[QUOTE="J&T Farm, post: 420441, member: 2314"] I got so mad when I was in high school at a teacher, I really liked her but she was very negitive about me saying that I wanted to farm. I was raised on a small farm a few cows my parents built a chicken house, and we had horses. I always said I was going to farm. Well this teacher discourged me in every way.. Said there was no money in it, bad idea, that I need to go to college, and become something that had a future. Well I have nothing against college I have pushed my sisters to go. I just said college wasn't for me. I have never regreted my decision. Its not all about money. I feel good about what I do and even though we don't keep alot of money on hand we make it. And have alot of land, which in my opinion is the best investment you can make. We didn't buy new trucks, and toys. We bought land. And all my friends that have the town jobs and drive a new vehicle every year, yeah they make good money but a house and 1/2 acre in a subdivision somewhere was not for me. And now they say how do you afford the land we can't buy any it to expensive. Well when we bought our farm we bought a job and as long as we can scratch out a living and pay for the land I am happy. They will make lots more vehicles but not anymore land. [/QUOTE]
