[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4095230, member: 44288"] I grew up on a farm and occasionally we took a vacation. Our neighbors were also relatives so it was pretty easy. What was disheartening to me in my young inexperienced years was our neighbor farmer had just as much land across the road from us, yet went on two week vacations every year. I would start my 160 acres tilling right after harvest and would be on that ground for a week. They would pull into their field with two John Deere 4X4 tractors with 10 bottom plows and plow their field in a week, go on a two week vacation, come back from vacation and I would still be going roundy round with my 190 XT and 20 foot Cook offset disk. Like I said, damn disheartening. I did learn a lesson though. Our equipment was paid for and theirs was new to a few years old and he eventually went under while we maintained. [/QUOTE]
