I went in to work today, even though it's snowing, and walked out a dollar an hour richer and formally titled "service manager". Which is what I've unofficially been for the past 3 years. But now it's official. I went all in for a brand new take home company vehicle at the end of the season too but got a "we'll have to check account after skid steer but maybe". After that I pretty much told them if I don't start benefiting like they do then there's nothing from stopping their 16 year employee from moving down south and getting a job year round cuz the winters and unemployment here are just too harsh. Which is something that I really have been considering.

how many acres is pasture? not sure how many it takes to support one cow, but seems like you have a big enough piece of land to grow your own silage?

I visited friends once in southern Ontario. They had 40 acres. They maintained the front lawn (a thousand square feet) and allowed the rest to go wild. They ended up with an island ecology whose microfauna attracted the attention of University and State researchers.

Sometimes, keeping the land wild has benefits not reckonable in silage or profit. I salute landowners who see wildland as wealth.

Start your own biz and raid their customer base. Then later, you can merge with them and become instant VP. Or just squeeze them out.

The pool place over here does pools and fireplaces. The fireplace part keeps most of them working through winter.

My buddy retired young from where I worked and started a deck cleaning business. He's raking it in, man. Writes off his truck and all kinds of shit. I think he has stock in Thompson's Water Sealer. And rich sections don't even ask the price and they're the only people who hire him.
