Same here to a large extent, I help manage/operate the farm but don't own.
Hopefully one day but not yet.
That is the problem Ag will have to face in the next 10-15 years. There are so few young people in Ag and almost all of the producers are getting up there in age.
That and Ag has a messaging problem, we don't do a good enough job educating the public about our issues.

Cannot be said enough. I think the avg age is 55 or 65 - some obscene number.

Yea and it's a major problem.
I had big hopes and dreams of having me a spread and doing the replacement heifer thing. I make pretty good money for a 27 year old guy but when you spend 6 years in college and come out with nothing but a truck and some debt, with what land costs these days, pffftttttttt. It just ain't gonna happen unless I come across a drastic (as in a good bit more than 100%) increase in income in the next 5 years or so. I got sucked in to the grind and getting out of it is proving far more difficult than it was to get in.
