How much does pork cost a small farmer to grow? What and how much of each cut can you expect back? What are the choices? What sells the best? What are the ordinary percentages between live weight, hanging weight, and finished cuts? How are we to survive as small farmers in the age of vertical integration? This is the advanced class, specifically targeted toward small farmers starting a pork enterprise of their own.

materialism is okay but it's the quality of it that is in question

Masteralistic people should care about the quality of the materials they are buying, right. Framing the issue as materialism is not that simple.

Really enjoyed, and agree entirely with, your discussion of corporate/industrial food system and consumers prioritization of personal expenditures. In part because of your videos, we have been trying to confront this in our own life and go from our previous buying pattern of “supermarket for daily, local for occasion” buying to be more weighted to the latter. It is difficult from a cost perspective, but as you say it is about prioritization. One of the only effective political choices we have left as Americans, unfortunately, is to “vote with our dollars”. Thanks as always for the videos Mr. Larson. And by the way, also really like the new (?) t shirt! Would love to buy one but don’t see it in the store yet - hope to soon.

@karenw9996 2 года назад

I hope I'm not out of line, but I'd like to give you a few suggestions, which may or may not apply to your situation. If you're like me, when I was buying more from the store I tended toward prepared/processed foods, and when I bought the more basic 'ingredient' items I doctored them with a lot of flavorings, because store food is nasty & needs to be doctored to be palatable. When you buy local foods, they can be prepared simply and still taste wonderful - so you can save money on processed foods & spice combinations. If you can't manage the expensive cuts of meat buy the cheaper cuts (especially roasts) and cook them 'low & slow' (heat & time) - that helps them become tender & they'll still be tasty, certainly better that store-bought. Get used to cooking at home, from scratch, in season - it will take time, and experimentation, but be worth it. If you're able, buy bulk when you buy local - there are four pints of honey in a half-gallon, but I can buy a half-gallon jar for only 2 1/2 times what I pay for a pint; same for maple syrup, and milk & cream. Learn to preserve the food you buy in bulk. Be willing to buy the 'ugly' produce that may be priced lower (I once bought beets for 10% of the usual cost because they were "leftovers" from a farmers market a few days earlier in another town and they'd gone soft...except only the golfball size were soft, the other 99% of them were just fine...I pickled the whole batch and they lasted me a full year! There's a lot to learn when buying local on a budget, but the journey is worth it - and you can get to know your farmer(s), and they're nearly always really wonderful people! I wish you well.

@lauriesullivan6552 2 года назад

Way to go, Pete! I raised 1 pig for food. It was the best pork I had ever had. The roast were out of this world! I loved this video. You are spot on about the trips, R.V."s etc. I am for small farms!!!

@doramoritz7849 2 года назад

You are spot on with this issue, so many times people try to low ball the small farmer because they can get it cheeper from Walmart. The little guy is seen like a price gouger, and that's the way the corporations like it. With all the talk of food shortages in the near future, the local small guy should be your best friend.

@karenw9996 2 года назад

For sure! I'd been buying from a local farmer for a few years when covid hit - suddenly everyone wanted to avoid stores & buy from local farmers - my farmers had more orders than meat to fill them - so they stopped taking new customers. Lucky for me I'd already been buying from them, huh?!

@brianhayes7618 2 года назад

It's heartbreaking what has happened to the small farmers in this country. They used to be the backbone of this country. But it goes without saying the quality of your product is far superior to the corporate farm and the taste and goodness for our bodies is well worth the cost. Keep us the good work and God bless you and your family

@warrenlind2005 2 года назад

Thank you for educating everyone about the process of small farm production. I have prioritized my food purchases and moved to buying more from local farms. The milk, eggs, pork and beef taste far superior to what I previously purchased in the grocery stores. This spring I am once again growing some of my own vegetables (onions, potatoes, tomatoes, squash). All organic! Thank you for your positive talks and outlook on life in general.

@jason27swg 2 года назад

One of the best videos ever !!!! In the early to mid 80s we grew hogs one of the largest in the area. Had 4 semi loads monthly leave out. They were butchered locally sold under a local brand. Then the big boys came in the Midwest....no way there was absolutely no we we could compete with them. We grew our own feed we bought soybean meal and swine premix. Our product was a good product.....the stuff you get now is honestly pure shit. But if you don't know any different what does it matter that's what the big boys are doing they are changing everything about us. How we shop. What we buy where when etc we buy.......during covid what happen one packing house shuts down and it throws a kink into everything. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARMER...HOW CAN YOU NOT AFFORD NOT TOO!!!

