Seymour, IL | Agriculture may be going through a tough patch right now, but has historically improved.
Productivity has increased exponentially since the Green Revolution
Debt has grown, assets have grown faster
Productivity and efficiency increases has meant it takes fewer producers to do the work
I grant that some may see that as a negative, it may have had a negative impact on some communities.
Technology increases have added to productivity increases.
Overall and over time, incomes have increased, fewer farms are subsistence, incomes and net worths have risen.
It is not a perfect system, and undoubtedly some have found a different way and are prospering.
Fantastic.
I go back to where I started.... what is replicable and scalable; and has the data to support it.
Best wishes to you and your operation and the path you have chosen
