Yep, the competition is knocking the young farmer out of ever having a chance to farm on his own unless he has plenty of family land to work with that his siblings don't want to sell out from under him.

What we are seeing in my neck of the woods is the owner of a large hog feeding company buying land right and left so he can grow his own feed. With the high grain prices I can see his philosophy even though I don't like what he's doing.

The ones actually doing the physical farming won't have ownership and neither will their supervisors so the pride in doing a good job will go out the window. Jim
