There seems to be only one way to farm these days, spend 20 to 30 years making money in something else, sell out then use all the money to start farming or marry money as did the new guy who is trying to rent ground out from under us left and right. Then a second guy who is trying to rent ground from under us had a small chain of grocery stores and invested wisely in stock market when it was still quite profitable. Both guys have a new this and a new that, but from what I have seen this year they aren't even going to come close to breaking even. Am tired of hearing the talk in town about one or the other just bought a new this or that and why don't we have one. Is all right though, these two guys aren't the first ones to try to steal ground out from under us, and they will be going the way of the first 3 or 4 guys who tried the same. One day will be going to their auctions when they finally either give up or spend all the money they made before they started farming. Just remember the age old story of the tortoise and the hare. Really ain't so much how fast you go, just be realistic and don't give up. If yah listen to the expertsIJIJIJ, prices off anything goes in cycles that seem to work opposite off each other, crop price down, input price up, is supposed to go the other way eventually though. Anyways am done venting for now, going to go and mow the last of hay so it can rain somemore.
