Nice video and I like fooling around with hay at the farm I work on and I was think about getting my own hay farm later down the road and was wondering if you could make a living off of just hay farming and started with 50 to 100 acres or could you make a living off of 120 acres to 200 acres and have a nice day

What happened to the baler near the end of the video? The field must have some deep ruts with all the mud on the tires and is going be rough to mow next time.

Cost more thank you think raising cows but I like your mindset . You should get chickens and sell the eggs and they’ll boost your garden even more

@daddylongleg6128 4 жыл бұрын

Then you could also sell what you grow out of your garden

@mrbillings7239 7 жыл бұрын

Why?

@dukeskyhopper 7 жыл бұрын

To much capital to invest in to make a living from farming right at the start. unless you have large stack of cash, or a reallllly good banker. Takes a long time to become a full time farmer, unless it's a family farm.
