I've been involved in ag all my life and there is'nt anything that gets in your blood quite like raising your own crops and livestock but the truth is that we are all being smothered out by the big corporate outfits. We just can't compete, don't have the buying power & marketing resources - the same with any small business. If you can find a niche market then you might make a few bucks.
There are plenty of ag related jobs and business that don't have to be a farmer/rancher as such and still be working with the same people and the like. I would not tell you not to quit what yo are doing but look hard before you leep!
Here is something to tell you a lot of how it is to be a farmer/rancher.
Good Luck
I am the lowest paid worker in America. Can you guess who I am?
My company takes in 10 's of to 100's of thousands dollars of income annually yet I receive no weekly, monthly, or annual salary. I am the CEO, owner, business manager, and employee. I have no benefit package, pension plan, company paid insurance, spring break or holidays. It's a "home-based business" and if I fail I loose my home. I am always the last to get paid.
I pay thousands in taxes annually and get no federal or state offsets. I speak English, am a patriot, hate politicians and lawyers, and get told by the government and activists where and how I can produce my products. When I die the government may force the sale of my assets to pay the "death tax".
I am part of the silent minority who takes care of the majority of the country and the 97% of the country regulates and legislates how I will conduct my business.
I am both self and formally educated. I have "degrees" in horticulture, agronomy, animal science, veterinary science, chemistry, accounting, and safety.
I work closely with the EPA, Department of Conservation, the DNR and trained in the proper use and handling of chemicals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and flammable products.
I work around very dangerous machinery, chemicals, animals and conditions.
I would find a 40 hour week to be like a vacation for most others. Sixteen hour days are not uncommon and I receive no overtime pay. I get called out many times in the middle of the night and severe weather.
I am sometimes a carpenter, farrier, welder, receptionist, mechanic, nutritionist, soil judge, trainer, weatherman, plumber, cook, veterinary, electrician, engineer and salesman. I have to furnish my own tools, can operate heavy equipment and use a computer on a daily basis. I've been called "Jack of all trades and a Master of none". I rarely wear a tie, have dirty pants most days, almost always wear a hat, and boots are the order of the day.
I work in the heat of summer and the cold and snow of winter. Rain or wind can be my enemy or friend. The weather report controls my day.
I have one of the most studied and scrutinized quality control systems checking my products yet I produce the best and sought out products in the world. I have "little to none" control to the value of the products I sell. My input costs have doubled or tripled in just the last few years and the value of my products has been near the same for many years. I am deeply in debt, my assets may be worth a great deal, yet I generally have only a few dollars in the checking account. All the middlemen between myself and the consumer make more income on "my products" than I do. And now, I have to compete with corporations producing the same products and some are the very companies I have to buy my input resources from.
My best friends are my spouse and my dog. I am young and old. My most valuable tools are my pliers, a pencil and pickup truck. I love the color green and yet fall is my most favorite season. Every part of my body hurts when I bed down at night, yet I love what I do more than anything I can imagine… Who am I ???
I am an American Farmer/Rancher
