The big operator is reacting to commodity markets rising dramatically in the last 2 years. That is an attractive opportunity for profit in today's ag economy. No crime in that. Just free enterprise system at work. Everyone wants in on that potential profit. Big and small operator alike have same chance to capture market peaks & profit from them. Just have to keep control of costs, perhaps by renting instead of buying land & leasing instead of purchasing equip. Don't think big operators are the boogey man we portray them to be, they may be willing to assume more risk and may have accumulated more capital or have access to more capital. May have a sharp pencil. Ever calculate gross revenues on 6.75 corn vs 3.75 corn. Room for some healthy cash rents there. There is a place for everyone with a dream just may not be that right time yet for yours.Takes perserverance to get going and stay in ag.(And possibly a side job in town to subsidize a start up)
