After reading your post, I had to comment on one part of it. The part about enjoying plowing.
For some strange reason, a great deal of us that grew up on farms, love to plow. My first thought was that it links us with the past. Plowing is one aspect of farming that is long gone. Hardly anyone plows anymore.
Then I thought about how I used to like it, when I was a kid. I would stay out in the field, untill dad would come get me, and make me quit for the night.
With the pressures of everyday life, there is something very relaxing about watching the soil roll over. The sound of a tractor, pulling hard, is very peaceful. No one can bother you. You can't hear the phone ring.
I do quite a bit of custom work. It pays the bills. I will jump at the chance to plow for other people. I do it sometimes, at prices that don't let me make a lot. I think I do it just to get the opportunity to plow something.
I think that farming is it's own worst enemy. Those of us that try to farm, love it so much, we are willing to give our work away, just to keep doing it. It's an addiction.
My father used to tell me that you spend your entire life farming, and struggling to get by, and die broke, just to have an estate that is worth a fortune. That's what he did. That's what I'll probably do too.
I can see by the number of people on this message board, that I'm not alone.
