[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1742216, member: 25884"] I would not try to convince anyone to get into farming... I want to know if they WANT to.... If being your own boss with the aggravations and heartaches can be accepted with the sunrise on a newly plowed field, if the sight of a new calf that is trying to figure out how to get up and to the teat that is programmed into it's dna that it needs to do... if in the evening you can look at a field of mown hay knowing that tomorrow there will be some long hard hours but that hay will enable you to feed your cattle or be sold for the money to make the land payment... If you cannot find some happiness in the beauty of the land and want to live for simple pleasures, then you will not be convinced and I wouldn't bother to try. Not every day is hard toil, not every day is before dark to after dark.... but it has to come from inside you for you to take it on.... ESPECIALLY if it is not a family farm that you are going to come into in some manner.... There is that thing about a "fire in your belly".... those are the ones that will make it work one way or another... [/QUOTE]
