If somebody gobbles some ground up just to gobble and it doesn't even pencil out to make a profit.... how how effing stupid is that? Its those guys who just want to farm everything to show everybody how big time they are is what is causing this whole mess. When one LL sees that Joe over their got YYY for his ground then Tom is going to want that much as well since Mr BTO is paying that much. Meanwhile the smaller farmer who is trying to do things the right way and be a good steward to the land and be conservative and be in the black is now in a pickle. He is going to have to match that rent and lose money or go broke. The BTO is killing american farming and those who want to be that as well. So if you rent enough or own enough ground where your going to make 10 dollars an acre now you can subsidize that with a new piece of property where you losing money on.... does that make sense? I'd rather have that money in my pocket. |
