Fortune & Folly of a Female Farmer

Please support family farms

By |

My husband and I are the third generation to work on his family farm. My father-in-law detailed income and expenses out on a piece of paper at the kitchen table when we talked about taking over, but it has taken us 15 years to get to a comfortable spot in our farm finances and will take us years more to create something that we want to hand down to our kids. 

When we took over the farm, our goal was to have the farm “pay for itself.” My husband had the off-farm job that would support our family expenses.
