Re:The farm is sold barelybreathing: I am so sorry Jason.
Change is never easy. But necessary for growth.
Try to concentrate on the positives.
Hang in there.

Re:The farm is sold ChristyM: Even though I knew this would be the outcome, I was still sorry to see you post it. I know how much that farm means to you.
You do have tons of good things going on in your life right now - focus on those and the possibilities of building something better than you've ever had.

Re:The farm is sold EZ: Jason,
I don’t have the words for you tonight and I doubt I will tomorrow. I know what your family farm means to you and I know full well what seeing the fruits of your labor means. I wished that we lived closer Jason, just so we could kick back a few brews and I could enjoy the company of a really cool guy.
I love to hear you talk about your farm, but more importantly I love to hear your passion for life.
You are gona make it man, cause you are one of those people that understand what life is all about.
Jason, may Peace and Love be with you always my friend

Re:The farm is sold jason: Thank you to all who replied. I wish I could hug your necks. All of you. This is likely as rough on me as the original breakup was; different, but the same, you know.
Not my land any more. I will plant out the home place using borrowed equipment this spring. That is less than 1/10 the land I farmed last November, when I got my "don't want to be married" speech. I wasn't much good after that. Finished picking the corn that didn't get harvested after that speech yesterday. About 50 acres worth. It'll help ease the cash flow worries for awhile anyway.
I loved this land. Gave it all I had, too. In it's own way, farming is not that different from being married. Something that you have to work at. Tonight, my focus is on yesterday and what might have been. Tomorrow, that must change to what will be. The scary part is that I really have no idea. None at all.
But opportunities exist. A lot of them actually.
More than I would have imagined a few short weeks ago. Now it is just picking the right ones, and getting on with life. I was blessed with many talents, and being a good farmer is just one of them.
Thanks again to all who replied. Telling the family will be rough. Tomorrows job. Tonight is managing my own sense of loss.
All my best;
Jason
