Don't know Allan......have followed your posts on this subject for the last few months; My take......I turned 60 in August; for 40 straight years, I put a crop into the ground....worked for my Dad for a while, but was mostly my own man. For those 40 years did all my electrical, plumbing, carpentry, welding, engineering, mechanic work (mostly.....there were a few things I wouldn't touch), etc. 1000 acres (mostly rented ground) of row crop (medium size operation where I am) and 275 head of momma cows. Quit the row crop and sold about 200 head of the cows after 2001. Let my last hired man go in December that year. Had 6 tractors....sold my big tractor (4840) in February of this year.....trying to minimize my tax bite.....still have 5 tractors, a dozer and backhoe; plan to be down to a couple of tractors eventually. Still have about 300 acres of hay/pasture and 75-80 head of momma cows. Would I go back? No way!!!!! Sometimes wonder how I ever found time to make a crop...still busy. Put up a 24 by 32 pavilion with 150 ft of walkway in a 4 acre pond by the house.....couldn't find time to do it while I was farming; only has 4 ft of water under it now; will eventuall have 10 ft.......might post a picture one of these days. If you're wanting to "hobby" farm, I understand; if you're talking about the real deal......I DON'T GET IT. Luck to you....
