Farmers love to complain how there's no money in farming as they pull up in their $100k truck, to their 10 million dollars worth of land, with a million dollar home on it, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of recreational vehicles & a boat, with $10,000 in cash in their pocket.
I can tell you don't actually know any farmers.
The real joke is how to get started farming, you're either born into it or you marry into it because there's no way to turn a profit if you don't inherit the land
I used to sell recreational vehicles to farmers and the experience was almost universally what I described above. I know that not all farmers have money, but they have a shit load of actual value, and the ones I dealt with also had a lot of money. The small family farm is almost extinct. Like you said, most of them now were born into millions of dollars worth of assets and live pretty comfortable lives. Granted, my experience is only limited to a single region in a single state, so it might be completely different in other places.
