I am curious how many people rent their farms and
how many own and what their opinions are in comparison.
I am asking this because I may have to rent my
place out for 2-3 years. It is almost at the stage to be a
paying/profitable farm. It has 2 large garden areas that are ready to go
with a waiting client list. I also have a herd of 10 and growing Dexter
cattle and a herd of quality hand spinner's wool sheep. The house is
modest but quite livable, 3 bedrooms and one bath. The land is 53 acres,
all flat and usable, close to a small town and 35 miles from a large
one.
I have been here about 3 years working on
it. I have a herniated disk in my lower back. It will (hopefully)
repair it's self without surgery in a couple years if I allow it to.
Farming and gardening are pretty much out of the question unless I opt for
surgery.
I really hate to consider selling my cows and
sheep and just shutting everything down. I am weighing my
options.
Please let me know what you think. Shall I
try to rent it, find a caretaker or just shut down for a couple of
years??
Thanks,
Margaret SW Oregon
