West Central Indiana | I was working nights 11-7 in a factory for 20+ years and trying to farm when I was younger. Come home from working all night and sleeping maybe 2-3hrs, then working in the fields all day was tough. Usually a few days of that cycle and your butt was dragging. Anyway, here’s my advice below:
Don’t be afraid to take on farms that aren’t as desirable to others. Im meaning patches or so called tougher soils like sandy/gavely farms. Some guys give farms like that up because they don’t have the mindset to farm it a little different. Just because a farm might have a lot of point rows, broken up into multiple fields, or requires a different farming practice,etc…. Doesn’t mean it isn’t profitable.
Show others or possible future landlords that you want to succeed in farming by hard work and growing great crops on the land you currently farm. Also take care of the landlords that you already have. If they’re happy with you and how you farm. They will recommend you to others. It might take awhile but Good Luck and Hard Work always pays off in the long run. | |
