[QUOTE="grannysoo, post: 437262, member: 6980"] Nope, you're not getting off that easy :D Your "rant" was not offensive and I took no offense from it. You did make everything think and that's always a good thing. This hobby farmer does not loose any money on his cows. I am to the break even point, perhaps even making a few dollars on the cows. I do however, loose my a$$ because of the farmland. I for one am not trying to throw off any economic system. I did however go in debt up to my eyeballs to buy the family farm after my grandmother died. 354 acres that will remain intact as a farm, not sub-divided into lots and filled up with housing developements. Problem is not with people like me saving the farm. It's the developers that think the farms are worth more as housing developements. All of us have to compete with them on purchasing the land. If I was not buying from family, there would have been no way that I could afford it. My goal is to make money on the farm period! Always working towards that, I just must overcome the initial purchase price. Without us hobby farmers and our "off the farm income", there would be many many farms that would not be in existance anymore.... Think about it. [/QUOTE]
