You know, we don't use... I use more legacy equipment, older equipment, partially for this exact reason.

But what I'd say to producers, especially young ones, is I think what they need to understand is this is being done on purpose.

They're doing this on purpose.

And what I mean by that is that, you know, my whole life...

Every politician I've ever met has said, we have to support farmers, we have to support farmers.

And everything's gotten worse for the actual producer.

And so if you actually look at the past 10 years,

and what the agribusiness lobby has spent in Washington, D.C.

It's about a $1.5 billion in the past 10 years lobbying Congress.

The top five companies during that same time have made about $150 billion in profit in the same time we've lost 100,000 farms.

Family farms.

So who are they lobbying for?

It's not the farmer.

It's not the producer.

This is something that sometimes is difficult to bring up.

Because, you know, right now, Bobby Kennedy is really fighting against, like, big food, for instance.

And I've been told by people that taking on the fight that I'm taking on with big agriculture is much more difficult.

And there's a reason for that.

And the reason is big agriculture has created a caricature of farming, and they're pretending to be the people that are defending the heritage of our farmers.

But actually, they're the ones extracting every dollar of wealth out of our farms that they possibly can and bragging about farm consolidation.
