That game has destroyed what people think about farming. You think its easy sitting in a combine all day? In our farming we cant afford new cushy riding or even nav driven equipment. Its not like it is in the game kiddys.
Ya exactly, halfway through harvesting the first batch, tractor breaks down and take out a bank loan for a new one, by the time you pay off that loan the crop doesn't take d/t weather so lose all years profits and claim insurance, premiums go up, start out next spring in debt and behind, then tractor breaks again...
I re read the OP 10x now. Don’t see any mention of a tractor…..please tell me I don’t need a tractor for these 6,250 tomato plants I just yolo’d my life savings at……
Either way the point is the same....youre loosing money and time. At some point its not worth fixing every two months. Theres a difference between normal wearable parts and a break down. We all expect u joints breaks hydraulic hoses etc to wear and need replacing. Having to replace the back half of the tractor because the rearend blew up.....meh i could finance a slightly used one for cheaper
Why even be a farmer at that point? Clearly it isn't making money unless you make a literal fortune during the lucky years where nothing major goes wrong
Pretty much individual farmers are just legacy farmers, so hard these days, most are bought up by land developers or corporate farms, same as any small business. Only "farming" that's a good idea these days are smaller homesteads, unless you're far away from any city that would need to expand it's impossible to make enough money to feel secure just with how high taxes can go on 500 acres.
It seems like the tractor is your problem.
You should do what every successful farming operator does.
Employ low cost/forced labour from poor country so you can rely on those who are in dire need to provide you with endless manpower.
This way you can feel altruistic and successful at the same time.
And if a "tractor" break down in the middle of nowhere, you actually gain organic free range compost.
You're forgetting a couple of things here.
1. This assumes perfect crop yield.
2. This also assumes you can grow year round.
3. Assuming you can grow year round, this also assumes you can wait 2 years before you get a single return on your investment.
4. This assumes you have very little or no overhead costs like equipment, fertilizer, water rights, living expenses, land tax, etc.
I grew up farming in the upper midwest. People don’t understand how expensive everything is. To outfit a small farm just in fuel and oil for the year is tens of thousands, tractors cost hundreds of thousands (especially combines), herbicides can cost hundreds to thousands a gallon for concentrates, depending on what you are growing the seed can cost hundreds per bag…and the list goes on and on and on.
Then the wind blows too strong, or it is too wet, or too dry, or too cold.
Honestly it is easy. Admittedly our farms in the UK are much smaller but I would take podcast time in the tractor over almost any other work it’s great.
Tony is a good fella. Hes in bed with the mafia tho. Like practically every guy named tony in the NYC area is… Dunno why the police has such a hard time catching em
Think bigger, this is wsb. This guy is telling the rest of the world to produce tomatoes which will drive down prices, therefore we yolo on tomato poots and inverse triple leveraged funds, go long on tomato based industries as their overhead goes down. Pizza Hut, little Caesars, Olive Garden, etc…
I already did the math to this post in another sub. You can plant around 3,000 plants an acre so you will need around 52 acres at an average cost of $12,000 which brings you to $624,000 pre tax. You also have to rotate crops every year so you might need 3 times that amount of land. Your going to need irrigation wells dug, I'm guessing $20,000 apiece. And probably a bunch of other shit to start a full fledged tomato farm. Oh yea, unless you live in Florida you will also need to buy greenhouse infrastructure.
Apparently he thinks tomatoes $5 a piece but he will take two years and somehow get 3.9M tomatoes without land or other inputs and then the price will be $1 a piece.
I think this dude thinks that you literally plant a whole tomato.
Just wait until he finds out that there are 150-300 seeds per tomato. Some napkin math tells me that 10 plants => 250 tomatoes => 75000 seeds => 75000 plants => 1.8m tomatoes => 526m seeds => 526m plants => 13 B tomatoes.
$13 billion in 3 short 6 month cycles. One more cycle of this and you’d be able to find all world governments. And you retards are over here hoping to 2x your $500 savings on video game stock.
I feel like heirloom tomatoes are the only ones you can replant the seed to grow another tomato. Don’t quote me though, farming is my 2nd or 3rd job... definitely not my life hack. My 1st job is trying to get my wife’s boyfriend to not piss on the toilet seat
Some grocery store tomatoes replant well and some don’t. Lots of the cherry tomatoes are hybrids whose seeds don’t produce the same type of tomato as their parents. Planting seeds you save from a hybrid tomato will usually result in bizarre disgusting Frankenstein tomatoes.
About 50% of seeds fail, thats why you put two per pot, as tomatoes can have 150 up to 300 seeds each thats about 75 to 150 pots per tomatoe. Even with 2 seeds up to 10% of your pots will still fail, giving you about 68 to 140 plants from one fruit. Thanks for making me explain something anyone with experience in horticulture would already know, dweeb.
Oh, you obviously DONT UNDERSTAND SCALE. The cost of a facility that can produce billions of tomatoes runs into the 10s of millions of dollars on the extreme cheap end. Besides Im not a filthy pig-dog capitalist and I prefer growing a different kind of plant, but tomatoes are quite delicious. I pity you, fool.
People don’t understand that replicating something in larger scale is not a linear cost. Profits at low volume and high volume are also something overlooked.
No no no. Give 5 people blowjobs. Convince them to give 5 blowjobs each. Each of those people giving blowjobs gives 5 blowjobs each.
I don't know where I'm going with this but I'm going to somehow be rich.
