No doubt.
His tractor is probably from the 60's and running strong. It's a hard life, but he really enjoys it. Variables like too much rain splitting the tomatoes, or drought (easier to control with watering) can break you. Fortunately his wife has a job to keep them afloat. - Fenrir
farms are just so random. If you have the will to do it, you can be very successful. My dad knew a guy who was as dumb as rocks, and that may be an insult to rocks. However, the guy was a millionaire because he worked hard on his farms and had the right hustles (for instance he'd spray the whole town's fields, yes he owned a plane too).
Even if I could do the work, the just random stuff like natural disasters (drought included), bugs, and any other annoyances would just drive me up a wall

Ok, I only use mine on the flat sections of the trails, would be tough on the slope. I got tired of mowing a drop-off by one section of the stream, so I planted hostas that the deer left alone until last year. Consider plantings for that area?

Farmer Mark is one of the smartest guys I've met. My wife thinks he's really my father.
Have to have patience and really good planning, both of which I suck at.

It's probably about 60ft long. I can use the tractor and go about 4/5 of the way up the slope, before I let it go back down. LOL
The worst thing is that there are huge boulders at the bottom in the middle and toward one side. I've got to have them removed first. We tried to get landscapers to do it, and I can't count how many times we've seen the landscaper show up in his truck, and turn right back around and they never answer my calls after that.
