I have been around farming as I grew up. Dad had hogs before the market dropped in the 80's and I worked on the neighbors dairy farm daily, now thats gone. I moved to IL a few years ago married the farmers daughter and I help them on a daily basis. I have a small heard of dairy feeders myself I raise from bottle to feeders or eaters. I am worried now cause I have about 30 head from 150-700 but not much of a market the way things are looking. I don't make much but I do like having the animals around. Keeps the barn they are housed in in good shape. It is from the 1850's an old sears kit barn that is still in good shape for the age. I would love to buy some ground myself and start on my own but I don't see how I can do it and keep afloat the way ground prices are and thats not even figuring in equipment. Farming seems to be drying up as more houses are planted problem is they are never harvested.
