Parents you really wanna kick Jr while he’s down? Make him wait until 50+ to take over any financial role, leave everything in a family trust so he has no equity to operate/borrow capital. While your at it call the JD dealer and get pricing for what to charge him for your lineup
Legacy has become one of the biggest scams in ag. If you’re under 45 and don’t have a clear path yet go start your own thing. You can take just as much pride in that. Waiting till you’re 50-55+ to run an operation working for a family trust and off farm siblings is not a legacy
2. I’ll elaborate. Ag industry glorifies legacy making young people fell they owe it to the family farm to come back and wait their turn if they want to farm. It looks 50/50 if that works out in their favor. If your aren’t able to take the first opportunity that comes your way
Nothing is more peak boomer than wanting control beyond the grave. Wasn’t enough to control for 40-50 years while living…
Replying to @jennyrozelle
🪦 Reason 6 - Control beyond the grave.
You can establish specific conditions for distributions (like age requirements or specific purposes) for beneficiaries.
This is especially for those that have: 1) minors as beneficiaries, 2) spendthrift beneficiaries, 3) beneficiaries with addictions, etc.
Great, dad seen this picture and decided he wants to rent the farm to the prison inmates because he doesn’t have to worry about them leaving for a better opportunity
Life lesson. Some captains would rather go down with the ship than let someone more capable navigate it to safe waters.
Average age of US farmer set to rise by 1 year in 2025
🌽CBOT March #corn maxed out at $4.90-1/2 per bushel on Tuesday, the most-active contract's highest since Dec. 8, 2023. However, RSI = 74 suggests overbought conditions.
Corn is up 6.9% so far in 2025. Only 2 years of the last 20 had a stronger first 3 weeks of Jan: 2021, 2008.
You know why everyone under 50 is upset TikTok went away? It’s the only place they could vent about the farm and dad not see it. X has been infiltrated
Thankfully the crypto market is all green cuz when dad sees the 5 handle on corn my shot at farming next year is done
