[QUOTE="Otha, post: 1730335, member: 41397"] I think you can encourage us young people all you want and it won't do any good. Myself and one friend I went to school with are the only people our age(24-25) I know that are doing anything ag related. The rest of my friends left town to make some decent money. The only reason we have been able to get started was some kind hearted older neighbors that helped us out with some lease ground, advice, and the occasional tractor to borrow to stack hay or something. We can't afford to buy cattle and land at the current prices right from the get go. Even if the bank was dumb enough to loan us all the money I don't see how cattle could ever pay their note payment and a land payment. I think lease ground is the only way we will get started and make enough for a down payment for a places someday. You can only put so much of your town job money towards the cattle and keep your living expenses paid. So long story short if you want to help a young farmer/rancher out then help them find a decent lease place. [/QUOTE]
