My Mother's family were farmers so I get it honestly.
I wanted to be in the farming life since I was a wee kid, but had to wait for the right woman to come along, the first wife was not into it.
After meeting my second wife, we got started with a 30 acre place in my mid 30's, upgraded to a 1/4 section before I was 40.
22 years later and loving it, I hope to never have to live in a city again.
