[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1428112, member: 14661"] We picked up and moved. Best decision I've ever made. I was running a farm, a ranch, and an AI service in CA. It was very profitable but the regulations were killing me and there was not enough there for me to quit breeding cows fr another two years. The drought hit, which made farming and ranching a nightmare, at about the same time my main customer on the AI deal decided he didn't want to run a dairy anymore and handed it to a son in law whose only qualification for being able to drive through the front gate was his ability to continue to convince the dairyman's daughter that he had been working late instead of dragging in from a two day drunk. We moved to Oklahoma and were able to buy a much nicer home and I left all the unpleasant parts behind. Now I just run cows and play with bees. It feels like part time but it's a little more than full time and all of a sudden I can go to town and interact with people with a smile on my face and the regulations are so common sense that for the most part they're unnoticed. I do miss having seven generations of family within an hour of me but most of them have come to see us here and I can be there in a day's drive. [/QUOTE]
