a few things positive if you have them

[sumdumguy]

Partners, where are you farming? That is farming you are talking about?

I thankful god has deemed me strong enough to deal with the weather ****ing me out of 5 of the last 6 crops with flooding, hail and relentless rain while my "buisness partners" deem it fit to take 3X more than they did over that same time frame. How's that? It's pretty easy to be positive and shake off a bad year when you have a net worth of $12M...oh wait I'm 30 and $1.5M the other way cause I didn't get to build my farm on daddy's equity.

Between Fosston and Rose Valley..Small area that received less rain than most in the province..Farmers all around us are in a muddy mess..with very little done, and crops that are poor..

Cotton and ado

Try being 50 and having that. Punk kids that bought up the neighborhood and farm on weekends while their Mexican Mennonite slaves work during the week.

Get her done Partners. Then you can take that great wife to Vegas.

No matter how you get there, its nice to have a little luck. When we listen to SF3, we know some just don't get a break, but he's going to be ok, its the over-optimistic ones that will suffer in a downturn because their rose-coloured glasses won't allow them to see the writing on the wall.

The pattern always repeats -good prices lead to higher cost inputs and more of them used leads to gluts, leads to lower prices....and on we go.

Called roller coaster markets, been that way for my 40 years. All these supply demand from the world reports seem to always find too much supply to lower prices with. Crap crop cancelled by a bumper from Timbuktu.

ado089, I'm that person you're talking about and not ashamed of it. I wish you nothing but health, happiness and PROSPERITY for all the risk and heartache you are taking. It is an insane way to make a living, very risky.

.... re: daddy's equity that is. Not net worth. Too lazy to get to $12M.

How many people do you know that got a good start and ****ed it up because they couldn't manage shit? Getting it is one thing keeping and/or growing it is another....
