Farming?

I used to farm untill 6 years ago when I rented it out, still live on the farm just outside of Saskatoon. Lots of room for shops and garages full of Fords plus parts trucks.

My brotherinlaw still farms,hes abouy 4 miles from my place.Been farming all his life.
I think we'll have lots off runoff this year,should fill all the dugouts and potholes in the country,which is good for waterfowl and wildlife.Hes been a gm man all his life too.
He has a 98 6.5 diesel which is giving him headaches right now, The lift pump or something .

I have 25 acres. Not quite a farm, but I'll take what I can get. Also, if you count Bees, then yes, I have livestock.

Born and raised on a farm. I took over my Dad's farm 6 years ago, although I farmed with him for twenty years before that. I am just cropping 560 acres right now.

I would want to farm, but I already spend too much money.

I don't farm, but as a kid loved working around my grandparents farm. Even today still love driving tractors and some of the work. A lot of it is easier than when I was a kid. Back then you shoveled grain into the augers and the corner of the trucks, The tracxtors are heated or a/c now with stereos. Back then open fresh air and sunbaked.
Maybe do it as a fun hobby, but not to live off these days. I'm at midlife and no cash to start up a farm. Often just thought of getting land to grow alfalfa or feed grass and sell the hay bales as a hobby to keep me busy. Nuts right???

Nuts, no. I still put up hay on about a 100 acres, a nice peaceful change from my line of work.
