Four years ago, I launched this YouTube channel to chronicle what I thought would be a seven-year journey of someone going from no previous experience in agriculture to making a full-time job out of life in agriculture.
In year one, I highlighted the trials and triumphs of a first-time sheep farmer in a candid vlog-style format. I was determined to grow food for the security of my family and community, even if I never made a dime.
In year two, I highlighted what I began to uncover in terms of the dark, inner workings of the United States food system—inner workings that have, for the better part of 70 years, been squeezing the small farmer out of existence and putting our food system into the hands of just a few major players.
In year three, I focused heavily on encouraging new farmers to find unique market streams and ways to value-add if they, too, were venturing into agriculture as a career. At the same time, I celebrated how, through the same means and by the grace of God, I was able to go full-time into agriculture—in three years instead of seven.
Now, this put me at the beginning of 2024, wondering what was next for the channel. So I took seven weeks off to pray and ask the Lord where to go next:
And in 2024, He opened doors that I never could have opened for myself. Doors:
- To create content highlighting the importance of exercising our constitutional rights before they are gone for good.
- To obtain a media pass to one of the most significant court hearings for food freedom in 2024.
- To interview members of Congress who expose the Big Ag agenda at the government level.
- To assemble a visual picture of the global green energy scam and how regenerative agriculture is an overlooked answer to any legitimate climate concerns.
- To film natural disasters that show us why prepping is not just for the apocalypse.
- And to uncover facts that show how history itself is being rewritten to the detriment of modern-day.
I ended 2024 coming full circle with a series showcasing how, amidst endless waves of change, shepherding—that thing I committed to in 2020—abides as one of the most steady and durable professions a person can invest in.
And now, I am saying goodbye to you for seven weeks for the same reason I stepped back for a minute in 2024: to be still and be sure that whatever direction I barrel into next is the one I am supposed to be going in and not simply the result of moving so fast I can’t stop.
I want you to remember February 13th, 2025.
That is going to be, Lord willing, the date of my next upload here on YouTube.
If you have questions or video topics you want to see covered on the channel in 2025, comment below. I will put them onto my 2025 content spreadsheet.
And if raising sheep is on your radar for the future, I have a parting gift for you below: my new eBook for 2025 that will answer the question, “Where do I start when it comes to farming sheep?”
Thank you for your support in 2024.
