The Incredible Pol Farm

I love watching The Incredible Dr. Pol and now I also love watching The Incredible Pol Farm by Charles Pol and his wife Beth and his brother in law! Thank you for starting this new series! Very heart warming and enjoyable to watch. Love your hobby farm! Each episode is very interesting and I love watching the animals and adventures! I hope the series is on for a long time to come! The merino sheep is a great investment. Clovis is a very happy herding dog. Love the garden and can't wait to see the old barn reconstruction. I thought it was a interesting idea for the sheep enclosure. Can't wait for the next episode!

I totally loved this show! I'm a fan of the Incredible Dr. Pol show, too - about his veterinary practice - but this show has a totally different dynamic. It's been so much fun to watch the different projects come together but especially the relationships in the family. The mistakes, the successes, all pretty relatable. The show really shows the love they show for each other and they manage to have fun even when working on tough projects. Would I do things the way Charles and Beth did them? Probably not. But we are all different with different preferences and likes. The show is really well made and just enjoyable to watch!

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.
