[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1758650, member: 19817"] We own two farms about 6 miles apart as the crow flies and 9 miles by road we live at one and I have my main facilities and shop here the away farm is pasture and a place to work out of when making hay. I also make hay within about a 30 mile radius so I have a tool truck pretty well stocked up, but even so it seems I'm always running back and forth because I forgot something. Or I run to the away farm to quick check cows in my wife's suv only to find something in need of fixing that requires me to run the 9 miles home to get supplies and then run back. Or a sick or injured cow so I have to run back and forth getting meds. The away farm has a 1/2 mile driveway off a dead end county road and our house and shop is right on the highway. That 1/2 mile long drive offers privacy but its a pain to keep plowed in a winter with 25 feet of snowfall and 12 foot drifts, it can get impassable in the spring when 7 foot of frost is bubbling out of the clay and the county road has weight limits on it which can impact certain truck options in the spring. Being on the highway means I can always get in and out, I can legally get a semi truck in here 365 days a year, hauling hay and cattle in/out is a breeze. There is pluses and minuses to both locations. [/QUOTE]
