GETTING ESTABLISHED 



Work out a plan of management that fits into the time 

 available for the farm duties. 



Don'ts 



Don't overlook intrinsic values of the location, such as 



soil, low tax rate and good neighbors. 

 Avoid excessive capital outlay. 

 Avoid extra heavy or extra sandy soils or evidently 



unproductive ones. 



Don't overlook advantages of electric light and power. 

 Don't buy a place just because it has buildings. They 



may not be adapted to your needs. 

 Don't buy too much land. It can be a burden. 

 Don't let the farm become your master. 

 Don't pay too much for land. There is plenty of it.
