I think fishing is a better option. I've never actually established a working farming system at the beginning and just rely on fishing (and possibly hunting) for new food source. This usually works and when the traders come by, I purchase all their foods and cheeses and such with all the crafted junk and then I'll have enough food for a year or so.
Apart from making weapons and armor, I dont think metal industry isnt that important, but its fun. Golden thrones for everyone!
