worth watching this video. I really enjoy the breakdown of the income and expenses. Having Grant and Josie, and your neighbors helping is really cool. Most channels don't show the UA-cam income and crop data, but show the expensive equipment. Good thing you have UA-cam helping out.

    I made a hay hook in junior high (‘85 or ‘86) and it wouldn’t work at all. An old farmer helped me reshape it to match the turns and shape of my grandpa’s hay hook and then it worked perfectly. I use my grandpa’s hook now.

    Really fun to see how you are working, we live in the south of Sweden and we have a small farm that not is in use just now but we had hen and chickens before even ducks and geases, my girlfriend was selling eggs for breathing and got a really good income on those breathingeggs like 1,5 dollar/egg when we buy foodeggs for 2 cent/egg in the store.
    Whe also have a plan to growe potatos which is a very high pricetag on at the store, we have to pay about 2 dollar/Kilogram that only for a year ago cost 1 $/1kilogram.
    Potatos dont have to be planted in rich soil you can grov potatos in sand. You dont have to spread manure or fattening to get them to grow well. They only dont like much water, they would mold in the soil.
    Happy christmas and a happy new year!🎉

    Congrats on another productive yr. Just a question for you. How many man hours do you put into this venture. Both in planning and implementation. I am just interested to see if this is a viable future or if small scale farming is going the way of the dodo. Looking forward to 2025 and a new government and wish you every success for it.
