a year already

well folks it's been a year and a day since i joined tlr and in less than four days i'll be 20 . it's been one wicked year. i've been in a car wreck, two fights, owned my first car, got my first job and moved to and started a farm needless to say i've been busy and i have to say these forums are almost a second home i've had some fun on this site even when things were slow and fires raged i've stopped in at least twice a day i may not post much (unless i know i have something worth typing mostly) i try to help people when i can even if it's just a word of encouragement or some advice and thanks to this site i found that i have some talent in making 3D models, i just want to say thanks to everyone thats helped me along the way and hopefully there will be two years for me. and yes i will have fun on my birthday i don't have to work

What is this about? I passed out from lack of breath trying to read that sentence

Glad you've enjoyed it, but counting a great year as one involving fights and car crashes isn't quite what I would have considered great. The starting a farm sounds challenging though - what type? Any pics?

If it's arable, do you have a brand new combine harvester?
How many acres you got? I feel a song coming on

a_a - what sort of farm is it? is it like our children's farm with goats n stuff, or is a like a huge industrial chicken farm with millions of chickens in gulag-style prisons?

Actually just seven cows and 13 chickens right now (we will expand the chikens, we hope to have peeps in a week or so) and adding piglets later primaraly beef farm though, we have 50 acres of land and all our animals are well treated the chickens have a whole building to themselves about 30 feet long. me and my mom are still paying for this place but it's a joint venture and i'm left to myself mostly i help where i can but we are both learning as we go. we are sealing a deal this friday to buy a 1976 powerking tractor it's small but the only equipment we have right now is a 50 bushel manure spreader, nothing our fourwheelers can't handle. another farmer is working our fields at the moment. it's hard but worth it with any luck we will be self sufficient soon. no pics as of yet my sister has a digital camera i'll get some pics off her later. btw sorry about the grammer in my first post i was tired, long day i guess .

But he's got 50 acres... how many do you have?

Chickens, cows, pigs etc - planning for self sufficiency, or expanding up to an ability to sell the excess eventually? I take it the other farmer pays rent to use the fields right?

Sounds like it will be hard work, fun... but hard work
