Yup.

I kinda got my eye on some kids, they aren't out of high school but if things keep going 20 years.....

So yea, just kinda how its always been, it is very hard to get your foot in the door. You deal with 2 types, conservative old farmers that don't talk much but have had a plan for decades already, just no one knew.

Or widows without a plan, the land goes to a management agency that has a lot of BTO in their back pocket.

You don't have a chance in either case.

So.......

Get to know the conservative old farmers. Pick rocks, mow brush, help side the machine shed.... Might pay off in 10 years, but its hit and miss, don't be expecting anything or come in with attitude. But, its the best way to show your stuff and cultivate a relationship that will pay off way, way down the road. They have their heart and soul invested in their land, while they want the rent check or the sale money, they also want someone who cares about it to have it too.

If nothing comes of it you got beer money while helping them, don't expect more but at least you get a chance at more.

Right now you got nothing.
