As of today, I'm officially retired - well 80% retired. The farm that I've rented for 42 years is someone else's responsibility beginning today. I'm still gonna farm the 300 acres that we own, but there will be no cash rent payment due ever again. It's been a good run, I've enjoyed almost every minute of it, and we've made a good living at it, but it's time to let the younger guys have their turn. We sold off a good share of our machinery this past week on a Big Iron auction. We were very happy with how things sold. (Check it out on Big Iron - auction results - Feb 26 - Seller - Arvin DeBoef Retirement) It's been a little difficult to watch a lifetime's accumulation of machinery and equipment pull out of the driveway, but several of the items are staying in the neighborhood. The big tractor was bought by the young man who is going to be farming the land I gave up so that tractor is kinda staying home. The 2955 was bought by a young man that worked for me several years while he was in high school - he liked the tractor and wanted to have it. Both made me smile. We kept back a couple tractors, the combine, planter, and a few other pieces of machinery to run our farm here. Really looking forward to becoming a lazy farmer - having time to work on the old '50 Ford pickup in the shed, mowing the lawn without using the headlights, keeping the waterways mowed and the fencerow trees cut, and doing more volunteer work without time constraints. Happy with the past, satisfied in the present, looking forward to the future. Life is good. Thank you God!
