Why did you buy a tractor? A tractor to use for row crops may be different than what you would want for hay. You should have had a plan before buying the tractor. Corn, beans, rice, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, alfalfa all use different equipment. What has been done with the land in recent years?

As already noted, you have a lot of potential with that much land depending on the soil, geographic location etc. Do some research and find out what best fits your situation and welcome to the forum.

Hahaha, If you're just asking this now, should have the bankruptcy papers filled out. Makes it a lot easier to answer. How much are you ready to lose to farm the land yourself?

With a full time job. Then decide what you like to piddle with on your land and try to scale up a bit for extra income?
