and for the guy who posted the "average income" of 80somethingK, yeah, there are some good years but there are some years where you make zilch. Bills are paid and you don't take a vacation but really it's all good as the bills have been paid. Hell there were years that our kids qualified for free lunch. Take that 80somethingK and divide by the number of hours put in ... I 100% promise you it will be less than minimum wage. But that's ok -- he loves what he does and he's one of the best farmers in our area. We get calls on a regular basis about "can you please take over my land?". To take it or not in itself is not always an easy decision and is always well though out.
I think this hams it up pretty well...

One more thing to consider, the U.S. Gov't using farmers as pawns in foreign policy. For example, Jimmy Carter implementing a grain embargo when he was President. It took years to repair the damage done to the U.S. export business. Some may say it has never fully recovered.
