I have hobby farmed with my best friend for the last 12 years. We started with 4 acres and two tractors, borrowing equipment when we needed it. We have run about 60 acres the last 3 years. Corn, soybeans, oats and hay. We have a full line of machinery now and that includes a 4400 JD combine, discbine, a bunch of tractors and everything else you can imagine. Now we are paying all of our good neighbors back by borrowing to them or helping them plant or harvest. We both work full time jobs and then side jobs as well. His two daughters are grown up, and my two boys are 7 and 5, so we are at different points in our lives. So this year we are cutting back a little. He is helping his dad more and more every year with his farm, and my family is getting busier and busier every year. Plus the distance between our two farthest fields is almost 13 miles. My side job is driving nice shiny green tractors for a couple of bigger dairy farms whenever they need me. I can get always get my fix there. All of our equipment is paid for by our hobby and we owe nothing on it. Like I tell all my friends and family, this is just like when I was a kid pushing my tractors across the carpet, now the sounds are just more realistic.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
