[QUOTE="Nearly, post: 6791591, member: 149"] This was a full time dairy farm when I left school, employing Dad, me and 2 others. I loved the work and the return. Its now a part time arable and suckler cow farm as I leave my 50th year. This seems about the right pace for me now. It seems destined to become an eco garden with holiday cottages and micro-business units as I decline into my dotage. The next generation can't make actually farming stack up in comparison to our other stuff and I've encouraged them to get a career and treat the farm as a bonus to their life, whether as a home with neighbours 2 fields away rather than 2m, or as an asset to borrow against to help finance other projects. I've been lucky to do what I've done and hope to be here to 'haunt' this patch for a while to come. [/QUOTE]
