[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1334591, member: 9096"] Legally, nothing on this farm is 'mine', I'm closing in on 40, been here since I was 12.. Worked on the land with my parents since the day we bought it, scratching a living any way we could.. found out education is expensive any way you get it... What paid the mortgage was vegetables, and the markets took a dive right around the time we paid off, but it also coincided with my parents entering retirement. I spent my 20's doing a few dead end jobs, I lived off the farm for 10 years.. My last job was good, gainful, and interesting, but I gave all that up and came back here... It's one of those things, I tear my hair out here some days but I can't imagine not having cattle in my life. Everything we have here is paid for by hard work one way or another, there's nothing new here, though a few things are shiny again from restorations... I'd rather own a rust heap outright than a new truck or tractor and owe my left nut. With any luck, I will be able to continue living a modest life here.. As long as I can get 3 flakes a day for myself I don't need much more. [/QUOTE]
