[QUOTE="wjason777, post: 1171050, member: 22868"] Hello, I'm a veteran that recently discharge from the military. Im in the South Georgia area. Me and my wife are wanting to start are own farm to raise cattle. I recently saved up enough money to make a nice down payment on some land. There is two parcels that we have are eye on one is 10acre for $45k and the other is about 20 acre s for $42k they are in opposite directions from each other. Both are cleared and zoned for ag. We are more than likely going to go with the 20 acre track. Before we even begin to think about buying the land we are doing as much research as possible, Im also writing a business plan. After we pay for the down payment (25%) that's required for financing through the bank. We would have about $6k left over. Right off back we know we are going to need a nice used tractor and attachments, the land isn't fenced ,a well, corral, and a lot more I could imagine. We both have careers so we are not looking to do this to replace are income, just a hobby, to learn and gain the experience. My questions............ Is there any programs out there for veterans that the USDA have that could help us get started, purchasing equipment ? Would this be a good way to start out? Is there any advice you all could give me. Thanks [/QUOTE]
