Implications Current commodity based programs are capitalized into land values and produce a significant barrier to entry for new farmers Low rates of returns in commodity production require high volumes to produce an adequate income Older farmers are looking to land as a source of retirement income Low rates of return require significant resources to allow land purchase
38
Options for Beginning Farmers
With commodity production they must work towards volume as a means of generating income Look for means to produce differentiated products to widen the margins Look for off-farm income to supplement farming income Consider alternative employment
39
Conclusions Trends continue to move against beginning farmers
Society must decide what is the purpose of the government programs and if having beginning farmers is a legitimate concern Beginning farmers must realistically make their choices based on their resource base and the situations they face Cheap credit is not the solution for beginning farmer problems
