Volunteers in a Corporation, how does that work ?

To answer your question. No, I was not aware, that there families owned all of the farmland, that your video showed. I am glad to see that the hard work of these families, pain off for them.

It's great that harvesting is now easier than ever

There was Scully land rented in Marion County, Kansas. One section was across the road from my farm.

I work for R.D. Offutt Farms, on one of the many farms they own. They are the worlds biggest potato producers... and its pronounce more like Off-it not off-oot. 😉

Owning land is amazing and owning a tractor is a bonus 👌🏼 it’s a therapy but unless you own a huge land there is no money in farming up to 10 acres well in my country anyway because we have no grants or subsidies as we’re not in EU

When he said that all the land adds up to around 1 million acres all I can think is that's beginner level because the average station in Australia is usually over 1 million acres easy but the smaller farms are usually only small something like 10,000 acres that's a full-time property and full-time workers but if your closer to the city which a lot people are a hobby farm is close 500 acres, its weird how America has some much land that would be so good for grazing and growing crops but there are some many people over there.

I'd like to start up my own avocado orchard but don't know where to start and know nothing about farming. Do you think I should study an agricultural degree like agricultural science, agronomy etc or seek out an apprenticeship? How did you get started? I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

@donaldberger9163

6 ай бұрын

Between the two options, I would say apprenticeship is better to help you determine if you actually want to do this. I don't think apprenticeshipd are normal in farming. You could achieve the same discernment by working on a avocado orchard. Having grownup on a small farm (chickens, cattle, sorghum, corn, pecans), let me assure you it is not much like the romanticized ideal that people often have who have never farmed. Sometimes, there are great and satisfying days...though usually it is more like the end of the day! A lot of times, you will labor in conditions too hot, too cold, too dusty, top itchy, too wet for your comfort. Then you will have to deal with all sorts of pests ..from hornets to snakes to painful fire ants (can be destructive to produce and deadly to humans on swarms) to plant diseases. If you own and operate the orchard by yourself or with a small circle of family or friends, you have the ever present concern of even surviving financially (crop insurance can help, but cuts into your possible profits) Working on a orchard for a year will enlighten you as to whether you will love it or hate it. If you are Already wealthy and you would just own an orchard and hire the labor, than a degree like you mentioned would be helpful. But you still should have some practical work experience on an orchard to make your best decision!

@johnblyth9787 This video is talking about farms you are talking about ranches. King Ranch in southeastern Texas is approximately 825,000 acres (333,800 hectares). But a lot of ranchers in the USA have their animals graze on federal land. Livestock grazing takes place on 155 million acres of public land, about 25% of the nation's public land. The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) administers nearly 18,000 permits and leases to ranchers, who must pay a fee based on how much forage an animal requires for one month, called AUM (Animal Unit Month).

@donaldberger9163

9 ай бұрын

It depends! If you are doing it by yourself (and/or your immediate family) and make your living off of it and your equipment is pretty used, you better be really fit and no chronic illness. You will be lifting heavy, performing strenuous repetitive physical activity often, Working long hours, worrying about many variables every day. There are very few days off ( mainly if it is very rainy or icy/snowy..then you are still having to do repairs or work on the books!) If you are already a rich dude, own many acres, much newish equipment, and have many employees, than you are more of a CEO like in a skyscraper office (but you'll spend a few hours daily in your pickup truck checking on aspects of the operation and running errands) and just have to be fit enough to think clearly and make good management decisions. I would say most farmers have been pretty fit throughout our first 200 years in the USA. Nowadays though, with Air-conditioned cabs and video screens in tractors, and combines, probably less so. Many days, long hours (like 12- 14 or 16) need to be put in to ensure One can make payment on millions of dollars of equipment...very stressful even with the hi tech "Toys!" One would almost have to make time to do some cardio or enjoyable physical activity to keep going for decades.

If you are looking to make the US median family income, you would probably need to farm (i.e. grow crops) on about 500 acres, assuming your million (or millions) of dollars in equipment loans are close to paid off AND you know what you are doing. It of course varies with the soil quality and the expertise of the farmer and often just plain good luck with the weather! When you think of "rich" farmers, that is more like corporate agriculture like ADM. Although I have heard that most of Nebraska's farmland is split up by only about 10 families (who would be rich, I guess...but NOT by Silicon Valley or NYC Fortune 500 CEO standards)!

This includes parcels for military bases, post offices, buildings to house federal employees undertaking enumerated functions, and the like.
