Initially, we decided to rent out a portion of our pasture land to a farmer with Red Angus cattle while we developed our farming skills. This decision allowed us to focus on crop farming, specifically beans, during our first planting season.
Equipment and Challenges
My journey truly began when I acquired a 1999 New Holland tractor and a 2012 John Deere 1750 conservation planter. I quickly learned that farming machinery is complex, and ensuring that everything is set up correctly is crucial to avoid issues in the field. Despite having no experience, I found joy in learning how to operate and maintain the machinery.
