OK . . . so you’ve finally made the break. You worked and saved and sold everything you didn’t need and borrowed and finally got enough together to buy that farm you’d been dreaming about. You’ve gotten through the first winter, the crops are planted, the cow’s giving milk regularly and everything’s fine. It looks like you’re going to make it . . . And then the old John Deere breaks down and the barn roof starts to leak and your lady wants that new loom more than anything and the one thing you don’t have is plain ol’ hard cash money. The farm is nowhere near being a financial success and, besides, you aren’t doing it for the money anyway and you can’t–get a job and run the farm and, besides that, you need the money now, not next month and just how are you going to take care of those unexpected expenses?

Fear not! There is, indeed, a way that works for many others and that just might work for you.
