Farming is hard work with little pay. Homesteading is harder with less pay. If I had to guess, you've never lived much in the country before; even just country living is much different and a significantly different point of reference. I would say ditch homesteading and try your hand at farming and see where that gets you, if you want to continue. Embrace country social groups.
