I can feel your pain. I now not only have my family but my inlaws trying to discourage me away from agriculture. I figured the best I can do is try to get a small farm now. Then hopefully I can "retire" to my family farm. Just here a while back everyone was riled up over an "idea" my spouce had about our family farm. I swear the fighting over how to run the farm in our family was terrible!

The equipment issue was a large problem with us. When the diff lets go in the main tractor in planting season and ends up costing $9000, it wipes out a large part of the profit for the year on a small wheat farm. I am probably taking the easy way out by working a straight job to build up retirement funds and have health insurance. It"s a gamble that the farm will stil be there in 30 years. I figure all of the buildings, fields and fences will be beyond repair in a few years. It"s really hard, but fighting is not the way I want to spend time with my family.
