Who told you that farmers don't make money?  I know lots of farmers who make lots of money.  The claim the "farmers don't make money" is BS.

Any farmer who says he will go broke if he gets a $6 million dollar farm for $400K does not deserve to have a farm.

That's because farmers aren't having record bankruptcies. They increase all of the time. The country is losing massive amounts of farmers. I guess we just want a walmart type system for farmers. Just a couple of giant farms and no little ones.

Its hilarious that you say that the people that I know is anecdotal, but when it comes to the farmers you know they're all making lots of money.

Yes, it's insane that people pay for their farm. Pay taxes for it and then their kids have to do it all over again. It would be different if it went by the profits that the farm makes instead of the price the bank puts on the land. This is why there's less and less farmers.
