We are selling our farm and moving our herd to PA. At least it appears so. Haven't found a place in PA yet but, we're looking and the people are ready to buy our farm. Happy and sad at the same time

I know I could head to Iowa, Indiana, etc but, what worries me more than the climate learning curves is that you need to establish yourself at a bank and I know of someone who lived just across the county from me that paid cash for a place in Iowa after selling his farm and insurance business here (keep in mind that he wasn't hurting) he couldn't get a bank to give him a line of credit for two years. They flat out told him that they've had seen people come there and then be gone in six months and it just doesn't work out until you've been around the area for a few years. In PA, we do a fair amount of business there now so It won't be as dificult

We say we're going to do it at least one more time before we kick the bucket. We moved the whole farm cows, some equipment, and lots of junk. :lol:

Wife and I spent some time in the Flint Hills this summer. If we ever leave here, Kansas is on the top of my list. Then probably Nebraska if this global warming thing catches on.

If you are worried about global warming you will want to beat the rush by moving to Canada!

South eastern, going today to look at two places one is twice the size of the other but, it is run down, the other has half the acres but, everything is perfect! House buildings all in good shape but, I haven't seen either one in person I'll let you know today.
I am just sick of dealing with the banks here and many other things. I hear some of you say to stay away from the banks! That's not just possible for us, I have another business and it's been succesful and no matter what line of work you're in you need to have a line of credit unless you have awesome cash reserves. Health problems have kept me from having those great cash reserves. I've always made things work out before and I will this time I feel sure.
