After you've achieved the "success" you dreamed, whats next?

[chigga102]

Love it. That is exactly what I would do and am planning to do.

During college I actually took a swing at the dream but came to realize that it would be an extremely uphill battle to produce the revenue necessary to scale. It was also going to require a pretty uncomfortable level of debt which unfortunately was not available to a first generation farmer during the financial meltdown.

This is also a live your passion lesson. Although I really loved the lifestyle it was supper stressful given capital constraints and was not nearly as enjoyable as when I was doing it for fun. With agriculture there are so many elements beyond your control that could wipe you out.

I'll never forget a beautiful early summer day I took a bunch of seedlings out of the greenhouse to start hardening them then went fishing. When I returned they were all smashed to pieces by a random hail storm.

I still think there is tremendous opportunity in this space for young entrepreneurs but I'll leave that for another post.

I'm doing this slowly without any debt. Basically it is not reallyba business goal for me. Living a life that is close to nature and stress free is appealing you know? I have always thought it would be nice and so im working towards it. This year ill buy the land. Next year start building a house and then slowly become more independent. I think this environment would provide the most fulfillment for me and eventually any family that I have. Did you try to go into agribusiness?
