I don't like BTO either, for Big Time Operator. <br /><br />I tried to be one and that didn't work out as planned.<br /><br />LOL<br /><br />EdEd Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-42923023725117474932013-06-03T10:06:31.308-04:002013-06-03T10:06:31.308-04:00My neighbour is a commercial fisherman and I guess...My neighbour is a commercial fisherman and I guess what he does and what I do are similar in this. He has a passion for what he does, He would fish even if he were't in to make a living. He has to deal with markets, buyers and prices just like us farmers do and he has to compete with his one small boat against the big players with a fleet of boats.<br /> What I'M trying to say is most of us farmmers are commercial farmers, it's not a bad thing. We are farming a lot different than grandpa did when he was just trying to live off the land, raising most of his own food and hoping for a surplus to sell so he could buy what he couldn't grow or make. We can be commercial farmers or subsitance farmers, but if we went back to the old way there would need to be a lot more of us.G706https://www.blogger.com/profile/03956852055757936068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-6820044360358337392013-06-03T09:59:00.058-04:002013-06-03T09:59:00.058-04:00I can see right now that I need to chose my words ...I can see right now that I need to chose my words more carefully. I used the term "commercial farming" only to seperate it from hobby farming or homesteading. You do it for a living, in other words. I didn't mean to give it either a positive or negative connotation. I hope you didn't take it that way, because your passion for farming is obvious.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
