I can understand your frustration, I work in the ag industry full time and also farm a little. I would like nothing more than to farm full time. It is really hard to get obtain land.

My advice to you is that if farming is truly your passion and is what you want to do, then learn as much as you possibly can about how to make it pencil out for you. Find people to help you come up with budgets, estimated costs of production, and then be ready when an opportunity presents itself. Trust me, if you look hard enough, they will be there and if you dont see them someone else will.
