That’s what it’s becoming. Toss up now between spending the next 6 weeks in the bowels of my combine harvester spending time and money on spares or just picking up the phone to cousin and getting him combine it in the summer with his mega machine. Leaning towards telephone farming and doing other things then at least when crops shrivel you haven’t invested your own time in them, just money. And money is worth a lot less than time.I'm inclined to think that the best way to think about a small farm, and by that I'm talking sub 300ac arable, is simply as a store of value and a nice place to live. I'm pushed to call what I do a job when I spend perhaps no more than 30 days a year actually working. I'm hoping my children will simply keep it as a "home base" while working abroad to make some real money.
