my folks made a living on 160 acres. mom worked as an rn in a nursing home. this was in the 60s and 70s. started small, one piece of used equipment at a time. 5 old farmall tractors, never paid over 500 for any of them. raised cattle, sheep,pigs goats,horses,chickens and rabbits, something always made some money. of course we never wasted anything! they built a new house in the 70s, most of it done by us. 3 of us boys, never had much extra but were never lacking what we needed. dad is 83 now, rents all his tillable ground out now to a young farm family. he told me just yesterday that he hasn't owed anyone any money for many years. he loved farming and still keeps busy almost everyday piddling and raising beef cows. he just bought a 1962 606 ihc loader tractor with p/s, the snazziest tractor he has ever been on! i don't know if it can be done today or not. lowell
