Depends on how much he likes farming. If he's doing it to make some money, he'd better have a very good accountant, he won't make anything without more modern equipment. Try to find someone with a wide row corn head lately? If he soil tests his land he's going to have a bit of a shock when he gets the cost of needed fertilizer and lime. If he doesn't his yield will be in line with what's there, which won't be much. Take it from a guy that's been farming a very few acres of crops for 38 years, because I love doing it, and want to do a good job of it, not necessarily to make money.

Select your crop carefully, make sure you can get whatever you can't do yourself done cause a lot of suppliers won't mess with a few acres. Raising a decent crop of corn with old equipment just won't happen. There's other crops that can be successfully raised without the most modern equipment and only sacrifice a relatively small yield. But you still better love doing it, because the reward won't be in the bottom line.

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
