Tex I agree with you and will add my rant.
My family has owned the same two farms in Western Maryland since the Civil War--how many generations I'm not sure, but it a few. I bought my own place in '94 and to use the words of one of the posters it was almost "used up". I will say you do not fully understand farming and the decisions and commitments until it's your money and time. I am finally getting the fertility back where it should be and now am learning how to farm sustainablly. If you were to ask me right now if a person can farm for a living my answer would be to ask this question "Do you know any farmer that does not have any off farm income?" I know of none!
Inconsiderate people--there are enough "city slickers" and "farmers" that are inconsiderate to go around. Do I let neighbors on my place--yes as long as no hole show up in the buildings and doughnuts do not appear in the fields. I will say I have slowly been getting respect for the locals as they have watched my struggle to get this farm to produce and control the persistent weed problems, by myself (no help), and respect the the one thing that keeps people from destroying your farm.
Guess I'll quit ranting.
