Delta | Looking for any and all advice. I am 25 and married with two children, dad is 56, farm about 2000 acres of grain. We have two hired hands, with one being part time. My dad and I are pretty much opposites, but have a good personal relationship. How can we continue to work together effectively and not tarnish the relationship? Right now I am an employee of the farm but would be partner next year. I am the third generation.
My dad has a lot of experience having farmed his whole life, but we differ vastly in decision making process. Probably due to age, experience, and personality differences.
Have a few off farm opportunities and trying to decide what to do. I love farming and have grown up doing it.
How do others share responsibility? I want to learn from my dad but at the same time, if I am a partner and share in the debt burden, I want to feel a real 50% ownership and authority. Are these realistic expectations?
Thanks to all | |
