Well depends on when you want to figure I started bought my first bred gilt at the age of 6 put her in to dads sow herd we exghnage of labored the feed and utilities kept expanding my part of the herd then when I was 12 dad went back to driving a truck I tried to keep the 80 sow herd going it worked for about a year but was to much for me while being in school and dad only home on the weekends mean while i was already showing a few calves so I plowed under dads old hog lots cleaned up the buildings and sowed them to grass had 5 cows and a 30 our a week job on a hog farm of a friends then I went off to college and sold the cows for money for school. Started working at the local Case IH dealer there graduated and went in to parts department took about a year and decided I did not like working for the public the hog farm I had worked on in highschool was looking for a manager so I went back there and about a year later my friend and his wife wanted to move closer to the base of his family farm as this was a satelite facility so they offered it to me and I took them up on it went thru all the hoops and jumps to get a begining farmer loan from USDA Now I am 26 years old married and make a living Farming fulltime with 122 farrowing crates that rollover every 3 weeks I ship about 21000 pigs a year and am contracted to a local family owned producer The contract helped as much as any thing because it took out a lot of the risk and capital expense of breeding stock. I have been building my cowherd back up slowly and bought a G900 MM and blade still go get some of dad's old equipment if necessay

Sorry for the lnog story but that is mine to date I like to pay cash if possible but do borrow money and payback quick ASAp

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
