[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 115199, member: 1101"] Well Karen, glad to hear you did well on your report. allow me to throw in my 2 cents..even tho the bull is long out of the barn so to speak. ( report over and done with) 1. My income comes from my wife.........I spend it here on the farm......she is about $224,000 gross before taxes, (which takes over a third of her income) malpratice INSURANCE (which takes almost another third)(she has never been sued or even threatened), I dare not tell her how far in the hole we truly are with the farm business. Actually net farm income is in the negative.... ie: RED ink.....we kinda want to keep it that way for a while longer intentionally . 2. Education, as many alluded too, hard knocks and experience is usually the best when it comes to this business........I grew up on a Dairy farm, and was forced into college, (practical engineering) of which I do NOT make a living from, never did, nor ever will.....hate it, I wanted to go to Agricultural college, but dad would not hear of it. 3. Dad made all of us boys get a secondary education..........like it or not. I just wanted to farm, and marry money, knowing it would take alot of green paper to get a real farm going on our own.......even my high school year book has that written on my bio...and this is what I did. I am not proud of it, but I am also not ashamed. 4. The education I got formally cost on average $6,200 per year back then..........my REAL education, was much costlier, but today is priceless. I had a real job, with real income for many years, but gave it up to be bossed by only two others, God, and my wife, that was versus , the ten's of bosses , that had bosses, that had bosses to be my bosses.During the last few years while working for others, it seemed every person I met was another boss. 5.We have 4 farms, 3 small ones and a larger main farm, located in the western portion of North Carolina. They all cost us more money then we make off of them. But we are closing the gap, with the help of crop, and product diversity. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
