Hello!
For those of you who do not know me, My name is Jared, and I live in North Idaho. I am posting because there is a chance that I and my family are moving to Idaho Falls. When and if we get down there, we want to try farming by purchasing 10 acres. I am actually planning on going to school to learn Agriculture and farming anyway, but I have many questions:
What is required to become a farmer in Idaho?
Would I need a CDL for heavy equipment?
How do I own/get livestock like cattle and chickens?
If I have livestock, what do I do with them in Winter?
Would I need to build/buy a barn?
Would I need any kind of licensing?
Is there anything else I need to know before I start? I know it is very hard work, but I am ready.
Any help will be appreciated,
Jared
