There used to be a substantial number of Japanese and Filipino farmers in the shadow of downtown Tacoma, who made a living truck farming 30 to 40 acres. Very labor intensive, but they had modest income requirements, and usually lots of kids for the handwork. They did almost exclusively mechanical tillage, dictated by diverse crops, close neighbors (both farmers and non-farmers), and markets frowning on spraying. They each had a "fleet" of identical tractors- usually Farmall Super A's or AC G's- usually 6 to 10 of them- each with its own mounted implement, that was never removed or changed. Most are gone now as civilization encroached, but can lick their wounds with sale of their land at $50 to $60K per acre. Those with G's got a nice bonus when they had the farm sale!
