I'm here to educate people about farming in the midwest while I'm learning myself.
Haha, yeah — dairy farming isn’t exactly the fast lane to diamonds and private jets.

You’re absolutely right — the scale now is a whole different world. What used to be a solid family farm does feel tiny compared to today’s operations.But thank you,that means a lot. I’m definitely learning as I go, and I try to stay humble about the mistakes. A good attitude goes a long way out here

Absolutely. The tech is impressive, but that whole right-to-repair battle is real. Farmers have always fixed their own equipment — it’s part of the lifestyle. And you’re right… out here nature still decides everything, no matter what the calendar says.

Since you grew up on a farm, you’ll probably recognize the bones of it instantly, even if the tools look different. I can’t wait for you to see it through your eyes again — maybe you’ll have to tell me what it used to be like.

maybe I’ll even impress you with how quickly I pick things up. 😉

The equipment alone feels like stepping into the future — GPS-guided tractors, automated feeders, and tech everywhere you look. But at the same time, the rhythm of it all… the early mornings, the animals, the weather deciding everything… that part feels timeless.

Thank you — I appreciate that. 😊 Farming’s a whole different world now compared to 50 years ago, but the heart of it is still the same. Hard work, long days, and a lot of respect for the land.

I bet you’ll get a kick out of seeing how much has changed… and how much really hasn’t.

Oh, absolutely — a .22 on the farm is a classic. Light, reliable, and always gets the job done. Anyone who grew up around that life knows their way around one pretty well😊

Yeah, it’s a total joke and never should’ve happened. But once things settle and stretch out a bit, business will bounce back. Tough people always ride it out.

Idaho farmers are tough, no doubt. Even from Colombia, it’s clear you still love your country. And thanks for giving credit to the folks back home doing the hard work.

Yeah… that’s the part they don’t put on the brochures. Folks in ag keep getting thanked with one hand while getting hit with tariffs, fees, and red tape with the other. It’s frustrating as hell — especially when you’re the one actually feeding people.

John Deere’s no joke — solid machines, tough enough for the hard days and smart enough with the new tech to make the work smoother. Hard job, but good equipment makes a real difference.

Farming will wear you out quick — early mornings, tough conditions, constant problem-solving. But with modern tech like GPS equipment and automated systems, the work’s a lot easier than it used to be. Still tough, just a little smarter now.

The exact number depends on the model and what attachments or tires it has, but you’re definitely looking at tens of thousands of pounds of green iron.b The exact number depends on the model and what attachments or tires it has, but you’re definitely looking at tens of thousands of pounds of green😊

Haha, I’ll take that as a compliment! 😉
And thank you — coming from an antler carver, that means a lot. It really was a great harvest, and yes, the freezer’s definitely set for a while!
