Hey Zenit. I hope you have a very Happy Birthday. Hope to see ya around

Thanks for the Birthday wish Zenit!

Birthday man!

Good luck, I hope you find whats best for you. If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Sure, I will try that I remember once I tried to drive a tractor, when I was 10; and I ended up crushing it against a house. Fortunately there was no collateral damage.

So, thanks for all your advice. I'm more interested in farming now, considering it an option for my future from now on.

I think that would be a good idea to try it out first before you dive into it. If you could find a local farmer that you can work for, that would be a good start. I don't know how things are in your area or how farms operate but most likely if you start somewhere you will be doing more menial labor since your experience with farm machinery and other things will be lacking. But, if you get to where you like what you see and want to continue, don't be afraid to ask the farmer if you can ride, or watch him operate his machinery so you can eventually learn how to use it.

A tough job it seems; but which work does not demand effort? If I don't have enough money I can always work freelance in a little town, though.

But I think I should give it I try, or at least experience how a month at the farm is. I'd like to know by myself how it feels to be working on your own food. And I've got no experience and have not done any kind of hard physical work yet: the only callus I've got on my hands is one I have from writing, on the middle finger.

I think this would be a worth trying thing to do on summer

Sometimes the work isn't easy on the farm but it's never not fun. Working in the hot sun, sweating your clothes through, in the winter time working on the broken machinery, and of course making ends meet with money. But it's fun and there is a greater level of freedom that I feel compared to some other jobs.

Would I recommend farming to you? I don't know, its a tough business to get going, it takes many thousands of dollars to get a couple acres of land, and a few million dollars to get enough ground and machinery to get started. We have been in farming for 4 generations starting back in the early 1900's.

But if you want to do small scale farming like with a couple of acres and just grow food to sustain yourself and still have another job to support you than that is up to you. I don't know how capable you are at agriculture and maintaining a crop so I don't know if it would be good for you.

Hah, tell me about the big city

I really envy you, not because your work is easy but you seem to have much more freedom than the people I know. Here you have to be always under the rule of time, in capsules and cubicles,... When I got outside, specially at the sunsets; it feels just right.

Would you recommend me getting into farming?

Yes, I do live on a farm. I really enjoy living in the country. At night there are no cars driving by, no noise outside except for the birds chirping, dog barking and the wind. It is very peaceful place to be. The closest town is about 3-4 miles away and only around 300 people live there.

If I had a chance to live somewhere else, the only thing I would change is to be farther in the country.

Whenever I stay at my moms house which is in a town of about 3500 people, I can't stand to stay there for long. You can't do whatever you want without being watched by neighbors beside you, across the road and driving down the street. In the summer there is always someone around mowing there yard so it's never quiet.
