45, and one of the youngest in the neighbourhood. Our area mainly grows hay for all the Interior hobby horses. Decent money compared to other commodities. Locally, we see quickly rising land prices as a lot of Alberta oil money finds a home. The older producers are retiring fast and furious and with all the absentee owners, there's soon going to be nobody left to "make hay". I expect this coming year, there will be hayland available to rent for free or nearly so, just to clean the fields off.Even then there will be land going to waste.Damn shame. But what can you do???

Just turned 30. (if 40 is the new 20, does that mean that 30 is the new 15. Wow, I'm still really young)
Started up my own independent agronomic consulting business 3 1/2 years ago when I moved back home.
Farmers is my area have been quite successful, until the last 2 years. So there's a relatively high percentage of young farmers.
