A little history and the story: I am 45 and work in a factory where I make pretty good money, but I would rather be farming. I am married and have a 12 1/2 yr old son. My wife is an only child and stands to inherit a real nice 150 acre farm, her dad is 84 and not getting around as good as he used to. Last year he made us partners in the farm, it is mostly tillable land and pretty flat. The machinery is older but all well maintained and in pretty good shape and all paid for. There are no debts owed on the farm or machinery. We have 15 head of beef cattle and 80 sheep, the sheep are a money pit and not profitable but have to stay as long as he is still around. ( he likes his sheep and has always raised them) This brings me to my problem, my job keeps me away about 60 hours a week and that makes it very hard to keep up with the farm chores, field work and farm maintenance. I would like to quit my job and stay home but can't afford to do that yet without some supplemental income. I am trained to be an agricultural and industrial mechanic and would like to start a shop at the farm but do not have the capital to build a bulding and buy equipment needed to do so. I hear about grants and such to start a business and help with farm related endeavors but do know how or where to go to aquire such money. I thought I would tap the infinite fountain of wisdom found on this board, does anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish my goals? Thanks Willy

Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
