Gary,
We recently had a "new farmer" program sponsored through our local
extension office. Three experienced vegetable farmers growing organically
on anywhere from 6 to 120 acres discussed their operations. They all agreed it
is hard, but they all seemed to be making it work for them. (One commented
that he only worked half days in the spring and fall -- 24 hours in day,
so half a day is -- yup, a lot). They were positive enough to encourage
others who were interested. Things were going well enough that one
was building a new house on the farm, one just had a baby, and one was
expanding operations each year. So it is possible. There's
hope.
