[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 608948, member: 4674"] A lot of the love of the land has been lost due to the fact the father wanted the kids to be hired help without pay. The father never let them really enjoy the fruits of the farm or ranch. I know that is the way it was with me. I still like the land and do some ranching. My kids grew up paritialy on the farm. There was never enough money to go around for them to have some of the better things in life. My daughter and her husband are lawyers and like to come out and fish and hunt and ride the 4 wheelers. My son , manages a banking facility and he and his wife and children are so involved in things for the church community and civic organizations that they have no time for the farm. Land is to high and the work is to hard for most of the young people. I wished I had never seen a farm and spent my time in a good career that I left several times to be a dairyman. It took three times for me to relize that dairying was not for me. Now I am running a cow calf operation and will proable sell land and cows the in next few years and leave the money to the kids. If they want rural real esatate then they can buy it. I suppose the selling of the legacy assets is Gods way of passing the land into someones hand that appreciates it. [/QUOTE]
