  1. Yeahhh, well Mexico said no more gmos.
    And thats how it is..
    People in the US should learn to do some REAL agriculture.
    Not that cheap, fake stuff.
    Or else MÊxico isnt taking iiit!
    Lol

  2. I lived on a very small farm (only about 2 ÂŊ 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.

  3. Corn and bean farmer from Central IL here. Thanks for this. More people need to watch this. Especially large influencers who spread lies about our profession with barely any knowledge.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. I get going upstream is harder than down but is there a significant reason it gets sent all the way to new orleans instead of up to duluth?
