My father started farming the family farm in the early 50's for 40 years, he never made a loss, droughts and pestilence were never an issue when costs are less than 30% of your gross income. Today with costs %80 of my gross income I slip over the edge often and never quite make it up in a good year.
Life is full of ups and downs. I sold my factory for full asking price (retirement plan) and 30 days later I had emergency triple bypass surgery. Then this past July I had my first heart attack. Got 4 Harley's in my garage and all I want to do is be able to ride one. Need to be at 95%+ to be able to safely ride. Also have 2 herniated discs in my lower spine. Grrrrrr. Still above ground so life is good.
That stinks bud. I hope you’ll soon be able to do what you love to do. 💪🏼 in the mean time… try something different. Maybe try a cruise. I’ve always wanted to try that. Or maybe go on a RV road trip. That would be cool. Could always find a driver if you’re not able to drive yourself. Heck I’ll drive ya! Lol. Could get a new off road vehicle like a Sherp and have some exploration trips. Idk bud there are a lot of things you can still do. Wishing the best for you.
i went thru a drought in 88 so bad we were cutting marsh hay to feed cattle. then in 2012 it was so bad my crop insurance adjustor decided i better get combining NOTHING cause there WILL be some thing?? ha ha. i told him im ready to go he came at 9 am in a hour on 3 different fields he said NEVER mind it doesnt pay? i said OH NO you DIDNT believe what i said so you WILL stay till im done at 4pm. well i kept him in the combine had food and drinks for him and i shut down at 6pm and a combine 166 bushel hopper it NEVER got a quarter full. ha ha
Wes have you tried just taking one or two seeds let your Son grow them in a flower pot to teach about growth of a plant stages, then take nippers to cut what ever is in season to harvest but to teach about rain 🌧️ by watering the plant then use a second pot normal soil lack of rain but use a spray bottle mist the soil as tenths of rain. So it grows slower if at all. ??
Probably like around here all anyone hunts are bucks.Anyone wants to hunt my land they have to shoot a doe,even if they let it lay,then they can hunt their buck.
It's going to be great when he puts tariffs on every, that'll teach those chinese and they definitely won't retaliate with tarriffs of there own and inflation definitely won't rise with a trade war , its looking great 👌
Loved every second vid! You nailed it!

I can't believe how awesome this is!

Was so hoping you would have a good harvest this year.
Thanks Wes, Theresa.
Sad that this couldn't have been a better year for you.

Too much lime. 3-4 Tonn per acre. ???? Seems excessive to me but I never saw the soil test results
the best deterrent cost between $40 and $60 a box

I guess thats why they call it farming and not harvesting.
