Self employed again

[Gary_C]

Gary, the cost of production is based on the input costs. Subsidies, if you get them - not everyone does, are not production costs, they are income. You can have help going out the ying yang, it still costs $X+$Y+$Z  etc... to produce something.

What was it we were talking about? Guess I lost track.

Mark, I'm very sorry to hear that you had to make that decision.  I know it wasn't easy to let go of such a productive herd.

Well Mark , quite the disscussion going on here, I comend you on your tough decision you had to make, I'm sure it was not an easy one! A man has to do what needs to be done, & what the hay if you like wrassling logs & makin sawdust all the power to you & good luck! I myself had to make a similar decision 10yrs ago & quit doing something I really enjoyed because of $ , but @ that time I still had family to look after....Play safe in the bush & take care!
