Hi, I am 30 years old, university student. I am studying business subjects at the moment. I have worked with different firms on different levels. Right from my childhood, I love animals and always dream to have my own firm. I really love it and vast fields, many sheep, catles, hens, some dogs, a cottage etc always fascinated me. But, I know all these things require capital investment. I have some savings, but not sure how much money (capital) is initially required to start a farm business, and what sources to raise capital are available. I need your guidance please. Many thanks
