Looking for a start in the tree farm business

[youngbuckWI]

Hello, I am just going into college next fall and will be studying soil science. I want to start a tree farm for my long term career goals. Specifically nut trees (hazelnut, black walnut etc.) Could anyone give me pointers on how to get started or where I could get some experience. This is a passion of mine and I assure you any advice that you give me will be taken seriously and with full attention. I appreciate anything that will help.
Thank you.

Me too!

I am (hopefully) going to school this fall to study landscape architecture and I would love to start a tree farm/manage a forest as well. ...but I don't have any land.

I would work on a tree farm some where to learn pruning.
I have been talking to a couple of arborists and snooping around here and it seems like disease control is a big deal.

Just my guesses, anyone know better?