@kimberlee3590 2 года назад

Perfect timing! Just came in from working with my 3 pigs. Their date is set for July 7th. I have throughly enjoyed this adventure and absolutely love the knowledge you share. This has definitely changed my outlook on cheap store meat, and my absolute gratitude for the farmers. Every time they drive by our new farm I find myself praying favor over them. And was super excited for the guy across the roadway to be tilling! Bring on the crops! Thanks Pete, for everything. ♥︎

I totally agree with your analysis of the farm industry and that's exactly why we have so few family farms today and lots of corporate farms with 1000's of acres in production. But that is true of all industry in the US today as well. Corporations control the power and use it for their benefit only.

Thanks Pete.

@tim78723 2 года назад

PREACH IT BROTHER!!! I grew up in agricultural areas in Kansas. I have watched family farms gradually decline and become something that could not be supported. I watched as my sister's in-laws had one of the largest swine production farms in western Kansas. It became harder and harder for them to maintain the level of production that their contracts called for producing. The cost to the "corporations" kept going down and the costs to the farmers were going up and the profit was nothing. They were shipping out around 200-300 piglets per week, then one day they just canceled everything (the farmer, not the corporation). They switched their fields, several hundred acres of irrigated land, to soybeans. The farmer wasn't allowed to sell any stock to anybody other than the corporation. It's sad, just sad. Thanks for sharing the stories that you share.

@Joe6packAmerican 2 года назад

Excellent videos Pete, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get to see the loading process with this batch, but that's forgivable. I'm with you 100% on the locally grown food and the quality of the stuff we find in grocery stores today. When you look at all the self storage units going up across the country you can tell just how screwed up our priorities are. A good meal with good product goes a long way. Gives your body more nutrients and needs, keeps you Fuller longer so you eat less, and your animals have a great life until they come to the end of their purpose. Keep up the great work I always enjoy your videos.

@rosalieroku3818 2 года назад

Great episode, thanks. I am stunned that it costs 2x the grain bill to process the pigs. I understand the need for food safety, but the USDA is too top heavy. Please repeat these numbers with your farm processed chickens and compare it if you had them USDA processed.

I am not blaming the farmers (corp.) , Like you said they are getting pinched right out of business and they too are just trying to earn a living for their families !

@valeriejames6316 2 года назад

You are one of my inspirations for keeping on with my great pig experiment. Was able to get a larger sow for nothing. (Was selling a horse trailer and took the girl as partial payment. I was able to do that because the price of the trailer was not negotiated down!) I don't think I'm going to keep a boar hog. I have 7.5 acres and a lot of it is down a ravine. I'm also raising goats for meat and dairy. And I have a horse, mule, and mini donkey. As well as chickens. But the pigs will be my money makers, I hope! So, here I am, a middle aged, divorced woman, doing this all on my own with the help of another middle aged woman. We got this! :)

@jayr.marchant9101 2 года назад

Thanks Pete, you are a very good communicator and teacher! We raise Dexter cattle and try our best to keep the local community supplied with good healthy beef. I get the same questions as you do with regards to price. My feeling is that the beef we sell is a very different product, and we raise our cows in a relaxed and happy environment here on our farm. There are many reasons for people to ask why why why however the reality is if you want good quality local food it comes at a premium, and I remember that every time someone asks me about price. I also remember the early mornings in winter with the frozen water lines and freezing cold hands all before I eat my breakfast. Kind regards to you and your family Pete!

@windetrails 2 года назад

Being an old farm boy from the '50s & 60's I understand the point you're making. We raised our pork and beef for ourselves only. I have always complained about the quality of meat for years until I did the research and found a local farmer, just like you, and I purchase all my meat from them. I know the meat is local Idaho meat, raised properly, and handled properly at the end in the slaughterhouse. (that's another subject altogether) I do pay more, but the quality of meat is beyond words. It's worth it to me and my family. I even feed my dogs the same meat. This is another great teaching video you have presented to your followers, maybe some will take your advice and go out and buy local. They're out there, all they have to do is look. Great job, Pete, thanks.

