| If you are 51 years old now you obviously started at a good time to start farming also. Profits were tight in the 90's however the big land crash came in the early and mid 80's. I think you would of been to young to start then. You would have started about the time land prices bottomed out and started gaining value. It is quit possible that you dad was in tough shape thru the 80's but from what I remember there was a big difference in timing. If you happen to graduate from college in 1975 and started farming and expanding an existing operation you didn't have a chance and if you happened to start in the mid 80's you couldn't do anything wrong if you were buying land and expanding. No amount of planning can replace luck.
