Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums.
Farming is hard enough when you know what you're doing. Keep the city job if it pays well and you can afford to have side interest. Just buy some land and buy a used tractor if you just want to be out there for the fun of it. You can easily make a million your first year farming, just start with 2 million.
