If it was easier, there would be a virtual Noah's flood of potential farmers which would sink the ark. Why do you want to farm? Do you like to be your own boss, have relative independence, work outside, don't need expensive/time consuming college education? There are probably 10 times more potential farmers than openings, and the country is not begging for non-organic farmers. So it becomes an issue of sacrifices. Can you stand the stress of high mortgage payments/low crop prices, or do without for many years to generate the necesary starting capital, and work a second job to generate living expenses? At this time there are enough willing to accept these compromises/pressures, without making it any easier. Perhaps not fair, but none-the-less will continue until the de facto farmer cue line is empty.
