The wife and I own 125 acres, 60% is in timber, we tend another 200 of mixed hay and pasture ground.
Our main income is from 3 500 ft poultry barns where we raise chickens for a major food supplier.
We have a 70 head beef cow operation with 50/50 spring/fall calving.
We only raise a few acres of corn that is picked on the ear and ground for feed. Not much money in small acreage grain crops these days. The old 550 massey combine hasn't been out of the barn in 4-5 years since corn prices dropped.
Biggest tractor we have is 72 hp, a good amount of the work is done with 50-60 hp tractors.
We are preparing to fix up a 80 hp tractor to use with the 15 ft batwing mower and also serve as a backup baler tractor.
I can see where grain farmers would need bigger equipment but around here in cow calve operations 70-100 hp tractors do the bulk of the work.
