  I ask people, are you smarter than Bill Gates at business? There's
• 0:05
  lots of farmers in Australia that have been doing that long before Bill Gates thought it
• 0:09
  Now, if I was to finance my new tractor,
• 0:16
  What does he think he's going to get, free finance? One
• 0:19
  of the most radical things you can do today is buy land. There's constantly
• 0:23
  farmers buying more and more land for this exact reason. Welcome
• 0:27
  to Dollars in the Dirt. I'm Brecon Curtis, and this is where we break down
• 0:30
  the finance side of farming so you can grow your operation, buy
• 0:34
  that next property, and build real wealth. Let's get into
• 0:37
  it. Hey guys, my team have given me some videos to look at. They're different
• 0:40
  farming videos from around the world have gone viral on Instagram
• 0:44
  and they want me to see what my reaction is to how they look and what
• 0:47
  I think of them and if they're full of shit or what they are. So, here
• 0:51
  Now, if I was to finance my new tractor, what
• 0:55
  would the interest rate be?
• 1:07
  Also, there's a finance fee of $425, there's freight of $330, a software ready
• 1:10
  fee of $6,120, mirrors will be $400, the lights package will be $2,200, there's a license plate bracket for
• 1:36
  What? Of course there's all these fees, like what does he think he's gonna get, free
• 1:40
  I think I should talk to my wife about this. Rather you
• 1:47
  Of course, there's all these fees. You think you're going to get finance for
• 1:50
  a tractor at 0%, the bank needs to make money. The
• 1:53
  cost of the finance is in the price of the machine. It's
• 1:57
  going to be factored into something somewhere. This is just
• 2:00
  a tractor. Imagine what this would be on a cattle station. We're talking hundreds
• 2:04
  of thousands of dollars in hidden costs if we just
• 2:07
  let the bank put the fees in behind the scenes. You need
• 2:10
  to come to a a broker who can break all this down for you, can
• 2:14
  explain to you in layman's terms exactly what it's going to
• 2:17
  cost and how much it's going to be. One of
• 2:20
  the most radical things you can do today is buy land. No other
• 2:24
  assets can feed you, shelter you, and build wealth all at once. Well,
• 2:28
  how true is that? There's no other asset that we can actually
• 2:31
  buy that shelters you, feeds you,
• 2:35
  and also appreciates in value constantly, year on
• 2:38
  year. There's constantly farmers buying more and more land for this
• 2:41
  exact reason. They're feeding the nation. they're sheltering their
• 2:45
  family, and they're also increasing their wealth at the same time. Just
• 2:49
  quickly, if you're tired of expanding your operation to a new bank manager every
• 2:52
  year, only to get a one-size-fits-all deal that doesn't fit

  There's lots of farmers in Australia that have been doing that long before Bill Gates thought
• 3:35
  Bill Gates has bought up 0.01% of America farmland.
• 3:41
  Same as Jeff Bezos too. Like there was lots of guys buying farms before Jeff Bezos
• 3:44
  thought it was a good idea. Once you're worth 10 mil, you should buy a farm. 10 mil,
• 3:48
  you don't need to be worth 10 mil to buy a farm. Like you can buy a farm if you're
• 3:51
  worth a lot less than that. Julius Caesar bought a farm. This is a 2000-year-old technique.
• 3:55
  Guys, there's plenty of amazing businesses in Australia that have been buying and
• 3:59
  expanding before Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos thought it was a great
• 4:02
  idea. It's a well-worn path, what they've done, and these
• 4:05
  guys are just, you know, Bill Gates has just come on in the last little
• 4:09
  while thinking it's a great idea. Business owners need to keep buying more land to
• 4:12
  keep expanding, more economies of scale, getting bigger and bigger. You
• 4:15
  know, there's more people coming back to the family farm to be part of the business, and
• 4:19
  more wealth gets created by it. The more land you have, the more appreciation there
• 4:23
  is, and it creates more wealth for your family. And farming is such an integral part
• 4:26
  of our whole Australian economy in feeding the nation, feeding
• 4:30
  the world. We have some of the greatest farms in Australia, the cleanest, greenest,
• 4:33
  most natural food production systems in the world and it's
• 4:37
  such an important part of who we are and what we
• 4:40
  stand for. So guys, you saw my reaction to those videos. If there's
