I can be tough when it's the other way around too. I'd always kind of farmed for my boys whether I knew it or not. When they both decided not to farm,it took the wind right out of my sails. If they hadn't gotten jobs right around here and had left the area,I would have sold out and we'd have left here. Now that the milk cows are gone,they don't mind feeding the beef cattle now and then for me so the wife and I can get away a little bit. I bought my Dad out,and to be honest,I was torn between farming and truck driving. I hauled milk for 2 years while I farmed. When I quit that,I'd watch trucks go by on the road while I was stuck in the field and wondered how many of them would at least have a day off sometime soon.
You don't belong to a church where you might have a connection to older farmers who might want to retire? I know of a few instances where that has worked out.
