A lot depends on your background, skills, abilities, and education. I taught high school ag for serveral years and was an ag extension agent before that. Both worked will with a little part time farming. I decided farming was what I liked to do and what I wanted to do so thats been where I've been full time for the last several years.
For me, and everyones circumstances are different I added a few different things to my hay, cattle, and horse business. Since both result in really inconsistant cash flow I invested in rental property and private paper. Both give me monthly cash flow to live on. On the farm, to increase business volume I started buying and reselling hay. Im pretty good at marketing and have a good location so thats worked out well. I decided I could either try to compete with other commodity producers or focus on selling a premium product at a premium price. Lastly, I do some custom work, mainly mowing, skid loader, and round baling. The key for me is I screen my jobs for ones that generate a lot of income for the amount of effort I have to put in, do them first even if it means something of mine doesnt get done, and always show up with good equipment and a sober operator. I could triple the size of the custom work if I wanted to.
