Scranton | I did it....depending. My dad farmed and as he got sick, I helped with LONG hours while working a busy full time traveling job.
After he passed I went to his landlords and asked to rent the 350 acre he was renting. Also rented what was now mom's 160....all for the going rent, no discounts. Bought dad's wore out line of machinery....again for the fair market value, no discounts. Then started farming in 96....as corn slid down to $1.33 at times.
My only benefit was a chance to rent their ground....which is more than some ever get. | |
