pretty much hobby farm for us. grandparents were "gentleman" farmer my grandpa worked for the power company and they used to have a small 10 cow dairy back in the late 40's/50's and grow some veggies on 55ac. then my dad got into beef and we still raise some beef herfords and belted galloway, square bale about 15ac keep enough for our use and sell some to horse people and we purchase some baleage for feed during the winter, used to grow some corn for silage but it got to be more of a hasel than it was worth. i also started a small maple sugaring operation which besides running equipment/tractors is my favorite "hobby". my wife and i live off the farm on 2ac and grow a large garden and raise a few hens/meat birds for her ethnic employees. i worked full time for the phone company for 13yrs then they thought its time to cut some heads so last in 1st out union rules i got the boot. now i'm splitting time between electrical work, milking/cropwork for a dairy and our hobby farm. we use alot of older equipment but have 1 newer 15yr old tractor and we still have the original tractor grandpa purchased an old jd h hand start.
