My motto the last 15 years has been, " The less I farm, the more money I make"
Sold the cattle last summer, paid off all the debt. I share crop the row crop ground and get 1/3 of the crop for no cash outlay.
Plus I now have time for my hobbies, ole tractors.
I tried the part time stuff. I would be in Arkansas working and the wife would call to say the bull was gone, or the water froze up. I would be in Oklahoma working and would get a call, one of the cows was real sick and was down. Sold them to a neighbor and now I can drive by and look at them. Best thing I ever did. It was different when my dad was alive, he could cover these things.
Dont get me wrong, farming is the best life there is, but you just have to do one or the other ( I am talking livestock here). The part time stuff is a killer. Farming, or dairy is too unpredictable. If something goes wrong, you need to be there now, not tomorrow. It really made me sick when I would loose a newborn calf, that I could have, and should have saved, but I was in another state working my full time job.
