I finally got one calf jumping around the place now. Had a few early, well let's just say its been a tough year and at least it thawed enough I can dig holes now. Sigh. The most discouraging part of my farming...... Really gets me down.
33 was a tough age for me. I pretty much could have written your story, no kids, but just the same outlook and overwhelmed feeling. Everything was just looking downhill.
It gets better again. Actulally once you got crop coming out of the ground it'll look better, this is just such a dull time of the year.
But, it's that funk. A person gets through it. I was ready to rent out the farm and throw in the towel and just blah about it all.
Took a year maybe to get back on track.
I'm trying to get used to the bigger farm now. Drive past the one new field under puddles now, and hope that field will straighten out! Haven't even been able to go look at the survey flags yet, too mushy.
Got my big tractor back this week, had a winter engine transplant after breaking the crankshaft late last fall. Hope its turned to the same hp, poor old gal has to cover more acres this year.
Watching the crop markets fall again today, oh boy gonna be a fun year working for nothing, land payments, old machinery because I bought the land.
