Raising beef and showing the entire process on-line is very intriguing. Then having the ability to buy beef knowing how it was raised, what it ate and what medicine or growth hormones were or were not used would be something I would consider buying.

Yes in an age where quality is suspect/safety I could see people buying a side of beef. My grandpa had a farm/ranch since 50’s in Saskatchewan. And his kids got sides of beef every year. My only concern is travel time per say example shipping from you to me in Alberta Canada. But it would probably take off like a wild fire in USA especially the top selling point is watching, from birth to pasture, to plate.

I buy a beef every year from a friend. Not only how it was raised and fed, but I also know what meds it was given and how it was fed out. Plus, I get all cuts way below the cost of ground beef at the grocery stores. Your idea has meret, but how much per pound you are charging and shipping cost will determine customers' ability to save and your profitability.

I think that a very fundamental challenge/problem with the NEXAT machine gaining acceptance in the US is that in an already very risky business (of farming), farmers owning this machine would take on a whole new level of risk. The good thing about using conventional tractors, tillage/spraying equipment, and combines is that different brands from different manufacturers can be mixed and match quite easily. Even with a combine, a farmer may run a Case IH or John Deere combine but use a header made by a different manufacturer (like MacDon). This makes it much easier for farmers to tailor machines to their needs. It also provides a very significant level of competition among machine manufacturers to help restrain costs and provide customization options. Also, if one manufacture goes out of business, another equipment manufacturer can be easily used as a substitute. If a farmer decides to switch to NEXAT machinery, they are stuck with the prices, options, and service that only NEXAT provides. If the power unit fails in the middle of planting season, there is no substitute tractor that can be hooked up to the NEXAT customized planter to finish the job. If NEXAT raises its prices, the farmer has to live with it because he/she cannot easily shift to another manufacturer. Also, NEXAT is a relatively new company. If it goes out of business, the farmer is left high and dry. I think that for NEXAT to gain a big foothold in the US, it needs competition from other manufacturers offering interchangeable power units (tractors). It also needs competition in the way of interchangeable module attachments from several different manufacturers (unrelated to NEXAT). This may sound counterintuitive (for NEXAT), but increasing direct competition from other manufacturers will greatly reduce the risk to farmers. Reducing that risk will make it more likely that a farmer would spend such a large amount of money on such a machine.

I suspect the answer is common open architecture standard. Both standardized mechanical connections, electrical connections and data network connection. That would be the solution for the interchangeable nature of implements moduls and tractors. Much like the ISO container standard. But I have a hard time seeing it happening if other branches are anything to go by. The big players in the field wants to have their customers locked into their own products and product standards.

@edschultheis9537

@@primeflux1 I agree. I think that NEXAT needs to provide an open architecture standard for their own success. They also need to make it so that regular good farmers and mechanics can repair most aspects of the machine. Without that, I can't imagine many farmers taking the huge risk to tie themselves to one manufacturer with essentially all of their farm equipment. That seems like a recipe for potential disaster for the farmer. Farmers aren't stupid. They try to mitigate their risks every day. Even farms that run exclusively John Deere equipment do not have the same level of risk. They always have the opportunity to rather seamlessly substitute other brands of equipment if John Deere is not performing in some way. They have multiple options, reducing their overall risk. NEXAT owners currently don't have other realistic options if NEXAT fails to perform in some way. P.S. - These NEXAT machines are always seen working in large, mostly flat fields. They would never work on the steep rolling hills of the Palouse region in Washington state. We regularly farm fields (in the Palouse) with 30-45 degree slopes. All of the combines have automatic leveling in order to stay on the hills and to do an efficient job of harvesting the crop.

When that is achieved, then the risk to farmers (of choosing such a farming system) will be greatly reduced.

Great video! Love the idea of buying custom beef direct from the farmer.

Sound idea. The more you and Grant can do yourself, the better farmers you will become. Any good business needs to diversify. Keep up the good work. Make us all proud.

I met this machine on HI WAY 34 just East of Phillips Ne.heading East, this morning April 26 and saw it sitting at Todd's place the other morning. WHAT A BEAST!! Kinda a knock off of the UNI SYSTEM of the past (65 years +/- ago) it could, push a planter threw the field be switched to a combine , a corn picker, silage chopper, hay baler and several other configurations using the same power unit. History repeats it self! As far as raising BEEF a (QUALITY) product at a reasonable price, not to say way more or the same as others will do well! I sold finished steers on the hoof to friends and neighbors and they had them cut and packed as they wished. they made arrangements with the butcher and I would deliver the steer to the butcher.

As an old dirt farmer who grew up on a beef farm, I would tell you do it! Raise the beef. I can guarantee one customer in Indiana! I dearly miss those days, and with the world as it is now, a place to buy quality beef is so needed.

Hi Laura, I've been following you since the wrecker games and as an old country boy, I love your content. Farmers broke ground, grew it, built it, raised it, fed it and continue to lead it; and without them, there is no life. They continue to innovate like Nexat and others to increase production and yield. The most important thing is ACCESS to food. Higher yields means more food for more people which lowers cost. Knowing your food and having access to quality, healthy stuff is key. Price and affordability is key. Keep this in mind as you start your beef herd, which I 110% support. I would like to see both top notch, gourmet cuts for those special times and also bulk or affordable options that I can feed the family with. Know your food and eat well, my friends! God Bless, be safe and keep leading and innovating, young lady.

You can learn and teach a lot of people out there about rotation grazing. Even if I am outside of US and delivery will not happen to my place, I think it would be a good addition to the channel and will probably make a lot of US viewers happy on having orders being delivered to their door.

Yes to the direct beef idea. Just as your agronomist is your key advisor for corn farming, so also will an experienced managing administrator be the initial success factor for the online beef business. A safety net side hustle is a good thing for a farmer, so I'm very happy to see you diversifying. By your nature and character, I think you will become a valued employeer someday.

Totally aboard for the beef. Not only the processing but buying direct. Switched from store beef last year to slaughtered beef purcased from a farm in Ohio (I’m in Florida). Flavor, cuts, quality is amazing. Let’s see what you can do Laura. Get me on your list for future sales. Loaved the remote tractor. Tech in the fields is on a roll. Harvesting will be interesting to compare the numbers and the bottom line.
