> Farming sucks.
Sometimes it sucks. But mostly it's great, at least better than any cubical job I had.
It's been 6 years raising goats, never could think of going back. Love it. Get to spend my time with my two young boys. Get to spend time sweating with my wife with the sun on our backs. Farm stand doing better than I ever imagined. Pays the bills, no mortgage, and since I moved to WV surrounded by farmers I have no need for a tractor. 6 on my street. Could borrow anytime. Amish nearby. They make it work, we make it work. Never had so much food. Quality food too. Lots of standing Oak if I really needed money but so far so good. I'll let the kids harvest the timber after I am gone.
Am I rich? Nah, but everything I need is provided for.
Lots to be thankful for when you get used to farming and you step away from the machine.
