[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1796779, member: 43107"] May be a little late on this thread, but have you considered just growing hay for a year or two? It would allow you to stay closer to home to take care of the missus. A little herbicide and maybe some chicken litter might get you a good start. Of course, I don't know what kind of shape your fields are in or what equipment you have available. But growing good grass for hay can net you a little cash and be relatively worry-free (grass doesn't break fences or need to be "fed" as often). Obviously, the weather will be a big determining factor in how much you can produce. You can have your soils tested relatively cheap to see what nutrients you have and what you may be deficient in. And your neighbor will have to find someplace else for his cows to eat. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