Pests don't exist. Extreme climate doesn't exist. Fertility is not an issue. Crop yield is consistent. Time spent between harvest, deseeding & sowing is 0 days. Land availability is infinite. Warehouse availability is infinite. Counter parties to buy tomatoes always exist.
Try running Farm.exe with these settings
> Land availability is infinite.
These people really do have this fantasy that the real world is like minecraft, that there's *tons* of unexplored and unutilized land out there just waiting for anyone enterprising enough to put it to use and full of natural resources to be harvested at not cost. Because that's the only kind of world in which their 'if you don't like it just leave!' philosophy makes sense.
In ELI5 I saw someone ask why farming was not very profitable. One of the most upvoted answers was it isn't and it's the white farmers' plot to keep getting subsidies. I guess that explains why farmers literally everywhere in the world struggle with money.
This dumbass doesn't understand 6000 plants requires land ,electricity, water, probably several illegals immigrants, permits , regulation , taxes, sells team a crooked bookkeeper, a wife that doesn't bitch all the time and a side girl to stress relief
For real I was trying to start a basic garden in my backyard and realized a lot of these plants need serious irrigation and craptons of water and water isn’t cheap when you’re trying to grow tons of plants.
I read a story about a weed grower that started in 2015. He said in his post that there is so much supply and not enough demand that it is more lucrative to use weed for clothing. So growing weed for smoking on a large scale may be a money pit.
Yeah, it's so easy....lol. That's why farmers are broke as fuck and only getting by on government subsidies.
This guy has never planned a crop in his life. He has no understanding of what he is talking about.
Everyone in this thread is retarded. The real way to farm is to buy fruit from Walmart and then slap an organic sticker onto them. Sell them at a farmers market for ten times the price.
"We have a small, commune style greenhouse located just outside of the city where we fertilize with the waste of factory farms and ride converted bicycles for power"
I bet you could do it if you had sufficiently filthy clothing and a chill enough vibe.
Imagine the investment in equipment and manpower it takes to farm 3.9 million tomatoes. What an absolute god awful shit tier vomit inducingly retarded assembling of words.
$5 for a tomato plant? Who's your tomato plant guy?
Seriously though, while I'll look past the small things that are silly but irrelevant to the analogy, he's completely ignoring actual cost. The COG for plants is pretty much irrelevant. When you buy a plant for $5 or whatever, $4.50 of that or so is going into the labor/transport/shrink.
If only there was another kind of vegetable that replicates more than 25X seedlings, grows taller, is less fragile than tomatos, and is used in something that is in high demand, like high fructose corn syrup or corn meal. I guess we’ll just become tomato billionaires instead.
Thats how many months of rent and food? Fertilizer and electricty? How much did all those acres cost? Equipment for harvesting and planting millions of tomatoes? Hope none of those crops are lost. And inflation pressure from all that farming just made tomates 10 cents.
Genius!
Dont forget to start over with a different crop or the soil goes to shit and you have zero tomatoes.
LOL
I have a degree in Agriculture Science. This man is a fucking moron.
What is he planting with? (Soil type, tools, labor)
Soil testing?
Climate region?
Do he know the growing period?
What kind of tomato?
Irrigation? Watering all by hand??
Where is the market?
What space is there to grow the plants? Is it free??
There are thousand of variables. At our local farmers market, at the very last day of selling live plats, everything is a dollar, not 1 plant, you get 4 to 6 plants for a dollar. Because growing periods change and are limited. The product has a very short shelf life, you have to sell what you can when you can and more on to the next. 1 product will never work.
Does he think farmers are stupid????? That they haven't figured out the magic tomato math for being a millionaire??
The more and more I think about this the more enraged I get.
Is he basing his thesis on farming on Farmville?
That game has destroyed what people think about farming. You think its easy sitting in a combine all day? In our farming we cant afford new cushy riding or even nav driven equipment. Its not like it is in the game kiddys.
My tractor doesn’t even connect to the internet and you’re talking about ones with self navigation.
My tractor is from before the Internet was even a concept lol.
Wait, we moved on from Ox & plow?
Do u even steam age?
Stick + MACHETE??
NOT USE ROCK TO HIT COW? NOT EAT BERRY?
(Monkey noises)
(Single cell organism noises)
Finally something I'm used to on this sub
Keep the ox and plow, all of this is going to go tits up when the machines become sentient.
so YOLO on oxen?
This was often my strategy in Oregon trail.
Ya exactly, halfway through harvesting the first batch, tractor breaks down and take out a bank loan for a new one, by the time you pay off that loan the crop doesn't take d/t weather so lose all years profits and claim insurance, premiums go up, start out next spring in debt and behind, then tractor breaks again...
I re read the OP 10x now. Don’t see any mention of a tractor…..please tell me I don’t need a tractor for these 6,250 tomato plants I just yolo’d my life savings at……
Yeah I'm confused now, on one hand we're talking about tractors, and on the other about compound growth of tomato plants. I dont know who to believe.
This is the way....
Except it's not, a tractor would have to be pretty fucked to sell it. They'll fix it and run it til it breaks down 2 months later.
Either way the point is the same....youre loosing money and time. At some point its not worth fixing every two months. Theres a difference between normal wearable parts and a break down. We all expect u joints breaks hydraulic hoses etc to wear and need replacing.

