Hay Farmers getting out of farming

[Steppenwolfe]

Problem is, farming ain't about sitting on your butt on a tractor all day.
So much more to it than that.

Oh, sorry. I thought we were talking about you... Yes, farming is very hard work.

So why are you participating so much in a hay farming, not ranching, thread?
I mean 1 or 2 posts makes sense, or the irrigation comments are fine, but mocking and making farming sound like it was only for HS drop outs and a dozen other associated derogatory remarks?

Driving a truck 12 hours probably borders on illegal and would be an exhausting day.
Ive done it before. You haven’t
See how that works?

I do have about 15,000 acres of hay meadows...I do know more than most about it and enough to know it takes a special kind to do it.

The inevitable bragging….
Usually only takes 2-3 posts. Surprised he went 8-10 without letting us know how amazing he is.

And you call me a ”bragger”….. hypocrisy on steroids

I'm sorry my relatable experience bothers you so much...

Also, you did ask why I was in a hay thread...

Hopefully y'all have trusts that will (at least now) limit the tax liability. Who knows what going to happen this year though.

Yes, we have trusts and know the tax liabilities. but as you say (at least now)

Truth^

Been working as a hobby/weekend farmer for seven years now, every day I learn about something I need to be doing but haven’t been.

I know... put 30 lines of what you own in your signature line; that'll show him.
