How can you start farming?

Farming requires a major investment, even if you start small. You have to have land and equipment.

It requires some equipment, but the investment is much smaller than what is needed to farm large fields. It takes less land than farming and the profits can be high. As you earn profits, you can buy the equipment needed to farm.
