[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 731909, member: 391"] I learned a long time ago that I don't trust my feelings in Jan and Feb. I take one day at a time. I have been farming for a long time and I have thought things were bad before but this spell is a new all time low. Its easier when you are young to be hopeful- but I am running out of energy and time to weather this spell. For young farmers-- when you are figuring out if you can make it farming full time. Keep in mind to triple or quadruple what you are paying for insurance as you age. Its nice to think that things will improve to cover higher costs as you age but I haven't seen it. I have made capital investments to improve cash flow in one area and as soon as I do costs will go higher in another and eat up all the gain. I am sure 9 to 5 has its drawbacks -- but you have time off, it ends and you get to leave it, and you haven't got lots of money invested that can get eat up when things go bad. And you can always find a new job and quit. I too don't envy dairy farmers- I couldn't do it. [/QUOTE]
