The farmers that I know that are able to vacation or get away almost always have family nearby that farms with them. On top of a hired hand or two. Majority of farmers I personally know rarely vacation.. but it’s not necessarily because they can’t afford it or because they can’t find help to cover for them. It’s just simply not their thing… instead of dumping $7k into a week long trip at a crowded tourist destination they’d rather put that money back into the farm, towards more land, or a lake house, etc. Again, it’s really all just planning and  personal preference/lifestyle. I applaud your desire to get out of the city own some land and be more self-sufficient. I wish more young guys had similar aspirations! Although be aware that the situation you described will be very hard to attain. Kind of a unicorn.</blockquote>
