[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1815603, member: 32879"] As much as I hate to say it, it looks like the day of the small to moderate sized producer competing in the commodity markets is about over. We either go big or we become the equivalent of the backyard chicken producer. With SS and a pension, my cattle produce a nice chunk of change but there is no way to live off it. My son-in-laws have no interest in farming and I do not try and encourage them. I think they have plans for the farm after I am gone that will be quite different. With a wood stove, a big garden and beef in the freezer we have a comfortable life on the farm, one much more pleasant than their hectic life on the road with a cell phone constantly in their hand. I think I know how the Indians felt in the 19th century. [/QUOTE]
