I am the 3rd generation on my family land it is not much, just 50 acres. I feel blessed to have that much since most do not. I started after I got out of the service. The inventory left to me was a 1968 oliver 770 gas, new holland sickle bar, old hay rake on steel wheels, cut harrow without wheels for tansport. When I was in high school my father retired and that is what he kept sold everything else and leased out the farm. So I am basically starting out like a brand new person. So far I bought a case round baler, JD 4040, ford 3910, new holland rake, oliver 4 bottom plow, 14ft transport disk, jd grain drill.

The intial investment cost are way higher then income. I have friends that have taken over the family operation, but it was basically a turnkey operation, most everything was there and already paid for.
