I have a 7' farm table I want to downsize to 5'. There is a drawer centered on the side. Anyone know of instructions how to cut it and reattach the legs?

Hello Lannie! It might be a good idea to share a picture with us! There are numerous ways you could do this but a picture would be helpful. It might take a bit of DIY skill and the right tools to complete this job. It could be easy or a bit more difficult. You might be able to take it apart and do some handy work but it's hard to tell without seeing what you have to work with!
Yes a picture would be very helpful.
Be sure to take pictures from underneath where legs are attached.
Here is a video showing a table builder cutting down a base. Since you have a 7' that has a center drawer, I would cut a foot off each end to keep the drawer centered. And then you would treat the apron on the length the same but cutting an equal length off each end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAgho8WmpsY You could find a local woodworker to make the mortise holes in the leg/apron for you.
Thank you for all the input. The video was very helpful! Now I just have got to get up my nerve!!
