I started farming 100 acres completely on my own recently, age 29 now, work as an engineer full time. I helped a family friend a lot when I was younger and have him for advice and to "bounce" my ideas off of. I can make it work because I don't mind running smaller older equipment. I have a 4 row 30" 7000 John Deere corn planter and wouldn't trade it for a bigger one, and that about sums up my philosophy on farming. In the future you'll see 30 farms per county, 10 of them will be full-time 5000+ acre operations who will claim to still be "family" farms. The other 10 will be guys with 100-250 acres like myself who enjoy it and don't mind being a part-time small operation. Then 10 more guys will bale hay and raise a few beef cows. Other than that its over for midwestern farming. My question for the "older" generation is why couldn't we have been content with 4020's and 4 row planters? Was 250 acres and livestock really that bad? It was screwed up beyond belief long before this generation was even born.
