My sympathy for your problems. I grew up on a farm, and my brother farmed corn and soybeans until he finally decided that the family acreage just wasn't big enough to make it on. He couldn't tie up enough long-term leases to add acreage that way.

No farmer ever needs the "thrill" of casino gambling, because he gambles all year, every year (which is why I'm a chemist---couldn't take the stress).

Thank you for your words. We’re thankful that we’ll be able to farm another year. There are many who will not be able to say the same.
