Howdy all,
I am going to be graduating from college coming up here in may. What
I really want to do is veggie production and farmers market, but I
dont own any land. From your experience, is market farming profitable
enough to pay for rented land? Is it best to go somewhere and get a
job for a few years so I can make a big downpayment, or should I try
to find land to rent and go into it right away? Any opinions are
defiantly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
