I faced pretty much the same deal as you and found out two important pieces of information. One, make sure you have a good job so you can pay for farming! The other thing is you will find yourself worrying about things you never dreamed of before. Is it raining enough? Now its raining too much! Now it is hailing! Now it frosted last night. It is too wet to plant the crop, too dry to grow it, too wet to harvest it, combine broke. In other words your worries will go up ten fold. It is a challenge though and that is why we do it, because we love it. I think the BEST thing a young man of your ambition can do it get a job working for a functioning farm in your area. It keeps you in the loop doing what you want and keeps his worries his problem, not yours. And you will get paid to work there. It is great fun to work on a farm at times. It can open opportunities for you too if you get your leg in the door and build trust with your boss. Lots of farmers have lazy children with different life goals that have nothing to do with farming and the farmer is sometimes looking for a partner or a sort of apprentice he can teach his trade and help and build an operation together. I had a chance to partner up with a friend I worked for 25 years ago and he was kind of bummed when I went to work for a factory for the wages and benefits. It took a long time for me to get back to the farming and it has been a challenge, but some fun too. I would get a job working for a good farm in your area and go from there. Good luck.
