In an attempt to keep a long story shorter I'll do my best.Neighbours just lost their farm and home to supressed cattle prices.The father in law farmed there with his father for many years before,and he lost all his land except for barns in the early 90's to potato market problems.He than lost his swine barn to a fire a few years later and kept on with beef.They had between 5 and 800 head year round and cattle were very well looked after.The father in law is/was abit of a creep around children and went to a crow bar hotel for a few years and than the son in law saved his and his wife's home by taking it over himself with his wife.The son in law is very shrewed and hard working but many years of high input costs and low beef prices have forced the bank to foreclose the mortage.They have lost both their homes and everything they had left.I don't feel sorry for the old creep,but his wife,daughter,son in law and grandson have done nothing wrong except tried to make a living farming,and now have lost their home in return.I know this has been going on for years and is happening all over the world every day,but it's sad to see good people (with the exception of one of them) booted out of their family homes because there isn't a living in farming anymore.pd.
