I mention what horsepower tractor because that drives the size of equipment it may pull. Here is the background information.
Looking into taking over the family farm. 300 acres corn and soybeans south east Nebraska. Non irrigated. Some terraces. On the interior slopes he put corn, beans, and hay ( cause he ran Herefords ). Not looking at the farm being my only source of income, meaning I am not going to completely quite my day job as a software engineer. I want to more or less cover the ground at a reasonable speed with perhaps some less expensive large older equipment. Curious what suggestions you pros have in regards to venturing into this. This is something I want to try my hand at and I am not looking to be talked out of it. I have thought about it for 10 years. The farm has been share cropped the last 20 years and if no one in our family gives it a go, eventually it will go. And I hate to see it sold, as it would be waaaaaaaay too expensive, to be read impossible, to ever buy that much land again. So real advice on how to approach it sensible would be greatly appreciated.
