I think as they described it- If someone is getting 180,000 of government for an irrigation system, to help them make money, why shouldn’t the public be allowed? It’s a huge chunk of change. I don’t know the specifics.
I have my home piece in 2.5 acres of crp because it’s a creek/flood prone spot. But the other 16 acres I don’t have in anything. I get $134 an acre- which is a far cry from what I could be doing with it, so no, I wouldnt want anyone on it because what’s really going to stop someone from going further. Now if they said, we will give you $1134 an acre if you let people hunt it, and here’s a waiver clearing you of any fault. Ok deal.
My Allamakee county farm I get $107 an acre (mind you, neither were farmed before so no good numbers). It’s not like I making 1000s or getting tax breaks like a large majority of farmers.
Farmers field the world- do I think they need tax breaks? To a point yes- but the conversation of the podcast was where do you draw the line?
The rich get richer, example of, realtree is buying up land and dividing it to resell smaller parcels for higher prices. But they will come out with a new camo pattern to make more money, to buy more ground to divide, essentially jamming more people into smaller parcels.
I think honestly I’ve never thought about it as much as I did until now, but they lost me when they mentioned skip sligh (total joke)
