I agree 100%. None of my friends are making $25 an hour either, thats why I said things are all different than they were when Jack started out. No matter how hard you work, starting from scratch in ag today is almost impossible without putting a great deal at risk. I'm 32 and find it hard to believe in ten years I'll have more ground than I currently do, 22 acres, tillable but in pasture.

I have a wife and three small kids, I'm not willing to take food out of their mouth so I can be a big farmer for a year only to lose it all when corn drops to $4 bu. Nate
