[QUOTE="beltane, post: 8113232, member: 167179"] Good afternoon everyone! I am an American with strong ties to Britain - but will be farming over here in the US. I am brand new to it all, I am not from farming stock - just a blue collar, working class family. I own 24 acres (8 of which is wooded and I plan to keep that way) and I want to know... where do I start? What books can I read? Who should I speak to? My neighbor is a cattle farmer of Angus beef, about ~300 head but doesn't know much about small holding farming, or what I want to do. I would like to have a cow/calf rotation each year (so I can make butter and cheese) -- and am thinking about mixed rotational farming for goats/sheep perhaps (I am unsure - no one does this out here in the US, small holdings are a new and fresh idea out here, and Britain has all the perfection of it) but I am slightly overwhelmed with the prospect of planning everything. Just need some help to point me in the right direction. I've got loads of motivation and luckily, good investment dollars to help me with my plans. I just need a plan. Anything you can tell me, anything at all, will be helpful. [/QUOTE]
