Kubota Zero Turn Mower. Need some help!

Good evening! Recently, my father passed away and left behind several pieces of farm equipment to me and my siblings. This zero-turn was his pride and joy and as much as it pains me, we would like to put it on the market. I would greatly appreciate any help on 1.) it's worth and 2.) the best places to sell. I believe it has about 150 hours on it. Thanks all!

farm jobs!!!

Hey there, farming community! I'm a 14yr old (F) who is passionate about working with farm animals and learning about agriculture. I live in Maryland, if it's in Pennyslvania or Virginia that could also work! If you know of any opportunities where I can work with animals and engage in agricultural activities, all while working with parental consent, please reach out. I'm ready to get my hands dirty and learn as much as I can! Thanks a bunch!

Cameras on the farm

Hello, so I would like a camera floodlight combo that runs on battery power where you don’t need WiFi is there something even like that? If so I’m open to suggestions.

X Raying Russet Potato

This year we’ve had to x ray every russet potato due to Hollow heart. 2 more days and it’s finally over! What a pain it’s been but it had to be done. Has anyone else run into this problem this year?

Equipment for picking tall trees on slopes?

We have clove on our farms and here people harvest them either chemically which we can’t because we’re organic or blinding scaffolding inside the branches of the tree and bending limbs which damages the trees. People get injured every year. Our terrain is pretty sloped at least 5-10 degrees but in some places 20. Anyone know of equipment that can work in that environment?

Not sure where to post this - apologies if it doesn’t belong! 27F dog cat in CO looking for rental on/nearby farm

Looking for advice. I moved to Denver last July and will be looking to move around July/August this year when my current lease ends. I would love to live on/nearby a farm out & around the Denver area, but I’m still much too broke to be looking to buying my own farm or co-owning one — more so interested in renting something (I can afford around $1,600 month) on a ranch or nearby one. I’d be open to offering farmhand help if part of deal or even possibly to volunteer some of my time — I love to be around animals, brings me peace. I have decent credit, make $80k w/ a hybrid job based in Denver, and live with my dog and cat. I’m open to anyone who may know someone who knows someone, has resources/groups I could look into, personal advice, anything !! Message me, Thank you in advance 💜

How much do you estimate the local watering hole is getting from your net profits?

My rough guess $1500-2000 a year but it varies. Too much in any case.

How much land and animals to do farming as your only occupation?

Texas, USA. Co-worker owns 13 acre or so. I'm not sure how much of it is hay, but he apparently netted a little over $2,000 the other year. Bossman owns some 100 acre but uses a total of 200-250. I know he's got some number of cows, just not sure how many. Apparently neither of them have enough to do "farming" as their only occupation.

So what my question is, how much land and animals, crops do you need, to do farming as your only occupation?
