“It ain’t much, but it’s honest work” … to get to Heaven. Meme’d Ohio farmer passes away.

Ohio’s Country Journal calls Brandt a “global cultural phenomenon” who was a rockstar within the farming industry for his no-till, cover crops and he traveled the world sharing the gospel on soil health and what separated his farm from others.
In January, after winning a “Soil Legacy Award,” Dave Brandt deflected the credit.
“I just plant the seed,” he told the audience.
“Brandt was a Vietnam veteran who returned home to farm in the late 1960s, but soon after his return, Brandt’s father died in a farming accident. He and his wife, Kendra (who passed away in 2020), were forced to sell the farm and start over with very little equipment,” Ohio’s Country Joural wrote in its obit for the legend.
Since Brandt was broke, he used a no-till method to save costs and in turn he increased soil organic matter, reduced costs and became a star.
At the time of his death, Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE), estimates Dave was farming around 1,150 acres.
