Conversation with my dad about the history of our farm and how we got where we are.
Border View Farms is a mid sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. We raise corn, soybeans, and wheat on a little over 3,000 acres.
My name is Nathan. I run this channel and farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. I get questions about how and why we do things on the farm frequently, even from my own family members, so to help explain things it's easier to just show you. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture in general as well as dispel some of the common misconceptions.
I hope you enjoy my content and please ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can.
I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and liking my videos.
You can reach me through messages on Facebook or Instagram @borderviewfarms or by email bakernth@gmail.com. Please don't call my parents house!

Spur of the moment interview on the farm. My mistake, I greatly appreciate my wife Lisa, could not have raised four great children without her.

@mrdio4625 2 года назад

As my dad likes to say "In front of every great mean stands a greater woman , she has to be greater to tolerate us".

@lisabaker8490 2 года назад

Don't forget you married me in 1984. I get a little credit, as without me, Nathan would not be here. Lol. It's been a great life, not always easy but definitely something to be proud of. God has richly blessed us!!

Good morning. Thanks to dad for allowing us to be a part of your farm and farming experiences. We appreciate seeing you in Nathan's videos. Happy harvest. Big Numbers !!!

@SteveMccarthyAus 2 года назад

Luck might get you so far but your Dad and others in the buisness must have a pretty good eye for business to have taken the farm to where it is today, Please pass on a big thank you to your dad for coming on camera and helping with this video

You are so fortunate to be able to work with and learn from your Dad. Education is great but the things you learn from him over the years aren't taught in school.

@BrightRaven777 2 года назад

Thank you for being on video with your son. Nice for us to be able to see you and get to know you. More importantly though, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be able to hear your voice, and see you guys interacting with one another.

@mrdio4625 2 года назад

I've been wanting to see this video for over a year now, thanx to your dad for doing something he probably wasn't a big fan of but did it anyway , and most of all THANK YOU for the hours of time you have invested in this channel and the attempt to teach a few of us city folks where our food really comes from and the hard work involved. May the next year be even better.

@granthilbert5632 2 года назад

Really enjoyed listening to the History of your guys’ farm! From a young guys’ point of view- really interesting hearing about some of the struggle back in the 80’s for all producers. Wishing a safe & successful #Harvest21👍

@timgear9892 2 года назад

Your Dad seems healthy, and for sure his brain is working. You are lucky. Learn from him. His experience isn't taught in any book.. I sure miss my Dad.

@dandevries6954 2 года назад

Thank you so much!!! Mark it was great of you to share the journey it took to get Borderview Farms to its current state. Loved this video.

@scottpykare801 2 года назад

I gotta say Nathan, this video was awesome! It reminds me so much of me and my dad talking in the tractor or combine. I lost my dad in May of 96 when I was 30. I teared up a few times watching you both interact. I miss him everyday. It's me and my uncle and our boys along with 8 employees that run our farm now. 5th generation at this point. One of the reasons I've watched you from the beginning is how you and your dad work together. Just like me and my dad did. Thanks again. Back to harvest prep. Take care 🙂

Amazing what you can do with some drive, desire and tenacity even in the really lean years. Your dad is a testiment to what Americans hope to strive for.

@hfff1 2 года назад

Thank you Mr. Baker. I used to know your first name many episodes ago, so you being able to recall your farm history so clearly has me a bit envious. Please think of taking a camera with you once in a while to give us your prospective. I love the dirt moving, tree line maintenance and log milling. Thanks again!

I find it extremely interesting that when you see other farmers go out of business Border View seems to really succeed and shine. You can have the right number of acres, weather, crop prices, and the best equipment but smart people always seem to make a big difference. Thanks Nathen

Priceless. You'll watch this video in 20, 30 or 40 years from now and be damn glad you done it. I buried my Dad this past July. Many things I wish I'd have done and a video like this one of them. I'd be interested to hear your Dad talk about how he built his kiln. My Dad ran two of those, 45,000 board feet each, back in the day from a fuel oil boiler. He worked 49 years at a gunstock factory.

@darrelllowery8854 2 года назад

Love all your videos but especially this one since I’m 72 retired from farming and my kids chose to leave the farm, one to law other to medicine so I rent out my ground to a young farmer neighbor so I remember all the years the joys and all the droughts. I made 50 crops good ones made me proud and bad ones made me smarter. Keep up the good work and congratulations on 500!

What was the highest interest your Dad paid while farming? I was paying 20% in the early 1980's and my Dad retired and I sold out everything and quit farming. It is fun to watch your videos. Your Dad proves what can be done!

@BorderViewFarms 2 года назад

I asked him this. His answer was 13% said "We were poor back then and were able to get FHA loans with the interest rate bought down"

Great Video Nathan, good chat with your dad on the farm history. I bet he does feel lucky that he started farming when he did. I know he has worked hard and made good decisions along the way. Wouldn’t be possible any longer to start a farm and grow it on hard work and good decisions alone. Keep up the good work and have a safe harvest.

@stefansalemink1205 2 года назад

500 !! Congratulations. I've seen them all and wasn't even bored. You have the most informative RU-vid farming channel that is also the closest to reality. You would have deserved the subscribers that someone else got with glam farming and comedy. Your parents, your uncle, your wife and your children give you this great farmer family that we all love to watch in their daily work. (not to forget Brock and your younger sister) To the next 500 !! Warm greetings from Germany .

@KCAATV 2 года назад

Many years ago, I asked my dad the same question, (what would he do differently looking back). He said about the same thing as your dad. I never asked my mother a similar question (maybe I didn't want to hear the answer), but I think her answer would have been somewhat different. Somehow, they managed to stay together 62 years on the same farm. I don't think enough men realize the importance of a strong farm wife, who will silently pull on the rope and make so many things happen correctly behind the scenes. This discussion was omitted in the interview with your dad. I think a similar interview with your mother would be enlightening and well deserved.
