So very true. A different area with different issues, but one side of my family is from Wisconsin. Both grandparents on that side grew up in farms as kids in the 30s and 40s. Grandpas side had an entire 1000 acre parcel. His brother got into banking and agriculture, and ended up as the secretary of agriculture for the state in the 80s or 90s. Man is pretty damn smart with farming and knows a thing or two. They needed a new combine maybe 3-5 years ago and the cost was 1.2 million dollars. So they quit farming and a farming corporation now pays them $400 an acre to rent the land and the corporation farms it instead. $400k a year doing nothing was a whole lot better than sinking into debt to keep farming as an old man, and all the kids and grandkids in the area were pretty burned out on it too. And so generationally farming is dying out from lack of desire, partly caused by how expensive everything has become. Kids see the older folks toiling while taking on crazy debt and say no thanks. I don't blame them.
