So it would be best to start as a farm hand getting your hands dirty in the world of farming and learn a couple pointers from the boss on how to start?

Use what you have,maximize the efficiency of your land before you get more land.Observe what grows naturally in your area. use as little iron as possible, buy used and let the other guy eat the depreciation. Start slow and small and grow by chunking. start at your front or back door and move out from there in zones. Don't listen to all the so called experts who are really just salesman for chemicals and machines and products. Keep your nutrients on your own land and use them.
nice stuff what kind of farm do you think someone who doens't know alot about that kind of stuff should start off with because i've been considering joining the army or navy and if i dont pall one of the tests because of my eye sight i've been considering becoming a farmer because that's another job that seems interesting too me

@drsjohnny I is hard to start out on a farm. It depends on your growing season but for just starting I think I would cash crop until I know I am stabile. Then if you want to dairy, start bulding up your herd. Just remember...You don't farm for the money or a life of ease, You farm because you love it. As for the military, one can learn some good trades in the military that can produce a good income.

as a fellow farmer i can say that Ronnie is giving great advice here, though i am totally organic, not Conventional like Ronnie and i do plants, not animals. Still, the advice is very sound. the older farmers made the mistake of going into debt, which never works. his advice about attitude is something i second....and staying clean. success means starting small, not going into debt and not giving up on becoming established no matter what anyone says.
