"Life of a Farmer" features farmers of different ages on farms of different sizes and types. The documentary features the values and traditions they have in common and the challenges of adapting to new technologies, passing the farm to the next generation and lessons learned from a life on the farm. The families are not related, but their lives are all devoted to farming some of Ohio's most common crops on farms in Urbana, St. Paris, Delaware, New Paris and Plain City. Through five different stories, this special Our Ohio documentary seeks to tell one story: the life of an Ohio farmer. The five farmers profiled are Abe Hostetler, a 90-year-old retired farmer; Kenny Lensman, a 53-year-old farmer; Tim Jordan, a 22-year-old farmer; Luke Davis, a 14-year-old aspiring farmer; and Randi and Randy Dibert and their three-month-old daugher, Lydia.

I've woke up at 3 am to go pick corn it wasn't random... my body/gut said it's time to go... when a guy has experienced not being able to get it out and running in mud a guy doesn't want to experience that again...

Many farmers are committing suicide in India.Government should educate farmers on farming technologies and should provide subsidies if the harvesting fails because of rain or drought. That's why many farmers are educating their children not be farmers and most of the younger people have migrated to city to work in IT and other sectors..! This is my story too !!

No it's more like 13 to 7 363 days a year but it's fun unlike working 8-5 in a office which sucks you don't get the freedom and unless you like writing essays,planning meetings,calling companies and having a BOSS then you will hate your life.

Who doesn't like history I mean the reason I like it is because the study guide are literally like the test but in math the study guides are totally different than the test.

Though I'm going into a professional field, I frequently find myself romanticizing the life of a farmer.
When I am lifelessly sitting in front a file or in front of my computer, I vividly day dream about toiling in the hot sun and soil, living off the land with a loving, virtuous, God fearing family, intimately connected to Nature and all that she provides: The bright, spacious, blue skies of the Great Plains, the fluffy cumulus clouds weightlessly floating across which, temporarily casting shadows of relief on the ground below, and toward which the trees and cornstalks reach for the loving light and warmth of the Sun; away from the isolation and social alienation of the cites. All of which amounts to an experience providing enough proof to cure any doubts a person may have about God's existence and the gifts waiting for you in eternal Providence.
Unfortunately - as this video even shows - farming is becoming increasingly mechanized, leaving humans obsolete.
“A farmer depends on himself, and the land and the weather. If you’re a farmer, you raise what you eat, you raise what you wear, and you keep warm with wood out of your own timber. You work hard, but you work as you please, and no man can tell you to go or come. You’ll be free and independent, son, on a farm.” -

Wow! I was actually also brought up and grew up surrounded by farms. When I was a kid I really love taking care of lambs, goats, and other farm animals. My parents had a farm tho I was not even born. But I was able to experience this kind of life. It was really amazing working with nature. They won't yell at you., You can have your spare time if you needed to. You can actually have your time whenever you have problems., just go in the middle of the farm and shout so loud. I did that many times when I was around 18.. I loved everything being a farmer myself. Now that I am now got by the beauty of our coutry's city (working now for a group of lawfirm) I really miss this kind of stuff. I'm getting sick of working with computers and papers but farming did not even make me feel being sick. I so love being a farmer. I hope there's still opportunity for me out there for being a farmer. That is my destiny I think, being a farmer is the greatest job I would get.