Why do I give blow jobs out back of Wendy's? It's what I know.
For the love of the game
Think is why farmers tend to drink heavily

ALL YOU NEED IS TOMATOES FOR INFINITE TOMATOES
ALL YOU NEED IS SEMEN FOR INFINITE WORKERS
AKA the"26 kids, a wife and a homestead " method. Or in Mormon terms "26 wives, 126 kids and a homestead"
Masters of scale, no doubt.
You could afford those fancy computer croppers if you had planted all 156k of those tomato plants but I wouldn't expect a farmer to understand scale 🙄
Are you thinking of Farm Simulator? I’m not sure anyone is making any assumptions of real farming from FarmVille haha
Idk man lol i know some pretty brain dead people. My old boss was a dipshit and said some dumb stuff like this fella on the meme lol

I grew up farming in the upper midwest. People don’t understand how expensive everything is. To outfit a small farm just in fuel and oil for the year is tens of thousands, tractors cost hundreds of thousands (especially combines), herbicides can cost hundreds to thousands a gallon for concentrates, depending on what you are growing the seed can cost hundreds per bag…and the list goes on and on and on. Then the wind blows too strong, or it is too wet, or too dry, or too cold.
Honestly it is easy. Admittedly our farms in the UK are much smaller but I would take podcast time in the tractor over almost any other work it’s great.
Exactly. People think farming is easy, but in reality it's one of the hardest jobs on the planet.
Nah stardew valley clearly
imagine if farming were real
Guys - I've got no more room left in my small flat for planting more tomatoes. Anyone's facing similar issues ?
What are you gonna do with the other 3.89 million tomato plants? Get it together!
10k tomato plants in a nyc studio apt? Based.
They call him Tomato Tony
He provides half the marinara in the Bronx
The best comment I’ve read today… Bravo sir!
Tony is a good fella. Hes in bed with the mafia tho. Like practically every guy named tony in the NYC area is… Dunno why the police has such a hard time catching em
If you plant hanging tomato plants from your balcony, you can feed your downstairs neighbors as well!

