I think it really depends on what type of farming you are thinking about. I am 29 and feel that I am part of the 'up and coming' generation of farmers. My idea of farming is not 100s of acres of grains or herds of animals. We are 'truck' farming. With 17 acres, 40 year old equipment, and 2 full time jobs (off the farm), my wife and I are starting to make a go of the farm. We sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and cut flowers directly to consumers at local farmers markets.
I've been involved in this type of farming for 20 years now. In the past 3 years there has been an interesting trend, kind of a changing of the gaurd. There are fewer vendors from my parents generation (50-60yr old). However they have been replaced (in greater numbers) by vendors that are my generation. Most are just starting out and most work jobs off the farm. While I'm sure that farming will never be the way many remember it; Farming is alive and well. Farming has always been a struggle and isn't for everyone, but there will always be people willing to rise to the challenge.
