My dad lost the dairy farm and all equipment in the tough times of the 1980's. Didn't make the dairy herd buy out. He never tried to start farming again. I am now in my early 30's trying to start farming with antiques. It has forced me to be a self taught mechanic. Since we lost the farm, when I was a kid, all I have ever wanted was to farm. I now teach and do that job because it pays the bills. I farm a little on the side. My dream is to farm full time, but how. My wife and I scratched up up the money and the guts to buy an old run down farm. We love it here, but it is not enough land. We are strapped for money and have no parents that can help financially. I know my dad would love to see me farm full time, but can't/won't help financially. I don't expect my parents to. I was born to work hard and want to make my dad, grandfathers and great grand fathers proud. Land renters want to see new monster machines running their land or they are worried they won't get payed even though I pay in all cash. We send out flyers and make personal contacts, but we only have a tiny bit of land. I really get down sometimes because I have absolety no family help or connections. I am a good farmer, but worry for my 2 young boys if I will ever be able to get it done for them. They love my old equiptment and love to be a part of the farm. I do believe in miracles, but they usually happen to others. I have spent the last 10 years trying to figure out this exact questions. It is nice to hear the older generation cares about getting the younger generation started from scratch.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
