The Incredible Logistics Behind Corn Farming

What is the annual turnover?

Had to rewatch this for a class lmao

So why its subsidied so efficient eh

Poisoning our land!

For those wondering, a bushel of corn is 56 pounds

I lived on a very small farm (only about 2 ½ or so acres under till) in southern Oregon for a few years growing up, and I always wished that we had more machinery like what's used on big industrial farms. Everything was done by hand except plowing, we had 1 tractor that we used for that (I never got to drive it, it was my grandpas job). My job was usually weeding, which I grew to very heavily dislike.
We grew basically everything. Corn was about half of it, but we also had lots of garlic, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, dill, carrots, basil, cabbage, anything you can think of (although we we didn't grow marijuana, unlike every other farm in the county). We also had a herd of goats that we used for both dairy (goat milk is delicious, but only when fresh) and meat.
I loved living in nature, although I didn't like being quite so involved with it. I would have preferred to have lots of machines and automation, but our main selling point was the fact that we were a small organic family farm.
Despite the fact that I'd never want to live on a farm again, i still find myself watching these kinds of videos, not to mention putting dozens of hours into Farming Simulator.

So that's where our food comes from

i do surely aprove the methods utilised

How is the corn seed red? What are we eating?

In regards to the future focusing on the most yield is a problem in and of itself.

I prefer meat from livestock that is grass fed. The corn and soy industries are killing people imo.

Thank you farmers

I read Porn Farmer. Lmao

The wild part of this, is not only do the farmers have to deal with the weather and the soil, but no one mentions the fact the seed and fertilizer companies are multi billion dollar conglomerates hell bent with a full team of "specialists" and salesmen ready to go at a seconds notice.

Covering Mexico's ban on US corn would be a logical continuation

Take a stroll in the Mississippi delta. Nothing but soy bean, corn, and cotton. Its beautiful

Corn farming is overrated

Im not for or against big farming. But the amount of food these farmers produce its more than enough to feed all 8 billion people. Im talking about all farmers around the world. And yet we dump half of food we buy. At least in Romania. And i try to understand where the problem is. Its clear we produce tons of food but yet we dumb so more and 3rd world countries die of hunger. And again its clear we have the men power and machinery to plant grow and transport and yet some die of hunger or have to live day to day with few food. Where we got as humanity? Funding wars and killing people, printing money for banks and big corporations, building ships to go to mars but we are not able to save our planet which still has more to give us just if we would take care of it.

As someone with countless hours in farming simulator, I can attest to the accuracy of the information shown in this video. Well done and love the great content <3
