The horse hay market is a good nitch but you need high quality hay and good weather to get it up. You will need a small cow herd to eat the poor hay you can't sell. And an off farm job, unless your hours are real flexible is not going to let you be in the field when you need to be. My advice would be to keep your debt low, borrow or trade equipment, and stay diversified (don't put all your eggs in one basket) explore all options. A vacation farm for city people could be a very good sorce of income for a man with a wife if you have extra room in the farmhouse. veggtable crops would be another with your own stand or farmers market in town, sled rides or snowmobile trails in the winter with hot chocolate and snacks. Cater to the public and they will take care of you. The old days of farming just to farm are gone.
