I am in the same boat as you. I have been fighting and scratching for a few years now. It is frusterating that my family won't help me at all get started farming. My dad lost the farm due to bad timing and poor decisions and now is retired from a town job. My mom and dad are very financially secure and refuse to help me one cent worth.

Take their advice and listen well. Good luck, I am with ya. I have the same dream as you.
