We lived out on the farm for about 17 years. We rented the place on a handshake deal. No lease, no rental agreement, just keep the lawn looking nice (4 acres). If something needed fixed, I could turn in a receipt for the stuff I bought to fix it, or call her and she'd have someone come out within a few days, and fix the problem.
We had use of any building on the farm site, except the barn and the old wooden machine shed. We turned the old chicken coop into a 'hog pen' on one end of it. It had wooden fencing on that end (roughly a 10'W x 20'L area). I built a gate out of scrap deck boards and bought the gate latches. We'd raise 1-2 pigs a year in that pen. Large hog farms (Breeding, Gestation, Nursery units...2500 sows or more), are very prevalent in the area. I knew several people that worked at them and, at one time used to install all the equipment inside these facilities so, I had 'connections' to acquire free, runt pigs. The only thing we'd feed the pigs, was cracked corn from a local grain elevator/feed mill, over ripe veggies and vines from our 25' x 125' garden, and table scraps. Those pigs had the leanest pork I've ever eaten! I sure wish I still lived on the farm. If the old lady that we rented from hadn't died, we'd still be there. Her son & his wife are assholes. |

Did you hit it in the head with a sledgehammer? That kills 'em better.
