[QUOTE="mml373, post: 1764516, member: 38746"] I tell ya what, greybeard, I retired from the military in 2020...fully disabled. Waking up on the small farm here and doing farm chores takes some discipline but that's never been a problem, given my background. Every day on the farm is a holiday, compared to working in a cubicle and dealing with the crud I had to put up with in the military. So I guess we count our blessings. I wouldn't have it any other way given my physical challenges, now, and am thankful I am finally able to experience a taste of the life I'd wanted for so many years and still have the physical ability to do it. My only complaint is farming skipped a generation (parents moved off the farm as soon as they were old enough) so I have zero knowledge or experience, and I also can't afford more land. Trying to figure out how to make money on 35 acres. Meager income that doesn't cover inputs, so far, but that is actually changing and I expect to be making some money from sheep by next year. Growing the operation to replace employment income will require years of learning. [/QUOTE]
