agstar, obviously you do not read you rant.......I was the one that started farming 20 years ago...larry is not a farmer, he has worked in the grain industry for 26 years....
Govt have always and will continue to have a role in agriculture, there will always be trade, infrastrucure, food health and safely, safety net/risk management issues, security of food supply (some countries), etc.etc....
I am not going to get into the whole SM5 debate here, but quite frankly on my mixed farming operation there are a lot of things that the govt feels they are in a lot better position to do for me because they some how think it is in my best interests...specifically from my perspective are the means by which I may market and use risk management related to pricing for my wheat and barley production.
the fact that the wheat market is on fire, finally....and we cannot sell our wheat for what it is worth may preclude a lot of smart and capable young people from wanting to enter an industry that restricts their freedoms....
"increase rewards and decrease risks".....agstar these two statements directly contradict each other....
I was attracted to farming because of the risk, managing risk is the ultimate challenge of the crops business....every year, season and crop is different....show young people that rewards of managing the diverse risks of grain farming can be lucrative and this will attract their investment of time and money!
what percentage of young people today go on to be owners and managers of small cap companies and small business?
