Here is a copy of the post I put in the comparison thread because it looked like I may get some good advice in this section too. Thanks!
Howdy! My name is Ryan and I'm taking a class at OSU about Farm Implements. So I need some advice on what kind of equipment I need. This is your chance to list your dream setup if price was not a main obstacle.
The situation posed by my teacher is that I just inherited 500 acres of usable land. All the old machinery was sold to satisfy debts so now I need to buy it all new.
So I figured I would just grow 500 acres of Wheat. I have 12 working days to prep and plant and then 12 working days to harvest.
I'm a noob at this so I have little idea what I need, so I would be very appreciative to get any feedback/ideas from y'all.
Things I need help on: Tractor size, Primary tillage implement, secondary tillage, seed planting (thinking I'd go with a grain drill), chemical applicator, then some of the harvesting equipment like the combine size and grain trucks (although I may say I'm going to go with custom hire on that aspect).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time!
