I grew up in a family business. Started helpin when I was 11. My dad was a landscaping and excavating contractor, and we had a 40-acre sod farm. He made his living for 35 years with a Ford tractor and box blade. He had a good reputation with all the local contractors for quality work and to this day nobody (including myself) can hold a candle to the skill he had with that machine. He retired in 1983 and I bought him out. He worked 50 years and enjoyed a whole 16 years of retirement. I scaled back the operation and took another job. but still worked 7 days a week for several years. Missed a lot of time with my 2 sons growing up in school functions, ball games, and soccer games chasin the almighty dollar. In 2008 we had a new home market crash and in need of a new cutter the sod operation ceased after 60 years. Labor and material cost played into it too. So as we striped sod crop alfalfa came into play. Got all the hay equipment for the cost of a sod cutter. Plus was mowin 4 times a year verses 4 times a week. Retired from my job in 2010 and had the hay to occupy my time. So I got a local BTO to row crop the farm now and me and momma are gonna enjoy time together and not have to worry about weavels, rain and fuel cost. She has 2 new knees and I got a new pickup. We're gonna work on spendin the kids inheritance.

The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids.
