People in other jobs might wonder, if you can only make money from subsidy & by not-farming, what's the point of farming?
A) it's volatile, risky and unpredictable. A few recent years weren't as bad as last year.
B) it's what we do
C) Bet you're glad we do

I grew up on a small family farm in New Jersey & I have an M.S. in agricultural economics from Purdue. People think 'the heartland' is full of family farms run by unpretentious 'folk' who drive 10 year old pickup trucks, but much of modern farming is controlled by multinational conglomerates. 1/2
