In Reply to: Why do i farm? posted by ProudCubOwner on June 27, 2009 at 23:58:46:
I was raised on a farm and left when I was 18 because we still had the draft and Dad and I felt it best to get my service out of the way rather than get started farming and then have to leave. During 4 years in the Air force, I got married, started a family and never got back to farming. Almost did at one time, had my wife talked into it, but by that time land prices had skyrocketed and there was no way possible to do it. Worked 38 years for a hydraulics manufacturer, had good jobs there most of the time, but it was not the same. After 15 or 20 years, I don't think I could have stood the rigors of farming anyway.
My advice for what it's worth, do it now... if it doesn't work out in several years, it will be easier to step away from it than to get started again.
