The last 10 years, my neighbor to the other side has a 40 hour factory job, and farms 100 acres now - was 40, expanded to 100 about 10 years ago.
He's come up to a 120 hp tractor, a 95hp tractor, and a little one or 2 others. He's got a 8 row planter, 20 foot field cultivator, 4 or 5 row plow, etc.
The little equipment in our unpredictable weather is just too hard on the nerves, when you have to work around your real job. Also if you have a son that wants to work it too I see, you can each be doing something if you have 2 tractors.
70 acres is just hobby size for sure; but it will involve some real $$$$ nuimbers, and you better be sure you can manage the money side of it, which means timely farming, getting the jobs done when needing to be done.
I have another friend with close to 200 acres, and he's got way big equipment, he has 8 row planter, and thinking of getting a 12 row to keep up. Between the real job & the weather, one gets real small windows to actualy get the farm work done.
