  Hi all...would like some thoughts and ideas from you folks....I'll try to keep it short and brief..:-)
  My son... daughter...and I would like to get into market farming...but don't have any background except home gardening. We have at least ten acres out behind our homes that slightly slopes to the south/southwest. Was farm fields at one time...but now covered with junk pines and other type trees...most of which are around twelve inches in diameter...give or take. A stream borders the western boundary...so there is water year round. I plan on clearing this land and stumping it with a rented excavator....maybe two or three acres to start....then rent a dozer with root rake. Now the question...what do any of you think of taking in a partner that has training in market farming....either a recent graduate from school...or a farmer with knowhow? Someone that could help with the planning and work...right from the start....then share in the profits down the road. I know this is a loaded question...but the idea sounds like it has merit....what do you think?  Franklin
