You look at most occupations...People have mixed emotions toward lawyers, car salesmen, polititions, even doctors. I've yet to here anyone say much bad about the farmers.
The world depends on us. Without food, what would we do? It's basic for life itself.
Also, is it more important for a 60 year old to succeed, or a 30 year old with a house full of children?
I'm 47 years old myself. Still relatively young. I have two grown "children". They have kids of their own. My son is 26. His kids are 7 and 3. They live on the farm now. I want them to have what I had. The chance to grow and learn the ways of nature. To enjoy the outdoors. And to know the advantage of hard work and success.
My wife grew up on a 60 acre tobacco farm in central Kentucky. There were 13 kids. She has never known life to be easy. She runs the combine, drives grain trucks, and runs the tractors, just like me. What else would we do with our time.
Once a person has known farm life, nothing else is ever quite as satisfying.
Go for it! Keep things in prospective. Don't try to be the biggest land-owner in the county. Just get what it takes to be happy. There is THE key word. HAPPY....Good luck, and welome back! John
