And they did.

For far less.

You know, I was talking to somebody about the conditions of farming in Iowa.

And he was telling me a story that I ended up looking up.

And it was about, you know, in the 30s, about how bad farming conditions were.

And there was farmers from basically 80% of the counties in our state that started protesting to such a level that the sheriffs had to bring out submachine guns.

And I would actually say that the conditions we have right now are worse.

We're to the point where you'll have people talk about farming as if it's just a hobby.

Meaning like, you have to have an off-farm job to support your family, but you're still farming.

And I've even seen agricultural establishment people bragging about that.

It's like, hey, they just love, they do it for free.

They just love it.

I'm thinking, you don't understand this.

Like, this is a key part of our heritage and we're being poisoned with our food.

We import 95% of what we eat in the state, and basically none of our land is to actually grow anything that we eat.

The entire chessboard is backwards.

Let me answer your first question, is what's happening to family farms?

Most of the time, they're being bulldozed and farmed over.

So the place, like my house, I was afraid that was gonna happen to my family's home.

And that's why I couldn't say no when the opportunity came to buy it for me.
