my question is how did the term or label "hobby" ever get connected to any type of farming? my definition of hobby is something you do for your pleasure and enjoyment, something you have a keen interest in, (ie stamp collecting,coin collecting, building with wood or metal) it is not a business venture where you expect a high return on investment. BUT having just read what I wrote here, I would have to say I am a "hobby farmer" I love working on old iron, built back in the day with quality and pride, putting in hours of work getting a piece of equipment back up and running, taking it out into the field and using it, (in my case my small haying operation) I hay my 4 acre acerage here at home and a couple of other small fields that the bigger full time farmers here don't want to bother with. it is definitely not my main source of income(still haven't got paid for the second cut I did and sold to family!!) :lol: sitting up on the tractor seat cruising along with the sickle mower watching the hay fall, getting the rake set just right so I can make nice even windrows so it's easier baling. getting all the bales in the hay shed and beating the rain! no better feeling, looking out on a freshly cut field with the smell of fresh cut hay behind you in the hay shed and watching the rain come down, no better feeling. it must be in the blood I guess. if it's not in your dna you sure as hec wouldn't work that hard for so little money! but I love every minute of it and i learn something every trip out there and i hope to be a hobby farmer for another 10 or 20 years :lol:

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
