I haven't made it financially quite yet, but am close. But my thoughts of farming are similar to yours, except having worked on dairy farms as a kid, hated milking. I always remember in 77 during the blizzard (I grew up in the snow belts of Buffalo) I had to milk a herd of about 120 cows for 10 days because the owner and the hired hand couldn't get in. Another kid (I was 16) and I would just finish milking, and unfreezing pipes when we'd have to trn right around and do it again. Cured me on that dairy thing.

But I still really love tractors and stuff....started in the hay business. It'sprofitable if you sell to horse people (they are all nuts), and you get a fair amount of seat time. I got a few Herefords (as my wife says, expensive yard ornaments) to say I'm a farmer, and someday, I may get more. But I don't kid myself about ever making a profit on beef, just hay. I'll probably always look at farming as a good hobby.

I also think 61 is young these days. By the way, I co-own this company.
