>>>>We see no destruction of the rural society. We do see changes. And we
see
opportunities for young people in those areas that are seeing an actual
reduction of their population. Especially if land prices trend down again.
And my view is that when interest rates go back up eventually, and someday
they will, you will see a drop in real estate values. Probably not as
precipitously as the 1980's, but could be a help to younger people. Then
maybe we would not have to have those absurd "programs" to help new farmers.

I have to wonder what you have been smoking to think that there has been no
destruction of the rural society. What is your definition of rural society?
You are the only one I have heard to take that position in the last 40
years.
