Quick & interesting take as to why there are fewer farmers. I'm sure we can punch holes in this, but here you go.

I dont know where you're going with that?
Are farmers the ones calling others "sub-human retards" or just some rando who is pro-farmer?
If just the rando pro-farmers poster, yeah... he makes no sense.
Right, he's talking about being the first to offer or not.
Here's the entire article. https://www.on3.com/college/nebraska-cornhuskers/news/matt-rhule-on-the-state-of-in-state-high-school-recruiting-desperate-teams-set-the-market/
You're comparing different eras of college football.
Also, are you trying to compare Tom Osborne to Kirk Ferentz in how they recruited?
Rhule never said that. If so, why did he take 8 Nebraska boys in 2024, 6 in 2025 and 3 so far in 2027? Even if he did, why should he take a Nebraska kid just...
Like most groups, they feel like they actually do deserve it at times.
They work hard & put up huge risks, but because they're bottom man on the totem pole & there are many things out of their control, they can get screwed and need help to overcome that.
Unlike some other people who don't even...
Also, what happens when crop prices do increase? Magically, so does fertilizer, seed, equipment, service costs, insurance, etc. All things the farmers has to pay for.
Farmers are the bottom man of the totem pole.
Haha! Man, I don't know what you've personally experienced to have such an axe to grind against farmers, but you've been pretty much wrong on their mindset and what they do / don't do as a whole.
There are socialist characteristics, but it isn't socialism.
Subsidies are a tool that intervenes within a mixed economy.
Socialism would require public ownership and centralized control of that farm land and of what farmers can / can't do.
Sure, but even for a young farmer, all the costs I mentioned earlier still applies.
It's not like the young farmer is going to have the means / financing available to buy up 500 acres along with everything else that comes along with farming.
You still had to apply for it. Depending on your "needs" determined how much you were going to get.
Just like any other business. Most took it, but some didn't out of principle.
