I shoulda quit in 1988 or 2015...... won't ever have years like those 2. 1988 was so dry no weeds grew, harvest was low and early so it was like a vacation year, crop prices were high and I stumbled into a crop that grew well and the price jacked up, so it was like a vacation year, no work, same or better income. 2015 was a perfect weather year, from early spring to late fall, very little heavy rains, only one brief dry period, crops were level and even and full from the top of the clay knobs to the bottom of the wet peat sloughs every week the weather was perfect. I will never see that again in my lifetime, once in 500 years in my climate.....
The past 2 years have been wet and stormy and miserable, with low prices added in. It gets old getting up every morning and fighting water and the weeds and issues that water brings, for low to almost average yields and low prices.
Still, really looking forward to 2018, see what spring brings. Planning out the best course of action for what is likely going to be a low crop price year.
