I look at it this way. For dairy on pretty decent but not the highest quality ground it would take around 2.2 acres to support each Holstein female cow. Even though its a little smallish lets say you run 45 cows but since you would have dry cows you would probably have on average of 35 milkers. You would want to carry replacements and have a program to breed your stock and keep a certain percentage. Where all this is leading is you would need to rent perhaps 50 acres to support all the cattle and maybe buy a little feed. Hopefully, I am not going too much against the spirit of the thread. Further, I assume that the 120 + 20 acres, the cows, and the equipment is all gifted so no debt. With all that said lets have the fun that the thread is designed to produce.

Of course this is based on being in 1990 and dealing with the reality quite a number of dealers who would have sold this new are gone. As much as I would love to have an Oliver or White in there having JD and IH products would make for easier parts and service support. I guess the Olivers I would have to buy with my own money. Since this thread could be taken in a number of different ways you'll have to tell me what I got wrong. My choices were obviously on the rich side so if the budget was tighter the choices obviously would be different. Didn't include things like silo unloader and milking equipment. If working more ground the combine would be a JD 6620 or IH 1440.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
