[QUOTE="GMN, post: 419679, member: 2382"] You are lucky that you and your husband can both work and make it on the farm, I know our Dairy would have been done within the first year, if my husband did not work out, and make good money to make up for the low lows on the milk checks, and when milk is high(like now) it just gets us more ahead on the bills, and more put away, for the next low low. Have you ever thought how much more ahead you and your husband could be, if one of you worked out just part time. It is alot of work for just one person, I know sometimes I feel overwhelmed here doing all the chores myself, but instead of 8 years, you might be able to reduce it down even more. Around here, there are the richer neighbors that when land does come up for sale, they snatch it up, because they can afford to pay $2300 plus an acre, good for the person selling, but it kind of limits the small time farmers, like ourselves from obtaining more land. I guess in a way it is good though, because they are buying the land to farm on, and prevent developers from building the subdivisions, so I can't complain too much. I'd say this area where we live will be a small farming community for many years to come, it is nice. Gail [/QUOTE]
