Farming is for the innovative, engineering mind who enjoys  experimenting and self employment. The better you produce and market the more money you make.
Communication is the best skill in a group endeavor. You will not need to lift 50#s.  We have enough equipment for all the heavy stuff including   Allis G cultivator and walk behind Planet Jr tricked out.
You will succeed when you put care of animals and plants before yourself.
Many Mkt opportunities.