@sherrywilliams409 Год назад

You know Pete, it’s more important to me to have a better quality meat to feed my family. I live in Louisiana and dang it, I want flavor! Lots of it too! Quality means everything to me. I know the things I have to give up when I buy from a farmer but if and when I can find the meat I buy it. I have to get on the internet and hunt them down and then drive almost an hour to pick up. Thanks for doing what you do Pete. I sincerely appreciate the farmer

@jimmiller6364 2 года назад

You are spot on Pete about the public prioritizing everything else over purchasing quality meat from a local producer. We raise Dexter cattle and sell off of our farm and at local farmers market. I constantly have people asking us to cut our prices and complaining that our beef is more expensive than at the grocery store. We never drop our prices and always tell customers that are price shopping that we offer humanely raised, high quality beef and as with most things in life you get what you pay for... Extremely informative video.... Keep the coming!

@cat441 2 года назад

Because of watching your videos I went to our local farmer's market this week and purchased some locally raised pork and OMGosh !!! it was more expensive than I could have bought at the food store BUT the flavour was AMAZING and I liked knowing they are raised humanely and without all those questionable feeds, etc given to corporate pigs. So, I've adjusted our budget, gave up a couple meals out and maybe less spent for clothing so I can enjoy the awesome meat, going to purchase a lot, while supporting a local family farm. THANK YOU for sharing what you do and bless you and your familys' hearts.

@jcamisa50 2 года назад

@BillTheTractorMan 2 года назад

Pete, You broke this down amazingly! I still want to raise pigs in the future. I expect we might struggle to make it pencil out. I would like to raise one batch per year, keep 1-2 hogs for my immediate family, and sell 3-4 to friends and other family at a fair price. My purpose is to provide better quality foods for my family, my extended family, and friends. I know I have demand, I lack the infrastructure so far to grow the pigs. We currently are paying top dollar for locally raised whole and half hogs, and I do love supporting local. I just know my purpose in life is a producer, not a consumer when it comes to animal based products.

@johnbranch5125 2 года назад

@ruhlfamilyfarm8047 2 года назад

Excellent! It is all about priorities for sure. Pete, you present a lot of good information in a rapid fire organized manner with great passion and this was just a pure pleasure to watch! You totally nailed it on the difficult marketing job for small farmers with today's consumers and how maddening the situation can be when people say they can't afford our meat. Those same people are driving brand new vehicles and going on cruises. With the increasing costs of grain, fuel and USDA processing, the price you charge at the market has to increase accordingly. Nothing is easy, especially making a living as a small farmer! I sure appreciate all the time, effort and passion you put into making these videos! I always learn something new and enjoy every one of them! Thank you for all that you do for the small farmer.

@robertadams2201 2 года назад

@lauracampbell3110 2 года назад

Dear sir, my husband and I agree with you 100%. We currently live in Iowa, the largest pork production state in the nation. We constantly see haulers full of hogs headed to the processor. We have dreamed of starting our own farm, but unfortunately land prices around us are just ridiculous. So we are looking out of state for homesteading property. Even if land was affordable in our area, we simply could not compete with the corporate farms in our area. The corporate farmers are squeezing the smaller farms out of business, and we are forced to move hundreds of miles away to even get s foot in the door. We appreciate every video you share about on this subject. From us trying to get a foothold, to those who are already in the game, we all thank you.

@tommyt8857 2 года назад

Agree 💯%. Because of you, almost entirely, I have shifted my budget to buy meat from the local produce store and try to completely avoid meat from a super market.

@keithwest2575 2 года назад

Agree with you on all that you shared. Your quality is SO much better than the industrial processors. The proof is in the taste. I watched a video better than a year ago that focused on a group of farmers in Arkansas and Missouri that had formed a co-op with a local butcher that processed for the group at a group rate and then the distribute it through their own channels (markets as you do, on line sales, etc.). VERY interesting and educational program. Just showed how hard it is to do what you and your family are doing, but people are willing to buy local from neighbors, offering support, but mainly getting a much better quality product. Keep doing what you are doing and thanks for sharing.

@mamaAimEC 2 года назад

I love this video!!!! We have raised hogs, goats & chickens on a small scale for years. This has to be one of the most nerve racking years ever. I appreciate everything thing you are sharing with people! All truth! Even the part about pork chops! My husband's pork chops are as good as any steak with just salt & garlic.
