If you’re building a farm, you’ll need to understand plumbing. Plumbing can seem hard to beginners, but so long as you can follow instructions and have the proper tools, anyone can learn basics such as how to join pipes.
Our goal is to teach you how to get your systems all plumbed up and pumping nutrients to your plants! To that effect, we are kicking off a “Basics of Plumbing” series, led by our own expert, Sean Schaub. Sean has installed dozens of systems and knows his hydroponic plumbing well!

![Farmer Tip #9 | How To Stay Focused When Things Get Tough
Starting the farm was a big life transition for Matt and his family - before moving to the country and building a tiny house, Matt, his wife, and their daughter lived in an apartment in the city.
Despite the rapid change, however, American Heartland Acres has had a fairly smooth ride. Matt attributes this success to clear goals and a whole lot of hustle.
The best thing that new farmers can do for their farms, says Matt, is having a clear goal and sticking to it.
You have to figure out what your farm is going to accomplish. Not its brand - but what is it going to accomplish. Thats the most important thing.
When farmers hone in on a solid goal thats close to their passion, they can do almost anything. Not only does their focus create fuel for the hustle required on any farm, but it makes every decision you make clearer.
When youre working towards a goal, every strategy and decision comes down to a simple question: does this help my goal or hurt it?
It also means that when something goes wrong in the farm - a radiator goes out, you forget to turn on the A/C, etc. - youve got a strong reason to move forward anyway.
When it gets tough, when it gets hard, I [remember] that theres a reason for it, theres a higher goal for it.
