As a farmer myself you hit one of the most common myths in farming. That is yield equals profit. That is not necessary true and i have seen to many farms and farmers struggling because they follow that myth.
I don't understand why some people think farmers don't know what they're doing... Do you really think farmers are not going by the testing they do?? We do a lot of different tests and we make applications based on the results. We do variable rates based on the tests too.
So I have been thinking about your situation and have an idea for you to consider: There are a TON of ppl that watch farming channels, and even more that watch Farming Simulator. The idea is turn your situation into a form of roleplay in how you do your videos. The people that watch these videos generally want the story, and to see progress. So if you can turn your farm situation into a sort of Role Play drama "using the true situation of your farm" and what you are doing that can attract more viewers. On facebook there are a ton of groups where ppl post Farming Simulator and Real Life Farming videos to drive ppl to their UA-cam channels. If you make your story interesting, and give ppl a good overview of the farm and the issues you can hook alot of ppl into watching your videos. This could help alot with viewer numbers and in the end your UA-cam income. It will be more work of course, but hopefully it will help you improve UA-cam as an income stream.
@@americanbeefranch Uhm, maybe a good place to start is Daggerwin's "Survival Roleplay - Farming Simulator, playlist. For an example of a roleplay that really drew in people. For you I would suggest making a playlist. 1st episode having it be the history of your farm. Mentioning the "money issue" at the end. Second Vid: have it go over the origin of the money issue. The varmints, the dirt work, etc etc. A good recap of say the first year. The next episode a good recap of your next year, leading upto current times. Make sure to show any field work/animal work you have footage of. Go over your current equipment, and the issues it has. Remember it is the "drama" that draws people in. So if you can provide problem , drama, and then work toward solution. That is the golden rule to keep people coming back. Think of old Startrek TNG. It is the exact formula you want. Start with the problem. have some drama, then find a solution. SO IE: Your chicken coop upgrade was a great example of how to do it. You tell the problem, and the drama. "Because I lost the chickens it set me back blah blah. Here is what Im gonna do next. Then the repair/upgrade part of the chicken coop. Then of course you need to remind ppl to like and subscribe "preferably 1/2 through the video" at a good moment. Asking ppl to like sub makes a HUGE difference verses not asking. A lot of ppl just forget when they are watching the video. And ask ppl for their suggestions. "Like you did about the chicken coop" You NEED comment engagement to help boost your YT videos. The more ppl comment the more YT thinks ppl like the video, no matter what the comment is. As for "advertising" Like I mentioned. There are TONS of groups on facebook for Farming Simulator 22/25. The ppl that play these games are the same ones that watch farming vids on YT. So join some of the biggest groups. When you post a vid on YT make a post about it on Facebook. Dont be afraid to play up the drama. Drama sells.

@@jmfarms3555 exactly. You must have yield with reasonable financial expenditures.
