Been there. I bought my farm 2 years ago from my grandmother's brother. Same thing paid less than local average but it needed a good bit of work after 25 years of renters backing off the creeks every year and working over standing water and not workng on drainage. While it will never be suitable to build on, the only way to get to is a right of way across my grandmother's farm and renters have always been a hassle with gates, I kept bidding knowing that I did not want to start training a new set of hired hands on how to not let cows out. Stessed the first year. After the first two payments, I see that it is not so bad. Save marrying my wonderful wife, buying it has been the best thing I have ever done.
On the flip side One year, three weeks ago a widow lady we go to church with promissed my family that she would not sell the farm across the road from my house with out give'n us a shot at it. My mother was renting an old home place on the farm from the widow lady and live'n on the farm in a moble home. First of the year a deacon in our church bought it. Only good thing I have to say about the deal is he gave my mom 60 days to move her trailer. Now local rumor has it that one of his skanky hired hands is move'n a trailer here just down from my house. Do you have any idea how hard it is to go day to day getting a sick feeling in your gut every time you look across the road? I hope and pray that some day the bitterness will ease and maybe some day I will have something nice to say about those involved with the sale.
Guess what I am trying to say it the stress of buying a farm is no where near as high as the stress of missing out and have'n to put up with people. Don't drink a beer to relax, drink two to celebrate. Neighbors are priceless as long as they keep their distance. Neighors are people you have a relationship with. Pricks up the road are useless!

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
