Trying to and same to you. Got a full trailer full of junk loaded up ready to be taken out of here. Being in the in between of moving is interesting. Still probably a few months till being able to get to move into the new place yet still constantly having stuff to do to get ready.

I know, I sold my house of 25 years last summer to downsize
It’s a job alright

My grandparents home was like 45 to 50 years of stuff 3 stories, a cellar, drapery shop, 2 car garage, and a decent sized work garage along with some stuff on part of the 20 acres. Lots of crap to clean up

Dad and I knew an old guy bought an old farm we were on at times due to a relationship of Dads...
Third generation were buttheads who defaulted on it. From thier adolescence they had a bad attitude.. Messed with Dad's hunting. Told anyone not in the immediate family they were not family ect. Folks that could have saved the farm at one time.
Always thought of what I'd tell them when seeing them again.
One showed up at Dad's funeral and about the first thing he said was they were $@# holes back then.
I just said they were young. (Not the time and place to get riled at.)

Those farms I worked in my youth might be gone.
And buying one today is a lot of work and money to not get paid unless you produce just right.

Corporate farms step on a lot of ground. And farm far different. With money the goal. My opinion is the product can certainly vary in quality and how it's raised.
Today I can't hardly stand commercial pork. And know that my last hogs at 35 cents a pound matched market price. But were superior way back then already.
Today commercial pork tastes "green". And doesn't even digest well.
Either the fat is garbage due to diet , or a sow in heat gets mixed in and taints the rest. So it's the diet. And likely partly the breed.

But to bet hundreds of thousands in investments on rain?
No thanks. I can't gamble that.
Much as I prefer scratching in the dirt to plastic dirt that earned me money.
A couple hundred acres =$$$.
A couple decent tractors? $$$.
Barn? $$
Silo$$$
And we're just getting started.
Maybe we'll get a check late fall. Maybe not.
Meanwhile....

Another good one RC! The imagery gets to me more so than the music. The land around here and North East of me is still family owned and farmed,row crops and rice.Not much stock raised except for cattle. East of me a lot of chicken farms,Tyson affiliated but owned and operated by mostly families. North there,s a lot of land been bought up by A-rabs of all people! They don,t farm it personally,absentee landowners.The original owners still do the work under some kind of contract deal.Not sure how that works. I know and grew up with a lot of the boys around here so still get to go about where I want as far as the land is concerned.Glad of that as I,m a boy likes to put some ground under my feet at times.

That was the shard piece that you found?

Yes. What’s the odds that there’s another one of those , unbroken, buried under bricks, dirt and other debris? Dang it!

I didn’t know how good pork was until we had those butchered a couple years ago. I can’t hardly stomach the crap from the store.

The absolute best pork you can get is a 100 pound or so wild shoat that,s been feeding on acorns and pecans in the fall and early winter.Scrumpdillyumptous!

Yes! We bow hunt wild boar up the Sixes river as I have claims on the Sixes river. Feral hogs can be hunted year round with any weapon. AR, Shotgun, .44 Mag...
