Hi
my dad farms 200 acres up in Canada, we got
grain and I custom feed hogs for guys. it's
tough to make a go of it now. I also run shop
here and fix equipment for local guys for extra
income.
Most of the time the shops paying the bills if
hog checks don't come when they should or the
guys pull out and I change suppliers.
I would say if you got left 2 million, your
soon going to be a millionaire, Basically you
will probably blow 1 farming!.
If you got left the land and have no debts
after buying equipment you might do ok on niche
market stuff, but the butt can drop out on that
stuff in a hurry in tough financial climates.
If you want to farm I'd go get a job on one
and spend somebody else's money having fun. The
only risk you then have is "Don't come to work
Tomorrow".
With fixing I can also find out that a lot of
parts are no longer available for this old farm
equipment, or you spend days looking for it, or
waiting for it to arrive when or if you find a
replacement.
Small farms are vanishing for a reason these
days. Everything is expensive and some days you
wonder why you bother. Farmings in my blood,
But I sure wish i paid attention at school and
did something that makes fantastic money and
has a pension and benefits plan!
good luck if you go ahead and please keep us
updated.
Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
