I don't know. I saw a lot of expensive infrastructure that drives farm costs up unnecessarily. Jordan Green could probably offer this guy some good advice on how to farm without needing to count on investors to cover your costs.

i doubt he had realy mistakes. grain etc get expensive. He had alot of animals, when you basicly have to pay almost double than what it had cost 2 years ago then you could go bankrupt

You forgot the the investors ran out of money. Not the farmer THE INVESTORS

@@maryschillinger2909 doesnt matter you have to be prepared that investors/sponsors could jump ship

Would be nice to see a group of Homesteaders invest on that palce and make this Family dream continue.

Me too wish I had the space & $$ to help them out

@@danielafurlan322 hahahahaja

@@scottulbrich5376 What is funny....or hahaha means???

@@danielafurlan322 not funny Government regulations are squeezing small farmers out. And people just can’t afford to do much more than eat. Feed prices everything going up Nice thought!🙏😃

I agree and I understand his standing on it. The farm will be theirs in the future, they have a right to have a say in what happens to it, and in the process, they are learning how to take care of their land. It is awesome when an adult can step back and think like that.

maybe new sponzore ? try that

I have a feeling this is just a setback. Him, his wife and kids looked like the type to keep going where they can and things are just going to get better in the long run.

My dogs are worth their weight in gold! Absolutely love them and will never keep a farm without them!

I feel the same way! My heart goes out to them for having to liquidate.

Hope they can just downsize to something smaller soon. Seem like top notch farmers and good people

I’m so sorry for your situation.

Sorry Randy. Damn. I’ll send positive energy and prayers your way.

So sorry

Why sell the whole flock what about half and attempt to get through the hard times that's what happened for

Hell yes

Is that what happend?

Love the names!! Waylon and willie!!

I'm sad too, but I'm sure they are happy for their new home. 😊

Waylon & Willie…I love it!

My heart was crying out.....They seemed to be plugged in and successful.....Many investors don't t realize that farming is a several year investment. Once you establish breeders, processes and herds that's when it's successful. With food prices going through the ceiling, these investors are going to regret their decisions.

Me too. But I also know the Rhodes' family will be so good to those dogs.

@@sandfan1 yes, fortunate for them to be at the Rhodes' farm!! Lucky puppies!!

@@teresamariner4238 the way it sounded they only took 1. The rest will probably be split up as well 😞

Man, my dogs. My heart breaks for this young family, but, like Biblical Job, God will restore them from their loss. We will be praying for them, thru this heart-wrenching time. Thank you, Rhodes family, for being in a position to help them out with what you did, ...and maybe more?!?!? Bless you ALL!!!

@@staceya9580 fr that dog is not going be the same😔

I agree!

Yes, I agree. Two guard dogs can help protect each other AND the animals. They can keep each other company too.

Also, coyotes are known for luring a single dog away then coming around while the dog us gone

he was raised with the other dogs messed up they only took one

@@mommadee9128 💯

Amen to that, farms are truly our life's blood.

I totally agree! I also parted ways with two of my dogs and I remember hugging them the night before I gave them away the next day when I liquidated a business of mine four years ago. Now I am into backyard farning as we call it here in the Philippines and I totally relate to the experience of the couple. I wish them all the best! Regards to Justin.

explain to me please, how does this work with investors money, who/what are the investors?

Absolutely build it on your own. Makes me sick to watch this. Started out with one cow 7 years ago. The business model must cash flow monthly. If you do a partnership make sure U-Save every single thing in writing. Save every email and text message. Unless you like going to court and spending a lot of money

I thought the same thing.

I don't think these prices neccessarily is what is forcing them to sell. But scary to think other farms could sell out because of this. We are already loosing farm land rapidly as it is.

@@Kylejohn33 The government's stated goal is to own 1/3 of the land in my state. A particular big business gentleman is working on a pretty large portion already making that a realistic possibility.

@@heidiweinert3260 what state are you in? What is their intention with all that land once they acquire it?

