- Jtsummers 10y agoHow did you get into farming? I have, and am considering, access to a family farm that presently just breaks even on farm income (poor wheat yield, but also some portion rented out for cattle), but makes a profit off of oil. I've contemplated learning and moving into the industry, also as a way to get out of the city (however small the one I'm in presently may be).
- randomdata 10y agoI grew up on a farm, so I had some involvement my whole life. The first year of my own business, I rented everything, and have slowly started growing from there. Having people to give advice has been huge. If I were to do it again, I would want ensure I have that in place beforehand, be it family members or otherwise. The developer part of me is so used to being able to find all the answers online, but a lot of the farming knowledge is simply passed through the generations.
