Same thing around here, small farms have a hard time. You have to be handy with your hands, have lots of tools, a shop, etc. to make it and still keep your full time job.

Custom combiners will eat you alive and do a sloppy job unless you know them. After a couple of years start looking for a Deere 4400 or something similar. You will probably pay about as much for the heads as you do the combine.
Wildlife is a real problem around here. Deer can destroy a corn field and crop insurance will not cover it.
You better figure in Lawyer bills too, seems every year there is some sort of issue requiring legal help.
In summary, start small so you don't loose everything you have and build up.
