What planet have you been living on. All us farmres don't want to sell our land. We just want to make a decent living for our families. Try paying for machinery, operating expenses, labor, interest on the money we have to borrow in order to plant another crop. You are very misinformed. You should pay my bills for a while and then cry. Not to mention the fact that farming is just like playing poker. One bad crop can break you and send you straight to the poor house.

The gov't has not done anything to help me. In fact they have seen to it that I now sell my crops for quite a bit less than I did just 4 years ago. When you city dwellers get hungry, it will be a different story. The trouble now is to many city dwellers are setting policy for the rural families of this country. We have no say in anything now days.

My bills would make your head spin. I would trade taxes with you. City dwellers with a dream of owning 40 acres are the primary reason for farm taxes going up. The gov't now wants to assess land as to what it would be worth if subdivided and houses built all over it.This increases the tax base for city dwellers to benefit from.

This tax increase along with a bad year has caused many rich farmers as you seem to think have to sell their land.

Stay in the city, as I don't want you for a neighbor.
