<p>Hello</p>

<p>Yes I did call the Farm Credit Canada as a first step. They have told me they will send me a template for a business plan but as yet it's not shown up. So I've taken it upon myself to do my business plan. My next step is contacting a financial planning & consulting service to help with the plan, however this will cost a few bucks.</p>

<p>As for the farm I am looking to setup would be a cash crop farm. Simple to start with just growing corn, soy beans, and hay. </p>

<p>For the most part I can do the numbers on the purchase price for the land and machinery. Where I am struggling is on the cost for seed and then trying to work out what the yields might be on class 2 and class 3 land. </p>

<p>I do like the suggestion of partnering with an existing farmer, and will begin that search right away. This I think would be a great source!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Please keep giving advise and comments as I do appreciate them</p>

<p>Hi Chuck,</p>
<p>I would suggest visiting the local Farm Credit Canada office and asking about the Beginning Farmer programs.</p>
<p>Your business model and case will be very important - what type of farm you want to start.</p>
<p>Land is important but there are ways of working around ownership if you have a sound business plan....partner with existing older farmers with no clear family succession.</p>
<p>Good luck,</p>
