You guys that have retired from farming,I know it was cumulative over the years,but I'm guessing that there was a "last straw" that finally made you quit. What was it?
Had one neighbor that finally quit over a hay rake. Said that if he had to farm with junk like that,he was all done. Another guy just to the west stopped about 6 weeks ago and said that he was looking the chopper over to start filling silo and decided it wasn't going to make it through the season,so the cows were going down the road and they had found somebody to work the ground next year and were having an auction in the spring. This kind of crap is piling up on my back right now,on top of looking at picking corn in the snow and cold. Don't know how much longer I'm gonna tolerate it all before I hang it up and call an auctioneer myself. I'm waiting on parts for the silage cart,loader tractor hung up between 2 gears in the rain out in the bunker silo this morning,had a tube sticking out of a rear tire Friday that I had to fix,hydraulic pump needs to be replaced on the 2-135,manure spreader and grinder mixer have seen better days,even the buildings have seen too many years of cattle and manure. A nice view of the mountains off the front porch sure would be a nice change of pace and a whole lot easier on the nerves.
