My motto the last 15 years has been, " The less I farm, the more money I make"
Sold the cattle last summer, paid off all the debt. I share crop the row crop ground and get 1/3 of the crop for no cash outlay.
Plus I now have time for my hobbies, ole tractors.
I tried the part time stuff. I would be in Arkansas working and the wife would call to say the bull was gone, or the water froze up.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
