I'm the son of a farm family in Central IL, our 2500 acre corn/bean farm is not large enough to employ another family member full time. I'm hoping I could pick up some ideas of different side jobs with current machinery we own that could supplement an income.

Although we live a long way apart here are some things that I can think of that is in high demand around here. We're pretty rural here:
Custom baling
Brush hogging fields
Snow removal
Putting in field tiles

Iowa State surveys Iowa farmers and custom operators to determine the custom operations they hire and/or provide. The link below may give you some ideas about the services you could provide.
Good luck!!

Welcome aboard.
With that much land, surely there is some abundance of wildlife..... here in Texas one way to rake in additional funds is to "farm" the wildlife..... people pay well to shoot doves, quail, deer, wild turkey, go fishing, etc. If you are not already tapping your wildlife resource, might be time to add that to the mix. Guided hunts where you treat the hunters royally can be big bucks.
