[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6994179, member: 54866"] If you go on any farming forum anywhere in the world you will see the exact same complaints as you do here. It's a global marketplace with a lot of players, lots of external factors at play and increasingly volatile prices. In many, many, markets a lot of family or smaller units have gone out or been absorbed. It is the same as it always has been. People get good, get big, change what they do or do something else. Many many other industries have experienced the same unfortunately. Throw in the low returns, the increasing regulation, the dearth of skilled indigenous labour etc,etc,etc... it's happening and has happened for decades all over the world. Even in Europe, where subsidies have been at play for decades, there are an awful lot of very large corporately operated farming enterprises and an awful lot of farms where the owner goes out to work another job and does the farming part time- and they do this because they have structured their businesses this way.
