Old Tractors, Real Farming, and One Hell of a Community : Farming Sumbitch

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Tom Corcoran, better known online as Farming Sumbitch, a first-generation farmer from rural western New York who has built something truly special — both online and in real life. Tom shares the story behind the SUMBITCH Tractor Show (Some Unique Machines Brought In To Commemorate History), an annual August event hosted on his family’s farm that now draws visitors from across the U.S. — and even internationally. What began in 2018 as a small idea has grown into a show featuring 150+ tractors, tractor rides, hay rides, live music, food, and a mission much bigger than machinery. The show raises money to support the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, a cause close to Tom’s heart after his father-in-law battled the disease. In 2024 alone, the event raised over $40,000, proving that agriculture still has the power to bring people together for something bigger than itself. We also dive into: Tom’s journey as a first-generation farmer, starting independently in 2010 What it’s really like farming corn, wheat, rye, black beans, and pumpkins in New York Why old iron still matters — including shelling corn with a 3-row picker and running classic John Deere equipment The growth of his “The Way We Farm” YouTube channel and why showing real farming still resonates How social media helped connect a small farm to a global audience Why preserving ag history matters just as much as adopting new technology This episode is about more than tractors. It’s about honoring where agriculture came from, sharing real farm life, and using your platform — no matter how small it starts — to make a real impact.
