| East Central Ia location here, trying to gauge what the future of agriculture will look like in my county. I run in a pretty wide social circle, so I think I have a pretty good guess on the numbers, and when the baby boomers are gone in 20 yrs, there will only be 20-25 individuals/families actively farming in my county. Going through the data in the EWG subsidy database confirms this guess. That means there will only be 2000-2500 row crop farmers in Iowa by 2050. Are other counties in northern/central IA in a similar situation? Maybe places like Sioux county where there is more livestock will fare better? Seems like there may be opportunities for the kiddos who will come of age in the next decade or two. | |
