Hi Guys, A few years ago, I was forced to leave farming. I have missed the life, with every nerve fiber and every breath of my being, for every second of every single day since then. After all these years, I still wake up in the middle of the night smelling hay and hearing those cattle. To this day, I can smell the air and tell when it is time to stick the bean cutter in the ground. It is really amazing that one does not know what he has until it is all gone. It has been a long hard pull, but now I am all caught up with the world, I am financially healthy again and have a few bucks stashed away. I'll be 60 in four months and instead of just sitting around waiting to die, my wife and I are seriously thinking of jumping right back in there for another go at it. This isn't about money; it is about a lifestyle. We wanna farm again and we think that now we have the means to be able to afford to do it without having to "gamble it all" every year. Is this about the dumbest thing you've ever heard of? Allan
