Most of y’all would crack under the amount of stress from crop loans to actual crop in the fields.


I'm in the same boat as you. Started with 100 acres when I got out of military. Now farm 4k+ acres. These boys need a 4mil dollar loan and be at the mercy of the market and mother nature to pay it back. And then be hated by the people you feed. If you want to farm you can get in. Problem is that most are too scared

I don’t think that’s true, even in this thread.

I think people just get tired of all the woe is me talk. Both of the farmers in this thread have reminded us multiple times how hard their job is, for example.
