I am in the same boat as you. I have been fighting and scratching for a few years now. It is frusterating that my family won't help me at all get started farming. My dad lost the farm due to bad timing and poor decisions and now is retired from a town job. My mom and dad are very financially secure and refuse to help me one cent worth. My neighbors have been more supportive and helpful than my family. My dad will joke that he can't understand why this or that keeps breaking down, when he farmed with a similar pieces of equipment it never had problems. That is because it was 40 years newer. I farm with all the old stuff and make it work. I get very similar yeilds as my neighbors on a much smaller equipment budget. I have self taught my mechanical skills and my farm skills. We are chugging along very slow, but you have to keep your head up and stay focused. Push the nay sayers out and listen to the ones that care. I have learned that family isn't always the ones that want to see you succeed. A lot of the older generation really like to see a young guy work hard and succeed. They tend to be the most supportive. Take their advice and listen well. Good luck, I am with ya. I have the same dream as you.
