It is different here in the US.
You pay to be a farmer.
The Goverment will loan you a million dollars or so. Tell you to raise 1000 arces of corn, soy beans, etc. Promise you that they will be a great market for the crops when harvest times comes. Then back out of the deal. Leaving you a million dollars in debt with no way to pay beack the loan. Then the Goverment will seize your land and equipment. Sale it to Wal-Mart who opens a Super Center and you go to work for Wal-Mart 20 hours a week at minumim wage with nothing to look forward to except those Willy Nelson Farm Aide concerts every year.
You end up dying a broken man, leaving the huge debt owed to the goverment to your kids. The cycle ends only when the 19th or 20th generation gets that million dollars paid back or the entire family dies out from the lake of aires.
