He's got a great set up. A big focus on housing for youngstock, perhaps a little labour intensive but I always think his stock look fantastic.
Think he milks 1700 ish? In his latest video he was in the parlour talking about fresh calvers and how he looks after sick cows. He didn't have a single mastitis cow though and said they hadn't for a week.
Even the break room is immaculate

It's complex on another level.

Yes too complicated for me, he's reusing sand and I think dry manure solids for bedding some heifer cubicles.
Perhaps his cost of production or debt is too high, but it certainly looks impressive. You'd be hard pushed to say his 'factory farm' is abusing animals.

Are u insinuating that tenant farmers havent worked hard?
Just because they never received that magical phonecall from the land agent asking if they wanted to buy?
Read the post please, rents eat up a massive amount of income for tenant farmers. Those who are lucky enough to inherit owned farms do not have the rent burden. They can therefore use that money towards buying shiny machinery.
For the majority in society, working hard would very rarely lead to purchasing a farm and shiny machinery in this day and age.

You said “u tubers cant be blamed for their grandparents working hard and purchasing farms”
The reality is it was the labour govt that made it possible for farmers to buy land by taxing estates to extinction. (Quite rightly)

How big before you get to tax a farmer to extinction for owning too much land in your eyes or do they just have to have a double barrelled surname to qualify?

Don't normally watch Tom Pemberton. But did the latest at the dairy show. Punching above his weight by the looks of the trophy wife. Doubt she even knows where the farm is tbh.
