Well yes, a lot of people including my family have done ok out of it. The only difference in our case is that we've reinvested most of the money into more land and diversification rather than stash it away. It's a matter of timing in many cases, some will have too much debt if subs go, others will have been in a similar situation ten years earlier and will have paid back most of their debts and will ride out the storm. It doesn't make them better farmers or businessmen.
In some cases yes in others no. Some just got lucky because a rich aunt left her nephew a big lump sum two or three generations ago.
Greed.
It's a bit like a fresh calved milk cow.
The more she milks..... the more hard grub you give her.
Without good judgement........ she eventually gets the sh1!s and gets ill.
