[QUOTE="spurplantation, post: 857446, member: 17178"] I want to get into farming. As a child my grandfather ran 500 head of cattle on approximately 8000 acres. He passed away in 1976 when I was just a child. Our family had no interest in cattle farming so the land was split up amoungst his 5 children (one being my dad). I now have approximately 1100 acres most of which is pine plantations. There is approximately 30-35 acres of open pasture. I want to get into the cattle and/or hay business. I don't even know where to start. Could someone give me some start up advice. I am a single father with full custody of my 8 year old son. I want him to grow up with an appreciation for the land and the lifestyle as I did. Can anyone empathize? There are a few old fences in varying states of dis-repair but for the most part I would be starting from scratch. I have a 2007 Kubota M7040 that is paid for and a bush hog. Where do I start? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
