Farm Kings

We recent;y decided that over the air broadcast TV was not up to the viewing standards we aspired to. As such we are now dish network customers and have access to all the programming the rest of the paying world has. One of the programs we watched when we heard about was a program called Farm Kings. It is about some family that has nine kids that mostly all want to be part of agriculture. In an effort to involve everyone, all kinds of diversification efforts are taking place. This type of agriculture has me scared. I don't want to have to work and think and stress myself so thin to try and have some standard of living for my family. The family on the show has two stores, some farmers market CSA program I can't figure out, and ill defined roles for all the participants. This is what will come to my families farm eventually. I have decided to pursue a teaching career. I can't or don't want to take all the risk associated with farming much longer. I am not going to be able to get enough land to have a career. Some farmland recently sold for 6 grand per acre around here. My landlord for what I am farming is happy to be working with me, but at some point she or her family is going to want more money or to sell. When I take all my options into account, trying for one good last year and getting out is what I want to do. One good last year is enough to pay off all my debts and start a teaching career wherever my teaching certificates land me. A teachers salary is enough if I don't have any auto loans, student loans, or mortgages.

In other exciting news,  baby Sophia is nearly 10 months old now. She crawls, babbles, explores and does all the things a good healthy baby does. She isn't walking yet, but will soon be all over the place in a upright walking manner. She will sleep through the nights and will usually get a nap or two during the day.
