No offense, Cowman, but around here there isn't other ways to farm. No land is rented out anymore. Its rented out till the elderly owner passes on, then the kids see $$$$$$$ and sell it all off. The family farm gets split up 4 ways from Sunday and some poor tenant farmer is now another 150 acres from making a living. The gentleman who owned this farm passed away recently in his 90's. The man everyone figures will buy it is in his 70's and his 50 year old son will farm it. The average age of the Ohio farmer is 59. It can't all be developed. Whats going to happen in 10 years? People need to eat. I graduated with 160 other kids, I can count on 1 hand the number of us who farm, who's going to do it all?
