Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

[thorpe]

I think a vast majority of farming Youtubers have run out of ideas and to put it politely, they are now just filming tat just to get content up on the tube.

I could name a few that would be better just putting the camera down every now and again and just focus on filming things that are actually quality but then it's quantity over quality that pays with the video watch hours per month.

I tried to get into one channel (will not say name because he seems like a salt of the earth guy) but it's all forced fun, the keywords are always 'laughs' & 'banter'... but it's all forced, cringy and most of the time non existent.

Good to see Chuckie2009 back uploading welding videos, but for how long he will keep his political views off his channel and it on the air is yet to be seen.

i know what you mean but dove farms never fails to please a real good bloke, not your typical yorkie (tin hat)!

Dont really watch a lot of the youtube folk from a few years ago kind of much of the same but thats no fault of their own just hard to get variety if you are always doing the same thing. One person who i do still watch though and have since he first started is andy from its a farming life for me. Same age and similar background. commentry and videos are well put together and can relate to his farm and way of doing things and seems an all round nice chap

Harry is the one, IMHO, that strikes the right balance. Perhaps too dry for some but I will watch a proper comedian if I need a laugh rather than a wannerbe.

Larsons haven't faired much better, bin/shed damage and damage to one of their 9RTs

Think it's an 8RT. 6hrs on the clock and nearly all windows smashed by debris by the looks of it. Why when they knew the storm was coming didn't they stick it inside!

Maybe safer outside? Millennial farmers shed blew down. Luckily tractor was parked out the door.

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

And I'm sure they'll milk it for all its worth video wise for the next 12 months at least..... Be plenty of other farmers over there hit that don't have the funds behind them like those 2 do.

Good for them! Wish I had a personality for making YouTube videos.

How's your youtube channel going?

MFs shed was an open fronted older machine shed so can see how the winds got under it. He can fit all his kit in his newer workshop which survived unscathed from what I've seen as did Larsons new shop which would have been where I'd stuck a brand new JD

Certainly won't get rich out of it But that's never been my intention. For me it's just putting down a history of our farms for grandkids and great grandkids. (not that I have either yet...)

It’s like a lullaby,I fall asleep watching them.

Millennial Farmer has done a lot of work with a charity over there to help farmers who've had their grain bins destroyed like this.

I believe it has been to purchase training and equipment for rural fire stations for conducting grain bin rescues due to the number of deaths.
