Kansas farmer builds wealth with cattle and alfalfa mix
Mr. Hollinger, a central Kansas farmer, explains twenty years of farm data showing 25 percent average yields and acres sown, with actual bushels harvested. He emphasizes using 100 to 400 head cattle to handle roughness and corn, shifting from pure grain to a reliable cattle alfalfa system. He notes similar incomes are possible with careful planning and soil suited crops. He recently sold $9,500 of stock and plans to retire locally for his family's education and his own recreation after 33 years on the same farm.
