I have an opportunity to rent 80 acres to go along with the 40 I have now. My grandfather also told me he was thinking of getting out and he wanted me to take over the place. He wants to rent it to me and sale his cows and hay equipment. He has 180 acres, a 60 acre hay field, a 10 acre hay field (no fence), 80 acres of pasture, and 30 acres of pasture/hayfield across the road from the 80 acre pasture. Got to talk money on both places when I get back home this weekend. I have 30 brood cows now and could run another 70 or 80 easily. All three places are within 10 minutes of each other. My question is could I make enough profit to handle all of this? I have always wanted to be able to farm for my share of the living. Thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
