[QUOTE="RushesToo, post: 7565749, member: 1095"] You really need to do a cash flow forecast and be very realistic about your profit margins. There is little money in looking after animals and crops to the end of their life as they are considered commodities. It really needs to be a vocation rather than a way to get rich. Almost everyone on here will tell you that you need to think through the plans you have, setting yourself realistic targets and allowing yourself to have good and bad years before you meet them - not always in this order. If one of you continues working at their day job and the other works at the business you should make it through to a working lifestyle. Farming is like heathcare, it is in the main a vocation rather than a business. You need the same drive, just accept there will be less money. It is down to the individual which of the professions best fits, think long and hard about this - it makes and breaks relationships and lives [/QUOTE]
