Lay in there and plow is all you can do brother. My dad had 5 bypasses done and the dr work on him for 8 hours to keep him here with us. In a month when he got to finally come home from the hospital they told him he was done couldn’t work again and needed to take it easy. Keep in mind he only had 30% of his heart working and he was a diesel mechanic but he said I’m not laying down and dying like that. Long story short he worked another17 years after they told him he was done and lived 5 more years after he finally did have to give it up.

I was off antibiotics for four days the first time before I ended up back in the hospital. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Third time to the hospital they amputated my right leg. Just had surgery to revise my amputation. My wife and son have kept everything going but it's a burden for them. When it rains it pours. I'll be praying for you brother.

Hi Chris! I've wondered where you were and figured your health problems were the reason we haven't heard from you. God bless Darlene, Treavor and all your neighbors that have helped you out this Summer. I'm glad you made this video. I've farmed full time raising tobacco and have a good sized garden every year now and you are exactly right. You will have bad years despite all you do. This year, my squash came and went fast and about the time my corn was ready to fill out, it turned off dry again. I got a little and the coons got the rest. I lost a good picking at the beginning in my tomatoes from blossom end rot but they still have made a pretty good crop despite early blight. My cucumbers and peppers have done good. People need to understand, farming is not a Monday-Friday 9 to 5 job. No matter how your health is, you can't take a leave of absence and everything will be there when you come back. Crops and livestock need to be tended to and can't be put on hold. I will pray for you and your family and yes, next year will be better. Keep the faith!

Glad you're better. I went septic 3 years ago after kidney surgery and lost the functionality of the one they tried to fix. A supposed simple surgery had me in the hospital for 10 days just to save my life. You have truly inspired me, I grew up on a farm with cattle. Hogs and huge garden. We mainly sold blackberries, the livestock and garden went in the freezer. I moved away and got a city job for 30 years. I just got a line on 15 acres down the road 30 miles before it went on the market and I'm trying to buy it. It's raw land now with a trailer but I see the potential, since it has county water, septic and elec already there. I don't have big p!ans, just a decent garden, some berries And raise 3-4 feeder pigs a year. I have to keep it simple, I'm partially disabled in my 60s and I'll be doing it alone.

Chris, I’m so sorry your health has been bad, and I’m so grateful you made it through! I’ll share this with my family and ask them to watch. You should consider a go fund me. I know it’s hard, but it could pay the bills and help you recover easier. Some year in the future I want to get some of your pigs to breed and keep, but I have to get the farm first! Please have your family reach out to youtube next time! A few extra prayers never hurt anyone. I had something different but similar, in that I have a benign brain tumor that doctors made smaller so my vision and depth perception came back (and I didn’t die), but they left a super bug in my sinuses (the approach was up through the upper gums and inter nasally). And my kidneys suddenly went from 100% down to 30%. They have since rebounded to 50%. I can live carefully with that, but the sinus issues have been around for 14+ years. I was a single parent with a preteen daughter at the time though, scary. Hang in there and don’t be shy to ask for help.

Not true at all . For example here the egg market is completely flooded and no one will pay the price you need to ask for processed chicken . No matter what method you use you can't reach a non existent market . The public also has the view that buying farm direct is buying wholesale . I can sell pullets for a profit and we do fairly good selling chicks , turkey poults sell good but as far as poultry goes that's it .

Hope you feeling better. I have been raising pigs a lot. But you make a difference. My granddaddy got me in it. We even kill our own bbq alot of them to. But anyway last year I got some that I'm catching heck to size out. I know some where cross with potbelly pig.and Tamworth was mom. I was hoping they get hams like the mom did. But they where a fail. I want to get some little girls from you when I kill these nine off.

I think the small farm is on its way back but the economy is going to shut down the people with fad/pet livestock and playing at gardening for pictures to put on Facebook

I have watched your videos and you think it's bad now wait until 2023 your going to be calling your homestead . Homesteading the going broke way . Your so backwards its kinda funny but its killing you . Your under stress from farming you cant keep depending on other to keep you afloat . You need to make a change for health reasons .

Tim Lawson- if you want to hear bs fairytales and lies about farming then go to one of those trendy bs channels! Chris here is one of the honest channels on KZitem and if you don’t like it don’t let the door hit you on your ass on the way out✌️
