What I was talking about didn't have a darned thing to do with fund money, or anything else going on in Chicago. I meant things like sell freezer beefs. Sell produce at a roadside stand or farmer's market. Get fertilizer at the terminal and spread it yourself. Do your own soil sampling. Do your own backhoe work, or engine overhauls, or welding, or a hundred other things. Truth be told, holding the steering wheel doing tillage in a pretty new tractor is fun, but it's pretty much a minimum wage skill set.

Do most of this Clay! Be surprised how much goes on here. We roadside an acre of sweetcorn. Spent Friday afternoon in the mini excavator on a house job for somebody. We sell machinery, seed, and all kinds of things in between. Make hyd. hoses. Have two guys working right now. Had three a couple weeks ago. Just got a dump trailer. Can only do so much. Spreading fert. is down the road. Takes a good investment to get there. The bad is you have to spread twice without a blender. It's a very low return investment right now with the acres I farm. You can't own every piece.
