I feel your pain. Farming now is tough. If you aint big you are going to struggle.
I bought 40 acres of ground with 4 acres of blueberries about 12 years ago. Since then the taxes on the property have tripled. The cost of fuel has tripled,fertilizer doubled. It was a nice hobby farm for the first 5 years or so but costs are about to drive me out also.
Since i was a young man i always loved the sights and smells of farming.I worked 31 years in the steel industry,retired and have been truck driving off and on for the last four years.
I would guess that starting from scratch in Farming would be damn near impossible.
Drive your truck,save some money, make thought out rational decisions. Keep your eyes peeled for that great deal(they do pop up a few times).Be patient.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
