I would be careful with the retiring too early. It will be much easier to get another job now, at 39, than finding out you need one in ten years. If your plan is to turn the farm into income producing that would count. There is also a mental aspect to it, your brain is used to spending time on the job, and it's time will need to be spent elsewhere, if that makes sense.Morning all,
Sorry to hear about the flooding. The river here appears to have crested last night with only minor flooding. Still early enough farmers that had planted fields can get a 2nd crop planted if need be. Have more rain on the way so we will see how it goes.

Looks like I might have missed the mark on this round but next time you have to bend conduit try filling it with sand. Saw that mentioned on here back awhile ago and it works pretty good to keep it from kinking.
In other news I'm trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up.
In all actuallity I'm trying to see if retiring at 39 is a realistic possibility. It seems as though majority of military that retire pursue some form of second job but I think with a slightly modified lifestyle we could make it work.
Wait who am I kidding I would still be working it would just be my farm, and my land.
On the topic of rotational grazing. Anybody familiar with Joel Salatin and his process. Spent some time this weekend watching youtube videos of his farm and methods along with Justin Rhodes and his farm tour. I think that lifestyle is well within my reach but haven't convinced the wife of it yet.
Lovely photos, the goslings look nice, what kind?Hi everyone! Just duping in to share some pics

Sunshine and Lollipop, being to go outside to play. They're getting so big already!
Ana won the battle for the fluffy duck nest lol
Good luck!

Tractor Supply had ducklings marked down to 75 cents the other day, I was strong and came home with none.
I've wondered about that myself, it would be very helpful.
Very nice, but the thing I first notice is the road being flat and straight.@Fire Ant Farm I know you are a busy, busy lady, but if you ever feel like spending time with a "family" for a holiday - I would love to invite you down. If you can handle a messy, kid-lived-in house.
If you go through Uvalde, taking i90 to us, this is the drive you get. It's quite pretty.
Yes, I'm not pleased with the forecast either.There I was, checking the forecast. Totally not expecting to see that the highs will be in the forties and fifties the next two weeks!
