A generational collapse in Agriculture is no longer hypothetical—it is a growing reality. With land values surging, profit margins tightening, and federal policy favoring legacy operations, new and aspiring farmers face enormous barriers to entry. In this hard-hitting episode, Damian Mason is joined by Iowa farmer Elliott Henderson and Minnesota farmer Lance Petersen to discuss the policy shifts needed to revitalize rural America and secure the future of farming.
In this episode:
- Why current policy favors incumbents over new entrants
- How subsidies and crop insurance shape the ag economy
- The economics behind farm consolidation
- What young and beginning farmers need to succeed
- Policy solutions that could prevent a generational implosion
This is a vital conversation for policymakers, ag professionals, and anyone concerned about the sustainability of U.S. Agriculture.
