Show Notes:

• The start, learning the process is the toughest part, it gets easier the more you figure out the system a methodology
• Mike bought his farm property with $7,500.00, and $400.00
• The income from the farm has gone back into the farm
• The 1/2 acre is one of the few areas of Dallas zoned “non-residential,” it hadn’t been in production for more than 15 years
• Growing conditions in Texas are hot, just hot
• Get better smaller before going bigger
