A Look at Farming’s Demands – And Rewards

Howard W. Buffett offers a sneak peek of planting preparation on his no-till farm near Tekamah, Neb., and talks about why he chose farming over every other profession.

As the grandson of multibillionaire Warren Buffet, Howard W. Buffet could have designed any legacy he dreamed. He chose farming.

“It’s hard work, but it’s not hard to understand how important that hard work is,” he says.

Buffett recently made a video as he readied his operation for planting season on his 400 acre no-till farm near Tekamah, Neb. In the video below, he describes the importance of no-till, cover crops and other practices he’s putting to use on his farm.

“Farming has a lot of demands,” he notes. “But it’s also incredibly rewarding.”
