I just bought a house with land and started farming this year so maybe ask me in another year or two how it's going, heh. No animals for now. I've managed to get a lot of food for us with some left over to sell.
Oh, in the US, nearly all farmers are either getting subsidies and/or have off-farm jobs
Japan also has heavily subsidized agriculture afaik.
The only government subsidies I could get that I know of (as a registered farmer) are from my local city to plant certain types of crops and it's not a ton. JA (Japan Agriculture) might have something else, but I'm not sure. I imagine rice farming gets the bulk of things, and I don't currently farm rice.
