Marcus, I wasn't going to get into this, but I say, if that'aswhat you want to do- I'd say go for it. But first, get your education- even ahead of farming. I started to farm as a kid. Then, I went to work for the phone company, and went into the service during the Vietnamese war. I chose to enlist, and got the equivalent of a college edumacation while I was in. I was still farming some, even in the service, got out, went back to work for the phone company and farmed part time and built as I could afford it, and bought a farm- right where I am now. It took a good 15 years before I was actually paying for the farm with farm income, and now it's my retirement keep busy plan. But, the training I got in the service and with the phone company has allowed me to accomplish many jobs that most folks can't tackle without hiring someone to do it for them. The experience and having the basic knowledge I gained has served me well over the years.
