Howdy,

I'd have to say that your best bet, since you're just starting out, would be to try carpet farming. I've got years of experience in this sometimes forgotten form of farming. It has so many benefits that I really don't see why so few are pursuing it. It is so much cleaner than your common every day agriculture. I haven't seen a day yet when the weather put me behind on my planting or harvesting. My seed bills are pretty much non-existent and fertilizer is not needed. That alone makes it worth all the aches in my knees and back. But the best thing of all is the equipment. I pay hundreds...no, thousands of dollars less than most farmers and I get to work with the most modern models of tractors and machinery out there. It's fantastic. They also tailor equipment to your operation's scale. Say your a medium farmer for instance, you could go with 1:16 scale. You don't need a tractor set up for those great big acreages. You could even set yourself up for an extremely small scale in the 1:64 range. Parts can be a struggle with the machinery but their durability is next to none and they last much longer than normal equipment. I'm also laughing all the way to the bank when it comes to fuel bills. How does zero dollars for fuel sound? Oh yeah, that's my operation. I don't use a drop of gasoline or diesel. Someday, the world's gonna catch up to carpet farmers like myself and then I guess I'll need some of those government handouts that regular farmers have to have in order to pay off their loans for food and water. God bless.
