Its seems that young farmers are only being generated from family farms. As the family farms dis-appear, so does the young farmers.
A young guy working for corporate operation is not considered a young farmer (my opinion). He might be driving a tractor for a corporate operation, yes. But he's punching a time card and doing things and treated much like a factory worker.
If a family farm ever comes up for sale, its highly likely to be absorbed by a larger operation rather than a starting out guy. So family farms are not being re-generated. They are just dis-appearing.
There's probably a few young truckers out there hauling for a corporate farming operation, but they not dumping grain at the same place you are. The corporate operation they work for, has likely put up thier own storage bins, or bought out a grain elevator someplace that they use exclusively for themself (meaning they haul everything there instead of where you haul to). They'll contract thier grain and or haul direct to terminal when convenient, skipping any middle man on that.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
