I think you could takle this. Might take some time to get all the equipment you need. I my self would look for something in the 90hp range. Like a 4020 or a farmall 806 or somethin newer if money allows. I would prolly have a 12" disk and a 4 or 6 row corn planter. There a lot more pricey but if your never gona plant wheat then instead of havin a corn planter and a drill for beans you can get a 6 row planter with splitters to do both and only have one planter but they are a lot more expensive.

Thats seed/fuel/chemical/fertilizer/equipment expense.
