[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1421096, member: 17843"] The farm has been in the family for many years. My grandfather bought it from his relatives in the 1930s and farmed it as his only occupation until his death in 1987. Because we did have a love of the land, we have retained it all these years, but we all have public jobs and are not full-time farmers; therefore, the land has been cowless at times, but we have currently had cows again since 2010. We have gotten to the point that it is going to take some money to update things and keep going; however, since we are only hobby farmers and never plan to do it as a. If operation, we are wondering if it is worth the money. My brother is not more inclined to sell, we have just been doing a lot of thinking out loud and I just thought I would ask for opinions here. It still takes money to keep it up if it just sits there with no cows, and leasing can sometimes be a headache. It's bad enough sometimes just telling someone they can cut up a downed tree for firewood without some kind of drama before it's over. Everyone has different financial personalities as well. There are savers, spenders, borrowers, you name it. I guess we aren't real big on having debt. [/QUOTE]
