Farming: It's an appealing vocational attraction for many people seeking an independent rural lifestyle. Many are called - students right out of school, people returning to their "roots", those wanting a lifestyle change, early retirees from the military or other vocations. Many skills are required to start a successful farm - passion, clear goals, production knowledge, financial and marketing know-how, and more!
