How much will a farmer spend to start a farm?

That all depends on the size of the farm, what that farmer is wanting to raise, and whether the farm that they have bought has the facilities needed to start up or need improvements. It also depends on what equipment, machinery and buildings need to be bought and built, respectively, among many other things. Start-up costs for every individual farmer is different from another. For instance, the start-up costs for a dairy farmer is much higher than for a sheep or beef-cattle farmer, and even a farmer that is only going to be growing crops.
