[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 198000, member: 2905"] Michele Been down this road myself. IMO-for small acreages owning equipment is not a good place for your capital $$. Either have it custom farmed or rent out. If you rent out you will not tie up capital that can be used for higher ROI assets such as livestock. If you rent out have a provision in the lease that lets you take back a portion of your land, as needed for your uses. This will let you expand your livestock operation, debt free, as you accumulate additional capital. As we are in the early stages of the down side of the cattle price cycle, debt based expansion of a cattle business would be very risky at this point. However in a few years, as the price cycle begins its upward phase, will be an opportune time for expansion. Having accumulated capitol and additional land will make it easy to expand when the right opportumity arises. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck & happy trails. Brock [/QUOTE]
