how did you get started farming

Posted by Brian806 on December 10, 2013 at 18:50:52 from (70.198.193.155):

My grandpa got out of.the army worked a outside job bought the farm got it doing enough to support himself and family and farmed full time then milking cows! Grandpa retired sold the cows off! and sold the farm and equipment to my dad! Dad and mom got a outside job! Started over milking with 4 cows dad kept of his own and finally after ten years of.working and milking they were big enough the farm could support itself! So thier full time milking now! So now on to me been working off farm job for 8 years making decent money living on my own trying to get started fatming rented 20 acers last year got 20 more this year want to get more for.next year! Dad isnt ready to retire dad is 20 years younger than what my grandpa was when he was my age! and my sister wants to milk cows so me taking over from my dad isnt happening anytime soon! So i half to go find my own farm somewhere and with these prices for farms these days it just seems imposible for a young person im 26 to pull it all off! Even buying older equipment the good stuff isnt cheap have a 1066 966 two 806s a 400 and a M so im good for tractors for now! Love my old girls! But grandpa and my dad niether one had to or even just hoped to be able to afford to run 40 year old equipment! My corn planter i hire that out new planters just do better worth the.money i think! Did it seem imposible to start in your beginning days?
