[QUOTE="Bucky, post: 255485, member: 2398"] I am 29 and would love to be a full time farmer with my husband but land around here goes from $30,000 to $50,000 an acre. How do you even make payments when it costs that much? Much less invest in all the equipment? We did rent some pasture and have some feeders. I enjoy having them (when they are healthy anyway) but I don't know if it is a financially viable project for the future. I do strongly agree ag is lacking young farmers. All of my good friends (only have 2 or 3 ) were raised on large ranches - not one of them are ranchers in their adulthood. I think much of it is that the public school system pushing kids to go to college into liberal arts educations and AG options aren't even presented - I let it happen to me (I have a history degree) - but now I know better ;-) [/QUOTE]
