ontario | You don't need to buy a 160 acres. you dont need a 40k semi or 80k combine and 800 bushel grain cart.
25K could get decent gleaner, axial flow or maximizer deere combine.
Gravity wagons to haul depending on distance.
But it is increasingly difficult to get started, and you really need a good off farm income to have a go at it. Cash crop grain farming can be a side thing. Otherwise the vegetable direct market seems to be a way to get in, with more labor and time input instead of needing huge amounts of capital to grow commodities.
Rental land an just be a spinning your tires thing in a lot of cases, some yrs do ok but then they want more and more $ or someone else outbids. and hard to invest in the ground when it isn't yours and could lose it.
