There is a story that was circulating in the "80s A farmer who got turned down for his operating money goes home and decides to downsize.He sells all his land except his home farm,gives up all his rented land and sends his big machinery back to the finance company.With the little bit of moneyhe has left after all his debts are cleared he buys 4 horses and some old horsedrawn implements farms the home place only and not only survives but comes out in far better shape than if he had been able to keep going as he had been.
It seems a bit farfetched that this could be a true story.On the other hand it wasn"t that long ago that my area had a family on every 100-150 acres.It was also pointed out to me that all the brick fortresses along the back roads and the big old barns were paid for with money earned farming with horses.
Does anyone know for sure if this could be a true story?
