From the land perspective we are all a bit late I suppose, but equipement is so much better now. I use a lot of old IH tractors because I can, but I have a new tractor with cab/ac and it is real nice. Plus, it's easy for my wife to drive and as a result she likes heavy farm work.

We have almost 90 ac. and are new farmers - we both have full time jobs as well. I am fortunate enough that we can preserve a little of the area around us. Most of the area is still farmland in the immediate vicinity but it is rapidly being bought for cookie cutter houses or trailers on less than .5 acres. I lost my cattle ranching neighbor ( and hay cutter for my land) this year to a fat wallet who admitted that he would leave a few cattle for couple of years then develop the 168ac. Sad really, plus, I had begged my neighbor to sell 10ac to us as a buffer if he ever sold the land. Had that conversation just 2 weeks before the offer was made on his farm.

The new way is full size houses on postage stamps made of short lived materials....