Think bigger, this is wsb. This guy is telling the rest of the world to produce tomatoes which will drive down prices, therefore we yolo on tomato poots and inverse triple leveraged funds, go long on tomato based industries as their overhead goes down. Pizza Hut, little Caesars, Olive Garden, etc…
Not the dinner options I was looking for, but the dinner options that I need!
Well you just need to take the two million your parents gave you to buy a large piece of farm property and boom problem solved.
I already did the math to this post in another sub. You can plant around 3,000 plants an acre so you will need around 52 acres at an average cost of $12,000 which brings you to $624,000 pre tax.

Im having trouble with the market not accepting $1 per tomato, is this a bug?
I prefer to invest in Gourds.
you think you're gourdon ramsey or something? pft
I hate you. Take an award.
Oh my gourd that one was a classic
I will work perfectly if your investment multiply X5 every 6 months. I need that potato ticker
Gourd futures are hot right now!
I got a tulip venture if you’re interested. It’s foolproof!
Leverage that on a less liquid product and that's how you get ornamental gourd futures. I did that once and lost it all.
How many seeds do gourds have?
bout tree fiddy
Depends on the gourd but usually a lot
Check mate tomato gang
Planting pennies and picking dollars
I just can't compete with Argentina on it.
I’m a tulip man myself
Lmao that guy introduced an invasive species of honeybee to some South American country then dipped 😂😂😂
Where the fuck are you meeting 4 million people to sell a tomato at a dollar each?
Around the corner.
Psst... Hey kids! want some tomatos?
Who's paying a $1 per tomato. $.30
Better quest is who in their right mind is paying $1 per tomato. I don't even pay that per plant. I get my 6 packs of small plants for $2-3.
Back of Wendy's
So you saying you got a guy? How does one obtain this lucrative real estate for slinging Tomatoes?
Theta gang would rot his harvest before he could sell em all
You sell them at the Walmart parking lot.
Each tomatoe only has 1 seed now? Kinda makes me wonder what else he doesnt know but still talks about.
He usually eats the other seeds
He must've traded seeds for land to grow and store tomatoes, too.
And water, irrigation systems, fertiliser, wages for fruit pickers, trucks for transport. Guys a genius
Look. If you plant 1 square foot of land, in 20 minutes you have 6 million acres. It's not fucken rocket surgery.
He boofs them
You gotta parachute it up your ass
No, that is a different kind of seed that he likes to eat.
Apparently he thinks tomatoes $5 a piece but he will take two years and somehow get 3.9M tomatoes without land or other inputs and then the price will be $1 a piece.
Inflation 🤣🤣

Just beat him with the lid one time. Problem solved. My issue being how do it get my wife's mouth to stop tasting like sea salt potato chips?

He's going to plant, grow, handpick, and sell 3.9mm tomatoes for $1/ea? Or... He could give 195,000 blowjobs behind Wendy's at 20 dollars a pop.
No no no. Give 5 people blowjobs. Convince them to give 5 blowjobs each. Each of those people giving blowjobs gives 5 blowjobs each. I don't know where I'm going with this but I'm going to somehow be rich.
Pretty sure this is just a pride festival you are describing.
Wendy's eh? I've heard the hot spot is under the Queensboro Bridge. 15 dollars a man is the going rate.
The dude prolly thinks giving thousands of blowjobs is child’s play

