The current farm system disproportionately benefits older farmers while making it difficult for younger farmers to succeed. It fosters entitlement among older generations, who rely on political support, thus hindering the ability of young farmers to enter the industry. This broken system complicates the transfer of family farms, resulting in fewer opportunities and increased challenges for the next generation of agricultural practitioners. The existing structure prioritizes the interests of established farmers over the development and sustainability of new farming initiatives.
Older farmers benefit from a broken farm system that favors their interests while neglecting the needs of younger farmers, creating barriers to entry for new generations.
This system has cultivated a sense of entitlement among older farmers, who have become reliant on political support, thus perpetuating challenges for aspiring young farmers.
