[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 1023947, member: 391"] Mostly rising health care/insurance costs. It caused alot of stress between me and my husband. Two people trying to do too much seven days a week and living and working together is just too much. Getting older and slowing down isn't great either. Plus over the years we have damaged our bodies and we are paying for it now(making us even slower :) ). The constant stress and money worries have taken a toll on my nerves(I keep the books). Coming close to loosing the place several times keeps you on guard all the time. Our plan was to work hard and build something to hand down to generations- its beginning to look like we will be using it up to sustain us till we die and the way its going there won't be much left to hand down. We started with nothing and it was really a source of pride that we were making a go of it. Whats the saying-- Pride commeth before the fall. If I had a do over, I would let hubby farm and I would get a job. It was too hard. for the long term payout. You need to find a golden niche or go into farming with something thriving handed to you when you are young. Or one person farms the other has a job. Or you work till you retire and then farm.
