I have looked on here but cant seem to find too much (probably haven't looked in the right place as usual).
How would you recommend a young person from a non - farming background, with a (very!) strong passion for farming, little support, a fair bit of experience with livestock and good work ethic should start out in farming?
I've got plenty of my own ideas ranging from the unimaginative to the ridiculous, so thought I would ask you guys and girls to try and bring some sanity back into the situation!
I am fully aware this thread will probably attract a lot of the usual comments saying invest your time/money elsewhere, its a waste of time, blah blah, which I don't mind IF YOU CAN BACK IT UP WITH FACTS, FIGURES AND EVEN EXPERIENCE!
I look forward to your responses
