My plan is to create some extra income while still working a full time job. I grew up around agriculture my entire life but understand that without a family member with a lot of land, there is no way I can jump in full time. I would like to implement a 4 year crop rotation including some variation of alfalfa, oats, corn, beans, wheat? I would also like to build a herd of grassfed cattle and hogs up to around 15 each. Chickens as well.

Many unknown factors, I know, but I am serious about doing this and want as much advice I can get so I can put together an accurate budget/business plan to get started.
