I'm not so sure he'd be able to do that nowadays. My parents bought a 60 acre property on a truck driver and part time school bus driver's salary. There's no way my wife and I could afford the same property today, even with us both having degrees. Land is freaking expensive now, and I assume farm equipment is also more than it was back then. Don't get me wrong; I'm sure there are ways to do it, but I've known plenty of farmers and apart from hobby type farms they all inherited their land.
