So? Just because somebody has a "dream" doesn't mean that society has to provide it. Farming is a capital intensive business. I don't know of anyone who has started around here in 20 years or more. The big farms have just gotten larger, and some of the smaller guys have gone to work for the bigger farms or have gone into seed sales or other ag related work. Or are just sitting, collecting rent. Really, at one time folks were starting auto companies. It's pretty hard now, simply because of the $$$ required. Farming really has been a case of "marry it or inherit it" for quite awhile. I think that now that input costs are a couple hundred per acre, it's cleared out a lot of part time guys.
