Well, maybe YOU should start haying, (small squares for the horse owners in your area)...then you can depreciate all your tractors and equipment...and you actually make some money cutting your 15 acres...

I figure between a baler and rake I'd be in too deep with up front cost.

Take time and talk with you local tax adviser on going SCH F the farm tax form and depreciation schedule. There is a huge advantage to this. You can either pay taxes, or buy equipment. For several years now I am getting refunds where I would have had several thousand in tax bills. Also for liability set up a small LLC. In Colorado its 10$ a year to renew and I think $50 to set up. Your state may be different. Here it was a simple on line forum.
This sounds like excellent advice. I will talk with my accountant. I'd love to put the money into equipment rather than send it to D.C. Thanks for the suggesion and info.
