Southeast WI | Its always nice to understand where people come from when they're giving advice to others. You took the time to give advice so its relevant to know what your experiences were over the years. If you read my response to Nick you'd see I said the same thing as you did about custom farming - if you need a little help paying off a piece of equipment, custom work can do that short term, which I've done, but long term? There's really zero money to be made in production agriculture doing custom work.
I've been around here for many years and I've shared my story on how I've gotten into farming and im an open book on that. Since I do a lot of replicated cropping trials and we are learning something using defensible, scientific methods on-farm i like to share that and encourage others to do the same. If we are going to learn and have repeatable results this is how you do it. You are not the only one that doesn't understand why its done that way and feel they have to zero in on that component of what I do and make an offhand comment. I get it. Its human nature to attack things you dont comprehend and thats that.
I thank you for sharing how you got started as your advice is relevant to Nick - other than it appears he doesn't have a support system in place like you did. Have a great day. | |
