Well had some serious changes go on in my life for the last 6 months as many of you that know me know. Also had another huge change that I really could not talk about until March. Around the 1st of the year, Dad and I decided to hang it up farming. It was a hard decision to make but after 3 hard years in a row and a hard look at our financial situation, we decided it was time.

Now I have been working for a marine Construction company for the past month. Still looking for a better opportunity for me.

Ricky is looking for employment and is getting real close to nailing something down.

Dad has retired.

I figured I would say something since some of you fellas at making farming remarks while I'm not Farming anymore. I'll say this. I have farmed all my life and will always be a farmer at heart. Doesn't bother me a bit about talking farming so keep it coming. I've lost so much in the last few months and just trying to let the dust settle to see where I'm at so I can figure out what I really want to do with the rest of my life.. just wanted you fellas to know what was up. It sucks but will get through it. No choice. Just get it done.CF
