Good luck on this year’s farming. Your post reminded me of that old joke where the farmer wins the $10 million lottery. When asked by the reporter what he is going to do with all of that money, the farmer replies “Oh - I reckon I’ll keep farming for a few more years.”
Luckily, we grow a niche crop and weather permitting should be able to make a profit.
I’m not good with jokes but there is another one. How can you become a millionare by farming? Start with multi-millions.
Seriously, in the early ‘80s a guy who had just inherited 7 million decided to farm in our county, he was broke in 5 years. He came from dryland country and just couldn’t understand the economics of irrigated land.
