All the money in my family(basically the farm, since all family equity is wrapped up in that) is still my grandpa's. So my dad and aunt will split that, then its down to grandkids. Luckily, I'm a long way (hopefully :o ) away from having to deal with that stuff.

Though this brings up a topic that my mom brought up again a couple weeks ago...what am I going to do when my dad retires from farming? They desperately want me to take over the farm, since it has been in the family for generations, and I'm the only one left. I went to school so I didn't have to farm. This decision really sucks, because either I hurt my entire family or I do something I don't really want to for the rest of my life. :(

Retain ownership, but then pay a Hmong family to run it on the cheap.

$2k for a single round trip ticket? That seems high. Next time, don't buy it the day before the flight.

When I was making my move, our travel website had a one-way ticket for $550 on one of the special government rates, and I heard $1100 for a one-way somewhere else. Somehow, they got me out here for $250, and I have no clue how.

USCHOers could have a farm and a bar. I like this. :)

Well, its not really the kind of farm that would work like that. Farming at the scale that we're at is not something that someone would get into without a degree. So unless someone in that Hmong family has an agronomy degree, it probably wouldn't work.

The idea that we've come across now is for me to manage the farm, while still working full-time (sounds like way too much work), and have my cousin, who really wants to farm but isn't bright enough to do the books, etc. manage the day-to-day work. No matter what, I'm not looking forward to having to figure it all out.

There are some *ing smart Hmong farmers out there :eek:

But yeah, that might be the thing to do, and hope that another (brainy) cousin decides to retire to the farm before you go insane.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig

So bb would be Michael, the cousin would be Fredo, and SG would be Sonny working the bar?

Are you saying Hmongs aren't smart enough to have ah agronomy degree? That's racist.

Oh, I know there are, but the type of farming that is prominent in their culture is 100% different than what is done in the American midwest. Not saying that they couldn't do it, but it would take training, like an agronomy degree. I wouldn't need a degree because I was doing that for the first 18 years of my life, plus on an off since then, and I do have an engineering degree and am pretty smrt.
