I can understand your frustration, I work in the ag industry full time and also farm a little. I would like nothing more than to farm full time. It is really hard to get obtain land. But, I am very optimistic. The average farmer around here is no different than there. I look at that as a tremendous opportunity! I feel that it is as important as ever to try and build relationships with retiring farmers to try to secure land to farm in the future.

My advice to you is that if farming is truly your passion and is what you want to do, then learn as much as you possibly can about how to make it pencil out for you. Find people to help you come up with budgets, estimated costs of production, and then be ready when an opportunity presents itself. Trust me, if you look hard enough, they will be there and if you dont see them someone else will.