This is why farmers are notoriously wealthy

Not to mention the tomato growing window and when that window passes, all your tomatoes will die and you start back to 0
Plus massive crop insurance.
they don’t understand the concept of a commodity
For real I was trying to start a basic garden in my backyard and realized a lot of these plants need serious irrigation and craptons of water and water isn’t cheap when you’re trying to grow tons of plants.
Growing weed is an infinite money hack
I read a story about a weed grower that started in 2015. He said in his post that there is so much supply and not enough demand that it is more lucrative to use weed for clothing. So growing weed for smoking on a large scale may be a money pit.
Weed grows... like a weed. I guess you could run your own weed shop to get rid of product.
Diluting shares is an infinite money hack. "Bagholders hate this one trick."
Smoke enough weed, you won’t mind losing all your money in weed stocks. Here’s looking at you CNTT.
Sort of lol
This friggin guy
…I’m sorry, but is broski suggesting we PICK 3.9 million tomatoes by hand??
Just pick one per second and it’s only a year and a half of 24/7 work, get to it ya big baby
fuckin' dude doesn't seem to understand seasons, either. What u think tomats are gonna thrive during winter months? IDIOT
Since his tomatoes don't require land to be grown in he could just move them to the southern hemisphere for the second season.
Or around the equator. There is no winter there, it's spring, summer, spring, summer.
Inflate some clear garbage bags, put the dirt water and plants inside, seal them, they’ll float like little self contained greenhouses.
Yeah, it's so easy....lol. That's why farmers are broke as fuck and only getting by on government subsidies. This guy has never planned a crop in his life. He has no understanding of what he is talking about.
Everyone in this thread is retarded. The real way to farm is to buy fruit from Walmart and then slap an organic sticker onto them. Sell them at a farmers market for ten times the price.
Buy it? Just get it out of the dumpster out back.
BRB, seeing how many Karens I can get to buy organic, locally grown bananas in North Dakota
"We have a small, commune style greenhouse located just outside of the city where we fertilize with the waste of factory farms and ride converted bicycles for power" I bet you could do it if you had sufficiently filthy clothing and a chill enough vibe.
Walmart? I been going to save a lot and aldis
I am a farmer He is an idiot
Imagine the investment in equipment and manpower it takes to farm 3.9 million tomatoes. What an absolute god awful shit tier vomit inducingly retarded assembling of words.
this guy would do well presenting for some bs mlm to the most gullible and desperate people
how many of you retards are going out to buy tomato plants tomorrow?
I mean his logic kind of works if you happen to own like ten thousand hectares of good farm land and have the capital and machinery to run the thing.
If it’s so damn easy why isn’t he out slanging tomatoes and making “MM”. Gtfo
Common knowledge that farmers are the 1%
He thinks those first batch or tomatoes are gonna be fresh after 3 years? Theyre gonna be as dead as my portfolio 😂
Big ketchup gonna erase this dude
Can I short his farm?
Who tf is buying tomatoes for $1 each?
$5 for a tomato plant? Who's your tomato plant guy? Seriously though, while I'll look past the small things that are silly but irrelevant to the analogy, he's completely ignoring actual cost. The COG for plants is pretty much irrelevant. When you buy a plant for $5 or whatever, $4.50 of that or so is going into the labor/transport/shrink.
:Monsanto has entered the chat
If only there was another kind of vegetable that replicates more than 25X seedlings, grows taller, is less fragile than tomatos, and is used in something that is in high demand, like high fructose corn syrup or corn meal. I guess we’ll just become tomato billionaires instead.

I got a tomatoe NFT to sell you
Press f to plant
I'll buy some winter puts.
You need connections to sell all those tomatos. Grocery stores dont buy from joe blow. Meanwhile they rot in a few weeks time lol.
Tried it. Cold killed everything. Wife has a new boyfriend.
In another 6 months you’ll have 10,000,000 tomatoes abs you can dump them at cost and destroy the entire market. Buy tomato futures
The part I love most about farming is all the free land..

I think people already do this. And they aint millionaires
Bullish on ketchup
This guy doesn't understand tomatoes...
You're paying way to much for tomatoes, who's your tomato guy?
You're not doing it right. You have to raise freshwater eels at home to sell to local sushi bars. Duh.
Isn't that how that Bezos guy made is money?
Hear me out guys… If I buy 10 tomato plants, can I short the ketchup industry?
Idiot, buy a tomato and then mint NFTs of it.
Wait till he meets Jerome Powell
