Learning what tools to buy and how to actually go about growing food commercially was not the daunting part. That Paine knew how to figure out. Rather, it was finding the financing that he needed for the farmhouse and accompanying plot of land that proved the tricky part. As Paine explains in the video (filmed 9 years ago but (unfortunately) largely still the case today), the banks do not want to lend for agricultural pursuits. So Mike Paine had to get creative in how he presented himself and his wife in order to obtain the bank loan he needed to buy the property.\n
