Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice. Granddad milked cows and delivered with a horse and buggy. Dad worked on the wholesale side of milk delivering bottled milk to stores and houses. I RAN from anything to do with milk. Yes I have been know to raise baby calves and sell as springers but never wanted to do anything with milking.
On the other hand I know a friend that milks cows. His dad milked cows but was not ready to retire or even partner when the kid was old enough to venture out on his own. So what he did was he found a older guy who's kids wanted nothing to do with cows. My friend provided all the labor on the farm. The old man provided all the land and paid all the bills. The old man owned X percent of the cows and the friend owned Y percent of the cows. They split the milk check with the old man getting X percent and the friend getting Y percent. After a few years of this my friend wanted to increase his herd size so he worked a deal to pay Z percent of his milk check to the old man for housing; feed; ect on these extra cows.
Fast forward a few more years. The old farmer has died and the kids are ready to sell off the land and run with the money. The friends dad is also older and ready to retire. The friend already has his cow base; buys out his dad on a rent to own payment that goes to siblings if his mom and dad die.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
