I meant in terms of coming up with cash for operating costs in the beginning of the year. Just because you own 100 acres doesn’t mean that you have quarter million liquid cash to get the farm season going until harvest and sales can cover it. Most farm operations run on credit. And uncertainty.

The uncertainty of labour and it’s lack is one more nail on the coffin.

Fun fact: insurance companies and pension funds routinely invest in farmland. This is a risk and speculative game at this point.
