Darling you and Oliver are doing a great job raising your family and you shouldn't be worrying about their future just now, build your own and let them decide when they're older. Raise them up to be honest and caring and polite and you won't have to worry about their futures. They'll be alright. xx

My grandad had a small holding, and ran a building company as well. When he had a bad accident my dad took both . It was always a struggle,never due to not hardworking but due to accidents, floods etc. The minute dad got ahead something would happen like a truck packing up, etc. Mum bless her worked to, and they somehow got by. Dad told my brother and I to do our very best at school, as then we could choose what to do when we left. I was lucky,school came easy to me and I went into a bank. My brother struggled but with a good school report for attendance and behaviour he got an apprenticeship, and has worked for the same firm now for over thirty five years. " Worry doesnt stop the pain of tomorrow, it just spoils the joy of today" Your children are obviously smart and happy. I am sure they will all do well at school, then can choose what they want to do. With agricultural colleges and university courses a possibility they will have an incredible start to become farmers. All that education and the practical knowledge from growing up farming will give them a boost to start with. Enjoy farming now Sam, life has a funny way of sorting itself out!

I'm in Iowa in the US. 15 years ago there were over 1000 dairy farms in the state, now there are 650. The younger generation doesn't want the hassle of milking cows. Farmland is increasingly owned by people who live out of state. People who live so far removed from the land don't really care what happens to it and are less likely to use soil conservation measures. The other group of land owners are widows in their 80s. I'm very impressed you and Oliver are working so hard to provide food for others and give your kids a good life. More power to you!!

The succession question is a really difficult one. My parents had a small farm and they encouraged me to become a vet. When they got old they were able to sell the farm and retire happily and are now enjoying life. I went full circle and am now back farming, albeit as an employee on a country estate. If i'd stayed home and taken on our farm we'd all be living miserably with all the capital tied up in the land. Encourage them to make their own choices and keep your options open. You're doing the job of ten men so maybe breed a few more workers yet to take the strain😅

Congrats on your 10,000 views. You are up the hills at Tan Hill. Just keep doing what you love. Your kids will find their own destiny, either farming or something else. You are setting them up the right way by showing them a great work ethic. I live in Canada, but I grew up on a hill farm in Upper Wharfedale just like your kids, yes it was bloody hard work but I had the happiest child hood ever growing up beside the River Wharfe. I learned at a very young age what hard work was and that set me up for my life. I became a nurse but still love farming and plan to hobby farm in my retirement

[@Sam-shutt]

[@geraldbeard856]

i think the high costs of everything is hitting most people though even outside of farming.......i got two nieces that went to university for a few years then got jobs in the NHS there in there 30's now but they can't afford to buy a house they have to rent and cos rents are high them and there partner's both have to work and they haven't really got the spare time to be able to start a family. i think farming is different to most jobs you don't have much liquid money in the bank but your wealth is in your livestock and machinery where as a job the money you earn goes in the bank and that is all you have bassicaly. who knows whats in the future........perhaps when these robbin so & so's that call themselves a government have had there day maybe another government will have a more encouraging attitude.......we can but hope
