Yup. I'm still young but the older I get the more I see it declining. There are some family farms around here pooling resources and making a go of it. The depressing part for me is knowing in the next 10 years, I could have 3 uncles selling out and there isn't much I'm going to be able to do about it. Was talking with another uncle this past weekend about startup costs. He figures you need $2mil around here to get the basics for 200 acres. Then, you need to buy seed and the rest.

I know this past winter my parents lost a few cows and had a bad string of bull calves. My dad said "why do I keep doing this?" I said because it beats driving a fork lift at a factory. He'd be 1000% miserable doing an off the farm job; if anyone would hire him.
