been milling around the idea of having some sort of life where I am neither sitting behind a desk, nor being shot at.
tossing the idea around of being a farmer. yesterday (Easter) I visited my family in childress and you know my uncle who's been farming 45 years seems pretty content and happy with his life. thoughts on farming? edit: the boards are dead as fuck |

Maybe I am mistaken. Need to check the prices... -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

this years cotton crop was good, yes, mainly because there was no rain for what, 4-5 months?
i dunno about banking pretty good, but at least it got my car fixed and bills paid

thanks for the input. I know about the exotics...my uncle has some ostriches and the eggs bring in good cash. also, out by chilicothe I saw a large herd of camels...fuckin camels? I guess there's a market...
basically here's the situation... my uncle has a shitton of land. been farming it ~40 years. no idea how much really, but I do know he farms cotton mainly, some soy and corn, and leases out 6,000 acres to deer/turkey hunters. he said that last year he made just as much money leasing the hunting land as he did from crops. crazy... regardless, he's like 60 now. his eldest son died when he and I were working at my dad's warehouse and a forklift fell over on him. my younger cousin is a "rocker" and not interested in taking over the farm at all. so it's like wtf do you do with a big ass farm with no one to take it over? then there's me.  I dunno how much childress would get to me though...I mean I kinda grew up there always visitng the grandparents and all that, but I would always return to the LBK or amarillo. I guess I could build a nice ramp, have an empty pool, an mx track and jumps and , and grow some kb to keep me occupied in the free time. skateboarding farmer...I would probably be lynched. |

You could really focus on the hunting aspect of things then. Lease the land but also keep it stocked with cool animals, then you can charge more $$$. You could build some lodges on it and be a guide as well.
