Giving up crop farming and raising livestock was a tough decision for my husband... but working full time and getting older made it harder to do. I know it was difficult for him the first couple years when the renter would roll in to plant and/or harvest.
But also, for both of it was a stress-reliever, no more worries about the weather or about him getting injured because he was just too tired after working 10 hour days at the factory 5 or 6 days each week. It was (as still is) nice to just be handed a rent check every May 1.
But once he got adjusted to NOT-farming, he has said several times that he wonders why in the world he waited so long to quit. He enjoys being able to take on a project just for the pleasure of it... like buying our rusty Regular and getting it running.
Hope you will have peace and happiness in your decision.
