It is stories like these that give us young farmers hope. In todays world, it is getting harder and harder to get into the farming business. With land prices soaring, equipment soaring also, and everything else at a high, it is almost impossible to get into the business without a little help. But there are programs out there to help. The USDA and FSA(Farm Service Agency) have programs like the Beginning Farmer Loan programs, where if a young farmer gets denied by 2 lending institutions, and meets the requirements, he can get a bunch of different government loans through the USDA at very low interest rates. I am hoping to get one of those in the future, and hopefully get a start on my own farm.
