[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 616813, member: 9096"] I'm not half as old as half of you I'm sure, (I'm 30), but I still find time flies... 20 years ago we were oogling buying our place, we were in about a year of negotiations with the previous owner, 18 years ago we got our first cows which was quite a disaster, we had a '72 dodge mail van as a farm vehicle, we had a 2000 gal. water tank with a line buried about 1ft underground to feed water to the house, which without fail froze in the winter, 15 years ago I was at a boarding academy, started doing all the haying around our place, we also started our vegetable operation for the most part done by just my parents and I, with maybe some hired help for harvest, we were able to pull in about 120,000 lbs of veggies in 2 months, and I think my back is still feeling that. 12 years ago started university for vet med, to find out I didn't have the patience for 8 years of book learning. i'm now 3 weeks away from leaving the best off-farm job I've ever had to go back Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals. [/QUOTE]
