Hi
Apologies if this is the wrong area for this query but im new to this forum.
I am currently looking at starting a small farm that I can work on part time and im looking for advice on starting up. Just to give you a brief background of my circumstances.
Im 35 and currently work full time in construction but I wish to start farming part time.
I have access to sheds and land which was always family land that my brother now owns but has leased out as he has no interest in farming. I will have to pay rent on the land. (Small money hopefully)
I like the idea of rearing dry stock for approx 12 months and selling on again but I have absolutely no idea where to start/what qualifications I need/what animals to buy/when to buy and sell etc.
Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks
