It is sure tougher to start farming today than in the past but there are opportunities out there if one keeps both eyes open and is not afraid to work hard.

I had only 25 grand in cash but lots of pizz and vinegar . I started with a loan on half a section and went from there(full time job on the side the first 10 years).

Back then people said already "it can't be done" but "Giving up" was not in my vocabulary.
