If there was no FSA program, your son coulda bought the land a tad bit cheaper and been in the same situation. A program like that helps a bit for the first couple years it is out there; then the money all washes level and the program no longer helps anyone but I suppose land sellers (tho they end up in their own money flows to level situations) and school districts get to collect more property taxes costing all of us. I would say your son didn’t gain $21,000 a year, he is just playing the game to keep up with everyone else..... with no program there would be no market distortion, and everyone be in about the same place.
