Plowed 30 acres I rented from the DNR on the Coralville Reservoir. It flooded and was never planted. Learned the first year that you have nothing till the check is in the pocket.
Next year I got out of High School and rented another 40 and got a crop off of that DNR ground as well.
Bought my first piece of equipment that year. Then added equipment every year. And slowly rented more land.
In 81 I bought 75 acres of land and about lost it in the mid 80's, but I went to work in town and hung on. Raising hogs and cattle helped also. Good thing I was young cause them 100 work weeks would kill me now.
By 1996 I owned all the equipment I needed to farm on my own.Before that I would rent or borrow equipment from dad.
Just a slow steady growth to where I am today.
I learned in the 80's the interest only made the bankers rich. So I try to borrow money as little as possible.
