Farming is an expensive endeavor. Whether you're starting your own farm or you have years of experience under your belt, profit margins can be so narrow that shifts in market price or weather can be damaging.

USDA also encourages military veterans, young people, women and the historically underserved or socially disadvantaged to pursue and succeed in careers in agriculture.
