Hi my dad farms 200 acres up in Canada, we got grain and I custom feed hogs for guys. it's tough to make a go of it now. I also run shop here and fix equipment for local guys for extra income. Most of the time the shops paying the bills if hog checks don't come when they should or the guys pull out and I change suppliers. I would say if you got left 2 million, your soon going to be a millionaire, Basically you will probably blow 1 farming!. If you got left the land and have no debts after buying equipment you might do ok on niche market stuff, but the butt can drop out on that stuff in a hurry in tough financial climates. If you want to farm I'd go get a job on one and spend somebody else's money having fun. The only risk you then have is "Don't come to work Tomorrow". With fixing I can also find out that a lot of parts are no longer available for this old farm equipment, or you spend days looking for it, or waiting for it to arrive when or if you find a replacement. Small farms are vanishing for a reason these days. Everything is expensive and some days you wonder why you bother. Farmings in my blood, But I sure wish i paid attention at school and did something that makes fantastic money and has a pension and benefits plan! good luck if you go ahead and please keep us updated. Regards Robert
