IALTO - 11/20/2025 18:14 Boils down to management ability, only risk what you can afford. The current situation with the ability to insure little to no risk is not going to end well for a bunch of farmers.
It doesn’t end well for ANY farmers. It only ends well for those that already own land. The money all goes to the land, not the farmer.
Getting rid of crop insurance just might bring back some share cropping if enough operating notes for the tigers dried up and the old guys weren’t so gung-ho on risking their own money to put crops in the ground on more acres.
Outside of beginning farmer loans, govt subsidies have never favored beginning farmers. They’ve always favored established farms.
