a area would be nice like the others say, but this is my opinion..row cropping is way expensive to get into,especially if you dont have the implements needed ,and have to puchases new.hay is just as expensive,as far as equipment goes. but pasture on the other hand is relativly, after the initial investment of seed etc , inexpensive.( whats that old saying,you can take care of 300 acres of pasture for the same expense and effort as you can row crop 25 acres)I'm not talking hay, just pasture.a lot would depend on your fences etc and if there were any restrictions in the area but one way of making it pay is to simply raise your own beef for your personal use,and enough garden to feed your family.If you live there, you could even buy some baby calves ,bottle feed them and then turn them on grass pasture.There is an increasing interest in grass fed beef,and that may be a market for you.goats or sheep are an option also.It just depends on your circumstances.You dont have to lose land tax money,if theres a fishing pond charge folks a couple of dollars a day to fish,lots of things you can do,just depends on what you are willing or have the time to do.Just feeding your family alone is more of an expense than what most realize when you figure it over a years time and its getting higher every day.That expense could pay the taxes,or even more, if you could raise most of what you eat.With your n and b you could easily grow a large garden, and you could probably get by with just a disc and a one row cultivator to start. You say your close to town,so you could sell your excess locally.Theres lady here has put two or three children through college,with just a few acres of okra and thats her sole source of income besides!. she just simply sells to local resturants.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
