You got to do what you want to do in life.

It is sure tougher to start farming today than in the past but there are opportunities out there if one keeps both eyes open and is not afraid to work hard.

My dad rented (dairy farm) his whole life and got nowhere with it, all he owned in the end was 25 cows and some forks and shovels and a wheelbarrow, he never even got to own a car or tractor.

I wasn't gonna be a slave to a landlord, i wanted to farm my own ground. To get that i even emigrated.

I had only 25 grand in cash but lots of pizz and vinegar . I started with a loan on half a section and went from there(full time job on the side the first 10 years).

Took me 30+ years but today i own a 1800 acre ranch ,All of it paid for incl all livestock and machinery.

There was many a time i thought i wasn't gonna make it and i made many changes along the way but it has paid off in the long run.

Back then people said already "it can't be done" but "Giving up" was not in my vocabulary.

Good luck too ye.
