Wouldn't be your cup of tea. Its badass Americans stepping up to help their fellow farmers dealing with tragedy.
Yes. I was able to view it after Xing the dialogue box that popped up.
Reninded me of my grandpa many moons ago. He was a custom harvester out of Kansas and harvested all over the country. He'd gotten word there was a tornado down in Oklahoma and it wiped out a bunch of farmers combines and other equipment and it was harvest season... so he sent two complete crews down there for as long as it took ro get those crops out of the ground and helped saved aome family farms... farmers are just a different breed.

Here is a KTIV article.
Let me guess farmers are just a notch above a fireman.Yeah, no one ever helps the farmers.
When it comes to biggest cry babies asking for help?
1. Teachers
2. Farmers
Firemen are not really crybabies, at least not in my experience.
After fireman the American farmer are the biggest hero in our country!Yeah, no one ever helps the farmers.
I mean, they would for sure tell you that they are!
Meanwhile, cops are attacked and vilified.
..love farmers, lots of farmers in my fam. they're all out of it or dead now but i still hear some of the stories.
...dad told me plowing all day was so boring he'd stop the tractor and run around the field yelling and waving his arms to keep from going to sleep.
..uncles used to all pitch in to buy a buffalo and have a barn party. Entrance was a bottle,.and a side arm. When everyone was drunk enough they'd release the buffalo in the closed barn and have at it. Buffalo meat for all!!
Grandparents who did the custom harvesting would fish the farm ponds in the fields they were working and whateber they caught, was lunch or dinner.
....when you changed the oil on your whatever you pulled the plug and let it drain, they didn't catch anything
Car or truck died? Pull it round back and let it rot in the field.
Farm cats got fed left over bacon grease.
Like I said, they're just built a lil different. One of them moonlighted as the county sherrif. Guarantee he was drunker than anyone he ever pulled over. Haha

Name another business where the owner cannot set their own prices?
Right after the depression it was decided to supplement farming to keep a stable, consistent and affordable food supply in the US. Trying to avoid up and down swings of drought and disease. Sounds good on paper but to an extent is a lot of price controls on selling but none on input costs. Most businesses can set their prices to competition farmers, not so much. I lived in farm country and can’t think of a more difficult profession with political issues, regulations, water fights, weather and disease.
Lol. What? Prices aren't set by the government. They can charge whatever they want. Price controls? The only price controls are the floor, not the ceiling. Prices go too low and the government starts getting even more involved by doing things like CRP signups.
Not to mention farmers LOVE hiring kids and working them like dogs for next to nothing...
Not true. But you know that. Just another profession you hate because you became a teacher. And could not handle the work family owned farmers out in.
I worked on a farm and my extended family owns a farm.
More than 7,000 people detassel each year in Nebraska, according to the state; 80 percent of them are under 18. Row crop production pairs well with the availability of rural farm kids, who have long performed chores before they ever clock hours onto a timesheet. In an era of labor shortages, mechanization, and shifting youth priorities, these teen workers serve as a rare, essential link in the farm labor chain.
It may be true that Nebraskans fukcing rule. But it’s also true that Rhule is fukcing Nebraskans.
Farm programs have controlled productions and prices, most often artificially for years. When I live in GI in the late 70’s to early 80’s they hade the pick certificates where they paid farmers direct to not plant. There are built in subsidies for crops depending on what it is. The drought has brought lots of problems to farmers along with record crops in Brazil. It is a highly manipulated market with futures, government supports and what local grain elevators pay. So no, they don’t have the ability to set their own prices on their products. A friend at church, now retired owned storage elevators across Nebraska, Kansas and some in Colorado. Bit Husker fan. Talking to him about the business and it is totally insane. There is government involvement in what you plant, how much, where you store it everything in between. The government says they are attempting to maintain good prices and adequate supplies so there are no major spikes. The first time prices spike it is all plastered on the news and it is Trumps fault.
Those are all price controls floors. The government manipulates acres planted with CRP or subsidies, but doesn't directly impact prices or yields. Farmers sign up to be in the USDA program. It's voluntary. They literally ask the government to be in their lives. This is what farmers asked for. They lobbied for everything that is in place in the farm bill.
Gee, I wonder if record crops in South America had anything to do with the first trade war with China? Self-inflicted problems. You repeatedly vote against your own interests, don't cry about it.
Adequate supplies? What? How many millions of acres are planted to burn as ethanol, which is a total waste.

And those kids love having those jobs! They make a ton of money (for them).
Would you rather have illegals doing it?
Yep! Did it for 2 summers. Used to run up ahead and dig a hole and
Cover it with stocks! Good times
I would rather they just not ***** non-stop about how hard farming is ALL OF THE TIME.
Usual suspects showing they don’t belong in a decent society. Imagine how unhappy and broken someone has to be with their miserable lives…. That they use this story to **** on people and apparently bring politics into it. The very same dipshits who cry every time there is a political thread, and claim they aren’t the issue. Seek help you retarded sub-humans.
I mean, you literally come to every thread to complain about everyone and call them horrible names over and over...but then if someone else chimes in you get so hurt and offended.
You should surround yourself with some mirrors, it would help you see how you act.
They gotta talk about something when they are complaining about the rain or the lack of rain...while drinking a cup of Sanka when it is 103 degrees outside.
You’re the most jealous person I know. You wish you were anyone other than yourself.
