Party any ways, it always feels great to be done wether it`s seeding, haying, spraying or combining.

We farm 2500 acres and have 120 cows. We used to plant close to 5000 acres but realized that millionaire status wasnt achievable by doing this!

Or maybe a realization the the millionaire status doesn`t happen in farming any more?
The margins are way to slim (if there is any), so low it`s ridiculous. Every time grain and oil seed elevator prices inch up the imput costs increase by a larger margin eating it all up.

Get the farming out of the way quicker and go on to make some money on whatever sideline a person is involved in!
