Goals, Values, Vision
Interests and goals:
CDL for driving livestock to market. No desire for OTR.
Sheep ranching & Agroforesty. Possibly flax farming. Gardening.
Would love to own farmland eventually, financially starting over from zero as I pay off my student loans from engineering school.
Still largely developing my plan for farming, willing to work with what I can get. Regenerative and all that is great - I believe in it - but honestly I'd be more than happy to get behind the wheel of any conventional operation as well and start learning the business hands on.
