It's a very complicated issue when you think about it. I tend to agree with those that say it is not up to government to set a dream in motion but there are exceptions. It's not only about the young but those who are under financed. It seems farming is about who has big money. They are going to be the players going into the future. And you are right that nearly all the big money people are not making overly rational decisions when it comes to rental and land prices. Before anybody yells sour grapes I fail to see the business sense in paying in excess of 4000 dollars per acre on ground that can only be used for pasture or lesser hay crops based on the soil profile. I am going out on a limb and will note there are more and more big cash operators coming in that use illicit money (drug money) to finance their business. I would agree with those that say you just have to deal with what life hands you even if it is something you did not want. I really do not see a financially responsible way to hand everybody the dream of their choice via government money. However, we should note by the recent demonstrations against Wall Street that there are many people that are more than simmering over their lot in life. Bad things happen when you have a large group of people that are angry with a lot of time on their hands. We may be getting to a point where we may have to stop approaching this problem as business as usual.
