In Reply to: Raised on a farm? posted by JD2ACWD on January 06, 2010 at 17:17:37:
I live on the farm where I was raised, and we have 4 others. One farm has been in the family since the 1850's, and this one since right after the Civil War. Most of the cropland has been rented out since my grandfather got disabled in the 70's. We had a nursery and raised several thousand bobwhite quail a year when I was growing up and my grandparents on the other side raised tobacco and we helped with that. My brother and I tend part of the farmland and have converted an old pecan orchard into pasture. He has recently moved home from a job 100 miles away so we are looking to expand our operation. We finish out cattle and raise hogs and direct market the meat. I also raise a couple of thousand layer pullets for sale each year and I have some broilers that I'll have processed in a few weeks. If they sell well, I will raise more and move them around on pasture with the cattle and hogs. We are in a sparsely populated area, but Raleigh, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Camp Lejeune, and Myrtle Beach are all within a reasonable driving distance.
