[QUOTE="L P, post: 8974056, member: 2319"] No, not going to give up, In a seperate thread I pointed out the lack on incentive to farm and the desire to do something different. Currently have a very diverse role, most of it costs money though which is no great incentive, building the house has been an odd experience, saving a large fortune doing it myself but spending a small fortune regardless, pride vs expense concern hasn't made it enjoyable.... bit like farming really. Tenants are a PITA but good non farming income. What to do... not much certainty in farming... SFI isn't farming, doesn't offer returns equal to farming either but might allow time for a more profitable sideline... but I doubt it will free up enough time. 300 acres next door could be up for grabs, maybe up the farming acreage rather than reduce it? Quite a sorry state is agriculture, locally, very locally I know two farmers of my generation that will almost certainly keep going, and 20,000 arable acres on a number of farms that has likelihood of being let out, re tenanted or sold. Perhaps its time to jump ship or expand at every opportunity possible. Time to be the lion, rather than be eaten by one methinks.... [/QUOTE]
