[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1730340, member: 24816"] It's one of those things that logic would say yes, we need to encourage the younger generations to continue, in agriculture, but the reality is the ones of us trying to keep it going are for the most part just existing and not thriving at it. I'm close to 47, and my generation had it hammered into us that it was not possible to make a go of it with cattle or any other kind of agriculture. I was determined to try it anyways, and here I am still trying. A lot of twists and turns along the way. I love the farm/ranch life, it's all I've known. I've always thought of it as necessary profession, shame that not many others see it that way. We have to eat, and should be common sense that we need to supply as much of our own food on as local of a level as possible. The way things are it's not really doable for most young folks unless they are already on a large farm to start out with. Other than that, it looks like to me, about the only folks that are getting into cattle are folks that have some age on them, and other incomes and just want to buy some land and cattle. [/QUOTE]
