I was just asking myself the same thing.
Today being Sunday, I cultivated the zukes, cukes, melons and tomatoes, replaced the battery in the H, worked up a little ground and planted this weeks arugula and radishes.
I have always wanted to farm, but we were raised in town. My Dad"s brother wound up with their family"s farm. It is all houses now. This has been my full time gig for 12 years. I like it.
I think the problem here is that I need to step away from the harvesting and packing, and do more of the field work at the time that it needs doing. I"m thinking that because it is 7 pm on Sunday and I"m calling it a week. Not really, I still have to enter orders and get ready for when our crew shows up tomorrow morning at 8 am.
There needs to be time to work on my car, paint the house, mess around with my bikes, take Mary out to dinner, something other than working on the farm.
Maybe that"s your problem too. If you really don"t like it, get out now. It will kill you. It might actually kill you, so the risks are not worth the rewards unless it is something that you like doing. On the other hand, if you don"t like milking twice a day, every day, or don"t like sitting in a tractor while the GPS drives you around, is there a way that you can change it so that you do like it ?

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
