I've never talked to a farmer that wasn't struggling.
They all live high on the hog tho. Lol
last pass. Even had to cut the food plots this year to pay bills. Anybody know where my poles are? Time to remember how to rig one up. See y'all soon!
Man I'm with you! We have a farm and EVERYTIME I got interested in taking it over after high school my grand father would throw a huge fit yelling that a farmer can not make it in this world! Hahahaha he has farmed his whole life, paid for the ground and ALL of his equipment, has a nice house and belongings and pretty much anything he wants. So I was discouraged from farming and went into nursing. But I keep scratching my head wondering what he meant about not being able to make it hahaha. I feel for ya tho super glue on your bad year. Definitely adds to the stress level.
The farmers up here always have a bad year,so they say.but keep doing it. Kinda like a politician

Been farming in MS since 1806 in China grove. Almost made a profit once in the early 1900's great granddaddy said. Got really , really close to getting out of debt back then. Who knows, maybe this will be the century to make a dollar or two!!
My uncle in Michigan has apple orchards. Remember him as a kid crying the blues all summer about a late freeze killing his blossums and not having a harvest. But went all year without spraying or paying pruners and pickers. Laughed all the way to the bank when the subsidy checks came. I aint saying farming is simple and my hats off to all farmers. But the bs sessions get old.
