I started farming "full" time almost 6 years ago. 3 years previous to that I bought jersey heifer calves. I bartered and traded different farmers to raise them form me while I turned wrench at a local tractor dealership. I chose dairy farming partly cause I grew up on a dairy farm and partly cause dairy cows have the most income potential per acre. One thing I found to be most helpful is to not listen to the old timers and their "If I didn't do it and my dad didn't do it, it can't be done" rant. Whatever type of farming you choose do as much research as you possibly can. With livstock low input practices like Managed Intesive Rotational Grazing is king. Grazing pays my bills on my 60 cow dairy and makes my neighbors envious of my bottom line. I do make money on the side fixing tractors only cause the farm I'm renting(and soon to buy)has a good shop. I live by one quote "If you always do what you always have done. You will always be where you always have been." Good luck.
