Gentleman farmer in Jackson Georgia

Good morning,
I Am A Gentleman Farmer,I have a Kabota l-2800, w/ front end loader ,5 ft bush hog, and a 4 ft tiller. I recently retired medically and with the help of my 16 year old grandson have managed to have a nice size garden first year 2010 My yield was fair, the drought left me with a weak yield in 2011 . my garden is 100 ' by 200 ' organic so far .
I am not a survivalist just want to feed my family , we can and freeze alot . now that I,m retired I want to try my hand at animal husbandry . mainly chickens goats and a few cows including a family milk cow. I am by nomeans a city slicker but just never had the land or opportunity and means as I do now.
I have had my Kabota l2800 for 2+ years and love it . just the right size for my needs .I live on 40 acres ,13 acres pasture .three stall barn. I have all the means to having a nice family Farm.

Hello and :welcome:

If your going organic, one thing I was taught years ago by an older gentleman who grew a garden every year for most of his adult life. If you don't want to use pesticides and you have the acreage to do so, never put your garden in the same spot two years in a row. He had three places he planted gardens in so he would plant in each spot once every three years.

Welcome to TBN, several members here who do the same thing, bp fick grows and sells produce, but no animals, look around on the different forums and you will find lots of help, advice and friendship.

I grew up farming and quit years ago.
