I think the biggest hurdle is the start up cost's involved. I would like to farm, but the cost to buy a place that has any sizeable acreage anywhere near civilization in my area is astronomical. (Try 1.4 million for 134 acres with an old barn, no house)Most acreage is selling for 10k an acre. To many people think a bare corn field is a great place for a housing addition. Add to that equipment cost's, even for mediocre sized machines and the realization that it will take a number of years to turn a profit is kind of a deterent, and I would never be able to convince the wife... I've gotten about as far as I can go just doing hay for my own nags. I envy those of you that are established, just in the thought your doing it. (not for your trials and tribulations) I think it's best said "Nothing ventured, nothing gained".
