Current State of the State Farm Agency Opportunity?

I'm currently in the SF agent candidate program. I'm in a heavily populated, growing area with a dense SF presence. Assuming I'm eventually offered, my intent is to take over an exiting agent's business (I realize I won't receive the entire book). I've read a lot of older negative reviews on here (and other sites) about the contract/lack of ability to make money (or worse) as a SF agent. The TICA04 and AA05 contracts are still in place, and they're still pushing financial services hard and assuming a high level of P&C. However, they're also still promoting the 80% new-agent success rate.
