Rich, Why do you have to throw in the towel and sell all your equipment? If you sell it all, you will have a hard time trying to bring it back to do what you want to do. Farming life is a good life, but it is a lot of hard work. I would keep working at dads farm, and do the trucking thing if that is what you want to do. I do not want to sound nosey, but your comment about no being able to do anything around dads farm except bale 4-5 acres of hay, is that because some else farms it? This is the time of the year when, if you have the equipemnt to do it, is to look for land to cash rent or share crop, what ever is used in your area. As somone else said, check with your local USDA office and see if there are any federal programs to help you get a start. Don't give up, us older people need you younger people to keep producing into the future. Another thing to look at, if you have 5 acres to use, you might consider starting a produce business, it used minimal equipemnt, you can make a fair profit on it, but it is a lot of work, instead of giving up, diversify.
