Farming as a paying job

by | Dec 15, 2010 | 3 comments


I’m sure you all have heard this all before . But do you really realize that most small farmers are making under twenty thousand a year? These are creative, intelligent, dynamic entrepreneurs who have risked everything for that.They are subsidized in parts of Europe, be it as forest stewards or farmers on government land. Is there any other way to bring back rural America than to make farming a fairly paid job ?

I’ve read if you have a mortgage-less farm , you might be able to make a living farming. We have been working hard to do this. But now at fifty years old , can I wait till I can afford to farm that?

This was an inspiring article hopefully will help us get through the next few years.
