In addition to growing rice, soybeans and cotton, Lee County farmer Nathan Reed also has a land-leveling business. Rather than spending several hundred-thousand dollars on new tractors, Nathan has started to purchase discarded, decades-old tractors at a fraction of the cost and is restoring them as a way to save on the cost of equipment for his operation. He is using the money he is saving to buy land, which doesn't depreciate and expand his farm. Like all farmers, he has to watch his bottom-line and because he enjoys restoring old implements, this works for him. He explains how in this update from his farm near Marianna.