@@Kylejohn33 "Bill Gates owns 242,000 acres of farmland in 19 states. In addition, he owns 25,750 acres of transitional land and 1,234 acres of recreational land for total land holdings of 268,984 acres. His largest holding is in Louisiana (69,071 acres), followed by Arkansas (47,927 acres) and Arizona (25,750 acres)" Something about cows and climate change and sustainable energy, meatless meat technologies. I don't trust him at all. Especially since he said its unfortunate that Omicron is milder and evading vaccines he is heavily benefitting from as well as him cozying up to renowned pedo Jefferey Epstein. America to me is small town farms. Farms like this couple who was trying so hard to make it. I don't like this at all. Sad in a sense. Tragic. Also, the Chinese are buying up our farmland, as well. There is no limitation where or how much foreign nationals can buy our land. Price of land is so high that nobody "normal" without investors can afford to buy.

@@pmccoy8924 he’s an American using the capitalist system to buy land, so he’s allowed to buy that land…..

God is good!

Investors look at the bottom line, not how great the people are or how pretty the operation may seem. There was a lot of expensive things in that property when you look in the background and a lot of livestock. There’s a reason cattle have been free ranged for centuries and not under an expensive pole barn.

@@bigpoppacrakahh2327 Not over winter when there is snow and ice covering the pastures...

@@bigpoppacrakahh2327 you’re right, I’m not a homesteader or farmer I don’t see all that you did because I just don’t know I just felt bad for that young couple. Thanks for commenting I’m learning, too old to homestead or farm but love watching blessings!

There is no way for any of us to know what happened. The investors might have got caught out in the recent market pullback and needed liquidity to cover an over-committed portfolio. They could have shorted some items as a hedge and got wrecked by some of the recent commodity price explosions.

Justin doesn't care about that!

For the life of me I can't understand why he only took one dog! He isn't ignorant. Why Hunter didn't insist on selling the girls together. Breaks my heart besides being less efficient

When you have everyone else paying for your things decisions like that are easy to make.

@@bigpoppacrakahh2327 not sure what you mean by that. They aren't on government assistance from what I can see. They run a business. Business owners tend to have a lot of money put away for situations just like this.

@@babybluehashyo i think he was referring to their KZfaq income which is likely around $75-100k+ per year. im not discounting their achievements and hard work, but they likely would be in deep poverty if their sole source of income was from the crops and livestock that they sell. im not saying Justin does this, but many of the homesteader gurus act as if its a very profitable thing that anyone can do, but in reality they are youtubers making the vast majority of their income from the youtube channel, and of course buying land is a large investment to begin with. my point being that the average joe cant quit their job, buy 10 acres and start a self sufficient permaculture homestead. but yes, as a business owner myself, any smart businessperson does have money saved up at the end of the year to be able to expand the business if a good opportunity arises, but its mostly about emptying the company bank account to avoid income taxes

I hope this isn’t not a harbinger of things to come. 😢

There land is not in proper grazing status at this moment. It would behoove Sow the Land to let the land regenerate for a year before getting grazing animals. They seem to have their hands full at the present just getting settled. JGiles

reach out - maybe there is still time for another round of investors to step forward.

@@AB-ol5uz He's selling all the infrastructure.

No business management. Everything bought on a whim. Hobbyists.

You missed the point of this video! Justin got an amazing deal by cleaning out some poor family's farm. I would bet that this young farmer even bought Justin's Abundance plus subscription. It would literally take a week for Justin to do a GoFundMe for this guy and help pick him up again. I guarantee he doesn't.

@@jackantwon9639 Im not sure I agree that that was the "point" of this video. But your comment was confusing, in general. Are you criticizing Justin Rhodes and insinuating this family is loosing their farm because they bought Justin's app? And are you insinuating Justin isn't the type of person that would help out a fellow homesteader in need? I am genuinely confused so thank you in advance for clarifying!
