I am looking to get a job on a farm. Or help out on a farm for the privilege to use some land for hunting, or a garden

My name is Grayson, and I am in school for agriculture and will have an associates degree. I love being outside, and I love working with plants and animals. My ultimate goal is to move to Texas and work what is left of my great grandfathers farm. I am looking for a farm to work on in the meantime so I can get some more experience, knowledge and save up money to be able to move down to Texas. I am a hard worker, and very detail oriented. I live on less than 1 acre right now, so all I can really do is have gardens. I have 5 gardens anywhere I could fit them around the house. And I would love to work on a bigger plot of land
