[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4095368, member: 5412"] Retired farmer and rancher here. Tried livestock for a few years. Market sucked and lost a ton of money. Farmed wheat on 980 acres forever before retirement and leasing for cash rent 7 or 8 years ago. Worked at the power plant with tons of overtime so sometimes farming took the back stage as the power plant paid much better and the land was paid for. Off time spent restoring old farm implements one could buy for pennies on the dollar to work with. Yeah, it took me days vs hours that some could do with new bigger equipment, but I made money because 1/2 my crop wasn’t going to payments on equipment. After dumping the cattle, vacations were easy to take. Always a dead time between planting and harvest especially for winter wheat. [/QUOTE]
