So who gets our farm when we go bankrupt, the government or the private lender? 🤷🙄

What is the number 1 piece of advice you would give to a farmer if 2026 is their first year in production?

@gwiesefarms Always have newer iron than the neighbors, because it’s a competition.

@gwiesefarms Lease the equipment because I'm going to farm those acres year 2

@silagechopper Stay in your feed alley and leave the renting to us BTOs

Probably have other peoples land lords calling me when they see my successful small grain operation….

Love a landlord what won't fix the problem until they can blame it on someone else then rent me the ground 💪💪
Tim “Clownshow Farms” Braun@braunfarm
Interesting conversation with a new landlord. Dad is taking over his farm after he kicked the last tenant off for excess tillage and letting gulleys wash. He is going to have the gulleys fixed and tile put in to reduce the ponding that caused the issue. The landlord is planning on having the previous tenant pay for a large portion of the repairs. He said it should be treated no differently than someone renting a house and trashing it Should rental contracts have provisions for the tenant being responsible for soil loss and field damage?

@DoubleDauwn @AgroNationalism Whichever you pick, be sure to thank a BTO for the food you ate today

@AgroNationalism I haven't figured out which role homesteaders like best, the hero who saves the world or the victim who is under relentless attack from the evil monoculturists.
English
Land is impossibly expensive.
Equipment is impossibly expensive.
Labor is impossibly expensive.
The techniques of industrial monoculture are impossible to teach a first Gen farmer.
A suburbanite who wants to farm but can't get into it critiques the barriers to entry and monocultists respond:
"You don't farm! You don't know what its like! Your opinion is useless!"
The suburbanite gets chickens, cows, sells direct-to-consumer. They are profitable and want to scale up. They continue to critique the barriers. The monocultists respond:
"You're just a stupid homesteader! Get out of here, weekend-wally! You can't scale!"
Joe Salatin, White Oak Pastures, Richard Perkins, Clay Bottom Farms, Mark Shepard all prove it works great at scale, and the monocultists respond:
"That could never work in my area! Pros like me can't afford to mess around with polycropping! I've got debt to pay! One wrong move and I go bankrupt!"
The monocultist retires, his children saw the alcoholism, obesity, stress and loneliness overtake Dad growing up. They got into white collar work and refuse to take over the farm. They value their health and buy a CSA from the local market garden.
The monocultist lays dying, old and broken, knowing their 8th generation farm will get sold to BlackRock.
The "homesteaders" kids are now adults and with 10+ years of farming experience and are closing on 50-150 acre plots of land to scale up the new intergenerational family farm.
VanRaalte, Agro-Nationalist@AgroNationalism
The craziest thing about monoculture farmers is their own kids don't even want to do it. The amount of people who know how to grow food is collapsing fast and these blockheads with their giant combines and swimming pools of poison can't see the writing on the wall. The stress will kill you. The dust will kill you. The poison will kill you. The loneliness will kill you. Why would anyone want to farm this way? It's too hard to learn, too much work, too much debt, and what do you get out of it? 50 bucks of profit an acre and ethanol corn? Disgusting factory farmed meat? Yet the demand for rural life has never been higher. Something's got to give. Every person I know under 30 wants to be involved in some sort of farming community. There's nothing left in this culture. The USA is wrecked and there's nothing to do. Industrial monoculture can be hated on the basis of its community-destroying nature alone. You just can't consolidate like we have and continue having functional communities. Rural America has been liquidated and turned into a resource colony for the rest of the world. It's abhorrent. Many young people dream of the chance to own land and farm in their own safe communities, away from endless traffic and racial violence of regime-run cities and suburbs.

@BrianWillott I've rented thousands of acres by exposing the worst farmers (broke) to their (now my) landlords. Some of these guys didn't even have a batwing.
English
Every farmer thinks they are the best farmer in the county, even that one that you think is the worst farmer in the county.
English
Please think of the poor farmers as you fill up at the gas pump. Every extra gallon of ethanol you burn helps a farmer purchase a much needed Cobalt speedboat
Brady@BradyD78
If you thought making a profit at $4.00 corn was hard wait until it hits $1.52 😳 “Without the use of year-round E15 and using corn to produce other fuels such as marine fuels, the study predicts corn could fall as low as $1.52 per bushel by 2050.” You better sharpen those pencils and tighten those belts boys! dailyiowan.com/2026/02/02/loc…

It's like they don't even care about the BTOs anymore 😭😭

We need fewer ‘homesteaders’ and more successful small scale farmers

End of watch for these girls without ever letting us down ...big shoes to fill for the next ones!

I deep rip every farm we farm every 5-6 years. Because compaction kills and my equipment is never getting smaller. Otherwise we use minimal tillage. Never have I seen my soil end up in the ditch. Tillage is awesome. So is minimum tillage. No till is cool too and if you can make cover crops work you have my ultimate respect. Singular systems aren’t the answer. It’s a combo, and a willingness to be versatile and not live in some stupid box is always going to be the answer. Picture of unicorn here because I haven’t posted in a minute and it’s awesome.

@grok @DbauerBR549 @_TheMizzouTiger I don't have any banks that will finance it. How can Deere afford to lease equipment when the depreciation seems so high
English
Sounds like a tough cycle. Many farmers do rely on subsidies (USDA: $16B in 2025 aid, mostly to larger ops) and leasing (e.g., 40% of equipment leased per Farm Journal). Equity building via ownership can stabilize, but high costs hinder it. What's one barrier to owning more equipment for you?
English
@grok @DbauerBR549 @_TheMizzouTiger They could do it like I did. Hardwork, tear out fences, batwing, cold call land owners, attend funerals, take tax payers dollars, systemically raise input prices so the tax dollars continue, lease my equipment so I have limited equity when I inevitably can't pay my bills, repeat
English
Noted—rural youth outmigration persists in some areas (Census: net loss for 18-34 group pre-2025), reducing competition for land. Yet, post-pandemic rebounds show influx to small towns (USDA: 430K net gain 2021-2024; NY Post: highest rate in decade). What incentives might keep young farmers around?
English
@grok @DbauerBR549 @_TheMizzouTiger I like that young people are not wanting to live in rural America. It limits the competition I have for renting their generational farm when they move away
English
That's a harsh take. Stats show rural areas face higher meth use (e.g., 1.7% among rural youth vs. 0.7% urban, per 2024 SAMHSA data), contributing to challenges like overdoses. Yet, they produce most US food and support vital industries. Solutions like better access to treatment could help. What's one positive rural impact you see?

That's right you STO's need to respect my massive subsidies
Grok@grok
Farm subsidies can create ripple effects: they stabilize farm incomes, supporting rural jobs in equipment, transport, and processing (e.g., USDA data shows $12B in 2025 aid boosted sectors). This may lower food prices for consumers and spur local spending. However, studies (e.g., 2024 analyses) note much flows to large farms and landowners, with limited broad trickle-down, potentially inflating rents without aiding small producers. What's your take?
