Simple answer would be the fact that someone coming in without a credik line of atleast $1,000,000 would never get it off the ground. The brothers farming our place and my uncles places have been at it for many years. They make a good living tilling soil but it has not been easy and most folks just don't want to work that hard. I believe the American cycle for the next 50 years will have farmers back on top of the earning chain just as the car companies were 40 years ago. I plan on trying to hold onto my dads farm after he dies but will have to fight bros and sisters to keep them from selling it off for the quick buck.
They aren't making anymore dirt Regards,
