redtom, I hope the youngsters that read your post take it to heart.I graduated from college in 1985 and returned to the farm (ND)for a day. My cousins and brothers "loved farming". Looking at the farm, the economey and all the cousins and brothers I knew my future was someplace else. I flipped a coin and drove west. When my construction dreams failed to worked out I became a sheriff deputy. After 13 years of that I became a firefighter 11 years ago. I also fixed and flipped a few houses and I made what I thought was real good money. I will retire next year at 52. The farm of course, was doomed, far to many people on it and far to many competing interests. It was painfull watching my brother and cousins starting over with basically nothing at 39 to 45 years old, they all learned to hate farming, and each other for that matter. My wife and I were able to write a check for the farm when it came for sale. I don't no, guess love is blind. I can say though that I ended up in a place I never thought I belonged, doing something I never thought I would, and I have had a blast. No regrets about it, and I got the farm.
