Lower started making videos three years ago to showcase what farmers do . He started making the videos just of his family working hard on their dairy farm , but people saw them on his YouTube channel and started asking him to film their farms as well .

“ I film everything that farmers do every day , like making hay , planting corn , harvesting , anything farm related ,” Lower said .

His mom , Merlene Lower , said he does it all by himself .

“ I watched other videos on YouTube , and a friend of ours , Annie Schlabach , made a video , and I kind of got the idea to do one of our farm ,” Lower said .

Lower uses his phone , a drone and a Go-Pro for his filming . “ I started with just my phone , but then I got a small drone for Christmas . Then I got a better drone for my birthday , and now I have a camera for my phone for even better quality to my videos ,” he said .

His YouTube Channel , Lower Dairy Farm , has 645 subscribers , and he is hoping that will grow . “ Once I get 1,000 subscribers , I can start to make money from the videos ,” he said .

Lower had about 100 subscribers his first year and added about 500 more the second year . He has a video from a tractor pull at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville , Kentucky that has more than 18,000 views . He also is on Tik-Tok and has a video of someone making hay that has 14,000 views .

Lower doesn ’ t charge to create his videos , though people have offered him money for his skills . He just asks people to subscribe

to his channel . After he films for one to two hours , he spends two to three hours editing short videos . Longer videos can take four to six hours to edit . He adds music , cuts parts of the videos and speeds up or slows down the video . He only talks in two of his videos — ones that are year in review .

“ I don ’ t like to talk on the videos ,” Lower said .

His videos are very creative . “ It ’ s just a hobby . I like doing it . I want the world to know what the world of agriculture is like ,” he said .

His videos are seen by people all over the world . Many people leave comments after they watch a video , and Lower enjoys reading them . “ Sometimes , they just say ‘ good video ,’ but sometimes , they ’ ll ask a question like what kind of tractor is in the video ,” he said .

There are about 70 videos on his channel now . Lower asks his friends and neighbors if he can film them while they are working . “ Lots of times people will text and let me know what they are doing

Submitted Brady Lower has his own YouTube channel that shows life on area farms .

and ask me to come out and film ,” he said .

Lower isn ’ t interested in college right now but is considering learning diesel mechanics . “ I could save money by fixing stuff myself then ,” he said .

Lower wants to stay on the farm and milk cows . “ I don ’ t really like crowds ,” he said .

His mom said being on the farm gives him plenty of freedom to roam around .

Each of his videos starts the same way : A picture of his favorite cow , Maggie , appears and then a recording of Paul Harvey . “ And on the eighth day , God looked down on his planned paradise and said , ‘ I need a caretaker .’ So God made a farmer .”
