I have trouble with young trees sometimes. What do I have here?

You should at least make an educated guess based on what you can see.

Simple elliptic leaves of substantial (thick) somewhat glossed nature, alternate arrangement along stem/branch, kind of colorful obvious bud, smooth gray young branches...

Nyssa sylvatica it is - Blackgum.

Never would have thought of that, actually. There are large Black Tupelos a few miles away, but they deep in a woodland environment. This was in the middle of a farm. I guess they can grow most places.
