Oh yeah the 80'S. I bought a farm in 80. Interest was 9%. I was on floating interest and by 85 or 6 I was paying 16%.
No money left to put food on the table for my wife and 4 daughters.
I took a job at a welding shop and worked 40 hours a week. All the while I had about 80 sows, farrow to finish. 30 beef cows and 200 acres of corn and beans along with hay ground.
Stayed at the weld shop to help get the girls thru college.
Worked at the weld shop full time till 2000 when dad died and I took over his cows and row crop as well.
I still help at the weld shop part time, when he needs extra help, to thank my boss and friend for helping me get thru the tough times.

I haven't had Hamburger helper since the youngest finished college. I don't miss it a bit.
