Land is expensive, equipment is expensive. What kind of farming are millenials doing? pot farming? Have to wonder about the authors source.

Land is expensive, equipment is expensive.

Not really.

Land is pretty cheap, as long as you are not buying in a heavily built up area and equipment can be borrowed or rented from your neighbors.

What is expensive is ignorance.

The ones who hook up with the people who know what they are doing and learn from them will do well.

Those who rely on YouTube... not so much.

We have gotten five newcomers in the area, probably about two will make it.

“Farming is easy”

“If you pencil is your plow and the nearest field is 1,000 miles away”

Headshake, but true.
