I'd not want you as a partner in my farm if your first thought is selling off the one good asset I have - topsoil! Yikes. Hope you talked that over with your partner before going too far with that idea. :)
Sounds like your partner will be the brains of the operation, you will be the money backing part of it?
It's a good life, but it's work, and you need someone - wife or you - to have a full time job for steady income and benifits - health insurance.
Dairy can be a more steady income than other farming, but it is more work and in down cycles you can spend a great deal of money with less coming back in which is not for everyone.
