I understand needing the income (via selling our land to live on as we get old) and still wanting our children to have our farm. That idea is almost an impossibility. I'm 63 and address this issue with my kids almost on a daily basis. The only way for a young person to farm today is to have an outside job to support /pay for the land. One of my sons graduated with a degree in agriculture. He took a job in a totally different field that actually paid "good money". He then had the income/cashflow to make land payments. He bought 225 acres (cattle farm)3 miles from my farm. We share equipment.....actually he owns one tractor and I provide the rest. I do all his haying with my hay equipment. I enjoy helping him in this way. My other four children all know I will help them too but not financially. They all also know that when it comes time for me to have to sell my farm in order to have income, that I will do so. As a footnote to JdSellers recent incident with the young man that he thinks stabbed him in the back......perhaps now is the appropriate time to sit down with this young man again and have a heart to heart talk and address the recent events and it's ramifications upon this young man's life. Perhaps he will listen now. Everyone needs a second chance. Show compassion.....he needs it, and JD....you know it.
