[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7533654, member: 156006"] Growing up it was always my intention to farm. I was lucky enough to be able to have the chance to farm in my own from my early twenties. Started on a rented farm that the landlord was an aunt. It was almost expected of me to farm and follow countless generations before me. I’d truly love to say that my kids will farm too but in all reality I can’t see it. I have girls. I know it’s not un heard of but here in Canada the un spoken expectation that the kids will follow in the fathers footsteps is all but non existence. Some actively discourage their kids because they see a better life away from the farm. Every situation is different and kids are all different but how many can honestly say the farm is done once they are either retired or pushing up the Daisy’s [/QUOTE]
