We took 50 acres of open land we bought for $75,000 back in 2002 and turned it into a full-scale farm. My wife and I had a small farm in SE WI and adding more land were out of line costing $12,000 / acres. So move to NE WI in a low-cost area and started over and it worked. Now I doing videos on how to "do farming right" off what we have learned over the last 19 years. Were helped dozens of new farmers last year and plan to continue. Have no fear.
