What type of farming do you look to do? If its growing beans and corn forget it even those I know that have been in that for years are having a hard time making it now.On the other other hand you say say you have 20 acres I know people who are making a living on 20 acres growing high value crops and selling directly to consumers.Look to maximize what you have now not feel sorry for yourself because you don't have what someone else has.The guy that has Honey Bee hives on my farm and is doing really well with them would think he'd died and gone to Heaven if he owned 20 acres,he just signed a contract for 5 acres and he is as happy about it as he can be.BTW instead of waiting for opportunity he surveyed the area and liked the looks of my place for his Bees since I don't spray,use chemicals etc and grow some Bee friendly crops. So he just drove in an started talking one day introduced himself and asked if we could make a deal on him putting some Bee hives here.I was delighted as my wife had tried to get the Bee thing going and never really could.So he now has a bunch of hives here he splits and sells the new ones off and he's shown my wife how to make her couple hives a success.So I'd say you need to expand your horizons some and see where you get maximum return from the land you already own.Think its in the Bible I read it but anyway its great advice "Despise not small beginnings".
