I start this to say- I like the Pol family. They seem lovely.
But, Charles has more money than brains. This show is not how the average person farms- and I AM a farmer.
You cannot, simply cannot start a farm with 4 ewes and 3 steers purchased from a 4H auction for thousands of dollars and expect to make a profit. Spending money to support kids? Yes! I was in 4H for many years. I support the 4H program. But I cannot justify buying livestock for tens of thousands of dollars and expecting to turn a profit.
If they actually want to start a farm, invest in livestock from a breeder. Buy quality, registered animals, and start your farm.
6 little raised beds is not a large enough garden to feed a family. Mine is over half an acre and I still buy vegetables.
My point is that its just unrealistic.
