    Find them locally

    Or go to Tractor Supply Company!

    Your local farmers are the first ones you should be talking to,ask what works for them and who the best implement dealer is in your area. Also find out what the service department is like if you need parts or have a break down. If your just starting a venture in farming you also need to look into crop insurance. Take soil samples and send them to your local extension office also to find out the condition of your soil. If you plan on planting crops for sale you need to look into some storage bins and if storage bins are not an option, is there a local elevator around to take in your product, and you need to look into transportation to get the product there. Theres ALOT more to farming then just buying tractors and implements so be prepared for some hard work.
