Great videos, especially of the Deere plowing. That's quite a setup.
You seem to have a lot of equipment and I wonder how big your farm is?

In the US we use acres to measure land, I believe, according to a conversion chart 220 hectares is 543 acres.

You have a beautiful farm. I cannot imagine how you manage it without help.

What are your crops? Small grains?
I see hay so you must have sheep or cows?
How much does land cost around there and is it easy to find or is it hard to find?

I cultivate wheat, corn, sunflower, forage grasses, but i haven't animals ; Here in Tuscany we have many hills, so the price of the lands are not very high;infact, we need to harvest with special machines, self-leveling- I hope you'll understand my bad english :)

p.s. i'm the wife of Ogib, the reporter of youtube channel, nice to meet you!

Welcome to the forum!:welcome:
I spent two years (1986-88) in the Puglia region between Brindisi and San Vito dei Normanni at San Vito Air Station. Land around there was a little flatter and at the time there were a lot that still farmed with horses.
