They started a transportation business small but very profitable, custom harvesting, and consulting business that they’ve allowed my wife and myself to develop and work with growers.

I buy and sell diesel pickups with another guy that’s a few years younger than me. We’re both in our early 20’s and both like to turn wrenches in our free time. We usually buy them for 1/3 of what we sell them for and both make a pretty good profit off of it. It’s all cash too for the most part so that’s always a bonus. Good to get away from all the stress that ranching can put on a guy and make a few extra bucks in the process. Plus if your vehicle breaks down, you might still have a way to get around.

Was a heavy equipment mechanic and do the rare repair job for neighbors and friends still.  I haven’t been charging anything the past years being afraid they would start expecting me more often.

Enough to break even in the long run.
