A 10-year-old boy with ambitions to take over his family’s 200-acre beef farm in Wisconsin has invested his life savings in a rare antique tractor to help his parents.

Hard-working Caleb Bergner is one of four siblings being raised on the Bergner Beef Family Farm in Pulaski, Wisconsin. Caleb attends a nearby Catholic school, but when he’s not focused on school work, he’s hurling 50-pound straw bales, feeding calves and cattle, and tending the land with his mom and dad. Mom Jill Bergner, 40, is a fourth-generation farmer.
