I am a 29 year old farmer that has had a of farm job in the past but on june 17 2002 quit my job because my 48 year old dad died from a heart attack and 14 months earlier my mom died at 46 yers old from brain cancer. I know that if my dad was still alive he would not have been able to survive this year. My dad had over $400,000.00 in life insurance and we will see about 5,000.00 of this. My brother who is getting married in april farms with me. This is a hell of a bad year and to hold on to the cattle we are selling off our 60 farrow to finish hogs just to feed the cattle. This is a tough year but i would not trade what i have here in alberta to live any where else in the world. We just don't know how lucky we have it until we travel to other places in canada. This is a set back that we alll will never forget. We hopefully will never be caught again with our pants down. This means a good carry over of feed and straw.We are not invincable but in good years we can prepare ourselves more.This is a hard lesson for myself in a already hard year. We are now just in survival mode and hopefully will see another year.You must amitt that alberta is one of the best places in the world to live.
