AW, YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT! The "yuppies" that you seem to despise have substantially the same aspriations that you do- they're just a hell of a lot better at making a living at something else, and THEY have kids (about your age)that they have to feed (unlike you, who are fed by your momma).
By virtue of the fact that THEY found a way to BUY what they have, and despite the demands of their REAL job manage to spend even SOME time working it, they deserve your respect. They may not know everything- but they are there. They may require turn key equipment- because they don't have the time to fart around with unreliable stuff like you do. You may not like the stuff they buy to do the job- tough! The same folks you disdain as yuppie farmers create the computer programs you use, engineer the vehicles your momma drives you around in and teach at your schools. IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT THAT TSC IS WHAT IT IS... and YOU would do well to listen and learn from some of these folks as well as the "old land" farmers.
Your mom has 5 acres- YOU will NEVER be an "old land" farmer because at best she can leave you 5 acres-just like I will never be an "old money" millionaire because my momma couldn't leave me a cent. I bought and paid for every grain of dirt I own- no "old land" and no "old money", just like a lot of so called "yuppies".
Farms get sold and split up not because 'yuppies' are willing to buy, but because farmers are willing to sell out. TSC becomes a boutique store not because of the yuppies, but because THATS WHERE THE MONEY IS.
And- laugh at my horse business, pal, but understand that I am a helluva lot more successful at raising world champion appaloosas profitably than you are at raising chickens, and I do it as a side job. Ask me how- I'd be happy to tell you, and you MIGHT be able to apply some of it to chicken farming. or- assume I'm a "yuppie" cause i drive a nice truck, and don't learn $hit.
The modern farmer is a BUSINESS MAN- as much a "YUPPIE" as any other business man, but with differnt skills and different needs. As a YOUNG MAN, you would do well to stop hanging on the coat tails of others' prejudice and try to learn from EVERY adult you come in contact with.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
