Your right it is tuff to get started these days.

Biggest reason is the large cash outlay to put in a crop for a small return on investment.

I thought it was tuff in 74 to start but it is worse now.

In 74 I made 12,000 on 80 acres.
In 1989 I made 12,000 on 400 acres.

The only way now is start small and keep your off farm job or have help from someone else as I did from my father.

I farm 1200 acres now and I don't think there is enough profit for me to help a young person get started and have both make a living.

Enough rabbling; Gary
