There is something we call capital formation. This is very important. You need to first form capital in any kind of business you want to go into. How? By investment you form capital not because you took the money from the bank. As you make money from the farming business, you should invest on tools.

You think of buying a flat screen television in your house and yet you may not pay your workers.
