I kind of agree to a large extent with the OP. BUT the biggest differnce is with those kind of prices an off farm job would go a long ways toward buying land, equipment and so on. Right now it takes a VERY high paying off farm job to put a dent in land and equipment. If you arent already big, its 2-3x harder to get in now vs 12-15 years ago.
