How do I go about becoming a farmer? I've always had a passion for gardening and the /out/doors, I've tried doing a trade but found that I just wasn't passionate enough about it to want to make it a career. Growing your own food and raising your own animals just appeals to me so much more than being a computer jockey or a wageslave. Are there any farmers here that can give me the rundown? What are the steps I need to take? What are the risks? What are the benefits? How is the life of being a farmer?
technically i am a forest and tre tech, glorified forester.>What are the risks?holy shit have you ever worked a day in your life?i would just say, get a tractor/large truck license.if you can maintain a chainsaw or lawnmower, most of the machinery isn't that much different.first thing you wanna do is be born by rich parents, so you can buy land.
>what are the benefitsI hear the insurance and 401k plans are great
