You want to put in a 1/2 acre food plot, and might do more, with additional land? You certainly don't NEED a 70 hp D19 for that- along with it's cracked head problems. When I was growing up-50s, our biggest tractor was a WD45, no loader, no power steering, and we ran up to 560 acres! Along with a 1939 WC, Model C, and later the C went to a WD.

Now, it is considered essential. It is no wonder that foreigners think we are soft.
