One problem these days is, young people want to start at the top.....or at least a good ways up from the bottom. More and more, they're coming to expect this. Bigger, nicer and more expensive homes, newer cars, etc. Remember when a farmer ate lots of beans so they could sell their dollar crop? Yeah, that seems a bit extreme, but is sometimes necessary even today.
Another problem is in trying to get started and competing with the status quo. there's lots of opportunity for specialty growers out there that don't require a huge investment in equipment or land; namely, greenhouse operations. There are specialty crops as well; things that you can make really good money growing, but that don't grow or are not harvested in a way that can yet be done on a giant scale.
The guy in this video is anything but a youngster, but has figured out a way to grow crops year round in his home stats of Nebraska, and can make some darn good money doing so. If he wanted to, he could expand a few more greenhouses and really clean up. Problem here is, many people don't want to stop at producing for their local market and want to grow ever bigger. And to those folks I say fine. But for most, just focus on making a living. Watch this video and get some ideas of how to do "farming" in a more modern way.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
