I like to refer to mine as fetish farming- it's more expensive and painful than a hobby.
I own 50 acres and farm about 25 more from neighbors, ten acres of Welch's concord grapes, about 22 acres of open ground for corn or beans and the rest is hay and pasture for 16-24 heifers I feed out and sell as freezer beef. I work with my neighbors who part-time farm about 450 acres, they have the sprayer and combine, I bale the hay and straw.
To get my fix, I help out my buddy, who is farming about 2000 acres of corn, beans and specialty vegetables (melons, pumpkins, seed corn, etc).
That and a full-time job with a really goofy schedule. All my kids are in college, so free help is mostly a memory. In 2017 I handled every single bale of about 2300 small squares- put them on the wagon, unloaded them onto the elevator, stacked them in the barn. Yes, I'm stubborn, and probably stupid. But I love it.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
